Nashville Predators general manager Barry Trotz will announce on Feb. 2 that he is stepping down, according to a report from Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.

The report from Friedman also indicates Trotz will continue in the role until his replacement can be found.

The Predators have announced a news conference on Feb. 2. The release said Trotz will have an announcement at Bridgestone Arena along with CEO Sean Henry and owner Bill Haslam. The Predators did not disclose the nature of the announcement.

The timing of this decision sets up a challenging rest of the season. With the Predators’ record at 25-23-6 (56 points) and four points out of the final wild card spot, they are within striking distance of the playoffs. But in the ultra competitive Western Conference, their chances of a deep playoff run are slim. Trotz has indicated he’s been willing to listen to offers on players like Ryan O’Reilly, Michael McCarron, and Michael Bunting at the trade deadline, which is on March 6.

Trotz, 63, took over as general manager in 2023 after the retirement of David Poile. Trotz was the first coach in Predators history, coaching from 1998 until 2014.

When Trotz took the job, he made a flurry of changes in an attempt to change the locker room culture. Matt Duchene’s contract was bought out, Ryan Johansen was traded to Colorado, and the team signed center Ryan O’Reilly. The moves worked to transition the team away from the previous core and into a new look.

But many moves by Trotz came under heavy scrutiny. The decision not to sell Alex Carrier at the deadline in 2024, then sign him over the summer, then trade him just two months into the next season. The decision to sign Juuse Saros to an eight-year contract, instead of transitioning to Yaroslav Askarov in net. Losing Dante Fabbro in waivers to Columbus. Trading Luke Schenn to the Penguins for a third round pick, then seeing the Penguins immediately flip him for a second round pick. It was hard to find wins among the many apparent losses.

As the team looks for its next general manager, it will be worth noting if they keep with tradition and stay within the ‘Predators family’ or if they look outside of the organization.

As if there was any doubt, Hilary Knight has officially been named the captain of the U.S. women’s Olympic hockey team that will compete for gold at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games.

Knight, who will be competing in her fifth Olympics, has served as captain for the U.S. since the 2023 IIHF Women’s World Championship.

‘Whenever we sign up to play for Team USA, it’s to win a gold medal, and that mindset hasn’t changed,’ Knight, considered one of the greatest players ever in the women’s game, said at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic media summit in October.

Knight had five goals to lead the U.S. to a four-game sweep of archrival Canada last fall. Although Canada is the defending Olympic champion in women’s hockey, Team USA will be the favorite in Italy after winning two of the last three world championships and outscoring Canada 24-7 in the Rivalry Series.

Along with Knight as captain, USA Hockey also announced on Monday, Feb. 2 that forward Alex Carpenter and defender Megan Keller will serve as alternate captains. Both will be competing in their third Olympics.

The Americans play their Olympic opener on Thursday, Feb. 5 against Czechia at Milano Rho Hockey Arena.

NEW YORK — Almost three hours before Sunday’s nationally televised game between the Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers at Madison Square Garden, about 50 huddled fans gathered outside the “world’s famous arena,” eagerly awaiting entry.

The chants of “Let’s Go Knicks” were loud enough to give people who were walking by in midtown Manhattan bundled up because of the frigid temperatures a sarcastic side-eye.

But the frenzy outside the arena isn’t for a playoff game, because it was only Feb 1. The anticipation hit a fever pitch, even though the mercury hit a balmy 15 degrees. For an average ticket price of $912, according to TickPick (the highest since Kobe Bryant’s final game in 2016), they better be diehard fans or scalpers. 

Those screaming Knicks fans couldn’t care less about how they look or sound, and that is great news for NBC, which broadcast the game to kick off its “Sunday Night Basketball” package with a doubleheader. (The defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets capped off the night)

Two of the NBA’s most storied franchises, the game’s all-time leading scorer, LeBron James, who could be making his last trip to New York unless these teams meet in the Finals, Luka Doncic, this season’s leading scorer, and a franchise so championship-starved that any playoff elimination feels like a funeral, are enough storylines to keep any fan tuned in.

