Collin Sexton starred in the opening half for Chicago, chipping in 11 points during the first quarter alone to help the Bulls drum up a narrow 30-28 lead.

Seven Blaugrana stars have been called up to the squad by manager Luis de la Fuente as final preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup get underway.

Ingram reels in a crazy looking rebound over Anthony Gill, and kicks it to Jamal Shead, and the ball touches two more Raptors' hands before finding the bottom of the net in a nice and fast-paced mini 2014 beautiful game San Antonio Spurs-like possession. Ja'Kobe Walter has been shooting the three really well lately, 41.4 percent beyond the arc, which is funnily higher than his overall field goal percentage at 38.1 percent in seven games post All-Star break.

The best part of the season is about to begin. We've talked a lot about what we've done so far and what we need to improve. We want the players to enjoy playing football, and we're going to play some big games. Against Monaco, it's at home, it's important, we need the three points.

Barcelona are currently considering offering Christensen a one-year contract extension, although the proposed deal would involve a reduction in his salary compared to his current agreement. From the club's perspective, the proposal is part of a broader financial strategy. Barcelona are still carefully managing their wage structure as they continue working within the financial framework imposed by La Liga.

The Kings enter Sunday in fifth place in the Pacific Division and three points back of the Seattle Kraken for both fourth place in the division and the second wild card spot in the Western Conference.

This week, Brett and I start with our reactions to the robot umps - we like the idea, but are so-so on the execution so far. I'm curious to see if anyone else has the same take as me.

The defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder will open the post-break portion of the schedule without injured stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams. Gilgeous-Alexander (abdominal strain) will be re-evaluated in approximately one week and Williams (right hamstring strain) in approximately two weeks, the team announced Thursday. Key reserve guard Ajay Mitchell, who sprained his left ankle over the All-Star break while rehabbing from an abdominal strain, will also be re-evaluated in approximately one week.

Image source, Getty Images England captain Leah Williamson returns to the squad for the first time since Euro 2025 as they prepare to begin their 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying campaign. Williamson, 28, missed England's friendly victories over China, Ghana and Australia as well as their defeat by Brazil at the end of 2025 due to a knee injury. The Arsenal defender had surgery after lifting England's second successive European title in July and returned to action at the start of December.

Absolutely not. I don't think anyone is but I don't really know when else to put it in to be honest. I mean you're asking players to cut their offseason short when everyone's just had competitions and Euros and traveling across the world. And then we come in after very limited time off and have to play again.

There is not a player on our team that is 100% healthy.

The injuries and lukewarm interest for Davis and Morant could remove two top trade candidates from the board until the offseason. As for Antetokounmpo, team sources told ESPN's Jamal Collier earlier this month that the Bucks are actively looking for trades to improve around their two-time MVP. But with Antetokounmpo out for an extended period because of a calf injury, will Milwaukee stay cautious and regroup in the offseason?

The first step in getting this thing right is doing exactly what Jerry Jones did. Do the process like everyone else, get young names in the building, stop using old head coaches as your DC. That doesn't work as we have seen. Now, with getting Parker in the building, this could be great for their backend and maybe bring some guys in through free agency.

The Warriors were without most of their top players. Steph Curry (knee inflammation) and Draymond Green (back) were held out after being questionable earlier in the day. Without their best players and several others the Warriors fell to the Timberwolves 108-83 while suiting up only 10 players. Gui Santos had his first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, and Brandin Podziemski had 12 points and seven rebounds.

It feels great to be back with the guys,

It's up to Stidham to be this year's Jeff Hostetler (New York Giants, Super Bowl XXV) or Nick Foles (Philadelphia Eagles, Super Bowl LII) and in so doing he'd bring a quartet of 49ers along for the ride. I'll admit to being a skeptic when Denver dropped big money on safety Talanoa Hufanga (three years, maximum of $45 million) and Dre Greenlaw (three years, maximum of $31.5 million).

"Richarlison unfortunately got a hamstring injury that will keep him out for up to seven weeks," Frank told reporters. "Hey, it is what it is. "We are in the market, as I said many times, to see if we can improve the squad, but it needs to be something that will improve the squad in the short and long term.

Also on this day in Dodgers history - but in 2010 -- the Dodgers avoided salary arbitration with Matt Kemp by agreeing to a two-year, $10.95 million contract. Kemp was coming off a career season in which he batted .297/.352/.490 with 25 doubles, seven triples, 26 home runs, 101 RBI and 34 stolen bases over 668 plate appearances (162 games). He finished 10th in National League MVP voting that year while also winning his first career Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Awards.
