Lakers head coach JJ Redick recently hinted at when that could be. “JJ Redick says there is no set return date in mind for LeBron James, but the team is eyeing the second or third week of November as the general range,” ESPN’s Dave McMenamin stated on X/Twitter. The Lakers won’t complete a deep playoff run without James in the thick of the action. The 21-time All-Star isn’t the human pogo stick he used to be, but he still possesses one of the best basketball minds in the league and is a reliable closer at age 40. James extended his…

With Murray sidelined to start the season, the Kings turned to rookie Nique Clifford to fill the void. Clifford didn’t light up the scoreboard—finishing with just two points—but he grabbed eight rebounds and posted a positive plus/minus in his debut. Unfortunately, an MRI afterward revealed a right hamstring strain, sidelining him for at least a week before a possible return on November 1. Without Clifford and Murray, Sacramento rolled out an unusual lineup on October 28 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Alongside the usual trio of DeRozan, LaVine, and Domantas Sabonis, the Kings started guards Dennis Schröder—who’s opened every game…
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca tells his players “every day” to improve at facing low defences in back-five formations after being shocked by Premier League managers this season. The Italian gave a humorous anecdote involving Ange Postecoglou and said Sunderland’s switch to a back five surprised Chelsea in their defeat on Saturday. When asked why opponents keep using a back five against his Blues side, Maresca replied: “When we have difficulties, we like to analyse.” Maresca added Chelsea have beaten back fives against Leicester, Wolves, West Ham and Everton, but recently his side needs to “do better”, explaining: “I’m telling the…

Karl-Anthony Towns seems to be catching most of the heat from Tuesday’s defeat, and understandably so. KAT played poorly, especially in the second half. He converted just two of his 12 FG attempts, finishing the contest with eight points (first time he’s scored fewer than nine points since arriving in New York), 12 rebounds and one solitary assist (vs. three turnovers). If we were going to cut KAT some slack, it’s important to point out two factors working against the big man. First and foremost, he’s learning an entirely new offensive system. Brown is the third different head coach Towns…
The governor’s office says the Trump administration is putting millions of Americans at risk of hunger by refusing to fund food assistance benefits, despite the Department of Agriculture (USDA) having funds to continue supporting the program next month. More than five million Californians stand to lose critical access to food assistance. While Donald Trump parades around the world trying to repair the economic damage he’s done with his incompetence, he’s denying food to millions of Americans who will go hungry next month,” said Newsom in a statement. “It’s cruel and speaks to his basic lack of humanity. He doesn’t…

The Catalan giants went into the match two points behind arch-rivals Los Blancos with Barcelona able to leapfrog Real Madrid by winning at the Bernabeu. However, it wasn’t to be as Xabi Alonso’s side took all three points in a 2-1 win and build up a five-point gap over Hansi Flick’s men at the top of the La Liga table. Ad Real Madrid, riled up by Yamal’s pre-match comments, scored through Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham either side of a…
Moyes would likely use Kubo as an inverted winger who cuts inside to connect with the striker and attacking midfielder. That setup would let Ndiaye and Jack Grealish move between lines and create overloads on both wings. Kubo makes quick decisions and presses with intensity, matching Moyes’ demand for organised yet fast play. He has grown steadily in San Sebastián, and his skill in tight spaces fits the Premier League’s tempo. Everton like how he links midfield and attack without slowing play. Manchester United and Tottenham want his creativity, but Everton seem more eager for his energy. The Toffees have…
