Malik Nabers wasn't letting a torn ACL keep him from seeing his favorite rapper, NBA YoungBoy ... the injured NY Giants star using crutches, and rocking a knee brace, pulled up to his concert in New Jersey!

The Pro Bowl wideout was spotted at the Prudential Center in Newark Monday night, where the "Outside Today" artist put on a show for his MASA (Make America Slime Again) Tour.

Nabers -- the 6th overall pick on the 2024 NFL Draft -- shared a pic on his Instagram story with YoungBoy after gifting him a signed No. 1 Giants jersey.

Jason Taylor had folks worried the Hall of Famer was caught in a "Coldplay kiss cam" moment when the cameras spotted him with a beautiful woman at "Monday Night Football" ... but the good news?? They're married!!

The Miami Dolphins great was shown on the ESPN broadcast in the fourth quarter of the 27-21 win over the New York Jets ... and at first glance, it looked like the stunning lady was scrambling to get out of the shot -- as if the two weren't supposed to be on national television together.

It turns out it was NOT what it looked like at all ... 'cause 51-year-old Jason and Monica Taylor, 31, have been hubby and wifey since 2020.

9:15 AM PT -- Tyreek Hill just released a video statement from his hospital bed ... thanking his fans and asking for prayers as he gets set for surgery.

"I love you guys so much," he said. "Hope to see you soon."

Tyreek Hill was rushed to the hospital on Monday night ... after he sustained a significant knee injury during the Dolphins' game against the Jets.

The gruesome scene unfolded in the third quarter of the "Monday Night Football" matchup ... after Hill caught a pass from Tua Tagovailoa.

As the receiver was being tackled out of bounds, he landed awkwardly on his leg -- and very clearly dislocated his knee in the process.

50 Cent has redeemed himself after his infamous 2014 first pitch at a baseball game ... by re-doing the throw at the mound at a Savannah Bananas baseball game while debuting a drink in the team's honor.

The New York rapper got his do-over over the weekend when he pulled up to the sold-out Bananas game at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas, performing his iconic single, "In Da Club."

After gettin' the crowd lit, 50 Cent threw the first pitch to kick off their game against the Texas Tailgaters ... and this time, it actually looked like he knew what he was doing.

New court documents TMZ Sports has obtained show NBA star P.J. Washington has been ordered to pay Brittany Renner $5,500 a month in child support.

According to the docs, Washington was required to make the payments as part of a consent order issued in Mecklenburg County, N.C., back in November 2024.

The docs state Washington additionally was ordered to pay a lump sum of $130,000 to satisfy "any and all existing child support accruing prior to the entry of this consent order, as well as for [Renner's] attorney's fees."

Shaquille O'Neal (momentarily) came out of retirement on Monday ... and the Big Fella proved he's still got it, knocking down his patented drop step and baby hook before being swarmed by a gymnasium full of kids!

The 52-year-old, 4x NBA MVP surprised a bunch of kids at Pier 36 in New York City earlier today ... where he briefly played one-on-one with George "The Messiah" Papoutsis, an infamous NYC hooper.

Papoutsis started with the ball, and after attempting to shake Shaq, settled for a mid-range jump shot ... which he bricked.

O'Neal then went to work, backing George down, before netting the baby hook ... sending the kids into a frenzy.

As for the event ... it was all to celebrate the launch of the basketball legend's newest Hershey candy, Shaq-a-licious XL Gummies in Sneaker Shapes.

Of course, O'Neal famously rocked size 22 kicks ... so naturally it made sense for the Hall of Famer and the candy giant to make gummy sneakers.

A few weeks ago, Babcock welcomed Shaq onto the TMZ Sports TV show (airs weeknights on FS1), where O'Neal talked about the enormously successful partnership.

Kawhi Leonard isn't worried about the NBA's investigation into an alleged no-show endorsement deal with Aspiration -- the Clippers superstar claims he did nothing wrong ... adding he's not one to entertain any "conspiracies, clickbait analysts or journalism" that alleges otherwise.

The Klaw met with reporters at media day on Monday ... and right off the bat, he was asked about Pablo Torre's coverage of a multi-million deal between the 34-year-old and a now-bankrupt team sponsor that led to salary cap circumvention speculation.

Leonard said it's "easy" for him to focus on the season ahead amid all the chatter ... and since he's confident the truth is on his side, he welcomes the league probe.

