While continuing to blow through opponents, even after drastically altering their roster, the Los Angeles Lakers will take a six-game winning streak into a home matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. The Lakers are coming off consecutive victories against the Los Angeles Clippers in games played without starting forward Rui Hachimura and mostly without starting guard Austin Reaves. Hachimura is out with a knee injury, while Reaves played nine minutes of the first game against the Clippers with a calf injury. Neither played in Sunday’s 106-102 victory, with Luka Doncic scoring 29 points with nine assists. “He played…
The Los Angeles Lakers have cruised to a six-game winning streak after their most recent 108-102 victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night, improving their record to 38-21 and moving up to the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. Incredibly, Los Angeles has possessed the NBA’s best defense over that span, boasting a remarkable 104.5 defensive rating across their last six contests while being led on offense by the two-headed monster of Luka Dončić and LeBron James. Seeing that the Lakers’ recent stretch has been a product of their heightened defensive intensity and effort, their general manager…
AC Milan are prepared to sell Mike Maignan to Manchester United this summer after a season of blunders. According to MilanLive, United are ready to make a move for the AC Milan number one this summer. And Maignan is now widely considered to be available for transfer if Milan receive an offer they are happy with. Until recently, Maignan had been considered untouchable at San Siro but he has endured a miserable season – just like the rest of his team, who are currently ninth in Serie A with no chance of making the Champions League. Maignan has made a…

Luka Doncic’s right knee contusion has raised questions ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers’ Tuesday game against the New Orleans Pelicans, casting a shadow over their impressive win streak. The Lakers have been firing on all cylinders, thanks in large part to the dynamic duo of LeBron James and Doncic. After securing their sixth straight win on Sunday with a 108-102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, they are primed for a challenging matchup against Zion Williamson and the Pelicans on Tuesday. However, injury concerns are mounting. During Sunday’s win, Doncic was briefly sidelined after taking a knee to his…
AC Milan disappointed in their last two games against Torino and Bologna, and unfortunately, it was no different against Lazio where the Rossoneri were again beaten. Lazio started the game more convincingly and were by far the better team in the first half, creating plenty of chances and that paid off in the 28th minute when Zaccagni opened the scoring. As has become a commodity, there was no immediate reaction from Milan and eventually things just got worse and worse with Strahinja Pavlovic earning himself a red card in the 67th minute. It was looking very bad for the Rossoneri…
Outside of perhaps the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Los Angeles Lakers are the NBA’s hottest team. They currently have a six-game winning streak and have won 18 of their last 22 games. With a 38-21 record, they hold second place in the Western Conference, and they haven’t even scratched the surface of their offensive potential with Luka Doncic. Still, they could use a little more depth, especially at the center and shooting guard positions, if they are to have a real shot at winning the NBA championship this season. They recently called up Jordan Goodwin, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound guard from the…
Multiple sources claim Milan won’t sack Sergio Conceiçao for now, but club legend Mauro Tassotti could replace the Portuguese tactician in the final part of the season ‘if the situation were to deteriorate.’ Milan have lost three consecutive Serie A games, and Sunday’s home loss to Lazio saw them slip to ninth place, nine points below the Biancocelesti in fourth. Multiple reputable sources in Italy, including Sky Sport Italia and Corriere della Sera, claim the Milan management is not considering sacking Conceiçao, although the coach’s position isn’t safe anyway. Corriere della Sera adds that Conceiçao clearly remains under scrutiny as…
Tijjani Reijnders is happy to have signed a new deal with AC Milan. The midfielder has extended his deal from 2028 to 2030. “It’s a big compliment, I am very proud to renew my contract. Milan feels like a family, I am looking forward to the next couple of seasons,” Reijnders told reporters. “That’s why I signed. It feels like my second home and I am very happy.” On Milan’s current form, the midfielder also admitted: “It’s a difficult time at the moment, it will be better, we will be stronger, we have to believe it will work out in…
It’s been fodder for memes, the cold open on “Saturday Night Live” and the predictable polarizing political talking points, but last week’s Oval Office spectacle with President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky left one Lakers player with a small sense of hope among a continued sense of grief. Reserve center Alex Len, one of two Ukrainian players active in the NBA, said he’s seen public support for his country’s fight against Russia wane since the war’s first days, and he’s hoping the news coverage of the argument between America’s and Ukraine’s political leaders can be…
