到目前為止，洛杉磯湖人隊在季後賽中沒有奧斯汀·裡維斯參加比賽，因為他在季後賽開始前遭受了左斜肌拉傷。隨著季後賽的進行，總教練 JJ 雷迪克分享了李維斯重返賽場必須採取的步驟。

根據 ESPN 的戴夫麥克梅納明報道，雷迪克聲稱這位 27 歲的後衛正在訓練中進行一些投籃，作為他回歸過程的一部分。隨著李維斯的恢復，湖人隊將正式更新李維斯在第四場比賽中的狀態。

「在與記者的電話會議上，湖人隊主教練 JJ 雷迪克表示奧斯汀·裡維斯今天下午將在球場投籃，」麥克梅納明報道。 「湖人隊將在下午 5 點更新里維斯第四場比賽的狀態 [PST]」。

裡維斯最初是在 4 月 2 日湖人隊以 139-96 輸給俄克拉荷馬城雷霆隊的比賽中遭受斜傷。他的康復時間為四到六週。但考慮到現在是季後賽，這位效力五年的老將可能會嘗試早點回歸，帶傷打球。

奧斯汀·裡維斯常規賽只打了 51 場比賽，這是他單季出場次數最少的。儘管如此，當他在場上時，他還是湖人隊的關鍵貢獻者之一，場均貢獻23.3分（生涯新高）、4.7個籃板（生涯新高）和5.5次助攻，投籃命中率49.0%（生涯新高），三分線外命中率36.0%。

湖人隊定於週日在第四場比賽中迎戰火箭隊。 JJ 雷迪克和該組織將於美國東部時間週六晚上 8 點提供有關里夫斯狀態的官方更新。

Things are looking pretty bad for the New York Knicks right now. They currently trail the series against the Atlanta Hawks 2-1 and will play again at State Farm Arena for Game 4 on Saturday.

They really need to win this game if they want to keep the series going. If they lose another game then it will be very difficult for them to make a comeback in the series.

The series has unfolded completely differently than anyone in New York had expected. The Knicks won Game 1 but lost Games 2 and 3 by a combined two points, with both losses decided by the final possession.

In Game 3, the Hawks again answered in the fourth quarter, with CJ McCollum and Jonathan Kuminga scoring points. New York had 18 turnovers and made only 28.6% of their shots from three-point range.

A 3-1 series loss against the Hawks would be a disaster for a team built to go deep. Mike Brown knows this. This is what every Knicks fan is watching. Here are three bold predictions for Game 4.

Prediction 1: Jalen Brunson scores over 25 and plays like himself again

Brunson has scored 26, 29 and 28 points in back-to-back games in this series, so the points have clearly been up. But unfortunately, he has also been responsible for every misstep of late. In Game 3, not only did he miss a three-pointer in the air with 16 seconds remaining, but he turned the ball over on the last play as the Knicks were unable to even attempt a shot.

This is a game where Brunson needs to look like himself from start to finish, not just in detail. Playoff Brunson is a different player. Last year, before the Knicks took on the Pacers, he was one of the best closers in the league, and there’s no reason why that player couldn’t show up in Game 4.

Brunson drops at least 25 and makes the right play when the game is on the line.

Prediction 2: Mikal Bridges struggles again and sees fewer minutes

Bridges had no points in Game 3, going 0-for-3 with one rebound and two assists in 21 minutes. In four-quarter periods in Games 2 and 3, they had zero field goals and six total turnovers.

Mike Brown took him out in the third quarter and kept him on the bench for most of the second half.

Miles McBride got 31 minutes while Bridges only got 21 minutes, and the Knicks were clearly more effective with that smaller lineup. Since Bridges is having trouble in this matchup, it’s hard to imagine Brown falling back on him in heavy moments when McBride is giving him more on the floor.

Prediction: Bridges plays less than 25 minutes again, and McBride handles the bulk of those extra possessions.

Prediction 3: Karl-Anthony Towns posts a double-double and stays on the floor

Towns had 21 points and 17 rebounds in Game 3, and he was certainly the best big man on the floor all night. The issue is that the Knicks are finding it difficult to utilize him in the most important moments; In fact, the final play went to Brunson.

As a small team, the Hawks and Towns demonstrated very clearly what this mismatch will look like when it comes to offense.

The Browns should keep Towns on the court for a full 40 minutes instead of just longer, because with the production from both Towns and Brunson, New York is a completely different team.

If these three things happen, the Knicks may very well win.

Prediction: Towns gets at least 22 points and 11 rebounds, and New York wins 110-102 to tie the series 2-2.

曼城队的 更广泛的招聘网络继续加快步伐，继他们最近在墨西哥的活动之后，现在出现了一个新的名字。

正如本周早些时候报道的，城市足球集团的代表前往该国观看比赛并与当地联系人进行讨论。

当时，尚未确认具体目标。不过，新鲜 来自厄瓜多尔的报道 现在指出他们议程上的具体参与者。

据说目前效力于 Pumas UNAM 的佩德罗·维特（Pedro Vite）已牢牢受到该集团的关注，并已在努力在下一个转会窗口推动交易。

侦察之旅很快就锁定了第一个目标

佩德罗·维特在转会美洲狮之前已经在美国职业足球大联盟建立了良好的声誉，他的个人资料符合曼城在全球范围内瞄准的球员类型。

如今，厄瓜多尔人主要作为一名后撤组织核心，但也经常走上前场。他是左脚球员，短距离移动速度很快，并且更多地依赖技术而不是身体素质。

他本赛季的数据凸显了他的“组织者”角色。在 31 场比赛中，他场均传球约 54 次，成功率高达 88%。

此外，他还完成了 40 次关键传球并送出 65 次传中——是的，他也会游向边路，通常是在重叠的边后卫身后。这些数字凸显了控球的参与度和一致性。

这种产出与整个城市足球集团的招募模式非常吻合。他们倾向于优先考虑能够适应多种体系和联赛的技术可靠的中场球员。

世界杯时机推动潜在交易

据当地媒体报道，佩德罗·维特的处境也带来了战略角度 海外厄瓜多尔人。据报道，城市足球集团渴望在即将到来的世界杯之前完成一笔交易。

推理很简单。一场强大的国际比赛可能会提高他的估值，从财务角度来看，早期转会更具吸引力。

据说拟议的费用约为 1400 万欧元（1200 万英镑）。如果完成，这将创下 Pumas UNAM 的销售记录。

接下来会发生什么

佩德罗·维特的案件看起来像是曼城正在进行的全球球探行动的自然延伸。最近对墨西哥的访问现在看来不再是探索性的，而是更有针对性了。

目前尚不清楚城市足球集团内的哪个俱乐部将是他的最初目的地。赫罗纳、纽约城足球俱乐部或其他附属球队可以在任何可能转会到曼彻斯特之前提供垫脚石。

目前，尚无进一步谈判的确认。尽管如此，现场考察和新出现的报告相结合表明，这是未来几周值得密切关注的事情。

如果该团队确实迅速采取行动，它将遵循一个既定的模式——尽早发现人才，在重大赛事之前采取行动，并将球员逐渐融入他们的多俱乐部结构中。

On Friday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers provided Aaron Rodgers with an opportunity to fine-tune his legacy in his final season in the NFL.

Rodgers would go on to become one of the greatest players to ever take the field wearing a helmet in an NFL game. In his 21 legendary seasons, he went to the Pro Bowl 10 times, earned All-Pro honors on four occasions, and was the NFL MVP four times. And in 2011, he reached the top of the mountain when he led the Green Bay Packers to their last Super Bowl.

His reputation as a football player remains untouched. However, it is things off the field that have made him a divisive figure among many fans. Whether it’s his almost annual retirement threats with the Packers. Mike McCarthy was removed as head coach. His views about the world, or his interest in psychedelics.

He also had a disappointing season with the New York Jets and took several months to put pen to paper with the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. Another standout was how he handled the Packers’ preparation for his postseason when they drafted Jordan Love in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Although he was not outwardly unhappy about it, he did not accept the future despite receiving similar treatment from Brett Favre 15 years earlier. This was one of many instances during his career where he appeared to be emotion- and me-first rather than team-first.

Well, if he returns to the Steelers this season he has a chance to change a lot of opinions about him. On Friday night, Pittsburgh took a step toward the future when they made Penn State quarterback Drew Allar the 76th pick in this year’s draft.

Aaron Rodgers should embrace graybeard mentorship in final NFL season

The Ellers were promoted in the first round of the 2025 college football season. But a poor start for the Nittany Lions and a serious ankle injury ended his year within a few weeks. He has good size and a big arm that can make all the throws in the NFL. But it needs a lot of work and it’s a complete project. So he is not a threat to Rodgers starting in 2026.

That’s why NFL veterans should guide Elar, as NFL.com’s scouting report claims his “improvement in confidence, poise and recognition should be the foundation of any rebound.”

Barring a spectacular run to the Super Bowl, this is certainly the 42-year-old’s swan song. His place in Canton has been decided. However, changing his story a bit by playing a key role in developing his replacement and a potential long-term starter would be just as close to an illustrious career. This will prove once and for all that he is a better player and person than Brett Favre.

曼联队的 当你将安东尼在皇家贝蒂斯所做的事情与他所做的事情联系起来时，让安东尼继续前进的决定开始变得更加清晰。

巴西人悄然完成了多年来最高效的表现。在所有比赛中，他在 40 场比赛中打入 13 粒进球和 9 次助攻。在西甲联赛中，他在 26 场比赛中打入 7 粒进球和 5 次助攻。

基本数据也支持了这一点。安东尼平均每 90 分钟参与 0.54 次进球。他场均出手 3.08 次，每 9.71 次出手得分一次。

除此之外，他场均发出 2.04 次关键传球，场均传球次数约为 43 次，传球成功率为 81.61%。

与我们在老特拉福德看到的相比，这是一个非常不同的参与程度。在西班牙，他的角色更加明确，并且更多地参与到最后三分之一的比赛中。皇家贝蒂斯 改变了他的职业和心态。

所有这一切都发生在一个关键时刻。巴西世界杯阵容公布的时间越来越近，安东尼正努力重返赛场。

贝蒂斯的决定塑造了国际希望

安东尼现在已经敞开心扉 ESPN 巴西 关于他的俱乐部状况和他的巴西野心。他目前在贝蒂斯的处境显然在这方面发挥了重要作用。

“留在贝蒂斯是我一生中最好的决定之一。” 安东尼补充道。 “我很高兴。 我的家人很重 在决定中。看到他们幸福很重要。”

“当家人都健康时，球场上的事情就会变得轻松”，他总结道。

他是蒂特麾下参加上届世界杯​​的大名单中的一员，但迄今为止在安切洛蒂麾下并没有太多出场机会。即便如此，他并没有放弃制作下一部。

“我最大的梦想是参加世界杯，但我必须尽我的职责，我的工作，国家队是一个结果，” 他说。

“我真的很想回来，参加我的第二次世界杯。穿上国家队球衣一直是我的目标。”

没有安东尼的生活

安东尼听起来像是一个在西班牙定居的人，而不是一个回顾曼联的球员。

但他感觉可能是双向的。曼联在没有他的情况下继续前进，考虑到事态的发展，他们也很难想念他。球队已经发生了变化，安东尼在英格兰期间的角色从未完全确定。

也就是说，他目前的数据确实强调了仍然有一名球员在那里。在贝蒂斯，他看起来更加自信、更加投入、更加果断。

这是另一个玩家需要不同的环境来展示自己最佳水平的情况。对于安东尼来说，时机是理想的。他给了自己一个真正的机会，在最重要的时候重返巴西话题。

The Boston Red Sox have been one of the biggest disappointments in Major League Baseball this season, entering Friday’s game with the worst record in the American League. The Red Sox lineup has been the primary problem, raising questions about outfielder Jaren Duran’s future with the team.

