23 incredible sports photos from Getty Images this week

The sports world makes for a beautiful palette but individual images can get lost in the constant shuffle. Here are the best Getty Images sports photos from this week.

Jahvon Blair of the Georgetown Hoyas reacts after scoring in the first half against the Seton Hall Pirates during the Semifinals of the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden on March 12, 2021, in New York City.

Jahvon Blair of the Georgetown Hoyas had some great reactions throughout the entire Semifinal game, and with it being a close game, it made it even more important to document all of the reactions and celebrations happening. Luckily, I snapped this photo early in the game and knew I had something good, which allowed me to shift my focus to finding celebration or dejection from the Seton Hall Pirates in case Georgetown came out on top – which they did and ended up winning the conference tournament the next day.

Artemi Panarin of the New York Rangers skates into the spotlight during warmups prior to the start of the game against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden on March 13, 2021, in Boston, Massachusetts.

I was given the heads up that Artemi Panarin of the New York Rangers would be returning to play this game and knew it would be important to grab as many photos as I could of him. It was my first NHL game I had covered all season, and the moment the lights went down and the spotlights appeared on ice, I knew I had an opportunity to make a dramatic frame. Panarin had been taking wide laps around the perimeter so I had a good feeling he’d skate into one of the spotlights. I made sure that my camera settings were all set so that he’d be exposed properly, and then just hit the shutter hoping that a frame or two would come into focus, and luckily enough this one did!

Bryson DeChambeau of the United States plays a shot from a bunker on the 14th hole during the third round of THE PLAYERS Championship on THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on March 13, 2021, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

What impresses most people about Bryson DeChambeau’s play is his length off the tee and rightfully so — he is hitting it off the tee to places on the golf course that no one ever thought possible. DeChambeau has a great touch around the green and doesn’t get a lot of credit for it. In this moment, he had to play this shot from the bunker on the 14th hole during The PLAYERS Championship. I was first attracted to the light and how it appeared that DeChambeau was by himself on the golf course. It was also an opportunity to document a different side of his game other than his use of the driver. It has been a lot of fun to see the fans back at tournaments that rush to see DeChambeau pull out the driver.
