Riley deflected big-picture questions about the defense, making clear he…
Gold Coast forward Keenan Palasia has been charged by the match review committee following the Titans’ Magic Round clash against the Knights on Saturday afternoon.

No plea has…
media. “I’m going to see what’s best for my future,” Emery said. “I’m very focused for Sunday (and Guingamp) and the final of the French Cup, after which I will see.” Asked if he would give advice to his successor, Emery said: Of course, if he needs something, I can help and give him my opinion. I can help if needed.” It has all served to set up one of the Premier League’s standout performances of recent years, in the way Villa simply obliterated Manchester City on Wednesday. The 1-0 scoreline didn’t do them justice. The European champions no didn’t…
The Dallas Mavericks kept their NBA Finals hopes alive with a 122-84 victory to deny the Boston Celtics a clean sweep in the best-of-seven championship series. Luka Doncic top-scored with 29 points while Kyrie Irving added 21 as the Mavericks ended their opponents’ 10-game play-off winning streak and claimed the third-largest win in Finals history. But they still have a mountain to climb as they try to become the first team to come from 3-0 down and win an NBA play-off series, with game five to come in Boston on Tuesday (01:30 BST). “We knew we have to get it,…
Ashish Mathur of Hoops Wire outlined last month what a trade sending Mitchell to the Heat could look like. “[Dan] Gilbert and Koby Altman would look for a lucrative package of multiple draft picks and one or two young players with star potential in a Mitchell trade,” wrote Mathur. “For example, a source told Hoops Wire that the Cavaliers would ask for Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr. from the Heat in Mitchell trade talks if it gets to that point.” Also last month, Heat big man Bam Adebayo helped ignite rumors connecting Mitchell to Miami with a post he…

With Caleb Martin’s impending free agencycoming up soon, the Miami Heat are going to have to plan to look elsewhere for another key role player. Martin is expected to pursue a payday, and with Miami deep into the second apron and hard capped financially, it is very unlikely that payday comes from the Heat. This is another undrafted success story with the franchise; arriving here on a two-way contract initially, earning regular rotation minutes and then becoming one of the team’s biggest x-factors. Against the Boston Celtics in last year’s Eastern Conference finals, Martin was in the conversation for the…
With a chance to win their franchise’s 18th NBA championship, the Boston Celtics laid a goose egg as they got blown out of the water in Game 4 by the Dallas Mavericks. The Celtics lost, 122-84, a 38-point defeat that ranks as the third-worst Finals loss in the NBA history. Boston didn’t look anything close to the team it was through the first three games of the series as they simply had zero offensive rhythm while defensively they looked almost uninterested in making the extra effort to close out to Dallas players on the perimeter. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown…

However, Sutton still has two years on his contract after signing an extension in November 2021. The receiver did mention that he’s only looking for a fair pay raise which shouldn’t be an issue. Other wideouts…
