Rui Hachimura has been playing extremely well for the Los Angeles Lakers over the past couple of months. Hachimura has averaged 17.3 points on 59.4% shooting and 48.9% from 3-point range, but head coach Darvin Ham has asked for more from the forward as well. Clearing the defensive glass has been an issue for the Lakers for much of the year and at his size, Hachimura should be able to provide a big help there. Lately, he has been doing just that with back-to-back double-digit rebound outings as the Lakers kicked off their six-game road trip with a pair of…

During an interview with NBA reporter Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Los Angeles Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell spoke about superstar LeBron James.

Alonso, however, now looks set to stay at Bayer Leverkusen until 2025 at least as he looks to build on what looks like the club’s first ever Bundesliga title win. As such, decision-makers on Merseyside may have to look elsewhere. Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi…

We’ve had many games, we’ve been busy and focused. I used the international break to reflect better and take a decision,” Alonso told reporters. “Last week I had a meeting…

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he can “understand” Xabi Alonso’s decision to remain at Bayer Leverkusen next season after turning down the chance to replace him at Anfield. Klopp labelled Alonso, who won the Champions League with Liverpool in 2005, as the “outstanding” candidate and gave the Spaniard his backing ahead of the German leaving the club at the end of the season. But Liverpool will now have to look elsewhere after Alonso, who is only 18 months into his first professional job as a manager, confirmed that Leverkusen was the “right place to develop as a coach”. Bayern Munich,…

Roy Keane adamant Arsenal will lose at Manchester City – but… Roy Keane is adamant Arsenal will suffer a major blow to their Premier League hopes by losing to title rivals Manchester City.

Arsenal will move four points clear of the defending champions with victory at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, but a home win would see Pep Guardiola’s side overtake the Gunners as they chase a fourth successive league title. The Gunners,…
