Sports to watch on Chicago TV this weekend

June 02--* Friday

"2 Fists Up: We Gon Be Alright," 5 p.m. hour of "SportsCenter," ESPN: Spike Lee's documentary recaps University of Missouri students' efforts to oust president Tim Wolfe -- including Tigers football players threatening to boycott a game -- over racism on campus.

White Sox at Tigers, 6:10 p.m., CSN: Would be nice to have Austin Jackson (turf toe) back against his old team.

Mystics at Sky, 7:30 p.m., WCIU-26.2: Second of a home-and-home ... but first in our hearts.

--Saturday

"Game Changers With Kevin Frazier: Pride of the Panthers," 11:30 a.m., CBS-2: Profiles on Cam Newton and Eric Bledsoe and a feature on video game developers using NFL playbooks.

Boxing: Orlando Salido vs. Francisco Vargas, 9:30 p.m., HBO: Salido's nickname is "Siri," which probably happened when he asked his smartphone to find him a nickname.

--Sunday

French Open men's final, 8 a.m., NBC-5: It's been a wet mess at Roland Garros and more rain's predicted. Finishing a tennis match in France right now is like trying to get in a baseball game in Chicago.

Women's friendly: USA vs. Japan, noon, ESPN2: Second leg of a two-game rematch between World Cup finalists. Pro tip for Team USA: If you get to celebrate a win, call an Uber afterward.

P Men's Gymnastics Championships, 1 p.m., NBC-5: Danell Leyva will compete despite a recent dog bite, just as he did at the 2012 American Cup after one of his three bulldogs chomped on his ear. He actually won that meet, so maybe dog bites are lucky.

NBA Finals, Game 2: Cavaliers at Warriors, 7 p.m., ABC-7: Otherwise titled "Everybody Loves Draymond."