Robert Murray of FanSided.com wrote that Duran has long been a target of San Diego Padres general manager AJ Preller and would have interest in the league. While Duran could also benefit from a change of scenery, Murray doubts Boston will move him this summer.

READ MORE: MLB Power Rankings Week 4, Red Sox continue to fall

• Jaren Duran contract (Spotrac): $7.7 million salary (2026), arbitration eligible (2027-’28)

Duran, age 29, earned an All-Star selection in 2024. He finished that campaign with 21 home runs, 14 triples, 75 RBI and a .834 OPS with a .285/.342/.492 triple-slash line. Last season he still managed to hit 16 home runs and 13 triples with 84 RBI and a .774 OPS.

However, he has been in a long-term bearish trend since September 2025. Over his last 187 plate appearances, Duran has hit 26.2 percent of his plate appearances with a .216/.283/.345 triple-slash line.

• Jaren Duran stats (ESPN): .198/.261/.296, .558 OPS, 1 home run, 23-6 K-BB in 81 AB

According to Baseball Savant, in terms of his advanced numbers, he ranks in the 2nd percentile for whiff rate (39.6 percent), in the 20th percentile for chase rate (25.1 percent), and he is in the 23rd percentile for expected batting average (.219). He’s still an excellent base runner who is a plus defensively (80th percentile above average), but he has shown no signs of getting back to form at the plate.

Boston would rather sell him for an all-time low than his trade value, and given his history, the club is more inclined to retain him and hope for a change. However, if the Red Sox are unable to dig themselves out of this hole by the beginning of July, multiple teams will likely inquire about Duran before the MLB trade deadline.

brighton And Hove Albion star Matt Wiffer has admitted he has not spoken to Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman in five to six months.

football primer report Comments from the Brighton man today. He admits that his chances of appearing for the Netherlands look slim given the lack of contact with Koeman.

back in vogue in brighton

Matt Wiffer has made himself a contender for a place in the Netherlands’ squad for this summer’s World Cup with a late revival at Brighton.

26 year old Reinvented as a right-back And has now made 21 appearances for the Seagulls in that position this season. In comparison, he has made only five appearances in his usual defensive midfield position.

But due to the recent injury to Jerdie Schouten, a position in midfield has opened up in the Netherlands team. However, Wiffer insists that he has no influence on it.

“First of all, it’s obviously very sad for her. It’s really terrible,” he told Viaplay.

“As far as I’m concerned… I don’t really have any influence on that aspect. Ultimately, I just do my job.”

“I’m not currently playing in that sixth position, but I think I’ll be there often. And I’ve actually played there for almost my entire career. So filling that spot wouldn’t really be a problem in that regard.”

No contact with Koeman

If he were to ensure a return to the international system, the Brighton man would probably have heard from Ronald Koeman by now.

Instead, it appears the two have not spoken since Matt Wiefer called five or six months ago.

“Ultimately, the national coach decides what he wants and what he is looking for,” he said.

“I’m really hoping I’ll get in. I called him once five or six months ago. But I haven’t really talked to him since.”

布莱顿 霍夫阿尔比恩球星马茨·维弗承认他已经五到六个月没有和荷兰主帅罗纳德·科曼说过话了。

足球联赛报告 来自布莱顿人今天的评论。他承认，由于与科曼缺乏联系，他代表荷兰队出场的机会似乎很小。

这位26岁的 被重新改造为右后卫 本赛季至今已为海鸥队以该位置出场 21 次。相比之下，他在正常的防守型中场位置上只出场过五次。

但由于杰迪·舒腾最近受伤，荷兰队中场位置可能已经空缺。不过，维弗坚称他对此没有影响力。

“首先，这对他来说当然非常悲伤。这真的很糟糕，”他告诉 Viaplay。

“至于我……我在这方面确实没有任何影响力。最终，我只是做我的事情。

“我目前不打那个六号位，但我想我会经常在那里。事实上，我几乎整个职业生涯都在那里打球。所以从这方面来说，填补这个位置并不是什么问题。”

科曼没有联系

如果他要重返国家队，布莱顿人现在可能已经收到罗纳德·科曼的消息了。

相反，自从马茨·维弗 (Mats Wieffer) 五六个月前打电话以来，两人似乎就没有说过话。

“最终，国家队教练会决定他想要什么以及他正在寻找什么，”他补充道。

“我真的希望我能晋级。五六个月前我给他打过一次电话。但从那以后我就没有真正和他说过话了。”

休士頓火箭隊將在周五西部聯盟首輪第三場比賽中輸給洛杉磯湖人隊。因腳踝受傷缺陣的凱文杜蘭特在場邊觀看。

據 ClutchPoints 的 Brett Siegel 報道，在輸掉比賽後，舊的說法證實杜蘭特有一個 Burner X（以前的 Twitter）帳戶，他在該帳戶上談論火箭隊。根據火箭隊的情況，杜蘭特所謂的私人批評是合法的。

「是的……凱文·杜蘭特在那個燃燒帳戶上所說的一切都是對的，」西格爾發文道。 “休士頓需要結束這個賽季。”

是的……凱文·杜蘭特在那個燃燒帳戶上所說的一切都是對的。

休士頓需要結束這個賽季。

X（以前稱為 Twitter）上的一位社群媒體用戶表示，杜蘭特的手機肯定爆炸了。

「KD 的手機現在就像綠魔鬼面具一樣與他交談」@sreekyshooter 說。

今年二月，有消息稱杜蘭特擁有燃燒帳戶並辱罵他的隊友。一個名為@gethigher77的現已私人帳戶的螢幕截圖浮出水面，顯示了對現任和前任休斯頓球員的批評。但沒有證據證明該帳戶屬於杜蘭特。

全明星賽結束後，杜蘭特被問到這些指控，他將注意力集中在賽季上。

「我知道你必須問這些問題，但我不是來在推特上胡說八道的，」杜蘭特當時說道。 「我來這裡只是為了專注於這個賽季，並繼續前進。但我知道你必須問這些問題。我的隊友們知道這是什麼，我們整個賽季都被鎖定了。我們很享受休息時間，今天進行了很好的訓練，並期待著客場之旅。”

第 4 場比賽定於美國東部時間週日晚上 9:30 在休士頓舉行。如果休士頓獲勝，第 5 場比賽將於 4 月 29 日星期三在洛杉磯舉行。

The New York Jets selected a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, the player was unlikely to compete with Geno Smith for the starting job this summer.

The first day of this year’s draft was a great one for the Jets. With the second overall pick, they went with a safe option, taking talented Texas Tech edge David Bailey. Then at No. 16, he landed a potential game-breaker at the tight spot in Oregon’s Kenyon Sedig. They then surprised many by moving back in Round 1 to select Indiana star receiver Omar Cooper Jr.

On the second day of the event, he received much praise when he used his only pick on Friday to get another star from the national champions, this time, cornerback D’Angelo Ponds. Heading into Day 3, there was one thing many Jets fans were hoping for, and that was for the team to select a young QB.

Well, he got one in Round 4, but he’s not going to get Gang Green fans excited after his performance in 2025. With their second pick on Saturday, the franchise selected Illinois signal caller Cade Klubnik.

Cade Klubnik’s regression from Heisman contender in 2025

In 2024, he had a breakout season in his sophomore year for the Fighting Illini. He threw for a career-high 3,639 yards and 36 touchdowns to six interceptions. He also connected on 63.4 percent of his passes. That’s why he was an early Heisman Trophy contender, and why Illinois was viewed as a team that could make serious noise in the Big Ten.

This past season was much different as he regressed and had only 2,943 yards and 16 TDs in two fewer games. While his completion percentage (65.6) had increased, his passer rating dropped by nearly 10 points compared to the previous year. Illinois improved from 10-3 in 2024 to 9-4 this past season.

Klubnik can make a lot of throws which he will need in the pros. However, he is a bit undersized (6-foot-2, 207 pounds), and his field vision was average. He could also use some work on his mechanics. Still, he has very good rushing ability and two years ago he ran for 463 yards and seven touchdowns.

Klubnik is a project and will not give Smith any serious competition for the QB1 job in training camp.

西汉姆联 去年夏天，AC米兰寻求引进尤努斯·穆萨。 这名球员最终加盟了亚特兰大，但仍然希望转会到伦敦。

这位多才多艺的中场球员租借到贝加莫的计划并未按计划进行。他参加了 17 场意甲比赛，出场时间仅为 529 分钟。这并不完全符合红黑军团的预期，因为他们最初在贷款中插入了购买选择权。

在此之前，西汉姆联曾为美国人做出过尝试。那时，感觉那不勒斯正在逼近他，而穆萨已经与帕特诺佩达成了个人条款。 体育见证人 红黑军团似乎热衷于继续前进，对此进行了广泛的报道。

很快，亚特兰大抢尽了铁锤帮的先机。现在，这名球员已经开始展望自己的未来，并希望能够转会到英格兰。

出售 Musah 的工作正在进行中

转会市场 看看夏天可能离开红黑军团的情况。理想情况下，他们希望亚特兰大行使购买选择权，但从目前的情况来看，这是不太可能的。

就连玩家似乎也意识到了。现在，他希望西汉姆联能够为他挺身而出，西甲俱乐部也参与其中。穆萨的经纪人希望能够重新激起铁锤帮的兴趣。

米兰的理想目标是 2000 万欧元，但现在很高兴以 16-1700 万欧元的价格出售他。这将为他们带来资本收益并充分利用这种情况。

我们的看法：西汉姆联应该寻求折扣

从穆萨的表现来看，这位 23 岁的球员可能会在转会英超时遇到困难。如果铁锤队真的想要他，他们应该寻求折扣。

米兰可能对此持开放态度，特别是如果没有俱乐部为这位美国国脚出面的话。

穆萨在球场上提供了很多价值。他可以扮演多种角色，在米兰做到了这一点，在瓦伦西亚也展示了这些优势。

布萊頓和霍夫阿爾比恩在觀看維森特·皮薩羅的比賽時可能已經將他們的球探之旅安排得很完美，但最新的更新表明英超球隊不再是這位中場球員唯一明確的出路。

布萊頓追蹤羅薩裡奧中央球員的傳聞已經很強烈， 球探出席最近的比賽。現在，阿根廷的最新評論讓我們更清楚地了解了未來幾個月事態的發展。

“如果他不去英國……”

談到 體育運動記者羅德里戈·維拉證實了英超聯賽對皮薩羅的關注日益增加，其中包括布萊頓的存在。

他解釋說： 「這裡所說的，我想那裡也流傳著這樣的信息，那就是英格蘭足壇一直在關注他，特別是布萊頓。上一場比賽甚至還有球探。”

這與先前的說法相符，但維拉隨後對這位中場球員的未來進行了更具啟發性的更新，從而推動了故事的發展。

「我的信息是，在今年年中，如果這件事沒有進展，他仍然會離開羅薩裡奧中央並前往阿根廷足球的一家大俱樂部。”

在進一步追問下，他暗示了所涉及俱樂部的級別。

「如果他不去英格蘭，他可以轉會到阿根廷足球界的一家大俱樂部……有條紋，」 他補充道。這在阿根廷是一個笑話，因為該國兩個最大的俱樂部——博卡青年隊和河床隊——傳統上在他們的球衣上有條紋。

決策點將近

所以布萊頓對皮薩羅的興趣是真實的，他們已經採取了派遣球探的措施。

同時，還有一個明確的後備選項。在阿根廷境內轉會到一家更大的俱樂部仍然代表著他職業生涯的進步，並可能使他的身價不斷上升。

對布萊頓來說，這稍微改變了動態。採取行動的窗口可能不會持續太久，特別是如果離家較近的俱樂部決定先採取行動的話。

要不是英超機會成為現實，就是皮薩羅採取不同的路線——這條路線仍可能讓他稍後重新回到布萊頓的視線中，但條件卻截然不同。

布恩被問到情況時基本上說爵士並沒有感到困惑；他會和他說話，而他只是當著記者的面說這句話，這幾乎讓情況變得更加奇怪。

尤其是在球隊狀態不佳的時候，紐約媒體的精神失誤只會加劇，這對奇澤姆來說並不是一個好兆頭。

自由球員前景

隨著奇澤姆的數據和休賽期的形成，奇澤姆的自由球員合約數字將變得更加清晰，但球迷們可以期待什麼。

小熊隊明星二壘手尼科·霍爾納最近簽下了一份為期六年、價值 1.41 億美元的豐厚合同，雖然奇澤姆是另一種類型的球員，但他仍然可以期望在該地區的某個地方獲得資金。

A new report suggests that the failed trade from March played a major role in the New York Giants and Cincinnati Bengals completing the Dexter Lawrence deal earlier than expected.

