In a Saturday appearance on SportsCenter, Ford also said Duke forward Brandon Ingram is not “a foregone conclusion” with the No. 2 pick as Washington forward Marquese Chriss is also in the mix. “They’ve brought in Dragan Bender, Jaylen Brown, and while I still believe that it will be Ingram at No....

Oddly enough, Lala is the only non-confidant character in Persona 5 Royal with a profile picture and background on Joker’s phone. This brings up the question of why was Lala not a confidant in the first place, especially since she is a more interesting character than others. Most notably, she is vastly more loved by fans than the Devil arcana confidant, Ohya, who sits in Lala’s very own bar. As such, it is hard not to see Lala’s limited role as wasted potential....

Led by charismatic president Fernando Roig, the team embarked on a spending spree and recruitment that has significantly strengthened the side considerably. In has come £68.31m worth of talent with the addition of Spanish striker Gerard Moreno (£18m from Espanyol) and the return of old favourite Santi Cazorla the standout additions. Given that the Spanish window does not close until August 31st, the club may still be active in the market with the expected sale of exciting winger Samu Castillejo to AC Milan (loan with an option to buy plus Carlos Bacca seems to be the prevalent opinion) meaning the club may need to get in another winger....

Los Blancos have played five warm-up matches till date, but have won just one in 90 minutes, with their other pre-season victory over Arsenal coming through penalties. This is far from the preparation they would have had in mind, given their disappointing displays last season. But for all of their shortcomings so far in pre-season, it must be remembered that these matches are nothing more than glorified friendlies and have next to no impact on the outcome of the season proper....

Jackson joined the rest of the NFL landscape in watching the NBA Slam Dunk Contest on Saturday night. The annual NBA tradition highlights some of the most athletic players in the game, who compete for the right to be called the slam dunk champion.

Jackson quote-retweeted a tweet from Overtime’s account, mocking the relatively lame dunk attempts that unfolded this year....

The Huracan Sterrato was introduced in 2019, using what Lamborghini learned with the creation of the Urus SUV about off-road suspensions and all-wheel drive systems. Like the Huracan EVO it was based on, the Sterrato sports a 5.2-liter V10 making 631 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque. That’s all sent though a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The Sterrato’s LDVI (Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata) controls the vehicle’s systems including four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, modified suspension and torque vectoring....

The 26-year-old, however, got the season off to a spectacular start as he scored within two minutes of kick-off with a deft header into the corner of the goal. It set the tone for Arsenal’s pulsating 4-3 win over Leicester on Friday. Such cold bloodedness in front of goal was a feature of the English top flight’s curtain raiser, which saw Arsene Wenger’s men score twice in the closing 10 minutes to turn around a 3-2 deficit....

Only days after Magic Johnson stepped down from his post as president of basketball operations, the Lakers fired Luke Walton, bringing a merciful end to his three-year run in Los Angeles. Walton wasn’t out of work long, though, as he has already agreed on a deal to become the next Kings coach, according to multiple reports.

When center Brook Lopez went down with a season-ending foot injury, the Nets acquired a $5.25 million disabled player exception. They would use that to take some of the hit needed to sign Hill in this case. But, as Wojnarowski acknowledged, the numbers could work as a hindrance to the Nets' ability to pull the trigger. Hill is set to make $3.5 million this season, and because the Nets' salary is way over the cap, they also stand to pay a substantial luxury tax hit....

Some five months after Russell notoriously posted a secretly recorded video of Young talking about picking up women — and two months after Young and pop-star fiancee Iggy Azalea broke it off — Young told the Los Angeles Daily News that his relationship with Russell is on the mend, “We’ve already been working it out. It is what it is. I can’t be mad forever.” MORE: Swaggy P, transcribed: Young’s best quotes...

Give some credit, then, to the new guard, Rob Pelinka and Magic Johnson. Two days before the trade deadline (and five months before the start of free agency), they made certain to put out an altered outlook for the franchise’s future. Talk of the potential signing of LeBron James this summer, with either DeMarcus Cousins or Paul George beside him, had gotten heated enough in the last half-year that some in LA began counting it as a foregone conclusion....

That might be the case, given his offseason work. Already one of the most effective post scorers in league history, the six-time All-Star has been working on his 3-point shot. Davis was asked recently during a Twitter Q&A how he’s improved his game this summer. “This summer I improved the most on my 3-ball. I wanted to be able to stretch the floor,” Davis said. “As a big, the game is definitely going that way now....
