One of the major concerns surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers’ signing of guard Marcus Smart has been his injury history, especially over the past couple of seasons. After playing in at least 60 games in seven of his nine seasons with the Boston Celtics, Smart appeared in just 54 games total over the last two seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies and Washington …

Rashford’s departure from Old Trafford has been a relatively long time coming. Manager Ruben Amorim dropped him for the Manchester derby on 15 December last year – and he has not played for United since. Amorim later criticised Rashford for a perceived lack of effort, suggesting that he would rather give a place on the bench to his 63-year-old goalkeeping …

While conversations remain about whether the Detroit Lions will add to their defensive line room, one thing remains consistent: the team’s faith in Marcus Davenport. This team has been singing Davenport’s praises ever since they signed him to a one-year deal last year. And they’re back at it again now.

Luka Doncic continued his recruiting tour with the Los Angeles Lakers, luring Marcus Smart to Hollywood after he and the Wizards agreed to a contract buyout. He plans to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Lakers, a contract that could easily age well. There are questions about which version of Smart LA will get, though. The 31-year-old spent …

“It’s fun,” Davenport said of these first two days of camp lining up opposite Hutchinson. “I really try to poke at him. He’s way too cool and calm and so I try to poke at him.” Davenport said Hutchinson can sometimes be a calming voice for him. “Shoot, sometimes I over-complicate things, and he just simplifies it like, ‘Hey man, …

Despite entering the offseason well above the salary cap, the Lakers have been busy since free agency began. They split their $14.1 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception between Deandre Ayton and Jake LaRavia, and they just signed Marcus Smart to a two-year, $10.5 million deal via the bi-annual exception.
