The 7-foot-2 Duke basketball starting center responded to his discouraging outing at Clemson with a productive display versus Cal. Entering Wednesday night’s wire-to-wire 78-57 home win over the Cal Golden Bears (12-13, 5-9 ACC) — Jon Scheyer’s 75th victory as Duke basketball head coach — the No. 3-ranked Duke Blue Devils (21-3, 13-1 ACC) enjoyed nine double-doubles between rookies Khaman Maluach and Cooper Flagg. But no Blue Devils had posted a double-double of any variety since the 7-foot-2, 250-pound Maluach recorded 12 points and 15 boards in Duke’s home win over Miami on Jan. 14. Maluach ended his four-week drought…

Dan James has been one of Leeds United’s most important players so far this season. The Whites have had a terrific season so far, sitting atop the Championship with 14 games remaining. With relatively little time remaining in the season, the league is starting to take shape as each game gains in importance week on week. Daniel Farke will need his key players to come up and there is no better than the Wales international to have a meaningful influence in LS11. David Prutton chooses Ben Doak over Leeds United player Dan James. The winger recruited from Manchester United had…
Newcastle United resume their Premier League campaign on Saturday afternoon with a trip to face the reigning champions. It has been two weeks since Newcastle United were last in action in the Premier League with Eddie Howe’s side enjoying success in both cup competitions. A fiery 2-0 win over Arsenal booked Newcastle’s spot at Wembley for next month’s Carabao Cup final, before a much-changed side won a dramatic 3-2 FA Cup clash against Birmingham City to reach the fifth round. Newcastle’s main priority this season will be to end the trophy drought and get their hands on silverware, but the…
Liverpool player Curtis Jones has taken to social media following his dismissal against Everton. It occurred in the midst of heated circumstances near the end of the competition. Curtis Jones has broken his silence after collecting a red card in the final minutes of the Merseyside Derby. The match ended 2-2 after a disputed late equalizer. Jones, who had already been booked, was sent off after objecting to Abdoulaye Doucoure’s celebration in front of the Liverpool fans. The Everton midfielder, who had already got a yellow card, was also ejected. Unfortunately, this means Jones will miss the weekend’s Premier League…
The Premier League, Football Association, and Professional Game Match Officials Ltd confirmed the City Ground concept. Semi-automated offside technology will make its debut in English football during seven of the eight FA Cup fifth-round matches.

The Premier League anticipates that SAOT will cut the average length of offside checks by 31 seconds. The…
After a stunning FA Cup victory against Exeter in midweek, Nottingham Forest return to the Premier League this weekend. The Reds worked hard to beat League One opponents. Forest needed a penalty shootout to win against the Grecians after a 2-2 draw after 120 minutes of play. Ibrahim Sangare was excited to return for the game. He was one of several players who received extra minutes in his legs, and in that regard, the game proved useful, with Nuno Espirito Santo making the substitutions. Taiwo Awoniyi smashed his nose in Exeter on Tuesday night. As a result, the Nigerian will…
Move over, Jonathan Woodgate; we have a new candidate for the worst debut of all time: former Rangers full-back Borna Barisic’s terrible first appearance in a Leganes shirt. An outing cut short after only ten minutes. This was not Borna Barisic’s nightmare. Unlike Woodgate’s memorable Real Madrid debut, which included an own goal and a red card, the Croatia international’s suffering was caused by pure misfortune rather than stupidity. Leganes announced that Barisic, Rangers’ January transfer from Trabzonspor, had damaged his anterior cruciate ligament after colliding with the ground clutching his knee. An injury that will keep him out for…
The Rangers Fan Advisory Board (RFAB) has confirmed they recently held a meeting with Patrick Stewart and other members of the Rangers leadership team. During the meeting, which took place before the club’s Scottish Cup defeat to Queen’s Park, the RFAB discussed a “wide range of club issues and concerns” with the new CEO and key figures at Ibrox. The minutes of the meeting are expected to be released soon. This statement comes at a time of growing pressure on the Rangers board to publicly outline their plans for the club following the unexpected exit from the Scottish Cup over…
Allowing Lloyd Kelly to join Juventus during the January transfer window was a risky move for Newcastle United. The 26-year-old’s departure has left Eddie Howe with fewer defensive options, as Kelly had been providing cover at both centre-back and left-back. That risk has already been highlighted, with Dan Burn and Sven Botman both uncertain for Saturday’s match against Manchester City. Despite this, the Magpies deemed it a gamble worth taking, and new information further supports why this decision was the right one. What has been said about Lloyd Kelly’s transfer to Juventus As the transfer window neared its end, Juventus…
Ibrahim Sangaré has faced a lengthy and difficult journey back into the Nottingham Forest squad. Signed for £30 million from PSV, the Ivorian midfielder has struggled to win over the Forest fanbase, who often expect more from him. Last season proved particularly frustrating for Sangaré. Manager Steve Cooper admitted that he played him out of position in an attempt to help him adjust to the Premier League, but this approach ended up being counterproductive. Sangaré’s best performance came when Nuno Espírito Santo arrived as manager, leading to a 3-1 victory at Newcastle. However, shortly after, he went to the African…