On Thursday night, the Giants had not one, but two picks in the top 10 of the NFL Draft. Of course, he was selected at No. 5 after a poor 4-13 performance last season. But they added the 10th overall selection after completing the long-rumored trade of tackle Dexter Lawrence last week.

The three-time Pro Bowler wanted a big pay raise despite having a season left on the extension he signed a few years ago. The veterans were no longer interested in granting his request after a year of decline, and both parties realized that a divorce was necessary. Luckily for Big Blue, the Bengals were willing to give up a premium pick in Round 1 for his services.

However, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Giants fans did not learn about the second pick until Thursday night.

Florio suggests that the likely plan was to complete a deal during Round 1. However, the Bengals did not want to risk giving up the 10th pick without being completely sure Lawrence was fully healthy.

Last month, the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens agreed to a blockbuster deal that will see the five-time Pro Bowler swapped for a trade package that included two first-round picks. However, shortly after reports surfaced about a deal, the Ravens’ medical staff did not like what they saw following a physical and advised the team to void the deal.

of manchester city The extensive recruitment network continues to gain momentum, and a new name has now emerged following their recent activity in Mexico.

As covered earlier this weekRepresentatives from City Football Group traveled to the country to watch matches and discuss with local contacts.

At the time, no specific targets were confirmed. However, fresh report from ecuador Now let’s point to a solid player on their agenda.

Pedro Witte, who is currently at Pumas UNAM, is said to be on the group’s radar, and efforts are already underway to push a deal through in the next transfer window.

The scouting trip soon connected with the first target.

Pedro Vitae has built a strong reputation in MLS before moving to Pumas, and his profile fits the type of player that City are targeting on the world stage.

Nowadays, the Ecuadorian mainly operates as a deep playmaker, but also often moves high up the pitch. He is left-footed, quick over short distances and relies more on technique than physicality.

His numbers this season underline his ‘organiser’ role. In 31 appearances, he has averaged around 54 passes per game with an 88% completion rate.

In addition, he has recorded 40 key passes and delivered 65 crosses – yes, he also passes into wide areas, usually behind overlapping wing-backs. Those figures highlight both participation and continuity in the occupation.

This type of output matches well with the recruitment patterns seen at City Football Group. They prefer technically secure midfielders who can adapt to multiple systems and leagues.

World Cup timing driving potential deal

As the local outlet notes, Pedro Witte’s position also brings a strategic perspective ecuadorians abroad. City Football Group are reportedly keen to complete a deal before the upcoming World Cup.

The logic is simple. A strong international tournament is likely to increase their valuation, making the initial move more attractive from a financial perspective.

The proposed fee is said to be around €14m (£12m). If completed, it would represent record sales for PUMAS UNAM.

what happens next

The case of Pedro Vitae looks like a natural extension of Manchester City’s ongoing global scouting effort. A recent trip to Mexico now seems less exploratory and more targeted.

It is unclear which club within the City Football Group will be his initial destination. Verona, New York City FC or another associated side could make a move ahead of any potential move to Manchester.

At present, there is no confirmation of further talks. Still, the combination of in-person scouting and emerging reports suggests it will be one to watch closely in the coming weeks.

If the group moves forward quickly, it will follow a well-established pattern – identifying talent early, acting before major tournaments, and gradually integrating players within its multi-club structure.

Ime Udoka’s comments following the Houston Rockets’ loss in Game 3 of the series against the Los Angeles Lakers fueled recent speculation that the team could trade young star Alpern Sengun this summer.

The Rockets’ 2025-26 campaign is on the verge of a stunning finish. They entered the year with serious NBA Finals expectations after acquiring future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant. But Houston finished fifth in the conference. Still, they were fortunate in a first-round playoff matchup against a Lakers team without Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.

However, after a bad loss on Friday night, where they blew a huge lead in the final minute of regulation, the Rockets advanced to Game 4 on Sunday by a 3–0 margin. After the loss, Houston head coach Ime Udoka was asked about their Game 3 collapse, and his opinion was surprising.

“Terrible mistakes. I don’t know whether you want to say young or scared of the moment,” Udoka said in his post-game press conference.

His comments were honest but also very interesting, as they seem to confirm why Alpern Sengun could be on the trade block this summer.

Did Ime Udoka confirm why Alperen Sengun will be traded?

On Friday, The Athletic’s William Guillory explained why the next few games were so important for Sengun’s future in Houston. After being a major part of the team’s rebirth in 2024–25, they had a poor performance late in the regular season and were even worse in the playoffs.

Guillory wrote, “The Rockets were expecting much better than this. More specifically, they were expecting a lot more from Sengun at this point in the season, especially after last year’s playoff run helped solidify the 23-year-old as one of the pillars of the franchise.”

“It’s no exaggeration to say that Sengun has been one of the biggest disappointments in this year’s playoffs – not just in Houston, but among all postseason teams.”

While the two-time All-Star played much better in Game 3, posting 33 points, 16 rebounds, and was +10 when he was on the floor, he couldn’t carry his team across the finish line in a very winnable game at home. It added to his reputation that he couldn’t do it under a bright spotlight for a franchise with championship aspirations.

The team was willing to give up Jalen Green despite notable development in order to trade Durant, with Guillory speculating that Sengun could easily be added to a winning proposal in a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo or Donovan Mitchell in the offseason.

While Udoka didn’t specifically call out Seungun, he was one of the guys who was scared at the moment, and that doesn’t bode well for his long-term prospects in H-Town.

of manchester united The decision to move Antony makes sense when you juxtapose it with what he is doing at Real Betis.

Brazil has quietly produced its most productive performance in years. In all competitions, he has 13 goals and nine assists in 40 games. In La Liga, this is limited to seven goals and five assists in 26 appearances.

The underlying numbers also support this. Antony averages 0.54 goal involvements per 90 minutes. He takes 3.08 shots per game and scores once every 9.71 attempts.

Furthermore, he makes 2.04 key passes per match and completes 81.61% of his 43 passes per game.

It’s a very different level of involvement compared to what we saw at Old Trafford. In Spain, his role is clearer and he is much more involved in the final third. real daughters His career and his mentality changed.

It all comes at a crucial moment. The announcement of Brazil’s World Cup squad is approaching and Antony is trying to get back into the picture.

Betis’ decision is shaping international expectations

Antony has now come out openly espn brazil Regarding both his club situation and his Brazilian ambitions. His current situation at Betis clearly plays a big role in that push.

“Staying at Betis was one of the best decisions of my life,” Antony added. “I am very happy. my family was overweight In the decision. It is important to see them happy.”

“When the family is okay it makes things lighter on the field.”He concluded.

He was part of the squad for the last World Cup under Tite, but has not been able to perform much under Carlo Ancelotti so far. Still, he’s not giving up on building the next one.

“My biggest dream is to play in the World Cup, but I have to do my part, my job, the national team is the result.” He said.

“I really want to come back, play my second World Cup. It’s my aim to always wear the national team shirt.”

life without antony

Antony seems to be someone who has settled in Spain and not a player looking back at Manchester United.

But he thinks the chances go both ways. United have moved on without him and given the way things have turned out, they hardly miss him. The team changed and Antony’s role was never fully fleshed out during his stay in England.

“His current stats highlight that there is still a player out there,” he said. At Betis, he looks more confident, more engaged and more decisive.

This is a case of a player who needed a different setting to bring out his best level. This time is ideal for Antony. He has given himself a real chance to get back into the Brazilian conversation when it matters most.

兵工厂 葡萄牙体育俱乐部左后卫马克西·阿劳霍在欧冠联赛中的表现给他留下了深刻的印象，主教练米克尔·阿尔特塔将他列为首要目标。

记录报告称阿劳霍 吸引了欧洲多家具乐部的注意，其中阿森纳对转会表现出了具体的兴趣。

阿森纳留下了深刻的印象

据该报消息，阿森纳和阿尔特塔对马克西·阿劳霍最近在欧冠联赛中对阵阿森纳的表现印象深刻。

他的表现“引起了阿尔特塔的注意”，他将这位26岁的球员视为首选目标。枪手也期待竞争，因此已经“从言语转向行动”。

已经与阿劳霍及其代表进行了初步接触。目前，这些对话只不过是一种“探索性方法”。

意识到人们对阿劳霍日益增长的兴趣以及阿森纳的做法，葡萄牙体育很清楚要保护他们的资产。他们已经设定了 8000 万欧元的解约条款，但将在低于该条款的情况下进行谈判。不过，它们的价格不会低于 6000 万欧元。

伦敦之战

阿森纳并不是唯一一支热衷于此的英超球队。 切尔西和托特纳姆热刺最近派遣了球探 观看后卫在对阵波尔图的比赛中的表现。

阿森纳在欧冠半决赛中的对手马德里竞技也是如此。球探定期参加体育比赛，观看乌拉圭人的比赛。

在最近的转会窗口中，亚特兰大和那不勒斯都询问了里斯本竞技的20号球衣。据信尤文图斯和米兰也在关注他。

那么，阿森纳可能会面临激烈而高水平的签下他的竞争。他们似乎意识到了这一点，并且已经采取行动以在竞争中取得领先，尤其是在伦敦。

他们是否会以 6000 万欧元的价格达成交易还有待商榷。里卡多·卡拉菲奥里、皮耶罗·辛卡皮和迈尔斯·刘易斯·斯凯利已经在左后卫位置上，枪手今年夏天几乎不需要在这个位置上加强。

但他们显然对马克西·阿劳霍很感兴趣，据Record报道，他给米克尔·阿尔特塔留下了深刻的印象。

週五，洛杉磯湖人隊對陣休士頓火箭隊的比賽似乎陷入了低迷。但勒布朗·詹姆斯的英勇三分球和馬庫斯·斯馬特在最後幾秒的三記罰球幫助球隊在西部季後賽首輪系列賽中以3-0領先。

盧卡·東契奇和奧斯汀·裡維斯不在場上。

隨著湖人隊的全面指揮，球迷們在社群媒體上表達了他們的興奮之情。

「沒有盧卡。大部分時間都沒有里維斯。勒布朗讓人手不足的湖人隊以 3-0 領先。這是歷史性的」@RazedNBA 在 X（以前是 Twitter）上發布。

另一位用戶指出，年老的勒布朗在沒有東契奇和李維斯的情況下，挑戰了所有讓火箭獲勝的人。

「湖人隊 3-0。橫掃對手？🧹* 這不是新鮮事👑。41 歲的勒布朗在沒有兩名最佳得分手的情況下剛剛進入休斯頓，並在對陣杜蘭特的比賽中以 3-0 領先。「專家」認為火箭隊是最熱門的球隊。湖人隊說「賭注」。

掃碼手錶正式開啟。 」

然後，一位金州勇士球迷插話，基本上是說火箭完蛋了。

“順便說一句，如果沒有奧斯汀·裡維斯和盧卡·東契奇。@HoustonRockets，就關閉你的球隊吧。😭”

