David de Gea has experienced a rebirth of sorts after leaving Manchester United. His future at Fiorentina is under threat and is attracting a lot of attention in Italy.

earlier this year, sports witness Covered the Spaniard’s comments about an Old Trafford exit. He described the break year in his career as something that changed him, helping him change his career to Florence.

He has been a regular player for two seasons and has seen ups and downs during this period.

De Gea’s current deal expires in 2028 but there are suggestions he could leave in the summer. Now it seems that only Manchester United can snatch him.

Player may wish to withdraw

Journalist Luca Calamai spoke to Caffè Nero Bolante, addressing some of the hot topics in the Florence club.

He spoke openly about De Gea’s future and suggested he was keen to stay at Fiorentina. But only a call from Manchester United would prompt him to leave in the summer.

The Italian said- via florenceviola: : “I feel like Fiorentina is a big question mark no matter which way you look at it.

“A few days ago, also thanks to the news given by Niccolo Ceccarini, we were convinced that at least with De Gea, for example, everything was decided because the player has clearly and unequivocally expressed his desire to stay in Florence, leaving only a glimpse of a return to Manchester United.”

The journalist explained that not long ago, De Gea’s future at La Viola seemed certain. But now things are not the same, Juventus is moving forward.

“Will De Gea stay? It seemed certain, but today in Turin rumors are resurfacing that De Gea is among the candidates for the Bianconeri jersey.

“There are also talks of contacts between Fiorentina and Juventus on this front, so the question is: does De Gea want to stay, but does Fiorentina want to keep him, or do they want to invest permanently in young Martinelli and save the big salary?”

In short, it seems as if everything will fall to the Spaniard. He has a long-term contract and there is no real reason for him to leave, unless a bigger club calls for him or Manchester United makes a surprise move.

no possibility of return

The future of Altay Bayindir is in doubt. His exit may leave Manchester United looking for a back-up but it is unlikely De Gea will accept that role. At Fiorentina he would get more regular first-team football.

On Sunday afternoon, the Minnesota Timberwolves suffered their fourth consecutive loss with a road loss against the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Although it did not immediately derail, the Timberwolves ultimately could not keep up with their 2025 Western Conference Finals opponents, and their freefall in the playoff standings continued.

One positive side of this game was that power forward Julius Randle was able to bounce back from a recent poor shooting slump, shooting an impressive 11-18 from the field after a recent game against the Golden State Warriors in which he had to sit on the bench.

Before the game on Sunday, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch explained how he planned to help Randle get back on track.

According to John Krawzinski of The Athletic, Finch said, “I’ve got to direct the ball more to the spots where he’s really good.” “I think we’ve gone away from that at times. I think that will definitely help him. Also, we’ll have to be a little more open-minded to each other. I think that will help, too.”

After the game, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, who spent a relatively quiet afternoon in Oklahoma City, talked about the silver lining of Randle’s bounce-back effort.

“It was a lot of fun to watch,” Edwards said. “We were just trying to get it to him as much as possible. He found his rhythm tonight, and hopefully that continues.”

Randall himself also talked about the relief he felt at being out of the recession.

“It definitely felt good to see the ball go in a little bit more today,” Randle said. “Just stay focused and consistent.”

If the Timberwolves want to continue their streak of deep playoff runs, and maybe even make it this far, Randle will have to step up his game.

The Timberwolves next play on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns.

Jason Terry knows a thing or two about excelling as a shooter.

The longtime NBA legend played 19 seasons in the league, winning the Sixth Man of the Year award during the 2008–09 season. Terry finished his career as a 38.0% shooter from beyond the arc, shooting a career-high 43.8% from 3-point range during the 2006–07 season, when the Dallas Mavericks posted the league’s best record at 67–15.

Terry currently serves as an assistant coach for the Utah Jazz, a role he has held since the 2022–23 season. One of the Jazz’s most promising young players is none other than Ace Bailey, who was their top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Bailey was selected with the fifth overall selection in the draft after averaging 17.6 points per game during his lone season at Rutgers.

In the first half of the season, the 6-foot-9 Bailey has played a key role in the rotation for the Jazz, averaging 11.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in 49 games and 38 starts. Terry has high expectations for Bailey, even comparing him to Hall of Fame guard Ray Allen when it comes to his early release.

Allen was a 10-time All-Star who is considered one of the best 3-point shooters of all time.

Terry said in a personal interview, “There are no limits for Ace Bailey, because he’s a blank canvas.” “He’s only 19 years old. He’s coming on. He’s raw, but he has supreme athleticism and shooting ability – he could be one of the great shooters from long range, when it’s all said and done. He has a quick release, and he gets it off. He gets it over quickly, kind of like a Ray Allen type of release. He doesn’t jump that high. But as far as hitting that shot. He gets it over with pretty quickly.”

