Image
Photo: Instagram/Klay Thompson Klay Thompson is reportedly getting closer to a return to the field, as he is expected either just before Christmas or possibly right after, depending on his health. As of now, he's been practicing with the Golden State Warriors' G League affiliate in Santa Cruz and will continue to get game action with the team before returning to the Warriors. Thompson has participated in scrimmages for the Santa Cruz Warriors, playing for extended stretches and appearing like his old self. Photo: Instagram/Klay Thompson Although it may only be a few clips in a G League practice, it is great to see Thompson back on the court. Unsurprisingly, he has been locked in from day one. Santa Cruz's head coach, Seth Cooper, said Thompson couldn't miss when he stepped on the court. According to Cooper, "He's cleared for full go, so everything we did was 100 percent him going.". "There was no holding him back. "It was just letting him experie...

Nate Diaz Wants his UFC Contract Extended

Image
Photo: Instagram/Nate Diaz Nate Diaz remains among the most legitimate fighters to have ever entered the Octagon. He last competed against Jorge Masvidal in November 2019 for the "BMF" title. Even though he lost the fight via doctor's stoppage, Diaz is far from finished in the fight game. He also has lofty ambitions after retiring from MMA. Diaz officially made his Octagon return by facing Leon Edwards at UFC 263. His return didn't quite turn out the way he had expected as he lost the fight. Furthermore, he expressed the desire to return to the Octagon within three to four months. Photo: Instagram/Nate Diaz There is speculation about what will happen to Diaz at the UFC since he still has one fight on his contract. As of now, his future at the company is unclear. Diaz wants to sign a contract extension with UFC because he wants some time to prepare for a fight with Conor McGregor next year. UFC president Dana White thinks Diaz is too old to fight in the UFC. Diaz is l...

Image

Known as one of the greatest shooters of all time, the NBA superstar commented on recent success. As he broke records left and right last season, he was nothing short of phenomenal.

Khris Middleton Suffers Left Knee Injury in Bucks' Defeat

Image
Photo: Instagram/Khris Middleton Milwaukee Bucks star Khris Middleton suffered a hyperextended left knee late in the third quarter of Milwaukee's 117-103 loss to the Celtics at TD Garden and did not return, but early signs suggest he will not be sidelined for a long time. During the third quarter, Middleton collided with teammate Rodney Hood as the two pursued a defensive rebound, and his leg buckled awkwardly. After he winced and remained on the ground for a moment, Middleton rose to his feet and limped to the other end of the court for Milwaukee's subsequent offensive possession. After the game, however, the Bucks committed a foul, and Middleton walked straight to the locker room. The Bucks were optimistic Middleton's injury wouldn't be a long-term one. Photo: Instagram/Khris Middleton Middleton is averaging 17.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.9 assists this season after winning an NBA championship with the Bucks last season, as well as a gold medal with Team USA in the ...

Conor McGregor's Remarkable Transformation in Only 5 Months is Amazing

Image
Photo: Instagram/Conor McGregor Conor McGregor has been out of action since breaking his leg in UFC 264 earlier this year, culminating in a loss to Dustin Poirier in the trilogy. Since then, however, he has recovered well and has put on a lot of muscle, resulting in a remarkable five-month body transformation. The Irishman boasts that he now weighs 13 st 5 lb, which means he is 2.5 stone heavier than before his fight with Poirier, where he weighed in at 11 st 1 lb. Photo: Instagram/Conor McGregor With the scores tied at one win each, 'The Notorious' entered with the intention of avenging his defeat to Poirier on Fight Island. This was their third meeting, but it lasted just one round due to McGregor's serious injury. McGregor's leg was broken, ending the fight abruptly and sending him to the hospital. Despite his career-threatening injury, he has continued to gain weight in the gym during his recovery, claiming to be '190lbs of granite' at the moment. Since his ...

UFC Boss Blasts Superstar Adesanya for His Unusual Remark

Image
Photo:Instagram/Dana White Adesanya will face Australia's Whittaker in a rematch at UFC 271 in February. Israel Adesanya is currently the UFC middleweight champion. It was announced by the UFC and Adesanya's representatives, but there was just one problem: Adesanya said it was a lie. Adesanya responded to the news by tweeting an emoji of a 'cap,' a slang for lying. During his press conference following UFC 269, Dana White was informed of his superstar fighter's response. He responded in a fiery manner, to say the least. According to White and another UFC executive, Adesanya had signed a written contract prior to the fight. Photo: Instagram/Dana White At UFC 243, Adesanya knocked out Whittaker in the second round to win the Australian's world title. He then attempted to move up to light heavyweight, but failed. At UFC 259, Adesanya lost the title fight against Jan Bachowicz. Afterwards, he returned to his natural weight and defended his middleweight title agains...

