Derek Jeter got the band back together in NYC Tuesday night -- well, a couple of guys from the band -- when he reunited with some of his old Yankees teammates at a MASSIVE celebrity party.

Numba Two kicked it with CC Sabathia, Jorge Posada and Dellin Betances at Jeter's Turn 2 Foundation event at Cipriani.

Ne-Yo performed (he was awesome) in front of a star-studded crowd that included soccer legend Ronaldinho, Dave Winfield, Tiki Barber, Andrew McCutchen and Hoda Kotb.

Oh yeah, Derek's hot model wife, Hannah Jeter, was also there ... and she looked good!

The Turn 2 Foundation helps kids and teens avoid drug and alcohol addiction ... cool to see everyone come together for a good cause.

Larsa Pippen told police she was "scared" of Scottie Pippen during an Oct. 4th argument at their home -- in which the NBA star broke his own cell phone out of frustration ... TMZ Sports has learned.

It's every Tom Brady fan's worst nightmare ... seeing their superstar take a shot to the face. But it was all in good fun as the Pats QB attended a Muhammad Ali charity event Tuesday night.

Brady served as an auctioneer at the TAG Heuer event at Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn ... posing with guests like Evander Holyfield, Henrik Lundqvist and even takin' a punch from fashion designer Iris Apfel.

A unique gold Ali-inspired watch was auctioned off with a pair of autographed boxing gloves and a commemorative medal. No word on how much it went for, but it couldn't have been cheap.

With Antonio Brown leading Brandon Marshall in total receiving yards this season -- we had one question for the Steelers WR Tuesday ... you clear out a space for his Porsche yet???

Remember, Marshall called out Brown back in July -- with the NY Jets superstar saying he'd bet his fancy Porsche against Brown's Rolls-Royce that he'd rack up more yards this season.

Of course, the bet was made back in July -- right after Ryan Fitzpatrick had re-signed and Marshall was super pumped about it. Maybe a little too pumped ...

Going into Week 8, Brown's got 592 receiving yards -- Marshall's got 472.

Brandon's definitely not out of it -- but judging by Brown's smile yesterday, he's confident.

But let's get serious, at this rate ... both guys should just fork over their cars to Julio Jones -- that guy's already got 830 YARDS!

Good luck ...

Don't put him out to pasture just yet ... UFC stud Urijah Faber says he's not 100% sure his next fight is his last -- telling TMZ Sports he's consider coming back if someone really pissed him off.

The California Kid is slated to take on Brad Pickett at UFC Fight Night in December -- and had said it would be his last fight ever ... culminating a solid 13 year career.

But when we pressed ... Faber told us he's definitely not slamming the door on the possibility of getting in the Octagon again.

"I'd never put extreme limits on myself. I would never say, 'this is it, this is it.' I mean, somebody might really piss me off and there might be a golden opportunity. You never know."

"But my mentality right now is I'm gonna have this fight. I'm gonna go out with a bang and make it a meaningful and heartfelt one."

The Cleveland Cavaliers got their NBA Championship rings Tuesday night (6.5 karats, 400 diamonds) -- and you can bet your sweet ass Khloe Kardashian was there to inspect the goods!

Khloe was Tristan Thompson's VIP guest (duh) -- and immediately played "Mine's bigger than yours" with her finger jewelry.

Just because Kim's no longer flossin' on social media doesn't mean Khloe has to follow suit, right?

By the way, the Cavs won -- crushing the Knicks 117 to 88.

#GoodLuckCharm

It's obvious Antonio Gates supports the NY Giants decision to fire Josh Brown -- telling TMZ Sports any player who becomes a distraction has gotta go ... period.

The Chargers superstar's real message here is that players are ALWAYS replaceable and on thin ice -- and if you blow your shot (whether it's domestic violence or anything else) ... too bad, so sad ... see ya.

Good news for Brown ... Gates doesn't think the kicker's career is necessarily over.

Less than 4 months after they finally started banging ... Ciara and Russell Wilson are PREGNANT!!

The Seahawks QB broke the news Tuesday night -- saying, "The Greatest Blessing of All. Forever Grateful. #BabyWilsonOnTheWay."

Of course, the two were super into staying celibate until they got married -- and then immediately bragged about humping like rabbits as soon as they swapped "I Dos" back in July.

Boom. Bang. Pow. Fetus.