Those in attendance got their money’s worth, with the Knicks winning their sixth straight overall in a 112-100 victory.

Make no mistake about it, that’s what NBC wants, and viewers will see that the production and the feel is going to be like that of the network’s main sports cash cow, “Sunday Night Football,” broadcast television’s No. 1 rated program for the past decade and a half.

Mike Tirico, the play-by-play extraordinaire for “Sunday Night Football” and next week’s Super Bowl 60, along with his Winter Olympic hosting duties, will call the games, and analysts Reggie Miller and Jamal Crawford are also on board for the ride.

The look and feel of ‘Sunday Night Basketball’ and NBC’s $2.5 billion annual investment make this another showcase for the Peacock network, but during the first installment, it doesn’t have the standalone “all eyes on me” mentality of its football counterparts, as there were four other night games on the Feb. 1 NBA schedule. 

“I tell people all the time, if you get a chance to go back in time, some of my best moments were on this network,” Miller told USA TODAY Sports. “Obviously, in this building, and to have a chance to do a 360, and wouldn’t say end my career. But it looks like it, you know, this would be my last swan song. I was on that other network for 18, 19 years, and now, to be back here, um, it’s something that’s truly a walk down memory lane for me.”

Miller, a self-proclaimed early bird because of his military brat upbringing, starts his gameday with a workout and then preps his storyboard, which takes about 2.5 hours, and whether the game is a blowout or a close affair, there will be plenty of things to talk about.

“I like to be overprepared that way,” Miller said, acknowledging the fans’ complaints of his perceived bias or that he talks too much during telecasts.

Tesh is back and has been since NBC’s October return to NBA broadcasting, and as Carrie Underwood prepared fans for “Sunday Night Football,” Grammy-winning musician Lenny Kravitz handles those opening musical duties for “Sunday Night Basketball.”

“We have a base that’s already there. Look, we are great storytellers on this network. I think that’s always been the case, whether it’s football, basketball, or whatever sport there is,” Miller said. “I think that will continue when you’ve got one of the best in the business, like Mike Tirico and Jamal and myself, who’s, you know, I played 18 years, he played 19, so we have almost 40 years of experience between us. Either you love us, or you hate us, or we’re still gonna talk to you as if you’re one of us.”

But the quarterback of the entire show is no doubt Tirico, who Frank DiGraci, NBC Sports’ coordinating producer, says he is the best, most versatile announcer in the business today.

“To me, that is the best sports television production out of any sport, on any network in this country. When they (NBC President Rick Cordella and Sam Flood, the Executive Producer & President, Production of NBC Sports) came to us to say, we want to do ‘Sunday Night Basketball,’ I was like, ‘let’s go,’” DiGraci said. “And that’s our vision to just transfer ‘Sunday Night Football’ and the high level, and the quality that that brings, and just keep it going. Okay. And that’s our goal, right? Tonight, starting tonight and going forward.”

“Sunday Night Basketball” will also have a feel of importance, with the studio crew on-site for each game.

The pregame crew of ‘Basketball Night in America’ host Maria Taylor, analysts Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady, with special correspondent Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Bob Costas, were on hand for the tilt from New York

But Miller, one of the Knicks’ biggest villains during his playing days, wouldn’t have it any other way and says he still enjoys the way fans despise him for something he did 30 years ago.

“People think that I’ve only won in this building. I’ve lost a lot in here as well,” Miller said, as evidenced by his 33% winning percentage at the Garden. “I’ve had my heart broken in this building a lot, too. So, it’s a two-way street, but I always tell people that Knicks fans, um, are truly a separate breed of what fandom is all about.”

So, it was part nostalgia with Miller, getting booed at every turn pre-game, part moving forward for NBC, and an opening that was a resounding success, with the hopes of dominating Sunday nights for the foreseeable future.

It is simply a goofy advertisement using an ’80s anthem as its vehicle. Yet Keegan-Michael Key believes there is a grander challenge within that.

