Stick around mind adjusted for sport (9)
I believe the answer is:
badminton
'sport' is the definition.
(badminton is a kind of sport)
'stick around mind adjusted' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'baton' (term for a stick or staff).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'adjusted' is an anagram indicator.
'mind' is an anagram of 'dmin'.
'baton' placed around 'dmin' is 'BADMINTON'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for badminton that I've seen before include "Racquet sport" , "Game with shuttlecocks" , "Game played with rackets" , "in which rackets are involved" , "court action" .)
