As LeBron James prepares for his record-tying 22nd NBA season, a haunting reality is beginning to set in. Despite never seeming to regress in a truly significant manner, most appear to be accepting that the end is nearing for James’ career. The Lakers are among those who have been tasked with processing that daunting reality, as building beyond James appears to be a new priority. James and Anthony Davis will continue to push for a second championship as teammates when the 2024-25 season rolls around. They were on the cusp of achieving that feat as recently as 2023, when they…

Ahead of AC Milan’s Serie A match against Parma, manager Paulo Fonseca addressed the media in a pre-match press conference. The Portuguese tactician provided insights into team selection, player fitness, and tactical approaches for the upcoming fixture. Fonseca confirmed that Noah Okafor will start in place of the injured Alvaro Morata, stating, “I must be honest, tomorrow Okafor will play. It will be a different match. We want to have a different ability to play high compared to Saturday against Torino. Okafor has given good responses during the week, and the characteristics of the match suit his qualities well.” Regarding…
The second week of Serie A fixtures is upon us after a first round of matches which saw Atalanta rise to the top of the table with an impressive 4-0 win at Lecce. The action in Italy this weekend gets underway at 5.30pm on Saturday as Parma host AC Milan and Lazio head to Udinese. We have run through all nine games and provided a score prediction for each. Parma vs AC Milan (Saturday, 5.30pm) Paulo Fonseca will have aspirations of a title in his first season with Milan, so beating newly promoted Parma is a must for the Portuguese…
The Baltimore Orioles brought in a legendary closer to fill the shoes of their injured start, but it’s only expected to be a one-year stay after he imploded this season. Mark Feisand of MLB.com looked through the big name players with contract options that need to be settled this offseason and found Craig Kimbrel’s situation easy to read. After Felix Bautista was slated to miss the entire 2024 season, the Orioles brought in Kimbrel on a one-year, $13 million deal. That contract also had a club option worth another $13 million, it would be shocking to see his option picked up at…
The Boston Celtics took a chance on sharpshooter Sam Hauser three years ago after the 6-foot-7 forward went undrafted out of Virginia, which proved itself to be a viable route to landing an NBA opportunity yet again — in the Hauser household — when the Atlanta Hawks took a flier of their own Thursday. Atlanta signed Michigan State product Joey Hauser to an Exhibit 10 contract, according to Brad Rowland of Dime on UPROXX. Hauser, 25, went undrafted in 2023 before settling for a roster spot on the Ontario Clippers, the G League affiliate of the Los Angeles Clippers, averaging…
Inter Milan will reportedly opt against taking any risks with Lautaro Martinez following his injury scare as they had done with Hakan Calhanoglu earlier this month. As reported earlier in the evening, the Argentine is suffering from muscle fatigue. This condition prevented the Nerazzurri captain from training with his teammates on Friday. Therefore, Simone Inzaghi and his staff will carefully assess the player’s condition on Saturday before deciding on whether or not to include him in the matchday squad for the Lecce clash. The reigning Italian champions will host Lecce at San Siro tomorrow night in their first home encounter of the…
After a quick aperitivo, nearly 30,000 fans will pass through the archway at the Stadio Ennio Tardini, no doubt the strains of Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida reverberating around the old ground, as they take their seats for newly promoted Parma’s game against AC Milan on Saturday. In the United States, the action could theoretically reach 125million people as it becomes the first Serie A game to be shown on national television. Kicking off at 12:30pm ET on CBS, the league is hopeful it will break the previous record audience for a broadcast in this market, standing as it does at only 225,000 viewers.…
Speculation that Jeff Bezos was in play to buy the Boston Celtics lasted about as long as it takes to get a fast delivery from Amazon.com. As in overnight. The buzz for Bezos is gone, apparently, even if the idea made some sense. The man has a net worth of somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 billion, and part of the fun of being a many-times-over billionaire is buying mansions that are right out of “The Queen of Versailles,” building spaceships and owning professional sports franchises. If for no other reason than his ability to use the spare change in his pants…
Manu Koné continues being linked as one of the main targets for Roma in the final days of the transfer window. The French midfielder is being eyed by the Giallorossi as one of the top reinforcements for Daniele De Rossi’s squad. Having been ruled out of Gladbach’s match with Leverkusen for reasons related to his market situation, Koné could be nearing a move to Roma. As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport on Instagram, Koné is a explicit request by Daniele De Rossi who wants him at his orders. The Roma boss is a huge admirer of the Frenchman whom…
