Victor Nilsson Lindelof was a surprise signing for Aston Villa last summer, arriving on a free transfer after leaving Manchester United.

He has been at Old Trafford since 2017, but has struggled during his eight years there, with injuries limiting his impact under different managers.

However, Aston Villa planned to take him for free, as they wanted to strengthen Unai Emery’s options in a difficult summer transfer window.

The move proved smart as he became a utility player under the Spanish boss, finishing the campaign with 28 appearances and 1784 minutes in all competitions. 10 of them came in their successful Europa League campaign, where he also played as a midfielder.

No Allsvenskan move

His current deal expires next summer, but at the moment he is not interested in any talks about his future.

Asked about still playing for Aston Villa, he said: “Yeah, that’s the aim right now.”

“My body feels good, so I feel good. I’ve played with constant pain before, so being pain-free gives an extra boost.”

After this he put off the idea of ​​going to Allsvenskan in Sweden. Many Swedish players make such a move at the end of their careers, but the Aston Villa defender is not keen.

Asked about the idea, he said, “I don’t think so.”

“I don’t see myself coming home and playing in Allsvenskan. I’ve never played there, so it would be fun, but if I know myself right, I don’t think it’s possible.”

Shawn Michaels has given a direct answer to one of professional wrestling’s most frequently asked ‘what-if’ questions.

Speaking with Carmelo Anthony on 7PM in Brooklyn, Michaels explained why the dream match between him and The Rock never happened at WrestleMania, and he didn’t mince words about the reason.

“He didn’t like me,” Michaels said. “I think over the years that he’s had, there’s been a big feud in the wrestling business with Hunter and I doing things to him, being mean and things like that. It’s all been blown out of proportion. None of it was perfect, but these were things that he was fed a lot of when he was younger. But afterward, and to this day, we get along with each other, and we talk about things.”

Michaels blamed the feud on the misinformation given to Rock early in his career and alleged that Michaels and Triple H mistreated him. He strongly hit back at those accounts, calling them inaccurate and exaggerated, while acknowledging that this perception shaped Rock’s feelings towards him for a significant period. The two have since moved on, with Michaels noting that they still meet and talk with each other today.

Even if personal issues had been resolved sooner, time would have made the match impossible. By the time Michaels returned from the back injury that had sidelined him for several years, The Rock had already made the transition to Hollywood and was no longer a full-time presence in WWE.

“I think everyone would love to see it,” Michaels said. “But by the time I came back, he was pretty far along with his Hollywood career and things like that.”

Despite never having a match, Michaels spoke about the Rock with admiration. When he was asked to compare the two, he avoided the question without any hesitation. “What are you going to say? I mean, the guy came in, and I remember seeing him for the first time on Saturday Night Live and I was thinking to myself, Holy cow, this guy is going to be a huge star,” Michaels said.

Michaels also reflected on Rock’s early WWE performance, when he was introduced to the audience as Rocky Johnson’s son and received chants of “Rocky sucks” from the crowd, who had not yet sold for him.

Michaels said, “When he first got there, he was getting a lot of ‘Rocky Sucks’ chants and stuff like that. So there was always ribbing in the locker room and stuff like that.” According to Michaels, Rock’s reaction to that rejection ultimately defined his career path. “They recognized it and realized you had to come back with something tougher, something more aggressive. And then they changed it. And when they did that, and they put them with the Nation, they really started to take off from there.”

The fact that Jayson Tatum returned to the hardwood for the Boston Celtics even a year after rupturing his Achilles in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs is such a huge win not only for the Celtics, but for the entire game. Tatum obviously isn’t fully back yet, but his mere presence makes the Celtics a more dangerous team than ever during the 2025-26 season.

There was a lot of hype surrounding Tatum’s return, as it had been rumored for almost the entire season that he might make his highly anticipated return sooner than many expected. But in his absence, Jaylen Brown has stepped up to become the team’s undisputed alpha, and he has more than risen to the occasion – averaging 28.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 55 games before Tatum’s return.

With Tatum out for so long, he needed to get back on the same page to help propel the Celtics to bigger and better things. That’s exactly what they did with Brown and Tatum close together He has his eyes on the same prize.

“It was great. The initial conversation, having that communication. … It’s important to be able to get back on the same page, but it’s going to take more communication as the year goes on. Things change, we got adversity, ups and downs. We just let it be me and you,” Brown told Vince Carter and the rest of the NBC crew.

Both of them have the responsibility of leading the team as co-stars and they have done it in the past. But the Celtics star refused to be satisfied just because they won a title just two years ago.

“Our communication sets the tone for the rest of the team. We both have to step up if we want this to work,” Brown said.

“We just said it would be me and you.”

It wasn’t a good night in Colorado, as the Houston Rockets struggled in a 36-point loss to the Denver Nuggets. According to NBA Courtside, after the 129-93 loss, Kevin Durant spoke honestly about the game and whether play played a role on the back end of the back-to-back.

“Kevin Durant asked if back-to-backs played a role in loss to Denver: ‘No. No. That’s our job. We get paid to do it. Back-to-backs shouldn’t matter at all,'” NBA Courtside posted on X.

The Rockets were coming off a 113-99 win over the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night. Then, they made a change and traveled to Denver for this game. The results did not go as planned and it was the second time in a week that the Rockets faltered.

The Rockets kept it close early, trailing 24–20 after the first quarter, and 53–47 at halftime. But things quickly got out of control in the third quarter, as the Nuggets put up 40 points on them to take a 93–69 lead heading into the third. The deficit was too much for the Rockets to overcome, and Durant was not that productive.

Amen Thompson led the Rockets with 16 points on 8 of 14 shooting. Similarly, Durant added 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting. Jabari Smith Jr. had 11 points, while Alperen Sengun had 10 points. Overall, the team shot 43.3% from the floor, including just 12.1% (4 of 33) from beyond the arc. The Rockets allowed the Nuggets to shoot 55.2% from the hardwood, including 53.1% from triples.

The Rockets will have a day off Thursday and then head home for a showdown with the New Orleans Pelicans before hosting the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday.

It’s been days since Super Bowl LX, yet people are still talking about Bad Bunny’s halftime show. Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker was also asked about it.

Booker helped Team Stars win the title in the All-Star Game by defeating Team Stripes 47–21 in the finals on Sunday at the Intuit Dome. He contributed five points, three rebounds and two assists. In three games, he averaged 12 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.

During a media controversy, Booker was asked about Bad Bunny’s performance at Levi’s Stadium the previous week. The reporter also mistakenly tagged him as being of Puerto Rican descent, like Bad Bunny, so Booker had to offer a correction.

“I’m Mexican,” said the five-time All-Star. “To be honest, I didn’t see it.”

“I’m Mexican, honestly I haven’t seen it.”

For those unaware, Bad Bunny dated Booker’s ex-girlfriend Kendall Jenner from 2023 to 2024. Fans also speculated that Bad Bunny’s verse on Eladio Carrion’s “Coco Chanel” was a major shade at Booker, although he did not mention any names.

Booker appeared to praise the award-winning rapper when he posted on Instagram: “She’s worried about another man again.”

His past experience may be the reason Booker, an avid Detroit Lions fan, had no interest in watching Bad Bunny in Super Bowl LX. But this is just a theory.

Many hailed Bad Bunny’s performance as a cultural milestone for the NFL, as he became the first Latin male artist to headline a halftime show. She also sent a strong political message with her performance amid immigration issues in the United States.
