Boston-El All-Star Tatum of the Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum, said that a radiography after the game on his right wrist was “clean” and that he was “well” after a tough fall during the victory of the playoffs 103-86 of his team against Orlando Magic on Sunday in TD Garden.
Tatum, who ended with 17 points in 8 of 22 shots in almost 40 minutes, seemed to hurt the wrist with 8:28 remaining in the last quarter in a driving attempt on the edge when he was received by two magical defenders, Kentaviovious Caldwell-Pope and Wendell Carter Jr.
Caldwell-Pope and Carter collided in the air with Tatum, sending Tatum to the floor. He seemed to land on his right wrist.
Tatum immediately grabbed his wrist, making a pain doll while staying on the floor. After a review, the initial call of a personal foul on Caldwell-Pope was updated to a flagrant foul 1.
Tatum stayed in the game but the following two free throws were lost. He seemed to be favoring his wrist, which flexed and held after leaving the court in recent seconds, since the second sown celtics closed game 1 of his first round series against the seventh sown magic.
“Okay,” Tatum said later. “He only fell on him, he landed on him.”
He added: “I was throbbing for a second. Something of the disappearance.”
The Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla simply said that Tatum was “well” after the game and did not seem worried about Tatum’s availability in the future.
Although Tatum had a shooting game according to its standards (including 1 of 8 from the range of 3 points), it obtained 14 rebounds, and the Celtics were driven by strong performances of the entire alignment.
The initial guard Derrick White made seven triples and ended with 30 points on the team.
Payton Pritchard, the leader of the Sixth Man award of the NBA year, scored 19 points from the Boston Bank.
And Defensor Celtics champion recovered with a strong second half, building an advantage of 19 points at one time, after continuing with one halftime against a magical team that was led by 36 points of Paolo Banchero.
“I think that is what makes us so dangerous, that we only have a really balanced team,” Tatum said. “And the boys take a step forward and can be different boys on any night. And everyone else simply discover their part to make sure we win.”
The Swingman All-Star of the Celtics, Jaylen Brown, added 16 points in almost 30 minutes in his first game after being out of the last three games of the regular season due to a bone bruise on his right knee. Brown, who added a two -hand dump to the end of the third quarter, seemed to move well in his first game in almost two weeks.
“I felt good today,” Brown said on his knee. “To start the game, it took me a bit to enter the game. I feel that I was seeing a little to start. The second half, I could get more involved, make some plays, have better activities.”
The Celtics will face magic in game 2 on Wednesday in Boston.

Rich also organizes the podcast of the flight cover. He was previously a rhythm writer from The New York Daily News and graduated from the University of Syracuse.
Florham Park, NJ – A look at what is happening in New York Jets:
1. Aaron vs. Aaron: After two weeks at work, coach Aaron Glenn dismissed a future quartback of the Hall of Fame, not the most comfortable way to enter the new concert. The details of that February 6 with Aaron Rodgers have come to light, courtesy of Rodgers, who said in “The Pat Mcafee Show” on Thursday that Glenn was missing respect. His meeting was fast and cold and became combative, according to Rodgers.
Yes, there is a new boss and a new atmosphere in One Jets Drive. Hugs and happy talks are out; The hard truth and the meaning are in.
“With AG, it will do it in a certain way, a way in which he believes,” said former Jet Campo Marshal, Chad Pennington, this week before Rodgers went public. “I think that is one of his strengths. That is what made him a great DB. He had a certain way of doing things and is a true professional, so he is not surprised that he also correlates to be a coach.”
Pennington was Glenn’s teammate in 2000 and 2001, just like Shaun Ellis, John Abraham and Anthony Becht, the four first -round draft selections of the jets in 2000. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 25th anniversary, the only time in the history of the NFL in the history of the NFL that made four round elections in the same year. They appeared as guests in the smear fish “of ESPN.
When Glenn appeared in the conversation, his former teammates described a highly focused person and serious mind that is not afraid to bother Status Quo.
Glenn has transformed the Jets into “a tight ship,” according to Becht, who added: “It will ensure that they eliminate anything that should not be very tight inside, so that only players and coaches uniformly uniformly with the sole purpose of changing that organization.”
He did it with Rodgers quite fast, calling for New Jersey to talk a few days before Super Bowl. The four -time MVP flew on his private California plane, waiting for a long discussion about his future. Glenn cut to the persecution, giving Rodgers a pink slip less than a minute in the conversation, according to Quarterback. It was faster than his unfortunate debut in 2023 that lasted four snapshots.
Maybe Glenn should have expressed more compassion, but acted decisively and showed that he is thinking as a chief coach, not a former player. The former players sometimes fall into the trap of getting too cozy with their players; It seems that this will not happen with Glenn, although his occasionally Espinosa personality could irritate some feelings along the way.
