Mac McClung and Golden State Warriors Agree to 1-Year Deal
Mac McClung, the high school phenom that many may recall from his viral Ballislife mixtapes, has officially agreed on a one-year, non-guaranteed contract with the Golden State Warriors. Having averaged 13.4 points, 3.6 assists, and 4.8 points per game with an impressive 50 percent from 3-point range at the 2022 NBA Summer League, the 23-year-old point guard will have the chance to compete for a roster spot in training camp. McClung, a crowd favorite who happens to be rapper RiFF RAFF‘s cousin, played one game each for the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls last season and was later named the 2021–22 G League Rookie of the Year after being reacquired by the South Bay Lakers. As one of the top prospects coming out of Virginia in Highschool, McClung played in Georgetown and Texas Tech in co...
Five-Time Champion Magnus Carlsen Won’t Defend His World Chess Title
At 31 years of age, Magnus Carlsen has the highest chess rating of all time and is widely considered the best chess player ever to play the game. Showing a genius-level talent at a young age, Carlsen pulled out a draw against the legendary Gary Kasparov at the age of 13 and has reigned as World Chess Champion since 2013. After holding the world title for almost a decade, Carlsen has now announced that he will not be defending his title at the biannual competition next year. “The conclusion is very simple I am not motivated to play another match,” Carlsen said on his The Magnus Effect podcast. “I simply feel that I don’t have a lot to gain. I don’t particularly like it, and although I’m sure a match would be interesting for historical reasons and all of that, I don’t have any inclinations t...
WATCH: Tottenham Target Memphis Depay’s Fleet-Footed Finish in Miami
Barcelona were in pre-season action for the first of four fixtures on their tour of the United States as they put Inter Miami to the sword in a 6-0 thumping. Debutants Andreas Christensen and Raphinha featured in the Blaugrana colours for the first time, with the latter grabbing a goal and assist in an emphatic performance. However, it was Memphis Depay who stole the show with a truly stupendous piece of skill on the 70th minute mark; a vertigo-inducing drag-back that left his marker dumbfounded before firing low past the Miami keeper to make it five for Barca. Watch the goal below. Here’s the fifth from @Memphis 😯 pic.twitter.com/ZxJS8xMZUz — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) July 20, 2022 The Dutchman had a joyous start to life in Barcelona in the immediate aftermath of Lionel Me...

Arsenal favourites to land Youri Tielemans despite interest from Manchester United
Youri Tielemans has just one year left on his contract with Leicester City, and is expected to depart the Foxes this summer in favour of a move across the Premier League. In 158 appearances for Leicester City since his £40m move from Monaco in 2019, Tielemans has scored 24 goals and added 24 assists to the Foxes whilst lifting the FA Cup in 2021. The 25-year-old Belgian scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final against Chelsea last year, marking Leicester’s first taste of silverware since their remarkable Premier League triumph in 2016. Bookmakers Paddy Power are set on the midfielder joining Arsenal before the transfer window shuts that they are offering odds as short as evens. That means a £20 bet would return £40 including your stake. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are also s...
Jesse Lingard: Nottingham Forest Usurp West Ham in Bid for Free Agent
After advanced talks over a return to West Ham broke down yesterday, Nottingham Forest are now said to be in the important stages of securing a deal for Jesse Lingard. The 29-year-old is available as a free agent after parting company with boyhood club Manchester United this summer, and a return to West Ham, where he spent six months on loan last season, looked to be the most likely destination. After we reported yesterday that a deal was imminent, a dispute over wage demands which the Hammers are not prepared to meet, has led to an impasse. This has allowed Nottingham Forest to enter the mix, with the Tricky Reds prepared to offer the midfielder a substantial wage package in order to bring him to City Ground next season. Nottingham Forest have made a substantial offer to sign Jesse Lingar...

Nashwa Now Odds-on for Nassau Stakes Success at Glorious Goodwood
The feature fillies and mares’ race at Glorious Goodwood, the Nassau Stakes, seemingly has the way clear for Nashwa as bookmakers now have her odds-on for victory in 1m 2f Group 1 race on Thursday, 28 July. John and Thady’s Gosden’s three-year-old shortened in the ante post betting after it was revealed Irish-based La Petite Coco wouldn’t take up her early closing entry. Nashwa, the winner of the Prix de Diane in France, also seems likely to be kept apart from stable companion Inspiral for now as well.
