Devin Booker named injury replacement for Anthony Davis in NBA All-Star Game

0

On Wednesday, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced that Devin Booker will replace the injured Anthony Davis as a Western Conference All-Star reserve.

Earlier this week, the Phoenix Suns star was snubbed by the league after not receiving a spot on the NBA All-Star Game 2021 roster. The NBA community, including Los Angeles Lakers megastar LeBron James, called out the selection, wondering why Booker was left out of the reserves.

Anthony Davis, who last suited up on February 14 in a matchup against the Denver Nuggets, has been out of the Lakers’ rotation with a calf strain injury.

According to league rules, when a player is selected to the All-Star Game and is unable to participate, a replacement player from the same conference is to be selected by the Commissioner in his place.

This will be Booker’s second straight year and second overall All-Star selection. Both times it has come as a replacement, as he took an injured Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard’s place a year ago. He is averaging 24.7 points, 4.3 assists and 3.8 rebounds on a career-high 50.1 percent shooting and 38.1 percent from three-point range in 26 games this season.

It is reported that this will be the first time the Phoenix Suns will have multiple All-Star selections in a single season since 2009-10 (Steve Nash and Amar’e Stoudemire). Chris Paul is the other Suns’ All-Star this year. As a team, the Suns currently sit in the No. 4 slot in the Western Conference’s standings with an overall record of 20-10.

“There’s no doubt about it. No one can debate that Book’s not an all-star,” said Suns head coach Williams, earlier this week. “End of story. The impact on winning, the numbers and we have a few wins. So from my perspective, I don’t think you’ll find any coach in the league that would debate that he isn’t an All-Star. End of story.”

Real Madrid news: No update on Ramos contract; Lucas Vasquez and Varane could leave in the summer

0

Sergio Ramos is a topic that is gaining popularity among football fanatics with every passing week. There are no developments between Real Madrid and him regarding an extension of his contract, which is set to expire at the end of the season.  

The only one that can change the situation is Madrid President Florentino Perez. Proposal from the club is still the same and Ramos’ demands are still unchanged. They’re offering one year but he wants two more. Moreover, no agreement has been found about the player’s salary either. 

Sergio Ramos - Real Madrid contract talks on hold

It is a very complicated situation but at the same time, it’s not 100% sure that he’s leaving. He’s still hoping to stay at the club, and the relation between Perez and Ramos is special since he is the club captain and has led them to silverware time and time again. 

Paris is still the only club in talks to sign him potentially. The issue is the length of the contract and 10% of the salary that will be deducted due to the pandemic situation. 

Elsewhere, Lucas Vasquez is also in a similar, complicated situation and is being approached by other clubs. Raphel Varane situation could also be crucial next summer. Real want to keep him but they will have to negotiate with other clubs who could bid for the player since the Frenchman will only have a year’s worth of contract left. 

This will be the right moment for Madrid to sell him if that is what they want, or to try and negotiate a contract agreement with the centre-back. 

India wins the third Day/Night test against England and now lead the series by 2-1

0

India was hosting their 2nd Day/Night Test match in the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, with the first being held in Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This was Team India’s third Day/Night test match overall.

Everybody wanted to see an even contest in the world’s largest cricket stadium. But it was far from that. It was advantage India from Day 1 as local boy Axar Patel took a 6-wicket haul in the first innings.

England was all out for 112 on the first day, and India was 99-3 at stumps on Day 1. As Day 2 started today, everyone hoped India would to take a big lead, but they were bowled out for 145, with Rohit Sharma being the highest scorer with 66 runs.

As India put England to bat for their second innings, India’s spinners were even better than the first innings as Axar Patel took another 5-wicket haul and Ashwin took 4 wickets to make it his 400 test wicket. England was bowled out for 81, and India was set a target of 49.

Rohit Sharma and Subhman Gill opened the second innings for India and saw it through to victory. Rohit Sharma was the aggressor between the two as he hit 3 fours before hitting a 6 off Joe Root to take India’s second innings score to 49-0.

Surprisingly, the third test ended within 2 days, with India dominating with the ball right from Day 1. Axar Patel took 11 wickets in the whole match, and Ashwin was also exceptional as he now has 400 test wickets in his name. This was also Ishant Sharma’s 100th test match, so this victory is also important to him.

This was the first match to be played in the Narendra Modi Stadium, and it will be a memorable one. India now takes a 2-1 lead in the series and make sure not to lose the series even if not winning it.

India now has a very good chance of making it to the ICC World Test Championship final. New Zealand has already qualified, so India just needs to avoid defeat in the fourth test, or else Australia will qualify. The fourth Test match will begin on 4th March in this same stadium, Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. This will be a traditional test match and will start at 9:30 am IST.

Manchester United eyeing on Anel Ahmedhodzic

Manchester United is considering a move for Anel Ahmedhodzic. The Red Devils are preparing a €13m bid for Bosnian international.

Ahmedhodzic born in Sweden. The 21-year-old centre back started his career at Malmo FF before moving to England with Nottingham Forest in 2016. But in his 3 seasons in England, he has made only one appearance. In 2019 he again returned to Malmo FF.

Last season he was sent on loan to Danish Superliga club Hobro IK. After a bright spell in the loan, he continued his form after returning to Malmo again. He has already made 41 appearances for Malmo this season in all competitions.

Manchester United faced some problems defensively since last season. They have conceded some goals for their own foolish mistakes last season. To make their defence better, they have signed Alex Telles from Porto this summer.

But there was no reinforcement in the centre-back position. Chris Smalling has left the club in the summer and joined AS Roma in a permanent deal. The poor form of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, the injury problem of Eric Baily and Axel Tuanzebe is causing Manchester United multiple problems. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will surely go for a new defender next summer.

Anel Ahmedhodzic can be a perfect addition to the squad in this circumstance. But they can face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea as well.

David Alaba waiting to sign Real Madrid; contract agreed

0

David Alaba will leave Bayern for sure, as confirmed by the player himself. But it’s not clear where he will end up, one of the subjects for heated debates across all platforms. These are true rumours because German publication BILD has confirmed that other clubs are trying to sign him. 

Potential suitors call his agent since he will be available for free this summer, and the race is still on despite recent reports heavily linking him to Real Madrid. Paris Saint-Germain,  alongside Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona, is interested in him.

The defender has reached a verbal agreement with Real Madrid regarding his contract. He wants to join the club, mainly since he has been widely documented to desire to one day play for Los Merengues. A four-year contract worth €12 million per season after taxes has been agreed upon between them. 

While the contract is agreed and ready,  Alaba is waiting for a few weeks to sign the contract. Barcelona’s interest was confirmed in the player by Fabrizio Romano on the Here We Go podcast; however, the club is currently powerless. They don’t have a president, and it will be until March until the elections take place. 

Nothing advanced has been talked about with them, or any other club that are looking at Alaba.
