LeBron James’ LA Lakers secured their first preseason victory on Thursday, defeating their ex-coach Darvin Ham’s Milwaukee Bucks 107-102 at Fiserv Forum. Afterward, one of James’ friends comically trolled Bucks coach Doc Rivers and Ham, his lead assistant. Ham has been the subject of criticism since LA fired him in early May and replaced him with rookie coach JJ Redick. Several Lakers players have seemingly taken subtle shots at Ham’s coaching schemes, with reports emerging that he lost the veteran squad’s locker room last season. Conversely, players have praised Redick for his preparation and attention to detail.While Ham is no…
Several Juventus players took to the field for their national teams in the first matchday of October’s international break, with Andrea Cambiaso celebrating his first-ever goal for Italy. The Italians were up after just two minutes in their Nations League clash against Belgium, Cambiaso pouncing on the rebound to put the Azzurri ahead in Rome. After going 2-0 up, the Italians went down to 10 men and would eventually have to settle for a 2-2 draw, yet still remain top of their group, a point ahead of France. Nicolo Fagioli came on in the second half, while Michele Di Gregorio…
Reports from Italy suggest that Inter are interested in signing Daniele Maldini, the heir of the legendary football family connected to AC Milan. Both his father, Paolo Maldini, and his grandfather, Cesare Maldini, became synonymous with success at AC Milan, which makes Inter’s interest in the young forward particularly controversial. Inter understand that having a ‘Maldini’ at the club would “challenge the history of the sport”, but it is an issue that does not worry much. There are no negotiations yet with Monza over Daniel Maldini, the forward is just a name on Inter’s list. Despite the potential for fan…
Last summer, the AC Milan managers, with advisor and consultant Zlatan Ibrahimovic, worked hard both on incoming and outgoing transfers, with some profiles planned for the winter session where new changes are expected.

The main focus will be on Calabria, who has not yet renewed his contract expiring in July 2025. The captain is realising that the wind has changed with the arrival of Emerson Royal, and the club has not sent encouraging signals regarding his…

The annual survey is here. NBA general managers react to key topics before the 2024-25 season tips off. The Boston Celtics were one of the most dominant champions in recent memory, ranking in the top two on both ends of the floor in the regular season and then losing only three playoff games on their way to the franchise’s 18th title. It’s been seven years since the NBA had a repeat champion, but it should be no surprise that the Celtics are heavy favorites to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy again in 2025. In the 23rd annual NBA.com GM Survey,…
Just a couple of weeks after the retirement of former NBA MVP Derrick Rose became official, another accomplished player is calling it quits. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, three-time NBA champion Danny Green has retired from basketball after 15 seasons. The 37-year-old appeared in two games for the Philadelphia 76ers last season.

After Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick previously teased that LeBron and Bronny James would play together in an NBA game soon, it appears the regular-season opener is the target date. Appearing on Thursday’s episode of Get Up, ESPN’s Shams Charania said the father-son duo will play together “as soon as opening night” when the Lakers host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Oct. 22. Redick said last month on The Lowe Post podcast (starts at 1:03:51) that LeBron and Bronny would play together “sooner rather than later.” In the same interview, Redick did leave open the possibility that Bronny could…
A brief exchange of trash talk took place between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese during the final minutes of the 2023 NCAA championship game. Reese mimicked WWE wrestler John Cena’s iconic “You Can’t See Me” gesture in Clark’s face and pointed to her ring finger to signify LSU’s championship victory while following the Iowa star around the court. Fans on social media reacted with mixed feelings to Reese’s actions, with some even calling her behavior “classless.” However, in an interview after LSU’s win, Reese explained the reason behind her gestures. Reese’s comments referred to Clark dismissing Alexis Morris as a…
Manchester City’s financial situation has been under scrutiny this week with the publishing of the verdict into their legal challenge against the Premier League over Associated Party Transaction rules.