東契奇因腿筋受傷缺陣，而李維斯則因斜傷而缺陣。裡維斯有望回歸，而東契奇的康復之路則艱難得多。

整個賽季，東契奇和李維斯承擔了湖人隊的大部分進攻。在他們缺席的情況下，湖人隊不得不依賴詹姆斯和其他人。

第 4 場比賽將於美國東部時間週日 9:30 在休士頓舉行，如有必要，第 5 場比賽將於週三（4 月 29 日）在洛杉磯舉行。

去年夏天，西漢姆聯尋求引進AC米蘭的尤努斯·穆薩。 這名球員最終加盟了亞特蘭大，但仍然希望轉會到倫敦。

這位多才多藝的中場球員租借到貝加莫的計劃並未按計劃進行。他參加了 17 場意甲比賽，出場時間僅 529 分鐘。這並不完全符合紅黑軍團的預期，因為他們最初在貸款中插入了購買選擇權。

在此之前，西漢姆聯曾為美國人嘗試過。那時，感覺那不勒斯正在逼近他，而穆薩已經與帕特諾佩達成了個人條款。 《體育見證》對此進行了廣泛報道，紅黑軍團似乎熱衷於繼續前進。

很快，亞特蘭大搶盡了鐵鎚幫的先機。現在，這名球員已經開始展望自己的未來，並希望能夠轉會到英格蘭。

出售 Musah 的工作正在進行中

足球市場研究了紅黑軍團在夏天可能退出的情況。理想情況下，他們希望亞特蘭大行使購買選擇權，但從目前的情況來看，這是不太可能的。

就連玩家似乎也意識到了。現在，他希望西漢姆聯能夠為他挺身而出，西甲俱樂部也參與其中。穆薩的經紀人希望能夠重新激起鐵鎚幫的興趣。

米蘭的理想目標是 2000 萬歐元，但現在很高興以 1600-1700 萬歐元的價格出售他。這將為他們帶來資本收益並充分利用這種情況。

我們的看法：西漢姆聯應該尋求折扣

從穆薩的表現來看，這位 23 歲的球員可能會在轉會英超時遇到困難。如果鐵鎚隊真的想要他，他們應該尋求折扣。

米蘭可能對此持開放態度，特別是如果沒有俱樂部為這位美國國腳出面的話。

穆薩在球場上提供了很多價值。他可以扮演多種角色，在米蘭做到了這一點，在瓦倫西亞也展現了這些優勢。

從 2026 年開始，佩奇的打擊率已達到 0.353/0.404/0.576，已經打出了 5 支全壘打和 21 分打點。他還偷了四個壘。加上出色的防守，佩吉斯僅在 94 場比賽中就取得了 1.2 的 fWAR。

今年年初，Pages 在前 31 場比賽中達到了高達 1.349 OPS 的峰值，在此過程中達到了 0.500/.516/.833。同期內唯一一位 wRC+ 高於佩奇（280）的合格擊球手是約丹·阿爾瓦雷斯（282），他自己也度過了一個怪物般的一年。

Pages 的啟動並非沒有理由令人擔憂。在過去的八場比賽中，他又艱難地度過了一段寒冷時期，在此期間僅打出了 0.200/.300/.200 (52 wRC+)。儘管如此，有許多跡象表明他的開局可能與前一年的火熱開局有所不同。

正在崛起的明星？

首先，佩奇的基本進攻指標似乎取得了重大進展。

雖然從2024年到2025年他在進攻方面確實有所進步，但他的大部分進步是在防守方面。到了年底，佩奇的守備跑分值達到 95%。然而，雖然不一定很糟糕，但他的進攻指標仍然表明有改進的空間。

Pages 以 0.316 xwOBA、0.258 xBA 和 0.428 xSLG 結束了這一年——所有這些都與前一年相對相似。即使佩奇的實際成績有所改善，這也表明佩奇的成績可能在某種程度上歸因於超額表現。

今年，情況完全不同了。 Pages 目前擁有 0.368 xwOBA、0.302 xBA 和 0.474 xSLG，分別位於每個類別的第 79、93 和 79 個百分點。

同樣，他的重擊率和平均退出速度也飆升。 2025 年，佩奇的平均退出速度保持在 88.6 英里/小時，與 2024 年的競選活動相同，重擊率達到 37.2%。

nottingham forest “We are working on a deal to sign Naples’ Mathias Oliveira,” a source told Sport Witness.

The Premier League team took a look at the 28-year-old in the winter market, but were not able to seal a deal.

On March 27, Khel Witness Found out are nottingham forest ‘Still trying’ to sign left-back.

At the time, we said any move depended on the Reds remaining in the Premier League. They are now 16th in the table and eight points ahead of 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur.

The club’s immediate focus at the City Ground is on avoiding relegation, while behind the scenes, work is underway to reshape their squad for next season.

Nottingham Forest are in talks with Napoli

The Premier League team continues to include the Uruguay international on its agenda.

A source told sports witness Nottingham Forest continue talks with the Serie A side over the transfer of the 28-year-old. It is unclear how discussions between the two clubs are progressing.

We also do not have information on the fee required to convince Antonio Conte’s side to approve a move.

Mathias Oliveira has been a regular player for the national team. Barring a last-minute surprise, he will make Marcelo Bielsa’s squad for the World Cup.

The South American will decide on his future after the World Cup, with the option of Nottingham Forest.

Vitor Pereira’s side have made progress in this operation. The move could be attractive if the Reds are to win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League. To do this, they must first beat Aston Villa in the semi-finals.

鲁本·阿莫林 (Ruben Amorim) 似乎正在寻找他的第一份工作 曼联，明确表示他愿意加盟本菲卡。

CM 电竞报道 这位前曼联主帅似乎准备在今年夏天与他的老东家重返足球界。

曼联之后可用

《Mais Sport》报道称，如果本菲卡需要鲁本·阿莫林，他可以“执教”他。如果有这份工作，教练公开承认这种可能性。

他将回到以前的俱乐部，但前提是俱乐部有“空闲席位”。他不想在此时成为穆里尼奥周围不稳定的根源。

但这位 41 岁的球员希望大家知道他可以上场。自从一月份离开曼联以来，他就一直失业。

尽管他的目标是继续留在海外，带领一支有着“明确计划”的球队，但阿莫林已经告诉他的亲密朋友圈，他下赛季不会拒绝本菲卡。但他不想成为破坏的根源。

他也不想成为本菲卡下赛季不继续追随穆里尼奥的原因。因此，只有在穆里尼奥正式离职后，葡萄牙俱乐部才与他接触，他才会与葡萄牙俱乐部交谈。

体育规定

如果他要重返管理层，鲁本·阿莫里姆希望拥有他在里斯本竞技六个赛季所拥有的一切。他希望完全控制签约和整个职业足球。

这在里斯本取得了很好的效果，他在任职期间为俱乐部赢得了六座重要奖杯。他结束了俱乐部 19 年的联赛冠军荒，并建立了一支具有统治力、破纪录的球队。

他无法在曼联复制这一点，但如果他想随本菲卡回到葡萄牙，他显然希望重复这种设置。目前看来，他只是在发布消息，明确表示他可以参加。

The Kansas City Royals enter the 2026 season with aspirations of competing for a playoff spot. Now more than 25 games into the season, they are tied for the second-worst record in the American League and seem destined to be sellers at the MLB trade deadline.

Examining the team situation, MLB insider Robert Murray shared his belief that All-Star pitcher Chris Bubick will be traded by the Royals this summer.

READ MORE: MLB Power Rankings Week 4, Royals keep falling

“The Royals are struggling. Bubic is in the final season of his contract. All the ingredients for a potential deadline trade. Bubic’s track record will appeal to teams. A left-hander, he posted a 2.67 ERA in 27 games in 2024. He posted a 2.55 ERA in 20 starts last season. His numbers have declined slightly this season, with a 4.08 ERA in five starts, but he’s allowing less Has hits (six hits per nine innings) and slightly more strikeouts per nine innings (9.1 this season; 9 last season). If the Royals’ decline continues, Bubic is almost certain to be traded.

Robert Murray on whether the Kansas City Royals will trade Kris Bubic

• Chris Bubic contract (Spotrac): $6.15 million salary in 2026, MLB free agent in 2026-27

Bubic, who won’t turn 29 until Aug. 19, earned his first All-Star selection with Kansas City last season. The 6-foot-3 southpaw excelled on the mound in 2025, posting a 2.55 ERA with a 24.4 percent strikeout rate and holding opponents to a .227 batting average in 116.1 innings.

He only pitched 146.2 innings over the past two seasons, but he compiled a 2.58 ERA with a 155-44 K-BB ratio and 7.6 H/9 during that span. In five starts this season, he posted a career-best 6.0 H/9 with a strikeout rate of 25.7 percent. However, he has a 4.08 ERA in 28.2 innings, in which he has allowed more than four runs in a pair of starts.

It seems unlikely that Kansas City will be able to work out a new deal with Bubic this off-season, with the California native set to cash in on MLB free agency this winter. So, barring a dramatic turnaround, it’s reasonable to think Bubic will be one of the starting pitchers moved ahead of the MLB trade deadline.

armory Manager Mikel Arteta has made Sporting Club de Portugal left-back Maxi Araujo his number one target after impressing in the Champions League.

Records report that Araujo Has attracted the attention of several clubs in Europe and among them, Arsenal are showing solid interest in a move.

arsenal impressed

According to the newspaper, Arsenal and Mikel Arteta were impressed by Maxi Araujo’s performance against them in the recent Champions League.

His performances caught the attention of Arteta and he identified the 26-year-old as a first-choice target. The Gunners also expect competition so have ‘moved from words to action.’

Initial contacts have already taken place with Araújo and his representatives. At present the talks are nothing more than an ‘exploratory approach’.

Sporting, aware of the growing interest in Araújo and Arsenal’s approach, have been clear about the protection of their asset. He has a release clause set at €80 million, but will negotiate below that. However, they will not go below €60m.

battle of london

Arsenal aren’t the only curious team in the Premier League. Chelsea and Tottenham have recently sent scouts To see the defender in action against Porto.

As did Arsenal’s rivals Atlético Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals. Scouts regularly attend sports games to watch Uruguay play.

In the recent transfer window, both Atalanta and Napoli also made inquiries about Sporting’s number 20. It is believed that Juventus and Milan are also keeping an eye on him.

In such a situation, Arsenal may have to face tough and high-level competition for his signature. It appears they are aware of this and are already taking steps to get ahead of the competition, especially in London.

Whether they will do a deal for €60m is debatable. With Riccardo Calafiori, Piero Hincapie and Miles Lewis-Skelley already at left back, the Gunners do not need to strengthen in that position this summer.

But they are clearly interested in Maxi Araujo, who has, according to records, greatly impressed Mikel Arteta.

布莱顿 霍夫阿尔比恩球星马茨·维弗承认他已经五到六个月没有和荷兰主帅罗纳德·科曼说过话了。

It appears Ruben Amorim is fishing for his first job Manchester UnitedBy making it clear that he is ready to join Benfica.

CM Esporte Report The former Manchester United manager looks set to return to football with his former club this summer.

Available after Manchester United

Mys Sport report that Ruben Amorim is ‘available’ to coach Benfica if they want him. Coaches are openly acknowledging this possibility, should the job become available.

He will return to his former club but only if there is a ‘free seat’ at the club. He does not want to be a source of instability around Jose Mourinho at this time.

But the 41-year-old wants it to be known that he is available. He has been out of work since leaving Manchester United in January.

Although his aim is to remain abroad with a team with a ‘well-defined project’, Amorim has told his close friends that he will not refuse Benfica next season. But he doesn’t want to be a source of disruption.

He also does not want to be the reason why Benfica does not remain with Mourinho next season. Thus, he will only talk to the Portuguese club if they contact him after the official announcement of Mourinho’s departure.

terms of play

If Ruben Amorim were to return to management, he would want to achieve what he achieved during his six seasons at Sporting. He wants complete control over signings and all professional football.

It worked well in Lisbon as he won six major trophies during his tenure at the club. This helped him end the club’s 19-year league title drought and establish an impressive, record-breaking team.

He was unable to replicate this at Manchester United, but he clearly wants to replicate the set-up if he is to return to Portugal with Benfica. For now, it appears he’s just putting his word out there, making it clear that he’s available.

