Anthony Davis and Victor Wembanyama went straight after each other in Wednesday night’s game between the Lakers and Spurs, and the results were spectacular.
Davis was the first of the duo to make his strike. Late in the second quarter, Davis isolated Wembanyama, drove to the basket, hesitated, and put down a thunderous dunk on the rookie center.
It wasn’t Wembanyama’s first “welcome to the league” moment this season, but it was undoubtedly eye-opening for the young player to realize that there was someone that could throw it down over his 7′ 4″ frame.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are losing their identity as a revered NFL franchise, admitted longtime Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Big Ben had scathing words for his ex-team: criticizing the team’s losses to Arizona and New England, putting an insufficient offense on the field, and “bad coaching” in Week 14.
Roethlisberger didn’t hold back.
Speaking on his “Footbahlin’” podcast, Roethlisberger reflected on Pittsburgh’s narrow 21-18 loss to the Patriots last Thursday.
Things got a bit chippy between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Tyrese Haliburton early in Wednesday’s clash between the Bucks and Pacers.
After Haliburton flushed away a dunk during the first quarter, and let out a shout in celebration, he ran into Antetokounmpo as he turned to get back on defense.
The contact with Antetokounmpo sent Haliburton to the floor, where he looked perplexed as to what had just happened. After getting to his feet, the two All-Stars could be seen hugging it out.
Texas Longhorns backup quarterback Maalik Murphy is entering the transfer portal, ensuring he won’t be with the team as they compete in the College Football Playoff.
Murphy told ESPN that he’s entering the portal despite his connection to the Longhorns program and being “invested” in his team. Despite his love for Texas, he felt it was best for his future for him to enter the portal now.
“I hate it, I hate it,” Murphy said to ESPN. “I’m super invested in this team. Everything that we’ve done along the way and all the work we’ve put in together.
Draymond Green, who was suspended by the NBA late on Wednesday, assaulted a player on an NBA court. On Tuesday, he smacked Jusuf Nurkic in the face and onto the ground.
Earlier this season, Green put Rudy Gobert in a chokehold. No honest person can defend Green’s actions at this point.
So, insert Gilbert Arenas.
Arenas played 12 seasons in the NBA. He most famously pleaded guilty to a felony in 2010 after storing firearms in the Wizards’ locker room and reportedly pointed a gun at a teammate during an argument.
He now hosts a podcast.
The new Southeastern Conference will combine new and old in its first season in 2024 with incoming members Texas and Oklahoma.

But in the end, almost everything is as fresh and exciting as Christmas morning.
Alabama and Georgia will meet again next season just nine months after the Crimson Tide beat the Bulldogs in the SEC title game this month.
The NBA announced that Warriors forward Draymond Green would be suspended indefinitely after he was ejected from Tuesday night’s game against the Suns after striking Jusuf Nurkic in the face.
The league will meet with Golden State coach Steve Kerr, GM Mike Dunleavy, and Green’s agent Rich Paul on Thursday in order to determine a suitable path forward for the 33-year-old, which is expected to include counseling, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Green was suspended for five games earlier this season, and had played just six games before getting hit with another ban.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA, announced Wednesday. No timeline for potential return was provided by the league.
Green was ejected from Tuesday night’s game against the Phoenix Sun after swinging his arm at Suns center Jusuf Nurkic, knocking the player to the ground.
This shit is so tired and so ridiculous. If the NBA really wants Draymond Green to knock off the nonsense, they have to suspend Steve Kerr. Punishing the only defender Draymond has left is the only way to get the message through to him pic.twitter.
All 30 teams will participate, allowing fans to see some of the top up-and-coming talent in the league.