Bad Bunny had plenty to celebrate this weekend -- spotted out partying at his own Miami restaurant just hours before being announced as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime performer.

The superstar hit up Gekkō, the trendy Brickell steakhouse he co-owns with nightlife mogul David Grutman, on Friday night. He turned the dining room into a scene straight out of one of his music videos!

We're told Bunny was all smiles as he strolled through the packed restaurant ... chatting with fans, posing for selfies, and soaking in the love from stunned diners. At one point, the entire room stood up to catch a glimpse of him, creating a full-on frenzy inside the hotspot.

For a few people, Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl halftime is a nightmare come to life -- and none are louder than sports columnist Jason Whitlock, who’s calling the NFL’s pick straight-up "demonic" and pledging to fight it every step of the way.

Jason went full force on "TMZ Live" Monday, claiming BB’s Super Bowl slot is anti-Trump trolling cooked up by Gavin Newsom and other Democratic California politicians ... all in response to the pro-Christian memorial for Charlie Kirk 2 weeks ago.

Watch the full clip -- Harvey and Charles push back on Jason’s demonic claim, asking if Morgan Wallen’s drinking and chair-throwing would earn the same label if he were performing instead.

Jay Cutler is back behind bars ... TMZ Sports has learned he reported to a Tennessee jail on Monday to begin serving his DUI sentence.

Records we've obtained show the ex-NFL star was booked into Williamson County Jail at around 8 AM PT ... and the former quarterback is now expected to remain there until Friday.

Cutler, of course, was ordered to spend four days in the slammer last month ... after he pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor DUI.

LeBron James claims he isn't going to continue his NBA career just to have the chance to play with both of his sons -- the Lakers superstar revealed his retirement plans don't revolve around Bryce.

The 21-time All-Star discussed his basketball future at media day a few minutes ago ... when a reporter asked James if he'd hold out on retiring to have a chance to play alongside his second-oldest kid, who's gearing up for his freshman year with the University of Arizona basketball team this fall.

"I'm not sitting here ... no, I'm not waiting on Bryce," James laughed.

A Florida A&M University band announcer sparked outrage after body-shaming Alabama State dancers while on the mic at Saturday's game ... joking the performers were sponsors of Ozempic -- and now, the school is apologizing.

The cruel joke occurred at halftime of the FAMU and ASU game at the Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida, on Saturday ... as ASU's Honey Beez finished their performance.

Marching 100 announcer Joe Bullard then went on the mic to roast the Beez ... and while he was trying to get a laugh, not everyone found it funny.

John Mara, the longtime owner of the New York Giants, just announced he was diagnosed with cancer ... while vowing to fight like hell and beat the disease.

70-year-old Mara, who also serves as president and CEO of the organization, did not specify which form of cancer he's battling.

"I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and have been following the treatment plan recommended by an outstanding team of doctors," Mara said in a statement released by Big Blue.

Donovan Mitchell is opening up on his recent engagement to Coco Jones ... telling reporters being able to call the singer his future wife is a true "blessing."

The Cleveland Cavaliers superstar was asked about his now-fiancée during team media day ... and he couldn't help but gush about what makes her such a special partner.

"Man, that’s my dog. I love her to death. She’s amazing. She’s an amazing human being. She brings me peace."

Giants fans' morale ain't the only thing surging after Jaxson Dart's first career start -- jersey sales are, too -- 'cause the 22-year-old rookie signal caller owns the NFL's most popular jersey!

Fanatics -- the official e-commerce partner of the National Football League -- tells us sales for Dart's #6 Big Blue jersey went through the roof after Jaxson led the NYG to their first win of the season against the previously undefeated (2-0) Chargers on Sunday.

The surge meant Dart outsold perennial superstars like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen.

In fact, Fanatics says they sold more Dart jerseys on Sunday than on any day since he was drafted with the 25th overall pick in April.

Bad Bunny says he's not just performing at the Super Bowl LX halftime show for himself ... he's doing it for his culture.

The singer-songwriter chatted with Apple Music’s Zane and Ebro to talk about the exciting announcement made last night during Sunday Night Football between the Packers and the Cowboys.

Check out the clip ... Bad Bunny says he's relieved the news is out because he had to keep the secret under wraps for so long ... and it's like a weight has been lifted.