若昂·帕利尼亚 (João Palhinha) 的未来正陷入不确定性， 托特纳姆热刺队 处于问题的中心。

《Sport 1》今天对托特纳姆热刺中场的报道 考虑到拜仁慕尼黑不希望他回来，他将如何面对一个艰难的夏天。

托特纳姆热刺想要更低的价格

德国媒体报道称，托特纳姆热刺队对本赛季若昂·帕利尼亚感到满意，并可以想象在今年夏天触发购买他的选择权。

但只有拜仁同意重新谈判费用，他们才会这样做。 原始条款的保证金额为 2500 万欧元，加上附加条款后可能升至 3000 万欧元。热刺认为这个费用太高了。

与此同时，拜仁希望托特纳姆热刺永久签下他。与这位葡萄牙中场球员的交易将使他们能够限制他们在 2024 年以 4800 万欧元签下的一名球员的经济损失。

拜仁不想让他回来

在拜仁慕尼黑内部，若昂·帕利尼亚现在不再适合俱乐部的长期战略。拜仁正在向年轻化方向转变，文森特·孔帕尼已经没有空间容纳这位30岁的球员了。

德国冠军公开希望托特纳姆热刺激活该条款。至少他们希望热刺尝试为这名中场球员谈判一份永久合同。

体育总监克里斯托夫·弗罗因德本周在公开评论中已经直言不讳地表达了这一点。他承认，关于帕利尼亚未来的讨论将被搁置，直到赛季结束。他们需要看看托特纳姆热刺在赛季结束时是否是英超球队。

托特纳姆热刺的保级战让一切变得复杂

托特纳姆热刺的生存之战是达成交易的最大障碍。由于俱乐部在几个月内未尝一胜，而且还盯着冠军联赛，向一名 30 岁的中场球员投入 25-3000 万欧元是一种奢侈，他们可能无法证明这一点是合理的。

如果他们降级到英冠，这笔交易几乎肯定会被排除在外。即使他们留了下来，对于一个没有像他们希望的那样改变中场的球员来说，转会费仍然感觉很高。

接下来会发生什么？

一切最终都取决于热刺的联赛地位。如果他们坚持下去，他们很可能会推动拜仁降低费用。在这方面达成协议是可能的。

如果它们下跌，购买选择就变得几乎不可能。由于需要进行重大改革，即使是协商费用似乎也不太可能。

如果双方都无法达成协议，若奥·帕利尼亚将返回拜仁，在那里他没有位置或途径参与孔帕尼的计划。这让这位中场球员陷入了困境，他的命运很大程度上掌握在别人手中。

Joao Palinha’s future is heading towards uncertainty Tottenham Hotspur At the heart of the issue.

Sport 1’s report on the Tottenham midfielder today And how he faces a difficult summer, given that Bayern Munich do not want him back.

tottenham want a lower price

The German outlet reports that Tottenham are happy with Joao Palinha this season and could entertain the option of purchasing him this summer.

But they will only do so if Bayern agrees to renegotiate the fee. The basic clause sits at €25m guaranteed, potentially rising to €30m with add-ons. It is a fee that Spurs consider too high.

Meanwhile, Bayern would like Tottenham to take him permanently. A deal for the Portuguese midfielder would allow them to limit financial losses on the player who is contracted for €48m in 2024.

Bayern doesn’t want him back

Inside Bayern Munich, Joao Palinha now fits into the club’s long-term strategy. Bayern are moving towards a younger profile, and Vincent Kompany has no room for the 30-year-old.

The German champions are openly hoping that Tottenham will activate this clause. At the very least he hopes Spurs will try and negotiate a permanent deal for the midfielder.

Sporting director Christoph Freund has already spoken clearly about this in public comments this week. He admitted that discussions regarding Palhinha’s future were on hold until the season ended. They have to see whether Tottenham are a Premier League team at the end of the season.

Tottenham’s relegation battle has made everything complicated

Tottenham’s fight for survival is the biggest obstacle to a deal. With the club without a win for several months and with their sights set on the Championship, paying €25-30m for a 30-year-old midfielder is a luxury they may not be able to justify.

If they drop into the Championship, a deal will almost certainly be off the table. Even if they stay up, the fee still seems steep for a player who hasn’t made as many changes to their midfield as they hoped.

what happens next?

Everything ultimately depends on Tottenham’s league position. If they remain, they will likely put pressure on Bayern to reduce the fee. A deal is possible on that front.

If they go down, buying options becomes almost impossible. Even negotiated fees seem unlikely with the need for a major overhaul.

If no deal is reached either way, Joao Palinha returns to Bayern, where he has no place or way into Kompany’s plans. This leaves the midfielder in limbo, with his fate largely in the hands of others.

阿贾克斯后卫富保武宏在接受采访时谈到了他与伤病的斗争 兵工厂，以及挥之不去的挫败感，因为他在枪手的时光并没有如他所愿。

阿贾克斯秀时间报道这位27岁后卫的评论 今天，来自 Ajax Life 的采访。在酋长球场度过了令人沮丧的几年后，他正试图在荷兰俱乐部重建自己的职业生涯。

伤病困扰毁了阿森纳的故事

富保武宏在阿森纳的日子一开始很顺利，但这种势头并没有持续多久。一系列的小腿和膝盖受伤阻碍了他的进步，让他只能为了保持上场状态而奋斗。

自19/20赛季以来，这名后卫每个赛季至少缺席7场比赛。他已经至少有 57 天没有参加比赛了。他缺席最长的一次。 2024/25赛季，总共435天有3次伤病，总共缺席57场比赛。

这并不是这位日本国脚自己所想象的。他承认这很难接受。

“我从来没有想象过我会在阿森纳受到如此严重的打击，因为我实际上对自己的身体非常小心，”他说。

“也许比其他人都更重要。在伦敦的前六个月非常棒。我正在实现梦想。

“四年里，我平均打了大约二十场比赛。通常情况下，一个赛季已经接近六十场了。事后看来，这不是我想在那里创造的记忆。但事实就是如此。”

这名后卫表示，他仍然不完全明白为什么自己的身体经常崩溃。

“如果我处理不当，我也会理解。有些球员在赛后聚会却从未受伤。我根本没有做任何疯狂的事情，但这件事却发生在我身上。你会暂时感到沮丧。”

接受、耐心和新的视角

这位27岁的球员最终在去年夏天与阿森纳达成协议终止合同。然后他以自由球员身份度过了五个月，之后 12月加盟阿贾克斯。

此后他代表荷兰俱乐部在所有比赛中出场七次，总共出场 205 分钟。

这些不是他所希望的数字，但他坚持认为他现在已经达到了接受的程度。这让他在离开阿森纳后继续前进。

“如果你放弃了，那就结束了。所以，你就不要停下来！”他说。 “最终你会意识到，在生活中，事情的发生是你无法控制的。为此生气有什么意义呢？生活还要继续。”

他解释了他如何在长时间远离球场的情况下改变自己的心态。

“每天都有一些你可以做的事情。例如，如果你不在球场上，你可以去健身房。或者你去与家人和朋友共度时光。我必须……要有耐心。”

洛杉磯湖人隊一度瀕臨輸掉第三場比賽，但在周五晚上，一場不可思議的反彈點燃了他們的信心，擊敗了休士頓火箭隊。

洛杉磯在第三場比賽中有著令人難以置信的勢頭。他們在沒有盧卡·東契奇和奧斯汀·裡維斯的情況下勇敢地捍衛了主場，看到勒布朗·詹姆斯和支持者在主場的前兩場比賽中大幅進步。

然而，在客場贏得第三場比賽並不容易。儘管凱文杜蘭特因傷缺席，休士頓火箭仍必須竭盡全力避免系列賽以0-3落後。

詹姆斯在阿爾佩倫·森貢 (Alperen Sengun) 上籃後，在比賽還剩不到 30 秒時，火箭隊領先 6 分，在系列賽中非常接近扳回一局。然而，馬庫斯·斯馬特在球隊其他球員放棄後強行搶斷，然後在三分球犯規，三罰全中。此後，詹姆斯挺身而出，強行搶斷並投進三分，將比分扳平，將比賽拖入加時賽。

湖人隊在第三場比賽中如何對抗火箭隊

湖人隊雖然有所下滑，但肯定還沒出局。由於馬庫斯·斯瑪特在攻防兩端的努力，他們現在在系列賽中以 3-0 領先表現不佳的火箭隊。

射門準確性和球的移動使這場比賽變得不同。湖人隊在這兩方面都取得了勝利，他們的投籃命中率為 48%，其中 41% 為內線投籃，並創造了 28 次助攻。火箭隊的情況就不一樣了，他們只成功了 41% 的機會，其中包括 28% 的三分球命中率，並送出了 21 次助攻。

洛杉磯隊有五名球員得分上雙，其中包括詹姆斯。他最終得到29分、13個籃板、6次助攻、3次抄截和1次阻攻。他全場22投10中，其中三分球9投4中，罰球線6投5中。八村塁拿下22分和4個籃板，馬庫斯·斯馬特得到21分和10次助攻，盧克·肯納德得到14分和6次助攻，賈克森·海耶斯得到12分和4個籃板。

湖人隊希望在第四場比賽中對陣火箭隊時完成橫掃。比賽將於美國東部時間 4 月 26 日晚上 9:30 開始。

阿賈克斯後衛富保武宏公開了他在阿森納的傷病掙扎，以及他在槍手的時光沒有按照他想要的方式進行的揮之不去的沮喪。

阿賈克斯秀時間 (Ajax Showtime) 今天報導了這位 27 歲後衛在接受阿賈克斯生活 (Ajax Life) 採訪時的評論。在酋長球場度過了令人沮喪的幾年後，他正試圖在荷蘭俱樂部重建自己的職業生涯。

傷病困擾毀了阿森納的故事

富保武宏在阿森納的日子一開始很順利，但這種勢頭並沒有持續太久。一連串的小腿和膝蓋受傷阻礙了他的進步，讓他只能為了保持上場狀態而奮鬥。

自19/20賽季以來，這名後衛每個賽季至少缺席7場比賽。他已經至少有 57 天沒有參加比賽了。他缺席最長的一次。 2024/25賽季，總共435天有3次傷病，總共缺席57場比賽。

這並不是這位日本國腳自己所想的。他承認這很難接受。

「我從來沒有想過我會在阿森納受到如此嚴重的打擊，因為我實際上對自己的身體非常小心，」他說。

「也許比其他人都更重要。在倫敦的前六個月非常棒。我正在實現夢想。

「四年裡，我平均打了大約二十場比賽。通常情況下，一個賽季已經接近六十場了。事後看來，這不是我想在那裡創造的記憶。但事實就是如此。”

這名後衛表示，他仍然不完全明白為什麼自己的身體經常崩潰。

“如果我處理不當，我也會理解。有些球員在賽後聚會卻從未受傷。我根本沒有做任何瘋狂的事情，但這件事卻發生在我身上。你會暫時感到沮喪。”

接受、耐心與新的視角

這位27歲的球員最終在去年夏天與阿森納達成協議終止合約。隨後他以自由球員身份度過了五個月，然後在 12 月加盟阿賈克斯。

此後他代表荷蘭俱樂部在所有比賽中出場七次，總共出場 205 分鐘。

這些不是他所希望的數字，但他堅持認為他現在已經達到了接受的程度。這讓他在離開阿森納後繼續前進。

「如果你放棄了，那就結束了。所以，你就不要停下來！」他說。 “最終你會意識到，在生活中，事情的發生是你無法控制的。為此生氣有什麼意義呢？生活還要繼續。”

他解釋了他如何在長時間遠離球場的情況下改變自己的心態。

「每天都有一些你可以做的事情。例如，如果你不在球場上，你可以去健身房。或者你去與家人和朋友共度時光。我必須……要有耐心。”

