By CORA LEWIS, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Millions of Americans are seeing their credit scores suffer now that the U.S. government has resumed referring missed student loan payments for debt collection. After 90 days of non-payment, student loan servicers report delinquent, or past-due, accounts to major credit bureaus, which use the information to recalculate the borrower’s score. Falling behind on loan payments therefore can affect an individual’s credit rating as severely as filing for personal bankruptcy. A lower credit score makes it harder or more expensive to obtain car loans, mortgages, credit cards, auto insurance and other financial…

When the Edmonton Oilers face elimination in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday night against the Florida Panthers, either Stuart Skinner or Calvin Pickard will lead them on to the ice as their starting goaltender. The defending champion Panthers have no such debate. Two-time Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky has started 63 consecutive playoff games going back to early in the playoffs in 2023, and he is a big reason they are on the cusp of winning a second consecutive title. “He puts so much time into his focus and his ability and then the experience that…
OKLAHOMA CITY — The ratings are down for these NBA Finals, as was expected. Oklahoma City vs. Indiana is a small-market series and the numbers reflect that, with viewership down about 20% from last season and on pace for the poorest TV turnout since the pandemic “bubble” finals in 2020. Don’t blame the Thunder and Pacers for that. It’s been a back-and-forth over the first four games — and now, a best-of-three will decide the NBA title. Game 5 is in Oklahoma City on Monday night, with the Thunder trying to take their first lead of the series and the…
LOS ANGELES — It’s Sho time. After facing hitters in live batting practice just three times in about three weeks, Shohei Ohtani will make his return to the mound Monday against the San Diego Padres. Ohtani will start the game but only pitch an inning or two before right-hander Ben Casparius takes over from there. “He’s ready to pitch in a major-league game,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “He let us know that.” The plan was for Ohtani to throw another live batting practice session this week but Roberts said Ohtani was “getting antsy” and lobbied to turn that live…
ARCADIA — After Santa Anita’s winter-spring season came to an eventful end Sunday, it’s hard to know where to begin. • Umberto Rispoli had a closing day to remember by riding six winners, one short of Hall of Famer Laffit Pincay Jr.’s 1987 record of seven on a single card at 90-year-old Santa Anita. • Doug O’Neill saddled two winners on the final card to reach 3,000 lifetime victories in North America, becoming only the 24th trainer to achieve that milestone. • Antonio Fresu clinched his first outright jockeys title since he began riding in the United States in 2023,…
