Jae’lyn Withers and Seth Trimble won’t be on the floor in UNC basketball’s exhibition game. On Friday night, roughly 30 minutes before the UNC basketball squad’s lone exhibition game this year, it became evident that graduate forward Jae’lyn Withers (a transfer from Louisville) and sophomore guard Seth Trimble would be out of commission. After all, neither was in uniform for the Tar Heels’ matchup against the St. Augustine’s Falcons at 7:30 p.m. ET Friday in the Dean E. Smith Center. A few minutes before tipoff, the Carolina Basketball Stats & Info account confirmed that Trimble (lower-body injury) and Withers (upper-body injury)…
The Miami Dolphins and Tyreek Hill are having a great start to the 2023 campaign. With the Dolphins sitting at an impressive 5-2 at the moment, Hill has played a major role in what has been by far the league’s most electric offense thus far this season, regularly lighting up opposing defenses with big plays. In fact, Hill’s start to the season has been so dominant that he is on the cusp of some NFL history that hasn’t been seen in over 60 years. The âCheetah,â as he is known to fans, currently leads the NFL with 902 receiving yards…
While the Packers have one of the tightest point spreads as they host Minnesota, the Dolphins are huge favorites. Last week across the NFL was a big win for sportsbooks. Straight-up moneyline favorites went just 6-7 in week 7, while going just 5-8 against the spread. One of those teams who won (and covered) as favorites were the Denver Broncos, who defeated the Green Bay Packers 19-17 after coming into the game at -1.5. This week, the Packers are +1.5 underdogs again, this time at home against the Minnesota Vikings. It is one of the closest point spreads of the week, as only the…
The New Orleans Pelicans will face the New York Knicks on October 28 and at the time of writing, Zion Williamson is expected to participate in the game. The star forward has had an opening game for New Orleans, scoring 23.0 points and grabbing 7.0 rebounds. Williamson has reportedly spent the summer in the gym and has been working on his body and fitness in a bid to finally shed the injury bug that has haunted him throughout the early years of his career. Williamson’s presence takes the Pelicans to a new level. Should he remain healthy, he could be…
Newcastle have enjoyed a productive week heading into the match with a 6-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur followed up by a 4-1 triumph at Everton on Thursday night. Eddie Howeâs side currently sit third in the Premier League table having won seven of their last eight matches while Southampton sit bottom looking to end an eight game winless run. The Saints have still picked up some encouraging draws against the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur but still find themselves six points from safety following a 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth. Southampton skipper James Ward-Prowse and Romain Perraud were both withdrawn with fitness concerns during the match and will be assessed ahead of…
WARSAW, Poland — An American basketball player with a professional Polish women’s club was beaten and left with a head injury midweek with the attacker later detained, according to officials and reports in Polish media on Sunday. Mikayla Cowling, who plays for VBW Arka Gdynia, was attacked late Wednesday in a music club in Gdansk, a city in northern Poland, according to the RMF FM broadcaster, which also quoted the club saying the âbrutal beatingâ left her with a fractured eye socket, among other injuries. Gdansk is a neighboring city to Gdynia on the Baltic coast. âI am outraged that such a…
Liverpool’s absentee list has a familiar look for this weekend’s Premier League visit of Nottingham Forest to Merseyside. The Reds remain without stalwart left-back Andy Robertson for Sunday’s encounter at Anfield, with the Scotland captain having suffered a shoulder injury while playing against Spain in a Euro 2024 qualifier during the recent international period. It was said initially that Robertson would likely require surgery, with that operation having been completed this week as he now begins his rehabilitation with a time frame for a return to action unclear. Back-up Kostas Tsimikas deputised for Liverpool on the left of defence during last weekend’s Merseyside…
Preston North End are back at Deepdale again for their second home game in five days as they host early season favourites Championship at Deepdale. The Lilywhites drew 1-1 with Millwall in the early Saturday kick-off in front of the Sky Sports television cameras. Mads Frokjaer-Jensen gave Ryan Lowe’s men a dream start but Zian Flemming pulled a goal back before the half-time whistle. Neither side could find that allusive second goal and Preston had to settle for a point. North End’s form has dropped since the last international break and given they had a perfect home record before West Brom’s 4-0 thrashing…
Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi was on media duties with Premier League Productions’ Nigerian reporter Anita Nneka Jones this week to discuss his remarkable rise in football, from humble beginnings to scoring in seven consecutive English Premier League games. Awoniyi was a member of the Golden Eaglets squad that won the 2013 Fifa U17 World Cup and two years later he earned a dream move to Premier League giants Liverpool but left the club on a permanent basis in 2021 without making his first team debut due to a work permit obstacle. After a season in Germany with Union Berlin, he…
Wayne Rooney has had a disappointing start to life as Birmingham manager, losing his first two matches in charge of the Blues without scoring. They face a tough task in their third game under the former England striker, visiting a resurgent Southampton side that are unbeaten in their last five games and are up to fifth in the second tier as a result. Southampton will welcome back Ryan Manning after his one-game suspension but Jack Stephens, Ross Stewart and Juan Larios are still injured. Che Adams and Taylor Harwood-Bellis are also doubts for the Saints. Juninho Bacuna is suspended for…