本的背景

賴斯於 2024 年 6 月首次登上大滿貫賽場，當時的氣氛有些大張旗鼓。這位來自馬薩諸塞州科哈塞特的人在新英格蘭敵後長大，是一名洋基隊球迷，他的左手揮桿似乎非常適合洋基體育場著名的短右外野門廊。

在 2024 年小聯盟期間，賴斯打擊率為 0.273，擊出 24 支全壘打，長打率為 0.567。

他在大聯盟的第一次擊球中擊出安打，並於 2024 年 7 月 6 日成為洋基隊歷史上第一位在一場比賽中擊出三支全壘打的新秀。他參加了 50 場比賽，打出 26 支安打、23 分打點和 7 支全壘打。儘管這不是最好的新秀賽季，但賴斯以 0.613 OPS 的成績結束了比賽，他展現了潛力。

在 2025 年春訓中表現出色後，他進入了開幕日名單並打了 138 場比賽。他繼續以 0.499 的成績打出 0.836 的 OPS、26 支全壘打和 58 支外壘安打——這對於二年級賽季來說是非常令人印象深刻的數字。

儘管取得了成功，賴斯也被視為棒球界最不幸的擊球手之一。他不斷地用好木頭擊球，但他的許多飛球都被困在警告軌道上，這種類型讓洋基體育場的觀眾站起來又坐下來。他的 xSLG 為 0.557，xwOBA 為 0.397，均位於 MLB 前 4% 之內。賴斯取得了出色的成績，但他本可以做得更好。

所以，洋基球迷仍然相信，隨著更多的上場時間，他可以成為陣容中的重要一員。

賴斯2026年的貢獻

在本賽季的前四個星期，賴斯一直是洋基隊最穩定的擊球手。他打出 8 支全壘打，打出 18 支全壘打，在 OPS、長打率和上壘率方面均排名聯盟第二，在各個類別中僅次於約丹·阿爾瓦雷斯。

在 Baseball Savant 的大多數擊球排名中，賴斯都處於第 89 個百分位或更高的位置，他的許多安打都為紐約帶來了重大時刻。他在球隊賽季揭幕戰橫掃巨人隊的最後一場比賽中打出了兩分二壘安打，而他本賽季的第一個本壘打是確保系列賽戰勝水手隊的重要保障。

Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy did everything he could to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning past the Montreal Canadiens in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round series on Friday night at the Bell Centre. This was not enough.

Vasilevskiy denied three Montreal breakaways in regulation, but he never saw Montreal defenseman Len Hutson’s slap shot from the right point as it passed multiple bodies and into the net 2:08 into overtime to give the Canadiens a 3–2 win and a 2–1 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Alexandre Texier, who opened the scoring early in the first period, flicked a shot back to Hutson, and the 2025 Calder Trophy winner produced a rocket that found its way through a half-dozen bodies and into the net.

Brayden Point and Brandon Hagel scored for the Lightning. Hagel’s goal early in the second period put Tampa Bay ahead 2–1, but Kirby Dach put the Canadiens even at 12:43. Vasilevskiy finished with 26 saves on 29 shots; Montreal rookie Jacob Dobbs faced only 17 shots and stopped 15.

This was the third consecutive overtime game in the series, the first for the Lightning since entering the NHL in 1992. The Canadiens had not gone to OT in three straight playoff games since Games 2, 3 and 4 of the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals – they won all three en route to their most recent championship. It was the first time that an NHL playoff series began with three straight overtime games since the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals did so in 2021.

The teams split OT wins in Games 1 and 2 at Benchmark International Arena, with the Canadiens winning 4–3 in the opener and Tampa Bay taking the series with a 3–2 win in Game 2. The Lightning have not won consecutive playoff games since the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers.

They will try to even the series on Sunday night in Montreal.

The sellout crowd of 20,962 was roaring from the moment Canadiens legend Yvan Cournoyer took the torch to lead Montreal onto the ice. This became even more intense when his heroes gained a quick lead.

Zach Bolduc moved the puck to the right circle and saw that Texier was late in the middle, with no Lightning defender there to pick him up. Bolduc fed a pass onto Texier’s stick for a perfect shot from the slot that took the top corner past Vasilevskiy’s glove at 4:53, giving Montreal the lead 1–0.

But this lead did not last long. Dobbs was called for fouling Yanni Gourde, and the Lightning capitalized at 7:42 when Point found space in the slot, took a pass from Jake Guentzel and one-timed it into the net for a 1–1 tie.

The Lightning got another power play 30 seconds after the goal when Dach was called for tripping but produced very little power. Montreal had a good chance after Nikita Kucherov took an unnecessary tripping penalty at 12:23, and the Lightning again failed to convert after Mike Matheson took a hooking penalty at 19:11.

Tampa Bay dominated the game for the first few minutes of the second period and led 2–1 at the 4:47 mark. Hagel picked up a pass from Jake Evans in the neutral zone, raced to the left circle and surprised Dobbs with a quick shot that beat him on the short side for his fourth goal of the series.

Vasilevsky maintained the lead just over a minute later by stopping Montreal rookie Ivan Demidov on a breakaway. Demidov, who led all NHL rookies with 62 points during the regular season, gave the Lightning their fourth power play at 9:59 when he carelessly high-sticked Ryan McDonagh, but Tampa Bay could not take advantage.

This set the stage for the Canadiens to even the score. Vasilevskiy blocked Dach from the slot, but the puck went along the right board. Dach tracked him down and fired through the maze of bodies; Vasilevskiy never saw the puck, which deflected off McDonagh and into the net at 12:43, making the score 2–2.

Tampa Bay spent most of the remaining period killing penalties. Hegel was called for holding a stick at 14:05, Emil Lilleberg was sent for hooking at 16:14 and Darren Raddish was called for a high-sticking minor at 19:29.

Montreal outshot the Bolts 13–7 in the middle period, and Tampa Bay did not have a single shot on goal until the final 13:25.

Vasilevskiy was the biggest reason the Lightning forced overtime despite being outshot 21-11 in the final two periods, including 8-4 in the third when he faced two more breakaways.

Cole Caufield, the 51-goal scorer during the regular season, came in alone at 3:29, but Vasilevskiy came out to challenge him, but was unsuccessful. Josh Anderson took a breakaway pass coming out of the penalty box midway through the period, but Vasilevskiy did not fake the pass and made a wrist save from his close range.

According to Natural Stat Trick, the Bolts applied little pressure on Dobbs and had only three high-danger scoring chances over the course of 60 minutes. Hutson’s game-winner came on the only shot in overtime.

Key takeaways after Canadiens top Lightning in OT to win Game 3

wasting a precious gem

The Lightning couldn’t have asked for anything more from their future Hall of Fame goaltender. They did everything but stand on their heads as Hegel’s goal put them ahead 2–1, despite managing all five shots on goal.

Dach’s tying goal came after “Vesey” made a big stop on him – and as was the case with Hutson’s game-winner, No. 88 never saw the shot due to the series of bodies in front of him.

Tampa Bay did almost nothing offensively after the first five minutes of the second period and only the play of Vasilevskiy gave them a chance to win.

Hagel and linemates need help

The Lightning scored eight goals in the first three games of this series. Hagel has four of them, assisted on the fifth and has been on the ice for all eight. For good measure, he also became the first player in Lightning history to get a Gordie Howe hat trick (goal/assist/fighting major) in Game 2.

His goal in Game 3 was an unassisted gem, ending with a spectacular shot that completely caught Dobbs by surprise.

Hegel and his teammates, Guentzel (five points, all assists) and Nikita Kucherov (four points; one goal, three assists) each had 14 points. The other three in a row combined have three (point goal and two assists) by Anthony Cirelli in Game 2. This is not a formula for playoff success.

too much punishment

The Lightning’s penalty-killers could use the day off before Sunday’s game.

Tampa Bay did a great job of shutting down all four Montreal power plays in Game 3, including three in a span of just over five minutes in the second period. They limited the Canadiens to five shots on goal during four shutouts and were generally successful in keeping Montreal out. This was a huge change from earlier in the series, when the Lightning surrendered four power-play goals on the Canadiens’ first six opportunities.

But eight minutes of power-play time for the Canadiens meant Tampa Bay had to keep top offensive players like Kucherov on the bench. He played only 41 seconds over the course of 9:59 spanning the second and third periods – most of which Tampa Bay played down a man. Not having your top players in tie games is no way to be successful, especially in the playoffs.

The first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night always attracts the most attention, especially when you get as many surprises as we saw last night. However, every year it is the second day that proves to be the most meaningful as this is where many of the gems are found.

Let’s take a look at our winners and losers for Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Winner: Buffalo Bills

If the Buffalo Bills had taken Clemson edge defender TJ Parker with their first round pick, he would have received a B- grade. Although he is not an exceptional athlete, the 6-foot-3 athlete knows how to win with his strength, and his arm length and hand usage make him very effective in penetrating the backfield. Parker also provides a relentless motor, and it shows him being a capable run defender. So, Buffalo got a potential talent and upside pick in the first round, and they snagged him in the second round after falling three times and adding a ton of picks on days two and three.

Loser: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee

The last two nights have been a reminder of how one injury can erase everything for such a promising talent. Back to December 2024: Jermod McCoy is coming off an All-American season and is projected to be a top 10 pick each year. Then he injured his knee during offseason workouts and everything derailed. He’ll miss the entire 2025 season, and reports came out last night that NFL teams are very concerned about a “bone plug used to repair a cartilage defect” in the same knee. The fear is that he will need another surgery in the future. The surgery will end the season and some even fear it could end his career.

RELATED: Highlights from Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft

Winner: Shadure Sanders, QB, Cleveland Browns

The first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft were not only a vote of confidence from the Cleveland Browns organization in Shedur Sanders, but they are also putting him in a better position to succeed. Todd Monken’s offense now features an explosive receiver who gets open quickly (Casey Concepcion) and a big-bodied wideout who can catch anything thrown in his general direction (Denzel Boston). Oh, Sanders also has a better offensive line to protect him next season. He may not be a long-term starter in Cleveland, but the Browns draft picks in 2026 give Sanders a legitimate chance to prove himself this season.

Loser: Jacksonville Jaguars

The good news for the Jacksonville Jaguars is that select tight end Nate Borkircher made a run that forced other teams to take some picks to end Round 2. Borkircher is a solid blocker, and he looks for opportunities to get physical with defenders. The ‘good’ here for Jacksonville is that they got a legitimate TE2 to pair with Brenton Strange. But at what cost? It was a reach with the 56th overall pick. Notably, NFL insiders also told Yahoo Sports’ Charles Robinson during the other day’s live stream that Boerkircher doesn’t really have size either.

Winner: Terrell Family and Atlanta Falcons

In 2020, the Atlanta Falcons selected cornerback AJ Terrell with the 16th overall pick. Six years later, he’s become one of the franchise’s best players and a stalwart in the secondary, and now he gets a chance to play alongside his younger brother. Avion Terrell would have been a first-round pick if not for the pre-draft process when he ran a 4.64 40-yard dash at his pro day. 40 Don’t let time fool you; He is a very good football player. He also idolizes his brother, wearing his jersey number on his way to the NFL. Now they have the opportunity to be teammates, which is a dream scenario for the entire family. Seeing Terrell get selected and celebrate with his family was one of the best moments in the 2026 NFL Draft, and this selection at 48th overall is excellent value.

Loser: 2026 NFL Draft QB and RB class

Jeremiah Love and Fernando Mendoza were the consensus top-four prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft, and they naturally went in the first three selections. After that, the Ty Simpson selection by the Los Angeles Rams was universally questioned, and the Seattle Seahawks were mocked for using the 32nd overall selection on Jadarion Price. Those prospects were several levels above their peers at quarterback and running back. Carson Beck, who plans to be a career backup, was within reach of the Arizona Cardinals with the 65th overall pick. Additionally, we didn’t see any running backs or quarterbacks between picks 33 to 75. Drew Allar came off the board with the 76th overall pick, but nothing he showed at Penn State suggests the Pittsburgh Steelers will ever be able to magically develop him and really take advantage of his physical tools.

