SO MUCH WENT wrong for the Los Angeles Lakers in their playoff-opening 117-95 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves that there was no obvious top-line issue to fix. The Wolves lit them up from the perimeter, setting a franchise postseason record with 21 3-pointers. They dominated L.A. in transition points 25-6. And the Lakers’ offense, which ranked a respectable 11th during the regular season, sputtered down the stretch. It mustered just 17 points in the fourth quarter, with Luka Doncic recording just one assist for the game — more than six below his season average — and LeBron James totaling 19…

He also took the time to donate to a…
It has felt as though Conceicao’s fate has been marked for a while now, something that the coach has hit out at a few times during his stint. However, his best game in charge came on Wednesday night: a 3-0 derby win over Inter, to reach the final of the cup. According to the latest from SportMediaset (via X), If the chances of earning a stay were close to zero before, now they are slightly increasing. One reason is the difficulty in getting ‘bigger’ names, such as Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri. At present, the two coaches have put other…
MilanNews have given an update after today’s training session at Milanello in view of Sunday’s trip to face Venezia. With the exception of the long-term absentee Emerson Royal, the head coach Sergio Conceiçao worked with the entire group. That means that the Portuguese coach has also got Kyle Walker back, who returned to full training today with his teammates after the elbow injury that forced him to undergo surgery in recent weeks. It appeared that he could be back in the game on Wednesday in the return leg of the Coppa Italia derby against Inter, but the Englishman was not…
At this point, the Los Angeles Lakers don’t need another superstar. They need a fit at center. With LeBron James defying time, Luka Doncic holding down the fort as the face of the franchise, and Austin Reaves forming into a true star, the Lakers are missing one critical piece: a reliable, under-the-radar center who can anchor the paint. Throughout the 2024–25 season, the Lakers have battled inconsistency in their frontcourt rotation because only Jaxson Hayes, Alex Len, and Maxi Kleber can be somewhat relied on to compete at center. No doubt, the Lakers need a capable center who can run,…

Inzaghi reportedly attempted to shake up his Inter players during today’s training session, following a painful Derby della Madonnina defeat, by gathering the entire squad for an extended team talk — with crucial fixtures now on the horizon. The Nerazzurri suffered a 3-0 loss to Milan in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal, marking their second consecutive defeat — a streak they hadn’t experienced in over two years.
