Two games after his 34-point outing, Montrezl Harrell once again came to the rescue for the Kawhi Leonard-less Los Angeles Clippers after his game-winning tip shot to escape from the Memphis Grizzlies, 121-119, at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.

Down three with over a minute left, Patrick Beverly nailed a crucial trey from the right corner to tie the game before both teams came up dry in the following possessions. JaMychal Green then grabbed the offensive rebound off a Paul George missed triple giving the Clippers the last shot time in regulation.

Lou Williams tried to make his wonder happen with a floater only to miss it but Harrell came soaring on the weak side for the tip shot leaving 2.3 seconds on the tick.

The host team called a timeout but Mo Harkless blocked Jarren Jackson Jr.\’s three-point attempt to seal the game.

Harrell and Williams led the way for the Clippers off the bench with 24 points apiece followed by George who put 22 points with five rebounds.

On the other hand, Jonas Valanciunas had a big night for himself with a double-double of 30 points and 16 boards while Jae Crowder and Ja Morant finished with 20 markers each.

The win put the LAC in a 14-5 win-loss record while adding to the misery of the 5-12 Memphis.

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.
