Golden State Warriors star Durant and Irving of the Boston Celtics have both emerged as targets in the upcoming free agency period. While the Knicks have cap space to entice star names, New York – who have not made the playoffs since 2012-13 – are only focused on retaining players who are committed to building toward success. “We’re going to do everything we can to try to attract free agents, as long as they’re the guys that buy into what we’re trying to do as an organisation,” Mills told The Undefeated on Tuesday....

The Lakers legend made his first media appearance since playing in his final game Wednesday and participated in a hilarious prank on an esthetician (skincare specialist). DeGeneres would feed Bryant what to say to her, and the main issue was his immense quantity of sweat.

The upcoming Hero I-League match between Mohun Bagan and Quess East Bengal promises to exhibit much of the same excitement, fervour, and colour on Sunday (January 19, 2020) at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata.