Congrats!

Huge night in Cleveland ... with the World Series and the Cleveland Cavs season opener -- but the cops are SUPER PREPARED -- thanks to the Republican National Convention.

We spoke with Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association President Stephen Loomis -- who says "it'll be all hands on deck" to make sure everyone has a safe and a fun time.

"There's nothing we can't handle," Loomis says ... "We're experienced with big crowds since the RNC and the Cavs championship parade, so we're pretty well-versed now."

"Those events taught us lessons on how to deal with big crowds."

Loomis says the downtown area will be crawling with cops -- including a bunch of undercover officers and bike patrol -- but he's optimistic everything will go smoothly.

Here are the first pics of the alleged scumbags who broke into DeMarcus Ware's home during Monday Night Football ... and cops are asking for the public's help to bring the men to justice.

The Denver P.D. has released images of two men caught on surveillance cameras inside Ware's Cherry Creek home ... and officials are offering a $2,000 reward to anyone with info that can crack the case.

It's unclear now what exactly was jacked from Ware's crib ... but what is clear is that cops are SERIOUS about bringing whoever pulled the caper to justice.

SEND IN ROWENGARTNER!!!!

The star of the 1993 classic "Rookie of the Year" says he's READY, WILLING AND ABLE to throw out the first pitch at Game 4 of the World Series ... insisting Cubs fans would love it!!

TMZ Sports spoke with Thomas Ian Nicholas -- who played Chicago Cubs fireballer Henry Rowengartner in the flick -- and he's making his pitch to MLB for the pre-game honor at game 4.

Nicholas says he's already got his ticket -- and he's already thrown out a first pitch at a Cubs game this season -- so, he's perfectly qualified to bring the heat at Wrigley.

BTW -- Thomas is auctioning off a signed Rowengartner jersey to help people with terminal illnesses. Click here for more info.

With Jay Cutler FINALLY medically cleared to play this week -- his wife, Kristin Cavallari, is suggesting that he's returning WAYYY too soon.

The Chicago Bears star missed the past 4 games due to an injury to his right thumb -- and with the Bears struggling at the QB position, Cavallari clearly thinks her husband is rushing back too quickly.

"He's baaaaack! Maybe a couple weeks before he's supposed to be," Cavallari said ... "but good luck this week, babe. Kick some Vikings-ass!"

Question is ... how bad was the injury if Cavallari is suggesting he needed even MORE time to recover?

And that being said ... can we really expect solid QB play from a guy who still may be hurt and facing a killer defense???

Pro poker player Griffin Benger doesn't regret blasting his rival, Will Kassouf, for bullying him and other players ... but admits the pair of aces in his hand gave him courage to do it.

Griffin was on "TMZ Live" to break down the video of his battle at the World Series of Poker -- which went viral Monday. In case you missed it, GB went off on Kassouf, calling him verbally abusive. This all went down with $27.8 million in the pot!

Wanna live like Steph Curry but don't exactly have the jump shot??

Well, now you can buy his Bay Area mansion ... if you've got around $3.7 MILLION to drop!

DeMarcus Ware is on the hunt to tackle the criminals who burglarized his house during the Broncos' MNF game ... and at least part of the break-in was caught on camera ... TMZ Sports has learned.

After the Broncos whooped Brock Osweiler and the Texans Monday night, D-Ware tweeted that his house was broken into during the game.

A rep for Ware tells TMZ Sports that the Pro-Bowler has surveillance cameras on his property ... and that footage will be handed over to the cops to provide the "best possible investigation."

Ware's rep says no one from D.W.'s family was home at the time of the break-in.

"His material and earned possessions mean nothing in comparison to the safety of him and his family. Multiple and extreme measures have been taken to ensure justice is served."

We reached out to Denver police ... who confirmed there is an active investigation ongoing.

Josh Brown doesn't have a job ... 'cause the NY Giants just announced they've cut the kicker.

In a statement, Giants co-owner John Mara said, “We believed we did the right thing at every juncture in our relationship with Josh. Our beliefs, our judgments and our decisions were misguided. We accept that responsibility."

Last week, police in Washington state released documents connected to Brown's '15 domestic violence arrest -- including his journal -- where he acknowledged having abused his ex-wife.

The Giants quickly moved Brown from the active roster to the Commissioner's exempt list ... before completely cutting ties Tuesday.
