AC Milan have been linked with a move for Athletic Club midfielder Mikel Jauregiza by the Spanish press in view of the summer window. Diario AS begin a report by recalling Ernesto Valverde’s words after Jauregiza’s performance against Rayo Vallecano: “He’s become a key player for us thanks to his hard work and effort. He played 90 minutes on Thursday, 90 today… he’s one of the most important players we have in the team right now.” Jauregizar, who is already an U21 international for Spain, has the second-highest ball recovery number in LaLiga this season with 54, behind only Barçelona…
Verno and Jacoby break down tonight’s play-in games, starting with the Hawks-Magic matchup (01:44) and the Grizzlies-Warriors matchup (07:14). They then discuss tomorrow’s play-in matchups before debating the best possible scenarios that could come out of the play-in (16:32). Next, they get into the news of David Griffin’s firing in New Orleans (30:15) and Mike Budenholzer’s firing in Phoenix (36:37).

Finally, the guys briefly preview the playoff matchups…
Much of the conversation in Memphis has been centered around the Grizzlies’ noticeable decline since the All-Star break that took place in mid-February. Since returning from the All-Star break, the Grizzlies went 12-16 over their final 28 games of the regular season. The late-season slide triggered Memphis to make major changes, including the March 28 firing of head coach Taylor Jenkins, in an effort to recapture the form that was made earlier in the year. Before the break, the Grizzlies held a 36-18 record and sat as the No. 2 seed in the West. Now, led by core players like…
In their regular-season finale on Sunday, the Golden State Warriors fell to the LA Clippers in possibly the most important game of the season, and have now fallen into the play-in tournament as a result. The Warriors now have to face the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, as the winner punches their ticket into the playoffs, while the loser is sent to a win-or-go-home game against the Sacramento Kings or Dallas Mavericks. Warriors superstar Steph Curry is coming off an incredible performance in Sunday’s loss, dropping 36 points on 10-20 shooting from the field and 7-12 from three-point range. Curry…
Los Angeles may consider acquiring a plummeting Golden State Warriors guard preparing for the No. 7 vs No. 8 Western Conference Play-In contest. Buddy Hield was a long-range extraordinaire for the Warriors early in the year. The former 76ers contributor shot 50% from three in October and 41.4% from three in November. However, Hield’s efficiency hasn’t been as dependable lately, which explains why Sir Charles in Charge’s Michael Saenz believes the Oklahoma product could get traded this summer. “Since the arrival of Jimmy Butler, the Warriors have looked like a completely different team – one that is prepared to make…
The Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies are scheduled to meet in the 2025 NBA Play-In Tournament at Chase Center on Tuesday, with tipoff at 10:00PM ET. Based on updated simulations and today’s injury news, Dimers’ advanced NBA model (see Dimers Pro for full access) projects the Warriors as the most likely winner of today’s game. “Our team has analyzed the latest data and conducted 10,000 simulations for Tuesday’s Memphis-Golden State game,” said Damien Souness from Dimers. “By incorporating recent updates and various factors, our prediction shows the Warriors with a win probability of 70%, compared to 30% for the…
The NBA Clutch Player of the Year has only been handed out twice, making it the league’s newest honor. Miami Heat All-Star Tyler Herro has been nominated by head coaches as his team’s top candidate. De’Aaron Fox won the inaugural award when he was with the Sacramento Kings in 2022-23, while Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry was last season’s honoree. The award is voted on by media after coaches nominate candidates, with the winner receiving the Jerry West Trophy. Herro averaged a career-best 23.9 points and was named to the All-Star team for the first time. He played in…
The Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat will be hoping to keep their NBA Playoff hopes alive when they face off in the play-in tournament at the United Center on Thursday. The Bulls ended the regular season with a record of 39-43 and in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, while the Heat finished in 10th, two games behind them on 34-45. A spot in the play-in tournament final round against either the Atlanta Hawks or Orlando Magic awaits the winner of this match, while the loser will be eliminated from the postseason. The Chicago Bulls will be hoping that it…
Back when Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was just getting his career going in Cleveland in the mid-2000s, Steve Nash and Mike D’Antoni were making the Phoenix Suns the NBA’s most exciting team. D’Antoni came over to Phoenix from Italy with a new, innovative offense and Nash was the perfect point guard to run it, immediately turning the Suns into a championship contender and winning back-to-back MVPs in 2005 and 2006. The Suns’ style of play was unheard of at the time, focusing far more on up-tempo, spread out basketball with a lot of 3-pointers and ball movement. Though…
Inter and Milan’s attempts to purchase the San Siro land has hit another problem, as an appeal is lodged to block the sale. The two clubs have been fighting for a decade to get a new stadium built in what is effectively now the car park of the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, after which they can tear down the existing structure and repurpose it. After a series of proposed projects were considered and rejected by the local authorities, they went back to Plan A, with the council seemingly in favour of the sale. However, there are still people trying to block…