The decorated comedian and actor will make his full-length Super Bowl commercial debut Feb. 8 when State Farm’s spot is beamed to an audience of more than 100 million people. And while Key built his career on a more specific fandom through comedic sketches on ‘Mad TV’ and ‘Key & Peele,’ appealing to the masses creates its own task.

“Somebody said a long time ago, ‘Generality is the enemy of all art.’ And that specificity is what makes art good,” Key tells USA TODAY Sports, evoking the words of 19th century Russian character actor and director Konstantin Stanislavski. “The challenge is how do you do something specific that is universal at the same time.

Rate the best and worst Super Bowl commercials!

“It sounds like they’re diametrically opposed, these two concepts, but that’s very often what people at an ad agency have to do. How do you reach the most amount of people with the most interesting, most salient material possible?

“I embrace that challenge.”

Key believes the audience will agree. He stars alongside fellow comedian Danny McBride as inept insurance agents aiming to reassure a disbelieving Hailee Stanfield that their agency – Halfway There Insurance – is on the level.

It doesn’t take long to figure out the significance of the insurance firm’s title, as Key and McBride launch into a rendition of Bon Jovi’s ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ with the help of girl group Katseye.

“It is working multi-generationally, because you’re talking about an anthem everybody knows,” says Key. “It’s a perfect song because it’s one of the few songs where everybody in our society knows the song.

“It hits with Hailee, with Katseye, with me and Danny and with the song. It’s a really well-wrought concept.”

Key and Co. will aim to uphold State Farm’s typically robust Super Sunday showings, having claimed the top slot in USA TODAY’s Ad Meter ratings in 2024 on the strength of a reunion between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito.

Key calls Jake From State Farm “one of the most iconic figures in the ad space,” and like the 2024 spot, the brand ambassador’s presence is limited. Instead, the heavy lifting is done by the ensemble.

It’s familiar territory for Key, a master of the absurd through his career of sketch comedy and public appearances, be it sending up President Obama or infiltrating Penn State’s spring football game to lampoon his lookalike, former coach James Franklin.

Key, who completed his MFA in theater at Penn State in 1996, might keep half an eye on Virginia Tech, after Franklin’s firing and subsequent hiring by the Hokies. While bummed to see his pal Franklin go, he’s bullish on the hiring of former Iowa State coach Matt Campbell.

“I thought he did a lot of wonderful things for that university and consider him a friend. And tried to support my alma mater as best I could in that regard,” Key says of Franklin. “I’m looking forward to Matt Campbell’s tenure, in that regard. He did wonderful things at Iowa State, and I think he’s going to bring a culture in that will be really good. Time will tell, but I think he was an absolutely wonderful pick.

“Not a middle-of-the-road pick; I think our AD took a swing and we’re looking at a standup double, if not a triple.”

Key can only hope for the same on Super Sunday. The cuts are in and the spot will roll and only then will Key discover how well it hit with the masses.

“The nerves are there,” he says. “I’m excited, I’m nervous, but I have to tell you: I feel very confident about this piece of content.”

We’re less than two months from non-fake baseball. And almost every gain to be had over the winter has been spoken for.

With that, USA TODAY Sports rolls out its first power rankings for 2026, an alignment with many nods to the year that passed, yet allowances for all that transpired since the Los Angeles Dodgers converged in a disbelieving dogpile on the Rogers Centre infield, their consecutive World Series championships narrowly secured.

No, nobody ‘wins the winter,’ but it’s impossible to ignore the many seismic shifts that unfolded. Check back around Opening Day, but for now, here’s how Major League Baseball’s 30 title hopefuls (well many have such hope) stack up:

1. Los Angeles Dodgers

If you think a threepeat is a fait accompli, keep in mind: These guys finished fifth in these here power rankings at the end of last season.

2. Philadelphia Phillies

A tentative bet on contributions from Aidan Miller and Justin Crawford.

3. Toronto Blue Jays

A very different look in 2026 – but perhaps an even more consistent one.

4. Seattle Mariners

They gotta hope the conviction gained from best season ever outweighs ALCS Game 7 hangover.

5. New York Yankees

Assuming the winter rehabs of Cole, Rodón, Judge and Volpe continue apace.

