Tuesday’s reports claim that Milan and Roma will honour an informal agreement surrounding Tammy Abraham and Alexis Saelemaekers, who are both out on loan from one club to the other, despite ongoing doubts about the management structure for both sides. At the end of the summer transfer window, Abraham joined Milan on loan from Roma, while Saelemaekers joined Roma on loan from Milan. Both players moved on straight loan deals without formal buy options included in either deal. Despite the fact that there is no formal agreement for either player to be bought or sold permanently, Tuesday’s reports from Corriere…
One of the missions facing AC Milan in this season finale is to get Santiago Gimenez firing again, after his red-hot start evaporated. As La Gazzetta dello Sport recall, Gimenez introduced himself to the Milan fans with an assist on his debut in the Coppa Italia, a goal on his debut in the league and another in his first start in Serie A at San Siro. The goals: a nice curling shot in Empoli, with the striker advancing and finishing from just inside the area, then a header on an assist from Leao two centimetres from the goal line. The…
As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) report this morning, Leao scored a goal and added an assist in the 4-0 rout of Udinese to send a message to Milan, for the present and for the future. Regardless of who will be the sporting director and head coach, he wished to remain. In the meantime, however, he aims to be a protagonist with his plays to drag the team to victory of the second trophy of 2024-25, the Coppa Italia, and to keep the Rossoneri in Europe next season as well. Since wearing the Milan shirt, Leao had never encountered…
The Dallas Mavericks fans (or Luka Doncic fans?) knew what they would see on April 9. Still, it hit hard when the moment actually came- Luka in a Purple and gold #77 instead of their familiar blue and white, that too on their home arena, the American Airlines Center. That seemed to reignite the pain of what they had lost. It reached its tipping point when the jumbotron showed their beloved superstar with his eyes swelled up and lips quivering during the tribute video. That pain quickly turned into anger, and the initial “Luka! Luka!” chants changed to something that…
For several years after his departure, Arsenal were continually told – even in the most primitive ages of modern media – that they needed to sign a true successor to Patrick Vieira. The long-serving midfielder and captain chose to leave only a year after the Gunners’ famous ‘Invincibles’ season, taking himself to a Juventus side on the brink of the ‘Calciopoli’ scandal which would lead to their relegation. The problem with that tale is twofold. Firstly, it actually ignores that Arsenal’s prince waiting to take the midfield throne, a then-teenage Cesc Fabregas, took Vieira for a walk when the north…
The Golden State Warriors’ overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers has paved the way for one of the most compelling matchups in the opening round of the NBA Playoffs: the No. 3 seed Los Angeles Lakers vs. the No. 6 seed Minnesota Timberwolves. Tied 2-2 in their regular season series, the two teams are set to square off in a best-of-seven showdown beginning April 19 at Crypto.com Arena. The series will feature a marquee duel between Timberwolves rising star Anthony Edwards and Lakers superstars LeBron James and Luka Doncic. Adding fuel to the fire, a resurfaced clip from Netflix’s…
The Los Angeles Lakers wrapped up their regular season on Sunday with a 50–32 record, securing the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. With the playoff matchups now set, the Lakers will host the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 on Saturday night. The game will mark Luka Doncic’s first playoff appearance since last season’s NBA Finals run with the Dallas Mavericks—and his first postseason game as a Laker. Ahead of the playoffs, the NBA released some surprising regular season data, revealing that both LeBron James and Doncic ranked in the top three for most-viewed players across social media. James…
For the first time since the 2010-11 season, the Los Angeles Lakers are hosting a playoff series. They technically earned home-court advantage in 2019-20, but because of COVID, they played that entire playoff run in Orlando. On Saturday night, the three-seed Lakers will face off against the six-seed Minnesota Timberwolves – a matchup Lakers fans should like, with a couple disclaimers. The NBA league office will probably like this series quite a bit, too, as Anthony Edwards will get to bring his star power to a Lakers playoffs stage that features LeBron James and Luka Doncic. Austin Reaves should probably…
With the regular season nearly completed, it is almost time to turn the page to the 2025 edition of the NBA Playoffs. The Los Angeles Lakers have high hopes after acquiring Luka Doncic via a blockbuster trade in February, but a warning has been given to him as well as LeBron James An anonymous NBA scout highlighted a problem within the Lakers that James or Doncic will not be able to fix on their own. Luka has to guard somebody, and you can wear him down,” the scout said via ESPN. “When LeBron is on the weak side, he switches…
The Miami Heat were able to secure a Play-In Tournament berth as the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference with a 37-45 record, but their front office could already be looking past their upcoming matchup with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday and focusing solely on their strategy for the offseason. While things might look bleak in the present, it’s possible for the franchise to swing a trade that would completely change their immediate future. In fact, one NBA veteran suggested that the Heat should partake in trade negotiations with a fierce rival in the Milwaukee Bucks. Though the Bucks…
