Former NBA point guard Raymond Felton has claimed that the WNBA should give its Rookie of the Year award to both, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, as a way to honor their contributions to the league.

She’s playing amazing basketball,’ Felton said via Tidal League. ‘Angel Reese is breaking records… If [the ROTY race] is…
Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever expresses her enthusiasm and support for squad USA at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, despite not being chosen for the US women’s basketball squad. “I watched USA Women yesterday. That was fun. I watched USA men. I try to watch as much as I can,” Clark said. “Obviously, the perfect time is during practice with the time change in Paris, so maybe Christie [Sides] should cancel practice so I can watch more of the Olympics.” Team USA women’s basketball is set to face Belgium on August 1 in their second matchup of the…

AC Milan hopes to finalize a deal with Tottenham to recruit Emerson Royal today, according to Gazzetta dello Sport via SportWitness. The Brazilian full-back is almost signed by the Italian powerhouses, who have been trying really hard to acquire him. Emerson joined Tottenham in 2021 after leaving Barcelona, and he played a crucial role in the team’s early years. However, it appears that he has descended in Ange Postecoglou’s hierarchy. Although he played in a few games the previous season, the team’s injury crisis kept him from playing for much of the time. Tottenham has been trying to get him…

AC Milan star Rafael Leao says he prefers Christian Pulisic to play as an attacking midfielder for the Italian side, rather than on the wing. The United States international joined the Serie A side from Chelsea last summer and enjoyed a fruitful debut season, scoring 12 goals and setting up a further eight in 36 league appearances as Milan finished second to city rivals Inter. Portugal winger Leao was not surprised by the impact the 25-year-old had on his arrival at San Siro, revealing that he sent a message to the ex-Borussia Dortmund star before the season started. “I knew…
The moment wasn’t too big for Jackson Holliday. The 20-year-old has dreamt about delivering critical hits in baseball games since he was a toddler, and his disappointing debut stint in MLB didn’t even come close to shattering his confidence. From the moment Holliday connected with this particular pitch on Wednesday afternoon, he knew his first big league home run — a massive grand slam — was about to be logged in the record books. “That’s about as best as I can hit a ball,” said the Orioles’ second baseman and son of seven-time All-Star outfielder Matt Holliday. “That’s about all I…
Head coach Paulo Fonseca made some changes to the starting line-up that played in New York against Manchester City, with Malick Thiaw coming in for Matteo Gabbia, Mattia Liberali occupying the playmaker role and Marco Nasti up front. Milan made a very positive start to the game and could have taken the lead inside four minutes through Samuel Chukwueze. A loose pass inside the Real Madrid box fell to the Nigerian winger, whose low shot was well saved by Courtois from a central position. Three minutes later, another chance was spurned by the Rossoneri. This time a flowing attack saw…
As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, Milan’s one summer signing so far is Alvaro Morata and he will take up Olivier Giroud’s legacy, while Strahinja Pavlovic should be the next to arrive from Red Bull Salzburg to replace Simon Kjaer in the squad, at least numerically. There has been a lot of talk about Emerson Royal who seems close, Youssouf Fofana whose situation has descended into a saga, and Lazar Samardzic who feels like a ‘cherry on the cake’ signing at the moment, but Fonseca’s mission is to raise the levels of existing assets too. There is a big…