6. Chicago Cubs

Not much boom, more bust potential for pitching staff.

7. Boston Red Sox

Wilyer Abreu set for All-Star campaign. And these guys probably need that.

8. New York Mets

Not often a team with a half-billion dollar luxury tax payroll also has a ‘so crazy, it just might work!’ vibe.

9. Detroit Tigers

Tarik Skubal arbitration hearing not the sort of preseason spice a fan hopes for.

10. Milwaukee Brewers

Famous Wisconsinite Harry Houdini would be impressed if the Brewers can pull off their next trick.

11. San Diego Padres

Wild to see how long they can keep this going.

12. Houston Astros

The Framber Valdez-Tatsuya Imai de facto swap will be fascinating to track.

13. San Francisco Giants

Harrison Bader and Luis Arráez fill highly specific needs at little commitment beyond this year.

14. Texas Rangers

Some aggressive and potentially strong moves (hello, MacKenzie Gore), but ’24 additions Joc Pederson and Jake Burger need to get going.

15. Cincinnati Reds

Almost like they expected an ‘At Least You Tried’ cake for pursuing Kyle Schwarber.

16. Baltimore Orioles

Gunnar Henderson getting over a shoulder impingement a significant winter development.

17. Kansas City Royals

If Tigers underachieve again, they can take advantage.

18. Arizona Diamondbacks

Seemed inevitable they’d wind up with Nolan Arenado.

19. Cleveland Guardians

The Jose Ramírez track record: Six division titles, six Silver Sluggers, seven All-Star selections.

20. Tampa Bay Rays

Shane McClanahan aiming once again to get to the starting line.

21. Atlanta Braves

Still expecting a pitching addition before that Grapefruit League tipoff.

22. Miami Marlins

Swapping a mid-rotation starter for Owen Caissie’s upside is wise.

23. St. Louis Cardinals

Arrival of the J.J. Wetherholt train worthy of excitement.

24. Pittsburgh Pirates

Crazy experiment they got going, aiming to pair a great pitching staff with a potentially league-average offense.

25. Athletics

Jacob Wilson joins Tyler Soderstrom, Lawrence Butler Jr. and Brent Rooker in the group of Yolo County survivors bound for Las Vegas.

26. Los Angeles Angels

Yoan Moncada is back, in case you were waiting on that decision.

27. Minnesota Twins

Manager fired. New ownership control person. President of baseball operations nudged out. Your basic slow drip of news.

28. Chicago White Sox

Raise your hand if you’ll miss all the Luis Robert Jr. trade rumors. Anybody?

29. Washington Nationals

There does appear to be a framework of a plan, but this year? Avert the eyes, perhaps.

30. Colorado Rockies

(Hands keys to No. 30 to Paul DePodesta) ‘Not much to it, but we can get you two hots and a cot. Try not to stay here too long.’

We now know each of the 24 NBA All-Stars.

On Sunday, Feb. 1, during an NBC pregame show leading up to the premier of “Sunday Night Basketball,” the NBA revealed the 14 reserves (seven per conference) to round out the rosters for the Eastern and Western Conferences.

This came after the NBA on Jan. 19 announced the 10 players who would be named starters. But, as with any All-Star selection, there are plenty of deserving players who are left snubbed and disappointed.

The 2026 NBA All-Star Game will take place Feb. 15 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, the home of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Here are the winners and losers from the selection of 2026 NBA All-Star Game reserves:

WINNERS

LeBron James

It’s clear, now at the age of 41 and in his 23rd season, that LeBron James’ skills have diminished somewhat. He’s a step slower. He doesn’t jump as high as he used to. And his shot isn’t as pure. But it’s remarkable that James is extending his record to 22 consecutive All-Star Game appearances, even though his streak of 21 straight starts is being snapped.

James remains a consistent threat and a key piece for the Lakers. Through 30 games, James is averaging 21.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists. He’s this generation’s greatest player and many of his records, including his ones in All-Star Games, might not be touched for decades.

