In case you didn’t know… Kanter was drafted by the Utah Jazz with the third overall pick back in the 2011 NBA draft. The Turkish center established himself as a starter in Utah, but later went on to join the OKC Thunder in 2015. Despite starting only 27 games for the Thunder, Kanter showed the best form of his career with the team and was a regular scoring force from the bench....
Sources told SN that one player who has drawn significant interest has been wing Justin Holiday, currently averaging a career-high 13.4 points and making 37.7 percent of his 3s. Holiday is on a reasonable contract — he is owed $4.4 million next season — and his ability to shoot and defend the perimeter has made him a potential target for playoff teams like Boston, Minnesota and Oklahoma City.

The Mavs were expected to be a lottery team this season. However, based on their start and the kind of displays they are putting up, it seems now that they have a great chance of making the playoffs. Chris Paul was acquired by the Oklahoma City Thunder as a part of the Russell Westbrook trade. The Thunder are in full rebuilding mode, with a great group of young players, and Paul has found it difficult to adjust....
The team’s coach Didier Deschamps become only the third man ever to win the World Cup as a player and manager. French Defender Raphael Varane became the 11th player ever to win the Champions League/European Cup and World Cup in the same year. In Croatia’s valiant fight, Mandzukic and Ivan Perisic were the goalscorers. Despite the loss, this was Croatia’s best effort in World Cup history after finishing 3rd in 1998....
James’ presence affects the team defense too. See the difference: Cleveland disappointed but take no credit away from the Pacers, who are in a tight battle for the seventh seed. Paul George led Indiana with 29 points while guard Monta Ellis had an all-round game of 13 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds. The Pacers are currently leading the Detroit Pistons in the race for the seventh seed with a game in hand....
Perhaps the most controversial rule in recent years, the penalty of targeting can no longer “stand” as called on the field. Instead, referees must either confirm or overturn the ruling, the NCAA announced Tuesday. “If any element of targeting cannot be confirmed, the replay official will overturn the targeting foul,” the NCAA stated. Another change added is if a player commits three targeting penalties in a season, he will be subject to a one-game suspension....

Another 39 percent of respondents wanted these businesses to re-open sometime in May, and 12 percent said they wanted this to occur before the end of April. “The New Yorkers we surveyed have been badly buffeted by the coronavirus,” Ayman El-Mohandes, dean of the graduate school, said in a press release....
The finding is significant as suburban voters are traditionally considered as more conservative. In 2016, Trump won the country’s overall suburban vote by five percentage points. The demographic was crucial to his victories in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. This new poll also contradicts Trump’s own claim of support amongst suburban woman, as have two other recent polls. The poll in question—conducted from September 19 to 21 by the Washington, D....

Now, the obvious scenario is that The Game Awards 2022 showcases a new Dragon Age: Dreadwolf trailer, perhaps one with a late 2023/early 2024 release window. That’s months out, but many fans are still excited, so much so in fact that any cryptic Dragon Age: Dreadwolf social media post (like the recent PS5 testing one) has seen fans go into a frenzy. A recent social media post by the official EA Twitter account almost did the same, before another fandom showed up....
This isn’t the first NFS entry to hit mobile devices. EA previously released a free-to-play version, Need for Speed: No Limits, on Android and iOS devices back in 2015.

As seen below in the fan-made trailer for Need for Speed Payback, Grand Theft Auto 5 lends itself well to recreating the racing game’s original footage, as the Rockstar Games title provides a large open world full of a wide variety of different cars to stand in for the souped-up models in Electronic Arts’ forthcoming release. Not to mention, GTA Wise Guy manages to perfectly pace the remake trailer, as the action that’s staged is almost identical to the scenes found in NFS Payback’s first trailer, with the cuts and edits precisely syncing up with the original....
