Lakers forward Rui Hachimura missed a fifth consecutive game on Saturday due to patellar tendinopathy affecting his left knee, but he’s doing “well,” according to head coach J.J. Redick, who told reporters that Hachimura is going through the return-to-play process and doing more on-court work (Twitter link via Khobi Price of the Southern California News Group). The plan, Redick added on Saturday, is for Hachimura to be reevaluated in about a week. Meanwhile, the Lakers were also without center Jaxson Hayes on Saturday, which is a more significant loss than it would have been earlier in the season. Hayes had…
The Cowboys have taken one rising player off the market just hours before the free agency tampering period officially begins. The club came to terms with safety Markquese Bell, it was announced late Sunday. The promising defensive back and special teams contributor will return to Dallas on a three-year deal worth up to $12 million. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler first reported the news. Clarence Hill Jr. of All DLLS adds that Bell’s contract will include $6 million guaranteed along with a $2.5 million signing bonus and a shot to start. As noted by Patrik Walker of the team website, “the Cowboys…
The Dallas Cowboys know they’ll have to pay Micah Parsons big money soon. The problem? They’re taking their sweet time getting it done. Contract talks have been ongoing, and while there’s no real reason to believe the Cowboys are thinking about trading their star edge rusher, the longer this drags out, the more speculation grows. After all, Myles Garrett just secured a $40 million-per-year deal, and Maxx Crosby landed a massive extension, too. Parsons, widely regarded as one of the best defensive players in the league, is still waiting for his payday. While Cowboys fans have been vocal about their…
Trades don’t happen over night in MLB, so it is important to keep tabs on players that teams have checked up on in the past. The baseball world was abuzz back in January when reports came out that the Baltimore Orioles and Seattle Mariners had discussed a trade involving three-time All-Star starter Luis Castillo. Just because it has been two months since that news broke, this trade is still just as likely. The situations for the two teams have not changed at all. The Orioles still need to bring in another starting pitcher to replace the loss of Corbin Burnes.…
The St. Louis Cardinals haven’t accomplished anything yet this offseason. With Opening Day less than three weeks away, they have made no progress on their proposed “reset.” However, it’s not too late for them to do something and clear a path for some younger players if that is their goal for 2025. They chose to hold onto Ryan Helsley and were unable to trade Nolan Arenado, but right-hander Erick Fedde could be dealt to a contender in need of pitching. The Baltimore Orioles are going to be without Grayson Rodriguez for a while after he went down with elbow…
In a poignant and revealing letter to San Francisco 49ers fans, departing wide receiver Deebo Samuel shared the moment that he’ll never forget about moving to California. Samuel, who was traded to Washington on March 1, grew up far from the West Coast in South Carolina and stayed close to home for college, attending the University of South Carolina. In 2019, he was selected by the 49ers in the second round of the NFL Draft. The life-changing move hit Samuel in an unexpected place: a Bay Area Target. “Cali was different,” Samuel wrote in a Thursday Players’ Tribune article. While…
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Buffalo Bills and quarterback Josh Allen have agreed to a record-breaking six-year, $330 million contract. While the $55 million average annual salary doesn’t surpass Dak Prescott’s yearly earnings, the $250 million in guaranteed money is the most notable aspect of the deal. That guaranteed figure exceeds Prescott’s $231 million by a significant margin. While it’s unlikely the San Francisco 49ers will offer Brock Purdy a deal with an annual salary higher than Prescott’s, Purdy and his agent are likely most focused on Allen’s guaranteed money and how they can leverage it in their own…
To be straight to the point, it was a very bad night for the Bianconeri at the Allianz Stadium. Juve lost 0-4 at home against Atalanta, and it was such a disappointing scoreline for Juve that you would have go back to 1967 to find the last occasion that they last suffered such a home defeat of that margin. It was an opportunity to draw level on points Atalanta in third place, and stay just six point off the top of the table, but instead the evening went in a completely different direction. The match started at a high tempo,…
Juventus are one of several European clubs chasing young Malian midfielder Mahamadou Doumbia who has been one of the best revelations in Belgium this season. The 20-year-old started his career in his home country with a club named Bamako, before being poached by Nordsjaelland, a Danish side that specialises in scouting talent from all over the globe, especially from Africa. After spending a year in Denmark, he was poached by Royal Antwerp who brought him to Belgium in the summer of 2023 for €1m. He only spent a few months with the club’s B-team before earning a swift promotion to…
The Los Angeles Lakers will be without LeBron James for one to two weeks after the NBA’s all-time leading scorer suffered a groin injury in Saturday’s tough loss to the Boston Celtics. Not only did the defending champs snap L.A.’s eight-game winning streak with a 111-101 victory at TD Garden, but the fact that James will now be sidelined for an extended period is even more bad news for the Lakers. Unfortunately for L.A. fans, there’s more. Luka Doncic, who is expected to step up in a major way amid LeBron’s absence, is now also dealing with what appears to…