Was this a commemorative nod? Probably. Were there players, based on this season’s performance alone, more deserving? Unquestionably.

First-time All-Stars

Congratulations to Jamal Murray (Nuggets), Chet Holmgren (Thunder), Deni Avdija (Trail Blazers), Jalen Johnson (Hawks), Norman Powell (Heat) and Jalen Duren (Pistons) for making their first-ever NBA All-Star teams.

The recognition is especially sweet for Powell, who is the oldest player of the first-timers at 32, and who has played for four different teams in 10 and a half seasons in the NBA, many of those spent as a sixth man. Either way, there’s nothing quite like the recognition, especially when it’s coaches within the conference who are selecting the reserves.

Adam Silver

The NBA commissioner won’t have to intervene and add All-Stars to ensure that there are at least eight internationally born players to meet the minimum required to field a team under the game’s new structure. There are actually at least 10 All-Star players with international ties so someone like Karl-Anthony Towns, who was born in New Jersey but has represented the Dominican Republic in international play, might have to play on one of the two U.S. teams.

LOSERS

Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and the Los Angeles Clippers

The Intuit Dome, the arena that is hosting the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, will not see a single Clippers player appear in the exhibition. In particular, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden have a case to be upset. Although Los Angeles stumbled out of the gate this season, the Clippers have course corrected and have won 16 of their last 20 games. Leonard and Harden have been the catalysts.

Leonard is averaging 27.7 points (which is ninth in the NBA), 6.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, while Harden is putting up 25.4 points, 8.1 assists and 4.8 boards per contest. Either presented an excellent case for an All-Star nod. At least one should have made it.

For my money, Leonard is by far the biggest snub.

Brandon Ingram

This is a case where Ingram was probably snubbed for a couple of reasons. For one, his teammate Scottie Barnes made the cut. Barnes is more versatile and impacts the game as an excellent defender. But even though Toronto is 29-21 (No. 4 in the East) has been one of the surprises of the NBA season, the Raptors remain a team that unfairly flies under the radar.

Either way, Ingram (21.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists per game) has been a steady scoring presence and clutch performer for Toronto.

Michael Porter Jr.

Though they’ve been slightly more competitive in recent spurts, the Brooklyn Nets have been inconsistent. But Porter Jr. has shown he can be a scoring threat and a No. 1 option. He’s averaging a career best 25.6 points per game, which is well higher than his production from last season (18.2). He’s remaining active on the glass and had a strong case to make the cut.

The biggest pain point on this for Porter is that it would’ve represented his first-ever All-Star selection.

Lauri Markkanen

Similarly, Markkanen plays for the Utah Jazz, a team that has been irrelevant for a few seasons. Yet, Markkanen entered Sunday ranked 11th in the NBA in scoring, putting up 27.4 points per game, also a career high. He has a silky jumper and can also score in the post, and he also provides some value on the glass, with his 7.0 rebounds per game.

Dillon Brooks, Alperen Şengün

The problem, simply, is that the Western Conference is loaded with talent. So while Dillon Brooks is having a career year for the Phoenix Suns, one in which he has expanded his offensive portfolio, and while Alperen Şengün is thriving on both ends for the Rockets, it’s hard to find spots for them.

The 2026 NCAA softball season is nearly here.

Last season, the sport reached new heights in viewership, gave us an exciting NCAA Tournament and introduced fans to stars like NiJaree Canady, Jordy Frahm and Bri Ellis.

The 2026 season begins this Thursday with several Power 4 programs in action.

Ahead of those games, let’s get familiar with the players expected to be among the best in the nation. A panel of USA Today Sports reporters have selected a preseason All-American team for Division I softball, featuring the 10 top players in the sport by position.

Let’s dive in:

First baseman: Jordan Woolery, UCLA

A consistent presence in the lineup for the Bruins for multiple seasons, Woolery gained some fame during last season’s NCAA Tournament when she hit a walk-off home run in Game 2 of the Super Regionals at South Carolina to keep UCLA’s season alive. The Bruins eventually advanced to the College World Series for the ninth time in the past 11 seasons, and Woolery’s bat and glove were big reasons why. She’s featured at both first and third base for UCLA.

