It was Oct. 22 in Boston — ring night for the defending champion Celtics against the revamped rival New York Knicks — and Jayson Tatum had just drilled a wide-open 3-pointer from the right wing on the game’s first play. Over the next 11:48 of game time, Boston hit nine more 3s: Al Horford from the wing. Derrick White from the corner. Jaylen Brown from the wing. Tatum again, and again, and again. Jrue Holiday. Sam Hauser. And finally, Payton Pritchard with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first quarter (because, of course he did). It was the first…
Despite Theo Hernandez seemingly heading towards an exit, AC Milan are refusing to hang the Frenchman out to dry, on several levels. In a time where Milan have often been separated on so many levels, it is a time for the club to come together. This season, there has been blame placed on every department, but the stars have regularly been given the most stick. After the Champions League elimination this was, again, the case, especially after the mistakes from Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez. However, the club views it as just that – mistakes. For this reason, Calciomercato.com state…

With potential big sales, changes in the management and possible farewells in attack, another red-hot summer awaits. Our colleagues at SempreMilan.it provide the latest news.

The Los Angeles Lakers made a blockbuster move before the trade deadline, acquiring Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in hopes of boosting their championship aspirations. However, the team has struggled to find its rhythm since his arrival, with the latest setback being a disappointing 100-97 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. Doncic has yet to reach his usual elite level with the Purple and Gold. Through three games, he is averaging just 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 5.3 assists—a significant drop-off for the reigning NBA scoring champion. His shooting efficiency has also been uncharacteristically poor, hitting just…
Kyle Walker is expected to be ruled out of Milan’s upcoming Serie A match against Torino, and could also miss the rearranged fixture against Bologna midweek, which leaves Sergio Conceicao with a minor injury problem at right-back. Walker has not been involved in Milan training over the last two days. He played the full 90 minutes in the disastrous Champions League exit against Feyenoord midweek, but reports in the following days suggest that he played while dealing with a minor muscular issue. According to Friday’s reports, the England international has not gone in for medical tests, as Milan do not…
Theo Herndez’s departure is becoming more and more likely as the days pass, and AC Milan are searching for possibilities to replace him. It is nothing new for cycles to come to an end in football, and Theo is the latest in a long line of players to leave Milan. After all, it has happened before and it will happen again. However, there will be an element of sadness to the Frenchman’s departure when it does happen. As things stand, there is a chance that he could remain at the club next season and leave as a free agent in…
Milan has to deal with a new injury, this time affecting Kyle Walker after the drawn match against Feyenoord at San Siro, which sealed the Rossoneri’s elimination from the Champions League. Adding insult to injury, Sergio Conceição’s team saw their European journey come to an end in the Champions League playoffs. The draw at San Siro, combined with the first-leg defeat in the Netherlands, put an end to the Devil’s international ambitions. It also resulted in Walker’s injury, he arrived from Manchester City in January and quickly became a key part of the Portuguese coach’s project. The physical setback forces…
This is Jayson Tatum’s final Infinity Stone. One of my long-time criticisms of Tatum is that, while great, he has lacked an ability to truly manipulate a basketball game. He has always been capable of triple-doubles, but he had never been the kind of creator that made me think one was always around the corner. It’s why Tatum has always been in the MVP conversation, but never one of the headliners. It’s why guys like Luka Doncic have been ahead of him, despite Tatum’s ability to defend and rebound on teams consistently better than Dallas. The example I have always…
AC Milan are very much aware that Alex Jimenez could already move back to Real Madrid, but a new hope has emerged this afternoon. The Spaniard has progressed massively in the past 18 months, and Milan see the defender as a key part of their future. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been very vocal in his backing of the talent, and with his versatility, he has the range to be a stalwart for years to come. However, this has a negative side – Real are continuing to keep an eye on the defender because of his sharp rise. In fact, Marca (via…
Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio has confirmed that the Nerazzurri had the opportunity to sign Joao Felix in the winter transfer window, but he clarified that the proposal came from the player’s agent and was ultimately turned down by the club. The Portuguese forward joined Milan on loan from Chelsea in January and recently revealed that his agent, Jorge Mendes, told him that city rivals Inter were also interested in him. However, this version of events contradicts Ausilio’s account, as he stated that the Nerazzurri were contacted by the agents of Joao Felix and Marco Asensio, who were offering deals…