So far this season, Bailey is converting 45.0% of his attempts and 34.0% of his 3-point shots. Terry said where Bailey will excel in his 3-point attempts is “coming off screens on pin downs” and shooting 3-pointers in transition.

Bailey clearly has a long way to go before he’s in the same league as Allen, but he’s getting significant playing time as part of a rebuilding effort in Utah. The 19-year-old ranks fourth in points and fifth in 3-pointers made on the Jazz.

As noted, Bailey only spent one year in college. Plus, considering Utah is in obvious rebuilding mode, he’ll have all the time in the world to develop. At 18-38, they currently sit in 13th place in the Western Conference after posting the worst record in the NBA last season at 17-65.

The sky is definitely the limit for the 6-foot-9 small forward.

杰森·特里对于成为一名出色的射手略知一二。

这位NBA老将在联盟效力了19个赛季，并在2008-09赛季赢得了年度最佳第六人奖。特里以 38.0% 的三分球命中率结束了他的职业生涯，在 2006-07 赛季，达拉斯小牛队以 67 胜 15 负的战绩创下联盟最佳战绩，三分球命中率为职业生涯最高的 43.8%。

特里目前担任犹他爵士队的助理教练，自 2022-23 赛季以来一直担任此职务。爵士队最有前途的年轻球员之一就是艾斯·贝利，他是爵士队在 2025 年 NBA 选秀中的状元秀。贝利在罗格斯大学的唯一一个赛季中场均得到 17.6 分，并在选秀中以第五顺位被选中。

整个赛季上半程，身高6英尺9英寸的贝利在爵士队的轮换阵容中发挥了关键作用，在49场比赛和38场首发中场均得到11.7分和3.9个篮板。特里对贝利寄予厚望，甚至将他与名人堂后卫雷·阿伦的快速释放进行比较。

艾伦曾十次入选全明星，被认为是有史以来最好的三分射手之一。

“艾斯·贝利没有任何限制，因为他是一张空白的画布，”特里在一对一采访中说道。 “他只有 19 岁。他正在崭露头角。他还很稚嫩，但他拥有超强的运动能力和投篮能力——总而言之，他可以成为最伟大的远距离射手之一。他出手很快，而且投篮得手。他出手很快，有点像雷阿伦式的出手。他跳得不那么高。但就投篮而言，他投篮得很快。”

本赛季到目前为止，贝利的投篮命中率为 45.0%，三分球命中率为 34.0%。特里表示，贝利在三分出手方面最擅长的是“在掩护下突破”并在攻防转换中投三分球。

贝利显然还有很长的路要走，甚至要考虑与阿伦进入同一联盟，但作为犹他州重建工作的一部分，他正在获得关键的上场时间。这位19岁的球员在爵士队的得分榜上排名第四，三分球命中数排名第五。

话虽如此，贝利只在大学呆了一年。此外，考虑到犹他州正处于明确的重建模式，他将拥有世界上所有的时间来发展。他们目前战绩为18胜38负，排在西部第13位，上赛季他们的战绩为17胜65负，为NBA最差战绩。

对于这位身高 6 英尺 9 英寸的小前锋来说，天空无疑是他的极限。

The Phoenix Suns may not have gotten the start they wanted toward the end of the season, but Jalen Green may have been a ray of hope in Thursday’s 121-94 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

He scored 26 points in 26 minutes, but it was not the point total that stood out. This was his confidence. After Green battled a hamstring injury for most of the season, the All-Star break was the perfect time to settle things down.

He also talked about using the break to get his physical condition back to 100%. Following the loss, Green stated via Duane Rankin of AZCentral that he felt he was in control of where he was.

“I feel good. It’s the first time I’ve felt this good all season,” Green said after the game.

Having Jalen Green at 100% does wonders for the Suns

His availability has been the biggest question throughout the season. In the small sample size, Green offers something that no one else on the Suns can provide.

Lethal scoring, unmatched athleticism and underrated playmaking ability. At just 24, he appears to be just scratching the surface of his potential.

Playing with Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks certainly helps him too, but Green has his own unique style of play.

No one on the team can really attack downhill like he can and put pressure on the basket. Despite “missing” some of his usual looks, the fact that he is attacking the paint with confidence is a huge positive.

With Booker missing part of Thursday’s game due to right hip soreness, Green may be the one carrying the responsibility to put the team on his back and carry him into the season finale.

The Boston Celtics take on the Golden State Warriors in the woodshed at San Francisco’s Chase Center on Thursday, with Peyton Pritchard adding even more to his team’s incredible evening.

Pritchard moved ahead on the franchise’s all-time 3-pointers list, passing the legendary Ray Allen for the No. 6 spot via Boston coverage manager Taylor Snow.

Former Oregon Ducks star Pritchard entered the Warriors game with 797 3-pointers in his NBA career with Boston, and Allen needed only one to tie the franchise list.

The 28-year-old Prichard has played all of his years in the NBA in Celtics colors, and he has developed into one of the team’s more reliable offensive weapons.

