The San Diego Wave announced the signing Wednesday of decorated Spanish goalkeeper Sandra Panos.

Panos, 33, arrives from Liga MX Femenil side Club America on a three-year deal through the 2028 NWSL season.

She previously starred at FC Barcelona as a three-time Champions League winner and five-time Liga F champion.

“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Sandra to San Diego,” sporting director and general manager Camille Ashton said. “She is a world-class goalkeeper with experience and leadership at the highest levels of the game, which will be a tremendous addition to our team. Bringing a player of her caliber to the Wave reflects the ambition of our Club as we continue working toward winning a championship, and we’re thrilled to have her join this team.”

Panos allowed just 13 goals in 72 matches across three seasons at Club America from 2024-26.

She earned 54 caps with the Spanish national team from 2012-22, including four starts at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh is encouraged by the progress of Malik Nabers as the star wide receiver continues to work his way back from last year’s season-ending knee injury.

“He’s making really good progress right now. I’m very hopeful that he’ll be back soon,” Harbaugh told reporters on Wednesday.

“Also, understand when you come back from a knee, he’ll be back, and he’ll still be building his way back to his ultimate full-strength self.”

After a Pro Bowl campaign as a 2024 rookie, Nabers sustained a torn right anterior cruciate ligament in Week 4 last fall that ended his season.

“He’s probably maybe 70% through. I don’t know, something like that, 80% through,” Harbaugh said of Nabers’ recovery. “He’s still grinding. It’s going to be a grind when he starts playing again, too, to get back right.”

Nabers, 22, was limited to 18 receptions for 271 yards and two TDs last season after a stellar debut campaign in 2024. He had 109 catches for 1,204 yards and seven scores.

The Giants selected Nabers with the sixth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of LSU.

Collin Morikawa is feeling relaxed — if not exactly well-rested — as he competes at the RBC Canadian Open following a four-week absence from the PGA Tour.

Morikawa, 29, has not played since a T55 finish at the PGA Championship while dealing with a nagging back injury and also becoming a first-time father.

“Just a different perspective on life, I think. I’m just enjoying every day. I can stare at a camera, I can stare at my little one just non-stop and kind of forget about what else is going on,” the World No. 10 told reporters Wednesday at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in Caledon, Ontario.

“I know at the same time I still have a job to do when I’m out here and that’s what’s great kind of being back. But at the same time when I’m out there playing you’re kind of playing a little bit differently, your mind’s in a different spot. I think I’m a lot more positive out there and hopefully I can kind of just allow my body to relax and go out and play golf and enjoy it again.”

Morikawa has received “new dad” tips from many of his friends on the PGA Tour but said the “sleep thing” still got to him and his wife, Katherine Zhu.

“That’s a real thing,” he said. “So, I won’t push it on my wife that I’m getting some great sleep out here. But your body gets used to taking 50-minute naps and learning how to run off that.”

Morikawa won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February and has four other top-10 finishes this season, including a T7 at the Masters.

The two-time major winner’s back injury first flared up during a practice swing at The Players Championship in March, which forced him to withdraw.

“I left the PGA Championship uncomfortable in a way,” he said. “I’ve been grinding this kind of back injury since The Players. It still hadn’t felt that comfortable. So it was nice to take a full reset. And just focus on other things going on in life. I think after that I’ve just been able to relax a little bit more.

“There’s still a trust factor that I’m looking for that I’m trying to find this week, I think, going into tomorrow and into next week (the U.S. Open) essentially. But it’s a lot better of a swing than I’ve been putting on and that’s for me a positive thing.

“I think when the body fully is able to kind of have that last little puzzle piece of fully relaxing, I think the game’s going to be exactly how I want. I still feel like I’m hit great shots when I need to. But just the consistency-wise I think if I can build that into this week it will be a great boost into next week.”

Morikawa is competing in the RBC Canadian Open for the first time since making his professional debut at the event in 2019, when he tied for 14th.
