Sergio Conceicao could make a surprising choice for the game against Napoli, with Tammy Abraham the favourite to start up front at present. Corriere dello Sport writes how at the end of the season Abraham will be under the magnifying glass in terms of his possible permanent signing from Roma. The Englishman was the deputy to Alvaro Morata and now, as an alternative to Santiago Gimenez, he can convince the management. He has not scored in Serie A since November yet has made decisive contributions, such as the assist against Como and the Supercoppa Italiana derby win in Riyadh, an…
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James took accountability for his costly mistake in their loss to the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night. The Lakers were up 115-110 in the final 13 seconds of the game. While L.A. blew an 18-point lead during the contest, everyone thought they were headed for a win considering the advantage they have with very little time left. However, to the surprise of many, the Bulls made back-to-back triples in quick succession. The biggest turning point was when James made an inbounding error, allowing Josh Giddey to steal the ball and eventually pass it to Coby…
Napoli are feeling the heat in the Serie A title race as they prepare to host AC Milan on Sunday, having lost ground since the January sale of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Antonio Conte’s side went into the international break having only won one of their last seven league matches, slipping three points below Inter at the summit. Conte has repeatedly expressed his frustration over Kvaratskhelia’s big-money move to Paris Saint-Germain, where the Georgia winger has quickly nailed down a starting spot. Without the speedy wideman, Napoli have lost top spot to Inter, who are three points clear with nine rounds left.…
The Dallas Mavericks are in the process of figuring out their next home. Their lease at the American Airlines Center expires at the start of the 2030s, and it seems as if the Mavs are intending to build a new arena rather than staying at the AAC. New Mavs CEO Rick Welts joined MavsTV during the broadcast of Tuesday’s game against the New York Knicks, and he declared, “We need to be in a new arena for the 2031-2032 season.” Part of the reason that the Mavericks brought on Welts was his experience with the Golden State Warriors and the…
Manchester City star Kyle Walker has reportedly made a decision on his future at AC Milan after his loan deal ends. The England international made the switch to Serie A during the January transfer window, and all indications suggest that he is prepared to extend his stay beyond this season. According to journalist Daniele Longo of Calciomercatoweb, Milan have the option to sign Walker for €5 million (£4.17/$5.40m), a clause they are eager to trigger. The defender is enjoying life in Italy and is keen to continue his career at Milan rather than return to the Premier League. Walker’s move…
March 28 – Josh Giddey buried a miracle shot from beyond halfcourt at the final buzzer as the Chicago Bulls overturned an 18-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 119-117 on Thursday. The Bulls trailed 115-110 with 12.6 seconds remaining before delivering down the stretch with a wild sequence of plays. Patrick Williams and Coby White hit 3-pointers for Chicago before Los Angeles’ Austin Reaves made a layup with 3.3 seconds left, setting the stage for Giddey’s heroics. Giddey finished with 25 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists for his fifth triple-double of the season, while White scored…
The Los Angeles Lakers were on the verge of victory, holding a comfortable lead late in the game. But in a jaw-dropping final sequence, the Chicago Bulls pulled off an astonishing comeback, scoring nine points in the last 10 seconds. The hero of the night? Josh Giddey, who sank an improbable half-court shot at the buzzer, sending the United Center crowd into a frenzy. The Lakers, who had just secured a dramatic last-second win against the Indiana Pacers the night before, found themselves on the wrong end of an equally shocking moment. This time, LeBron James played a role in…
Luka Doncic and the Los Angeles Lakers captured a win 120-119 Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers in the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Doncic missed a floater to win the game, but it was tapped in by LeBron James just before the buzzer. The Lakers were fueled by Doncic’s 34 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists on 52.4% shooting with six three-pointers made. After the exhilarating road win that halted the Lakers’ three-game losing streak, Los Angeles had a decision to make the next day. Thursday marked the end of guard Jordan Goodwin’s two-way contract, which meant the Lakers were forced to…
A crucial game awaits Milan, as well as Napoli, at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday evening. In the meantime, all players are back at Sergio Conceicao’s disposal after what can be described as a positive international break for the Rossoneri. This and more in this week’s edition of the newsletter. As the international break has come to an end once again, there were some familiar faces at Milanello for Wednesday’s training session. The 15 players that we discussed last week, including the likes of Mike Maignan, Tijjani Reijnders and Christian Pulisic, were all back in training ahead of Sunday’s…
The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Indiana Pacers on a buzzer-beating tip-in from LeBron James on Wednesday night. James was in position to get the clutch bucket because the Pacers were focused on Luka Doncic’s attempted game-winner. And it all started with a Doncic rebound on the other end of the court. As you could hear in the call of the game by ESPN’s Mark Jones, LeBron had leaked out after the rebound, but Luka did not throw a long pass to him. After the game Luka made a surprising admission about not throwing that pass. I mean first of…
