The Los Angeles Lakers’ failed trade for Mark Williams may have faded from the headlines, but its ripple effects continue to shape the team’s offseason—and no one feels that more than rookie Dalton Knecht. Knecht, who was nearly dealt to the Charlotte Hornets in a package that included Cam Reddish and future picks, remains on the roster after the Hornets’ big man failed a physical. Yet, his stay in Los Angeles may be short-lived. The February 6 trade that would have sent Knecht, Reddish, and a 2031 first-round pick to Charlotte for center Mark Williams fell apart when Williams didn’t…
The Los Angeles Lakers would love for their 40-year-old superstar forward to return to the NBA next season and spend his 23rd campaign with the Lake Show. However, if the future Hall of Famer elects to complete another season, it would be foolish to rule out the possibility of the four-time NBA champion joining another franchise to end his career. Ashley Nicole Moss believes LeBron James, who has a $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 campaign, could join Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors this summer. “This is for the fans, this is for the NBA fans,” Moss…
Luka Doncic’s return to American Airlines Center, his old stomping grounds before the Dallas Mavericks traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers three months ago, in April was an emotional game. The Lakers emerged victorious by a final score of 112-97, and Doncic dropped 45 points on 16-of-28 overall shooting and 7-of-10 from 3-point range, eight rebounds, six assists and four steals. The game also got outstanding ratings. It was reportedly the most-watched NBA game on ESPN to that point of the season, excluding Christmas Day, as well as the most-watched television program that day across several key demographic groups.…
AC Milan have a heap of exciting young players in the ranks currently, and one of the leading names is Christian Comotto, who has starred for the Primavera this season. Francesco Camarda is the big focus of everyone at Milan, and in fairness, outside of the club too. However, he is not the only starlet, far from it. You only need to look at the Primavera to find the other gem of this set-up, and he is another from 2008. As Milan News write, the Rossoneri have ‘another pearl’ on their hands in the form of Comotto, and he, like…
In a fascinating precursor to next week’s cup final, AC Milan and Bologna will clash in Serie A’s Friday night kickoff, with the visitors needing maximum points at San Siro. While Milan’s league race is all but run, as they lie only ninth in the table, the Rossoblu are still fighting for a precious top-four finish. Match preview Benefiting from a new tactical system that has brought four wins from five matches, Milan are clearly intent on finishing their chaotic campaign with a flourish. The Rossoneri sacked Paulo Fonseca in mid-season, before Sergio Conceicao immediately led them to victory in…
San Siro is the name of the home pitch shared by Inter Milan and AC Milan, two leading football clubs in Italy. On Tuesday night, the stadium was virtually on fire, a week after the first leg of the Champions League semifinals showdown between Inter and Barca at the Olympic Stadium in Spain, which ended, 3-3. The Spain encounter was a foretaste of what to come in Italy. The match lived up to its billing. From the start to the end, there was no dull moment. By the 90th minute, the normal regulation time, Barca were leading 3-2. At that…
Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic expected to play his entire NBA career with the Dallas Mavericks. Debuting for Dallas as a 19-year-old rookie in 2018, Doncic quickly emerged into the face of the franchise. Across seven seasons in Dallas, the Slovenian guard averaged 28.6 points, making five All-NBA teams and winning a scoring title. In addition to his NBA superstardom, Doncic is also incredibly accomplished internationally. Making appearances for the Slovenian National Team since 2017, Doncic has averaged 23.6 points, 8.4 rebounds and 7.5 assists in those contests (via FIBA). On Wednesday, one of Doncic’s former Slovenian teammates announced…
Eyes are already cast on new sporting director Andrea Berta as the highly-rated chief gears up for his debut transfer window at N5 Mikel Arteta and the Gunners lost out on the Premier League title to Liverpool by some distance this season, and a few critics have blamed their failed challenge on Arsenal’s lack of a potent centre-forward Gabriel Jesus enjoyed a real purple patch of form before his season-ending ACL injury, and Kai Havertz has put in some excellent displays in a makeshift striker role. However, neither man is seen as a guaranteed 20-plus goals-per-season style of forward for…
The NBA season ended early for Luka Doncic after the Los Angeles Lakers ended their playoff run by losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 26-year-old, who was at the center of attention after being traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers, has now shared a retirement post from home with the name of Luka Rupnik. The post is, however, not about his own retirement but that of his Slovenian close friend Luka Rupnik, who had mentioned his name in his long retirement post. But this was enough to leave many confused Luka Rupnik is a basketball player…