Winner: Philadelphia Eagles

As always, Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman made magic the other day. The moves also occurred within minutes of each other. In need of a long-term replacement for Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia snatched up Eli Stowers with the 54th overall pick. He doesn’t bring anything in the way of a blocker, but the athleticism he brings at 6-foot-3 is nearly unmatched in this class. Just find ways to get the football in his hands, and he can be dangerous with it. What a strong night for the Eagles front office, but this is the norm for them in the NFL Draft.

Loser: Pittsburgh Steelers

We still don’t believe the Pittsburgh Steelers have a long-term starting quarterback on the roster. Drew Allar boasts the size and arm strength you want, and Mike McCarthy’s track record of getting more out of his young signal-callers at least offers some hope for Allar’s development. That said, this was a three-year starter at Penn State who hasn’t really shown any signs of improvement, and his mechanics are still a mess. We see no reason to believe so; Given the lack of improvement in defensive diagnostics and play within rhythm, we think Elar will be a swing-and-a-miss for Pittsburgh. Additionally, this selection now signals that the team already doesn’t feel Will Howard can be a long-term starter.

Winner: Indianapolis Colts

Dealing without a first-round pick, Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard faced extra pressure Friday night because he was on the hot seat. It’s early, but the Colts are poised to be one of the winners of the 2026 NFL Draft. At No. 53, Indianapolis landed a starting off-ball linebacker in C.J. Allen. You can immediately understand why Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo loved Allen, given that he is extremely intelligent and has served as team captain for Georgia’s defense. He will be a liability in pass coverage, which Colts fans are accustomed to, but he is a very smart football player who will make an impact defending the run, and he will make great plays from time to time as a blitzer.

Following that pickup, Indianapolis landed LSU Tigers safety AJ Holsey in Round 3 with the 78th overall pick. He provides good awareness of ball skills to the match. What he brings to the table is ideal for zone coverage, and you can bet Anarumo will allow him to rotate deep and maximize that excellent experience where the football is at all times. The Colts returned two quality defensive starters on day two.

Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft will really help shape the future of the National Football League. There are always Day 2 selections that prove to be massive hits for clubs every year and these selections also shed light on how the front office views the needs and future of the team.

As tonight’s action comes to a close, we’re providing some analysis on what we learned from tonight’s selections. The lessons outline how general managers and scouts view the 2026 NFL Draft class.

Let’s take a look at the takeaways from Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Houston Texans’ defense will be even more impressive in 2026

In 2025, the Houston Texans defense allowed the third-fewest total yards per drive (25.4) and second-fewest points per drive (1.54), all with the fourth-highest takeaway rate (14.6 percent) in the NFL. All of this was accomplished without getting a truly spectacular output from Demeco Ryans’ interior. That’s about to change. Kayden McDonald has been overshadowed by Ohio State’s stout defense, but he is an absolute force as a starter. A year after the Texans allowed the seventh-lowest rush success rate (37.7 percent), this could be a top-five run defense. That means a lot more second- and third-and-longs, which means the Texans’ pass rush gets more treats. Houston’s defense is going to be an even bigger problem for the rest of the league.

Teams excited by 2027 NFL Draft class

How high are NFL teams taking the 2027 class compared to the 2026 NFL Draft class? Just look at how few future picks were made over the last two nights. Historically, general managers have considered the current selection one round more valuable than a future selection. Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith is clearly a generational talent, a Julio Jones-caliber offensive prospect. Next year’s class is also more deep at running back, quarterback and wide receiver. There is some discussion among analysts that the 2027 class could be one of the strongest and deepest in recent years. This opinion seems to be shared based on how teams have dealt with their future draft capital.

The Cleveland Browns believe in Shedure Sanders

It’s become very clear that Todd Monken was telling the truth about his confidence in quarterback Shadure Sanders. While the front office believes there will be a starting quarterback battle, Sanders is the favorite, and Cleveland has invested premium draft capital in his support. Just look at how much better the supporting cast is now. Spencer Fano is a plug-and-play starter who should at least be serviceable at left tackle as a rookie, and his ceiling exceeds that. The Browns then doubled up at wide receiver, giving Sanders a YAC threat in Casey Concepcion who can get open quickly and complementing it with 6-foot-3 wideout Denzel Boston, who has some shades of Courtland Sutton, with glue-like hands and a huge catch radius. Boston and Concepcion help the quarterback in different ways and that’s what Sanders needed.

Philadelphia Eagles find their Jaylen Phillips replacement

The Philadelphia Eagles definitely wanted to bring back Jaylen Phillips, but the Carolina Panthers pushed the bidding war to a price that couldn’t be compared. Fast forward to the 2026 NFL Draft: Philadelphia flipped the 98th overall pick and a 2027 third-round selection to the Minnesota Vikings for edge rusher Jonathan Greenard. He only had 3 sacks last season, but was a double-digit sack player in the last two campaigns. He’s an above-average rusher, and the Eagles clearly believe he can return to his 2023-24 form, as evidenced by his $100 million contract extension.

NFL teams love TE class, hate 2026 QB and RB prospects

NFL free agency is usually a good indicator of how teams view certain positions in the upcoming draft class. A few months ago, Travis Etienne and Kenneth Walker got paid, while Keaton Mitchell, Rico Dowdle, Kenneth Gainwell, Rachad White, Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Zeke Dobbins were off the board early. Similarly, many quarterbacks found new homes and backups made good money. All this shows that NFL teams didn’t like quarterback and running back prospects other than blue-chip talent this year. That proved to be the case for only one of those taken in the first 75 picks (quarterback Carson Beck).

Meanwhile, Kenyon Saadiq was taken with the 16th overall pick on Thursday night, and we saw a run at tight ends in the middle of Day 2. From the 54th to the 73rd overall pick, six tight ends came off the board. There was a long stretch in the NFL where tight ends looked pretty thin. That’s no longer the case, and it’s clear that teams are placing more emphasis on 2TE sets.

Minnesota Vikings All In Brian Flores Front Seven

Based on the Minnesota Vikings draft selections this year you would think Brian Flores is the head coach, not Kevin O’Connell. Minnesota took a big gamble in Round 1 on defensive tackle Caleb Banks, betting on his elite size and athleticism to have success in Flores’ system and ignoring long-term injury concerns with his foot. On the second day, the Vikings landed linebacker Jake Golde. It’s another bet on explosiveness and size, with Golde (6-foot-4 and 1.60 10-yard dash) really showcasing that ability as a blitzer. In Round 3, Minnesota added some significant beef to the interior by landing Dominique Orange. Standing at 6-foot-2 and over 320 pounds, he is a classic nose tackle who makes his presence felt in the run. Minnesota will once again boast one of the league’s best defenses in 2026.

由於盧卡·東契奇和奧斯汀·裡維斯的受傷，勒布朗和布朗尼·詹姆斯繼續為洛杉磯湖人隊獲得上場時間，這讓這對父子在過去幾周里度過了一些美好的時光。由於和兒子一起打球的樂趣，勒布朗有時看起來年輕了 10 歲，如果這對他的比賽有幫助的話，湖人隊很樂意給他這些時間。

週五晚上，兩人再次聯手，在對陣休士頓火箭隊的比賽中，勒布朗在快攻中找到布朗尼上籃空中接力。從常規賽末段開始，他們已經取得了長足的進步，當時他們聯手完成了 NBA 歷史上第一次的父子助攻。

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) 2026 年 4 月 25 日

布朗尼在常規賽 42 場比賽中場均上場 8.9 分鐘，而季後賽場均上場時間為 3.5 分鐘。這位後衛仍然不是湖人隊輪換陣容中的關鍵球員，但在 2024 年 NBA 選秀之後，他距離被嘲笑已經有很長的路要走。

詹姆斯在這些季後賽中表現出色，場均上場近40分鐘，得到23.5分、10次助攻和8個籃板。在追求再奪一個 NBA 總冠軍的過程中，詹姆斯認識到湖人隊需要他在東契奇和李維斯缺陣的情況下繼續努力，而他已經做到了。

湖人隊在後衛缺陣的情況下並沒有錯過任何一次機會，但如果他們計劃走得更遠，他們將需要他們的健康。由於凱文杜蘭特在火箭隊受傷，休士頓隊已經無法與洛杉磯隊匹敵。

The Montreal Canadiens host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night, with the winner looking to emerge with a commanding 2-1 series lead.

As is tradition, the Canadiens held a spectacular ceremony, with team legend Yvan Cournoyer also in attendance. Not that they needed much help, but thanks to the Roadrunners, the Bell Center faithful immediately created a great atmosphere in another intense matchup.

It was another tied game, with the Canadiens taking the series lead thanks to an overtime goal by phenom Lane Hutson.

Let’s look at the highlights!

secondary scoring

Frenchman Alexandre Texier took the early lead for the Canadiens, taking advantage of a smart game that featured great assists from Zachary Bolduc and Kirby Dach.

The goal was Montreal’s third at 5v5 in this series, the first two goals coming from fourth-line winger Josh Anderson.

Considering that the first line has struggled to generate any sort of sustainable offense, getting production from the bottom six is ​​a significant boon for the Habs.

responding to adverse circumstances

Even though the Canadiens controlled the majority of quality scoring opportunities at 5v5, a recurring theme in this series, the Lightning erased their lead, and quickly established one of their own.

It was the type of situation that could frustrate many teams, but the Habs are at their best when responding to adversity, as evidenced by Kirby Dach’s first goal of the series.

It wasn’t good, but it got the home team back in the mix early, and momentum returned to Montreal’s corner. Additionally, it was another goal away from the bottom six, just what the doctor ordered for a top-lined team starving for goals.

With all due respect to Nikita Kucherov, who is clearly one of the most talented players in the league, it’s not easy to account for his demise.

His constant pranks are one thing, but when you combine his elite level nonsense with the fact that he has the personality of a frozen bag of carrots, it’s pretty obvious why he’s one of the least friendly players in the league.

On a completely unrelated note, which is obviously devoid of any meanness on my part, enjoy this attempt at Kucherov’s hit.

Surprisingly, or not, the game required extra time, marking the third consecutive time that these teams failed to find a winner in regulation.

All that matters in these scenarios is the ultimate game winner, but it should be mentioned that the Canadiens were the better team at 5v5, as they outshot the Lightning by a wider margin than in the previous two games.

Montreal’s strong effort was rewarded in overtime, where Hutson scored his second goal of the playoffs to give his team a comfortable 2–1 series lead.

裁判們審查了布朗的行為，看看這是否只是普通犯規，但他們裁定凱爾特人後衛沒有惡意。當布朗試圖進入他的投籃時，這看起來只是一次意外的腰帶以下接觸。

儘管留在球場上，喬治仍然能夠留在比賽中。上半場結束時，76人隊所有五名先發球員的得分都接近兩位數。然而，塞爾提克最後時刻的反擊重新確立了七分的領先優勢。

第四場比賽對於76人隊來說是一場關鍵的搖擺比賽，尤其是在恩比德即將回歸的情況下。如果費城能夠找到贏得這場比賽的方法，他們一定會對自己前進的機會感到非常高興。

Tyrese Maxey 和 VJ Edgecombe 是 76 人隊有望在系列賽中爆冷的重要原因。然而，保羅喬治的全能比賽為費城隊阻止凱爾特人隊的進攻火力提供了巨大幫助，這使得他的健康成為重中之重。

Houston Rockets And Kevin Durant has a tough task ahead of him Los Angeles Lakers City are coming in and trying to take a commanding 3-0 lead over them in their first round playoff series. So, all eyes will be on Durant and how he responds after one of the worst stretches of his NBA career.

LeBron James has dominated his way into this series, but the Lakers have got excellent, timely performances from Luke Kennard (27 points in Game 1) and Marcus Smart (25 points in Game 2).

Meanwhile, Kevin Durant only played in Game 2 and while he finished with a strong line in the contest, he had one of his worst outings leading to the Rockets’ second straight loss.

