Jordan Poole wins it for the Dubs, goes 2-0 in season series vs. Memphis 

Published

In a much-anticipated NBA rivals week, Golden State faced off against the gritty Memphis Grizzlies and Jordan Poole may have caused Stephen Curry to get ejected, but he bounced back by hitting the game-winner for the Warriors. Up by two with less than two minutes left, Poole decided to release a 30-footer off a huge offensive rebound by Donte DiVincenzo with still 12 seconds left on the shot clock. Curry, who was asking for the ball, got frustrated on the shot that he threw his mouthpiece on the floor while going back to defense and with the referee in front of him, the two-time MVP got slapped with a technical and ejection in a clutch-situation game. But despite missing their best player, Klay Thompson made a huge triple off Poole's assist to give the Warriors up with 14.1 seconds. Brnadon Clark though, tied the game off a beautiful setup from Ja Morant. Thompson missed the following shot but the Warriors grabbed an offensive rebound that paved the way to an inbound game-winning play as Poole went backdoor for the layup. He finished with 21 points while Thompson had 24. Curry top scored with 34 points. With the win, the Warriors are now 2-0 against the Grizzlies in the regular season.

Leon Edwards settles doubt after denying Kamaru Usman again

It was not luck nor a fluke. Leon Edwards proved once again that he is better than Kamaru Usman after winning their rematch in the main event of UFC 286.

Edwards successfully defended the UFC welterweight belt he stole from Usman back in August with a majority decision victory in front of his home crowd at the O2 Arena in London, England.

He connected 120 significant strikes compared to only 87 from Usman while also limiting the latter’s takedown attempts.

“I knew it was a close fight and I knew he would come out [hard] in the last round. He was keeping good pressure on but not much was happening,” Edwards said after the fight.

Shortly after winning, UFC revealed that he will next make a title defense against Colby Covington in a to be determined date and venue

Lonzo Ball to potentially miss second straight NBA season due to third knee surgery

Lonzo Ball is on a tough road returning to the NBA after confirming another necessary surgery on his left knee.

The 25-year old Chicago guard has not played since January 14, 2022 due to his knee injury and now he will undergo a knife for the third time in the same knee.

He expressed frustration but clings on to a full recovery.

“My main focus has been on returning to the court and getting to a place where I can rejoin my teammates. This has been a frustrating process, but I’m confident these next steps are the best path forward,” he said in a statement.

This reminds many of Derrick Rose’s injury-ridden career with the Bulls. However, Ball, just like Rose, continues to persevere to overcome the setback.

“The support of my family, friends, fans and medical staff throughout my recovery is what keeps me moving forward. I can’t wait to get back to what I love doing most – playing basketball.”

NBA further suspends Ja Morant for eight games after conducting own investigation

While Ja Morant is continuously being away from the Memphis Grizzlies after his gun showing incident, the NBA has already decided on what his punishment will be.

Morant has been suspended for eight games without pay that will cost around $669,000 of his salary, this started when he stepped away from the game to reevaluate himself.

He has already served six games and will continue to be ineligible for the next two games. However, despite these suspensions, Morant’s return seemingly remains indefinite.

“Ja’s conduct was irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous. It also has serious consequences given his enormous following and influence, particularly among young fans who look up to him,” said NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in the league’s statement.