Coaches of The LA Lakers Rumored to Change Their Game Plan Because of Injuries

Image
Photo: Instagram/Anthony Davis Coaches of the Los Angeles Lakers are looking to improve their team's performance after a 13-12 start to the NBA season. ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports that the coaches are rumored to change their game plan "on the fly" because of injuries. The performances of Anthony Davis and LeBron James have been affected by injuries to their thumbs and abdominals, respectively. Aside from the two-star players, other members of the roster are also struggling to win the necessary victories needed for the team. In an interview with ESPN, Lakers assistant coach David Fizdale justified the team's offensive strategy by claiming that each player gets a chance to shoot and leaves little room for postmatch complaints. Photo: Instagram/Anthony Davis Going forward in the season, it will be interesting to see whether the team has any effective solutions to improve its performance.

Bam Adebayo Will Be Out 4-6 Weeks Due to Right Thumb Surgery

Image
Photo: Instagram/Bam Adebayo Miami Heat player Bam Adebayo has undergone surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb. According to the team, he will be out for 4-6 weeks. It is the first major injury Adebayo has suffered throughout his five pro seasons. This season, he is averaging 18.7 points per game and 10.2 rebounds. The Heat center suffered an injury in a loss to Denver on Nov. 29. He underwent an examination to determine the extent of his injury, and he was found to have torn his ulnar collateral ligament. This summer, he won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics. Photo: Instagram/Bam Adebayo After the game, he shrugged off the injury and said it was nothing serious. Adebayo will be absent for somewhere between 20 and 25 games based on the current schedule. It's a big blow for Miami, which is already struggling with a depleted frontcourt because of Markieff Morris' neck injury. Despite not knowing when he will return, Morris has been out since he was injured in a sc...

Bradley Beal is Considering All Options Before Free Agency

Image
Photo: Instagram/Bradley Beal Bradley Beal is one of the most high-profile free agents who will be available this offseason. Will he sign another profitable extension with the Washington Wizards or pursue a championship with other teams? The biggest fish in this offseason is Beal, so many teams will try to persuade him to sign a contract. Beal is a candid star capable of changing the deep-rooted hopes of any team he merges. Nevertheless, not many teams will have max salary cap space. Can Beal force his way to a contender with a sign-and-trade? It might be his best option unless he signs a super-max extension with the Wizards. Photo: Instagram/Bradley Beal Washington has done an excellent job rebuilding around Beal since Russell Westbrook's exit. Performing better than expected during the preseason, Washington is presently considered a playoff team. But is it enough to keep championship-hungry Beal around until the peak of his career?

Damian Lillard Wants 2-Year Extension That Could Affect Blazers GM Search

Image
Photo: Instagram/Damian Lillard Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN wrote an in-depth report that discussed the Portland Trail Blazers' search for a general manager and Damian Lillard's future with the team. In addition, Wojnarowski shared that Lillard is aiming for a massive contract extension this summer. In July, Lillard wants a $107 million two-year extension, but his agent needs the next general manager to sell ownership on the idea. Photo: Instagram/Damian Lillard The top GM candidates who fit Portland's profile are not enthusiastic about extending Lillard's contract beyond 2026-27. According to Wojnarowski, several executives told ESPN they would be far more interested in the Blazers job if ownership approved the move sooner rather than later. Adding the extension to his current contract, which runs through 2024-25, would pay him up to $55.3 million in 2027. Wojnarowski wrote that Lillard would be 36 at that point and would be well into his twilight years. The belief that...

Photo: Instagram/LeBron James LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers could soon be able to add a unique achievement to the impressive list of awards he has accumulated thus far in his illustrious career. He could become the first father to play on an NBA court with his son. The NBA still doesn't allow high school players to participate in the draft. But that will change by 2023, allowing Bronny James to declare for the next draft class after finishing his K-12 education. The transfer to Sierra Canyon has shown Bronny to have NBA-caliber potential. Basketball is one of the best programs at its high schools.

Whenever LeBron watches his sons play basketball it's just a proud father moment, even if his alma mater loses. According to LeBron, playing with Bronny in the NBA isn't just speculative.