The two-time NBA champion finished Game 2 with 23 points, six rebounds and four assists while shooting 7 of 12 from the field. But he had a career high with nine turnovers in the game, scoring only three points with five turnovers in the entire second half.

This was because the Lakers repeatedly used the tactic of double-teaming him, testing his decision-making abilities while forcing his Houston teammates to try to beat them.

But before Game 3, Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. was asked how the team can help Durant get involved offensively as he sees more and more double-teaming in the half-court. However, Smith’s reaction to his partner’s distress was quite surprising.

Jabari Smith Jr. gives surprising advice to Durant’s double-teaming trap

Responding to reporters who asked him what could be done to assist Kevin Durant in light of facing double teams, Smith Jr. said:

“They try to stop him and other guys have to be aggressive, so we have to be aggressive with that.”

“We’ve got to study it right, make the right decisions. And it’s on him to find ways to get himself involved and get to his spots without getting double-teamed.”

But then, Jabari Smith Jr. essentially seemed to tell Durant to come up with a solution himself, causing fans to lose their minds on social media.

“Just because he’s getting double-teamed, we still need him to be his KD, you know? There’s still ways around it, and we’ve got some solutions [the trapping of Durant]And we’ll get better the next two games,” Smith Jr. said.

Basketball fans react to Smith Jr.’s KD advice

His comments brought a ton of reactions from fans, many of whom were reminded of Durant’s recent chat about Jabari Smith.

“Kevin Durant you were the right guy,” one fan said along with crying emojis and a screenshot of Durant’s burner account DMs that surfaced during the NBA All-Star break.

Another fan said, “KD heard Jabari call him that and suddenly ankle injury pops up out of thin air lmao bro if you feel like that I’m leaving all y’all boys to die.”

Reactions varied widely, with some opining that KD could not be blamed when his teammates were absent in action.

NBA reporter Brett Siegel said, “Not sure why Kevin Durant has a problem when his teammates can’t catch the ball.”

One fan commented, “Open shots bro. Fuck everything else.”

Another fan wrote, “The chemistry on that team is worse than the Lakers in 2004.”

Another fan said, “These guys’ chemistry is in the gutter.”

However, it will be interesting to see how Kevin Durant Finds a solution to avoid these double teams. Game 3 is scheduled for Friday night at 5 PM PST, and it will be the Rockets’ last stand before the series wraps up.

由於休士頓火箭隊球星凱文杜蘭特在周五晚上對陣洛杉磯湖人隊的第三場比賽中被排除在外，由於這位前鋒在季後賽中又缺席了一場比賽，這一消息震驚了人們。在火箭隊以0-2落後湖人隊的情況下，人們想知道杜蘭特發生了什麼，因為他腳踝受傷的那一刻已經被發現了。

在第二場比賽的第四節，比賽還剩七分多鐘時，杜蘭特試圖搶籃板，但他因左腳踝轉動而笨拙地停了下來。

杜蘭特在比賽中出場 41 分鐘，12 投 7 中，其中 4 分來自三分線外，得到 23 分，同時還有 6 個籃板和 4 次助攻。這位經驗豐富的球星在這場失利中出現了驚人的九次失誤。

根據ESPN記者沙姆斯·查拉尼亞報道，如今，在系列賽0-3落後的威脅下，杜蘭特將因左腳踝扭傷缺席對陣湖人隊的第三場比賽。

「消息人士告訴 ESPN，休士頓隊的凱文杜蘭特因左腳踝扭傷而缺席今晚對陣洛杉磯湖人隊的第三場比賽，」查拉尼亞在 X（前 Twitter）上寫道。

不可否認的是，休士頓在季後賽系列賽中表現得多麼令人失望，尤其是當杜蘭特在第二場比賽中保持健康，在背靠背比賽中得分低於 100 分的情況下。這也是因為洛杉磯仍然沒有球星盧卡·東契奇和奧斯汀·裡維斯。

無論如何，杜蘭特希望火箭隊能夠在第三場比賽中保持穩定，在主場取得勝利，然後他可以在周日的第四場比賽中復出。杜蘭特缺席了多少時間還有待觀察。

Ahead of this week’s edition of SmackDown, multiple reports have revealed a new round of WWE roster cuts, including several members of the Wyatt Six.

Spring is a prime time during the WWE calendar as it includes the all-important road to WrestleMania. The annual mega event often serves as the conclusion of several major ongoing storylines, and the beginning of a new direction for the company in the days to come. It also comes with an audit of the current roster.

While this time of year is a high point for fans, it’s also usually a time for artists to be concerned about their spot on the roster. On Friday, several WWE stars learned that their services will no longer be needed.

The most notable releases that have been confirmed are the three members of the Wyatt Six. They are their leaders, Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy, Joe Gacy and Nikki Cross. It is unclear whether the remaining members of the team, Erick Rowan and Dexter Lumis, will also be included in the cuts or will remain in the company with New Directions.

The sole member of Chelsea Green’s Secret Her-Vice, Alba Phair, confirmed that her time at the company is coming to an end. Injured former Women’s Title contender Zoey Stark has also parted ways with WWE, and NXT veteran and Chase U leader Andre Chase revealed in an X-post that he too has been added to the roster.

A total of six performers were added to Friday’s WWE roster cuts. More releases may emerge in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Through three games, atlanta hawks saved by a hair’s breadth new York Knicks As they took their lead in the series to 2-1. There was another nervy situation at the end of Game 3, but the Hawks were able to prevail in the end and win 109–108.

A number of players have been instrumental in the team’s performance in the series, one of them being Jonathan Kuminga and his impact on the bench.

Kuminga had a good performance in Game 3, but some fans are still looking at a small step he made in Game 2, which helped the Hawks steal a lead on the road.

On one of the final possessions where Nickeil Alexander-Walker swiped the ball from Knicks captain Jalen Brunson, Kuminga was seen pushing his teammate toward Brunson in an effort to give him better position.

That strategy may have worked, because the Hawks got the steal and scored on the other end.

Jonathan Kuminga credits Draymond Green for winning strategy against New York Knicks

After the game, Kuminga, who will earn an average annual salary of $23,400,000 in the 2025–26 season, credited Draymond Green for his instincts to make that play.

Speaking to journalist Kevin Chouinard after the matchup, Kuminga praised Green as the source of that strategy.

“I’m going to give my praise to Drummond,” Kuminga said. “Growing up around him and watching him, I’ve seen him do it a lot of times. He’s one of the best at doing it.”

He added, “It’s something I’m not thinking about in the game, but watching someone do it over time, sometimes it just clicks.” “Nickel was still in good shape because he was able to get steals, especially with the way Nickel was playing defense.”

The Hawks sent Kuminga to help Brunson on key defensive possessions in Games 2 and 3.

紐約尼克隊在第四場比賽中並沒有陷入生死存亡的境地，但如果他們輸了，就很難擺脫困境。第三場比賽再次暴露了他們的一些弱點，其中最大的一個就是米卡爾布里奇斯基本上無法打。邁爾斯·麥克布萊德在最後時刻打出了一些關鍵球，幫助尼克斯隊重新回到比賽中。

儘管尼克斯仍然以109-108落敗，但他們在麥克布萊德身上發現了一些東西，這引發了邁克布朗是否會在第四場比賽中對首發陣容進行一些改變的問題。

「這將是比賽時的決定。就像我昨晚說的，一切都擺在桌面上，」布朗透過體育界的詹姆斯愛德華茲三世說道。 “我做出的任何決定，我都會考慮所有的利弊。”

看看布朗會做什麼將會很有趣，但在這一點上，他可能沒有選擇做出一些改變。布里奇斯在第三場比賽出賽21分鐘，得到0分、1個籃板、2次助攻和4次失誤。

布里奇斯在賽後談到了他的表現，並知道他必須打得更好才能繼續前進。

“我的失誤更多 [today] 比我前兩場比賽的總和還多。總體而言，布里奇斯透過《紐約每日新聞》的克里斯蒂安·溫菲爾德表示，“總體來說很馬虎。”“對我來說，這是一個糟糕的營業日。我得把它清理乾淨。就在我身上。”

事後看來，尼克隊可能希望布里奇斯加強他的表現，尤其是考慮到他們在兩個賽季前為得到他而放棄的東西。不幸的是，他似乎無法在場上找到節奏，他對球隊的傷害多於對他們的幫助。

如果他被調到替補席上，希望他能加入第二陣容並產生影響。

The Toronto Raptors picked up an impressive and convincing win in Game 3 of their first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The home team led 47–23 in the second half and won 126–104. They are now trailing 2-1 in the series.

However, the team received some bad news on the injury front on Friday, as they learned they will be without point guard Immanuel Quickley for the remainder of the series, no matter how long it takes.

Quickley has apparently suffered a setback in his rehab with a right hamstring injury and will remain on the sidelines indefinitely.

The 26-year-old player averaged 16.4 points per game in 70 contests this season. He had a career-high 5.9 assists, while also adding 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. He shot 37.4% from three-point range.

Quickley will miss the entire first round series

The speedy guard’s presence was missed in the first two matches of the series. In Game 3, however, Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett exploded for 33 points apiece, while rookie Collin Murray-Boyles came off the bench with 22 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes.

Backup point Jamal Sheed will continue to see starter’s minutes in Quickley’s absence. After playing an average of 22 minutes per night during the regular season, Shead has played 32 minutes per contest in the first three games of the series.

Additionally, players like Ja’Kobe Walter (27.2 mpg) and Jamison Battle will see an increase in usage. After playing only three minutes total in the first two games, Battle broke out in Game 3 by finishing four three-pointers in clutch minutes to help ice the game for the Raptors. They will need both of them to continue to pick up the slack for Quickley, especially shooting from beyond the arc. Sheed has hit 6 of 12 three-pointers in the series, while Battle is now 4 of 5.

The only way Quickley gets a chance to play again this season is if the Raptors pull off a massive upset of the Cavs and advance to the second round.

休士頓火箭隊面臨著一項艱鉅的任務，洛杉磯湖人隊來到這裡，希望在季後賽首輪系列賽中以 3-0 的比分領先。所有的目光都集中在凱文杜蘭特身上，以及他在經歷了 NBA 職業生涯最糟糕的下半場之一後將如何應對。

勒布朗·詹姆斯以自己的方式統治了這個系列賽，但湖人隊得到了盧克·肯納德（第一場比賽 27 分）和馬庫斯·斯馬特（第二場比賽 25 分）的精湛、及時的表現。與此同時，杜蘭特只參加了第二場比賽，雖然他在比賽中以強勢的方式結束了比賽，但他打出了最差的半場之一，直接導致了火箭隊的第二場連敗。

凱文杜蘭特在第二場比賽中12投7中，得到23分、6個籃板和4次助攻。但他也有職業生涯最高的9次失誤，整個下半場只有5次失誤，僅得到3分，湖人隊不斷對他進行包夾，考驗他的決策能力，同時迫使他的火箭隊隊友試圖擊敗他們。

在第三場比賽之前，火箭隊前鋒小賈巴里史密斯被問到，隨著他在半場看到越來越多的包夾，球隊如何幫助杜蘭特更多地參與進攻。他的回答有點令人驚訝。

「他們試圖阻止他，其他人必須表現出侵略性，所以我們必須表現出侵略性，」小史密斯在訓練中說道。 「我們必須從中做出正確的解讀，做出正確的決定。他需要找到讓自己參與進來的方法，並在沒有包夾的情況下到達自己的位置。僅僅因為他被包夾，我們仍然需要他成為杜蘭特，你知道嗎？還有辦法解決這個問題，我們有一些解決方案 [the trapping of Durant]，接下來的兩場比賽我們會做得更好。 」

小賈巴里史密斯 (Jabari Smith Jr.) 發現這很有趣。

對於凱文杜蘭特來說，僅僅通過包夾傳球是不夠的，然後相信他的隊友能夠轉換。陷入困境後火箭需要杜蘭特做什麼？