Second base: Aminah Vega, Duke

A three-time first-team All-ACC selection and the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2024, few players in the nation have a glove as good as Vega. Her bat isn’t too shabby either, as she’s blasted 36 home runs and hits for a .386 average for the Blue Devils over the past three seasons.

Third base: Jaysoni Beachum, Florida State

Two years ago, Beachum was named Freshman of the Year by the NFCA and Softball America. Some of her hitting statistics took a dip last season, but she still drew 30 walks, hit 11 home runs and hit for a .304 average. She’ll continue to be a crucial player for Lonni Alameda’s Seminoles.

Shortstop: Isa Torres, Florida State

A consensus first-team All-American last season, Torres finished fourth in the nation for hits with 95 in 60 games. She was also one of the toughest hitters to strike out, getting fanned just five times last season, or once in every 43.6 at-bats — eighth-best nationally.

Outfield: Kasidi Pickering, Oklahoma

Pickering led powerhouse Oklahoma in on-base and slugging percentage last season, and her OPS of 1.304 ranked 39th nationally. Pickering has featured in both corner outfield positions, hit leadoff for a chunk of last season and enjoyed a 16-game hitting streak as a sophomore.

Outfield: Audrey Vandagriff, Alabama

One of the best freshmen in the nation last season, Vandagriff led the Crimson Tide with a .392 batting average. She also established a reputation as one of the best baserunners in the country, stealing 50 bags, which ranked third nationally. Vandagriff set a single-game program record with five stolen bases against Western Michigan.

Outfield: Sophia Knight, Tennessee

Last year at Boise State, Knight became the first player in Division I NCAA softball to reach 100 hits in a single season in 23 years. She ended up with 103 hits, which was a single-season record for the Mountain West Conference. In addition to her hit total, Knight also ranked third nationally in batting average (.486). She also piled up a program-record five triples, 27 stolen bases and an OPS of 1.080. Her bat should be a big boost to the Vols’ lineup.

Catcher: Reese Atwood, Texas

The Softball America National Player of the Year in 2024 and the NFCA Catcher of the Year in 2025, Atwood was the anchor for a Texas team that won its first national championship last season. In addition to providing superb defense behind the plate, she piled up 13 RBIs in the NCAA Regionals in Austin last season, then drove in three key runs in WCWS championship series against Texas Tech.

Pitcher: NiJaree Canady, Texas Tech

It’s easy to make the case Canady was the best pitcher in college softball last season. While powering the Red Raiders to their first Big 12 title and trip to the World Series, Canady ranked second nationally in ERA (1.11), third in hits allowed per seven innings (3.88), seventh in shutouts (7), third in strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.93), 10th in strikeouts per seven innings (9.3), second in total strikeouts (319), and first in wins with a 34-7 record.

Utility: Jordy Frahm, Nebraska

Formerly Jordy Bahl — she’s since gotten married — Frahm was one of the best two-way players in softball last season, drawing comparisons to MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani. Frahm ranked sixth nationally in batting average (.465) and tied for seventh in home runs (23). From the circle, she was eighth in ERA with a 1.56 mark and tied for sixth in victories with a 26-8 record. She was the only player in the nation who ranked in the top 10 in each of those statistics.

Honorable mention: Taylor Pannell (Texas Tech), Dakota Kennedy (Arkansas), Maya Johnson (Belmont), Karlyn Pickens (Tennessee), Megan Grant (UCLA), Jazzy Burns (Texas Tech), Amari Harper (Oregon), Mia Williams (Texas Tech), Taylor Shumaker (Florida), Mya Perez (Texas A&M), Addisen Fisher (Georgia)

The NBA trading deadline is upon us.

It was a quiet leadup to the final days before the Thursday, Feb. 5 deadline at 3 p.m. ET, with only one trade in the months of October, November, December and January. Compare that to last season, when there were five over that span.

Much of the league is watching the developments in Milwaukee concerning Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future with the Bucks, though action has started to pick up in recent days.