With Jayson Tatum still out due to injury, Pritchard has seen increased playing time and has been rewarded by providing consistent scoring for Boston, mostly as a starter. During his first 53 games in the 2025–26 NBA season, Prichard averaged 17.2 points (career-high), 4.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists, while draining 2.6 3-pointers per outing.

Opposing defenses have paid more attention to Pritchard amid Tatum’s absence. But he’s still providing consistent offensive performance for the Celtics, who remain one of the league’s best teams despite Tatum’s injury.

Pritchard, whose current contract with Boston does not expire until the summer of 2028, can continue to compile more 3-point shots. Right above him on the list is Marcus Smart, who drained a total of 911 3-pointers as a Celtic.

Paul Pierce is the Boston franchise’s all-time leader in 3-pointers with 1,823.

Ray J 在情人節音樂會上的表演讓一些粉絲感到擔憂。

這位 R&B 歌手週六（2 月 14 日）出現在路易斯安那州什里夫波特舉行的“親密情人節音樂會”上，當時粉絲們注意到了一些令人擔憂的細節。

從社群媒體上流傳的影片片段可以看出，這位45歲的歌手戴著墨鏡，臉頰上似乎有一滴血滾落。目前還不清楚這是真正的傷害還是舞台效果。

隨後，雷·J 拉開了連身衣頂部的拉鍊，露出了他的軀幹，粉絲們注意到他胸部左上方有醫用敷料。有些人懷疑他最近可能在這個網站上安裝了心臟監視器或其他與心臟相關的設備。

年初，雷·J 因肺炎和心痛住院，之後他表示，他正在服用八種藥物來治療嚴重的心臟問題。

據 TMZ 報道，醫生告訴他，由於他的病情，他們不確定他還能活多久。他被指示留在床上並繼續服用立普妥、Jardiance 和 Entresto 等處方藥，這些藥物通常用於有心臟衰竭風險的人。

他還被警告說他可能需要起搏器或除顫器，儘管他要等到兩週後的後續預約才能知道更多。

雷·J 說，他被禁止吸煙或飲酒，並承認這很困難。他還表示，由於受到刑事保護令的保護，他無法與公主之愛一起見到兩個孩子，這讓他意識到自己「需要[s] 改變 [his] 生活方式。 」

「如果我能走出困境，我會變得更堅強，成為一個更好的人，」他上個月告訴 TMZ。

在最近的一次直播中，雷·J 告訴粉絲，在最近一次住院治療後，他“幾乎死了”，他的妹妹布蘭迪幫助支付了他的賬單。

去年 11 月在佛羅里達州邁爾斯堡舉行的羅伊霍布斯世界系列賽中，霍華德·埃爾森 (Howard Elson) 仍沉浸在帶領坎布里亞隊 (Team Cambria) 奪得 75 歲以上全國冠軍的輝煌之中。

埃爾森被評為共同最有價值球員，他在投手丘上的 16.0 局中僅失一分，並在三場比賽中成為獲勝投手，其中包括在季后賽雙打比賽中的兩場胜利，幫助他的球隊進入了冠軍賽。

埃爾森在他的音調組合中使用的五個音調之一？這一變化源於米勒一時興起給他的教訓。

與金鶯傳奇的一次改變人生的對話

“我在匹茲堡的海盜隊旗艦電台 KDKA 上舉辦了一場體育脫口秀，所以我可以進入海盜隊俱樂部會所，”埃爾森回憶道。 “後來成為巴爾的摩金鶯隊主教練的雷·米勒當時是海盜隊的投手教練。我當時 40 多歲。我到俱樂部會所去找他，我說，‘聽著，我還在成人高級棒球聯賽和錦標賽中投球。你能向我展示一下你教給你的隊員的圓圈變化嗎？因為我遵循你的口號，‘快速工作，投出好球，改變速度’，但我覺得我的投球能力還不夠好。改變。他抓起一個棒球，把它放在我手裡，教我如何握它，然後說：‘別寵著它。像擊球練習快球一樣投擲，讓握力發揮作用。

“我使用它很多年了，這確實是雷·米勒教我的一種外投方式，因為我可以進入俱樂部會所。現在我仍然會使用圓形變速，但我也會使用分離器作為我的變速。這取決於熱身時感覺良好的方式以及有效的方式。他們做同樣的事情，但我認為這是唯一的‘感覺’投球。”

當埃爾森被問及米勒對電台主持人尋求推銷建議的反應時，他笑了。

“他一開始有點微笑，我不確定他是否相信我真的還在打球，”埃爾森說。 “但是，微笑之後，他很認真。他抓起一個球，向我展示了他需要向我展示的東西。多年來與我一起提供投球建議的幾乎每個人都是如此。

“當你告訴人們你還在打棒球時，他們會說，‘你是說壘球嗎？’我的回答是‘不，那是給老人的。’”
