Before LeBron James returned to Lakers practice on Monday, his brief stint with the franchise’s G League affiliate gave coaches and players a chance to witness James up close.The NBA’s 40-year-old all-time leading scorer has been sidelined with sciatica so far this season, and as his recovery progressed, he spent multiple days assigned to the South Bay Lakers. While there, James participated in his first 5-on-5 practice of the season.“To have the greatest player of all time join your practice, first and foremost, what an opportunity for each and every one of us to be a part of it,” Guthrie told reporters. “To just be a small part of his journey, his 23rd season, getting him back to health and getting him back to playing where he should be, playing with the Lakers — it’s an unbelievable exp...

Zirkzee devoid of playing timeWith four months into the new season, Zirkzee has only recorded one start so far at Manchester United. The Dutch striker was one of the star-studded signings under Erik ten Hag last summer when he was brought in from Serie A side Bologna. However, he failed to live up to the expectations under both Ten Hag and later on Ruben Amorim, when the latter took charge in November 2024. In the Premier League, he managed only three goals in 32 appearances, and in the Europa League, he found the back of the net twice in 11 games. This season, he has accumulated only 90 minutes five appearances across the Premier League and the Carabao Cup debacle against Grimsby Town. Amorim has most often used Mason Mount, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko and overlooked Zi...

Putting a fresh face on a failing format doesn’t magically make it watchable.  Yet that’s exactly what ESPN keeps trying with NBA Countdown, and the latest attempt is no more convincing than the last dozen. The new-look NBA Countdown On Monday, ESPN announced that Brian Windhorst—senior writer, LeBron James shadow, and future Jonah Hill biopic subject—has signed a multiyear extension and will now be a full-time panelist on Countdown.  He joins host Malika Andrews, Kendrick Perkins, Shams Charania, and new addition Mike Malone in what is essentially the “when Chuck and Shaq have the night off” lineup. This is not a knock on Windhorst. The man is an elite reporter. One day Jonah Hill will do a very good job playing him in the inevitable LeBron movie.  But Win...