The way Rodgers explained it, Glenn seemed worried that his presence in the team would undermine his authority. If it is true, that could be perceived as a sign of insecurity, but let’s be honest: Glenn would not have been the first coach to see Rodgers as a distraction.
“He’s going to have different players, man,” Abraham said about Glenn. “I just hope you give you time to build this team.”
Ellis said of his former teammate: “My memories of him are entering the locker room, always seeing him smile, laughing and joking. But when it came to meetings, I was in his things. I knew exactly what to do. [coaching]It doesn’t surprise me at all. “
2. Draft’s last draft: The popular simulated Draft option for Jets in the seventh general is Missouri’s right Tackle, Armand Membou, whose actions have increased since an impressive combination performance. But what if Membou is out of the board? There is the possibility that Las Vegas Raiders can choose the number 6.
In that case, the jets could opt for the closed wing of Penn State Tyler Warren or the Texas Kelvin Banks Jr. Tackle, a name that has not obtained much buzz in the Top 10.
Banks (6 feet 5 inches, 315 pounds) won the Lombardi Award (best liner in university football) and the Outland trophy (best interior liner) in 2024. Its background in the left Tackle (three -year headline) provides more value than Membou, according to some NFL evaluators.
Obviously, the jets would not be repaired on changing the banks (or Olu Fashanu) for the right Tackle if they go in this direction. Banks is generally considered a first -toard first round prospect; Maybe they could put it in compensation.
Warren is intriguing due to its production (104 receptions for 1,233 yards in 2024) and versatility, not to mention the need to cry the jets in the closed wing. They covet an option No. 2 in the air game to reduce the pressure on the open receiver Garrett Wilson.
3. Connection of the hometown: Collecting banks would hit Casa for Glenn literally.
The banks grew in Humble, Texas, the same hometown as the coach. However, they attended different secondary schools. Banks’ father, Kelvin Mr., was also raised in the same area. He also went to a secondary school different from Glenn. Kelvin Mr. was an offensive liner who began his university career in the Houston.
4. A 320 -pound interrogation sign: Speaking of correct cup, Chukwuma Okorafor was an intriguing addition in free agency. It has 60 race openings, including 59 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but arrived with a red flag due to what happened last season with the New England Patriots.
He opened the season as his initial left backle, but allowed three quartback pressures to the Cincinnati Bengals star, Trey Hendrickson, and received the bank after 12 snaps. Abruptly, Okorafor left the team and never played again for the Patriots, who cut it this low season.
In 2023, Okorafor occupied the 12th of 40 tacle on the right in pressure percentage, according to the next generation statistics, but takes the stigma of having moved away from a team. Glenn said they did “a good amount of research” about the situation and was satisfied after talking directly to Okorafor.
“I think it’s a very good player,” Glenn said. “We are trying to build this line or to be dynamic, and we feel that it could be a piece of that puzzle.”
5. Heeere’s Darren: General Manager Darren Mougey enters the Care Center this week. He has no writing history because it is his first time in the great chair, so it is difficult to predict what could happen.
The coach of the Vikings of the Minnesota, Kevin O’Connell, former university teammate in the state of San Diego, praised the insight of Mougey’s staff.
“He is someone I always really valued: his opinion about the players, elaborate a team, a scheme, all that,” O’Connell told ESPN in the recent annual meetings of the League. “I think it’s going to do a phenomenal job in that role.”
6. Did you know? The Jets have made 625 players selections in the Era of the Common Draft (since 1967), and once they have chosen a player in number 7 in general. That ends on Thursday, except an exchange.
By the way, the jets are open to trade, by sources of league.
7. QUARITY MORE DISCIM: The Jets organized no less than four defensive tacle for visits: Mason Graham (Michigan), Derrick Harmon (Oregon), Darius Alexander (Toledo) and Omar Norman-Lott (Tennessee). Despite signing three low -cost free agents, they are still looking to update. They need more size in the middle.
8. A curious comp: In the last five seasons, only one player in the league, the Jet Support, Neville Hewitt, played more than 50% of his team’s snapshots (combined offensive and defense). He played 51% in 2020 in a team of the jets that had the second most defensive instantaneous. Why are we mentioning this?
There is a lot of talk about Travis Hunter playing both ways in the NFL, as he did in Colorado, where he played 86% of his spectators of his team last season. Hewitt’s reference gives some context to what Hunter hopes to achieve.
I bet you did not expect to see Hunter and Hewitt in the same prayer.
9. A family farewell: Tyron Smith, who retired on Wednesday at a press conference at the Dallas Cowboys, did not mention the Jets in their retirement speech. Okay, last season was the only one in New York, but the Jets paid $ 9.25 million when no other team was hitting his door. Smith joins a long list of greats that vanished who played the chain with the jets, a group that includes Rodgers, Ed Reed and Art Monk.
10. Occupied week: As of Monday, the Jets will celebrate a mini -family. Teams with new coaches can have a mini -family before the draft. This is voluntary, which means that a player could omit it to take a vacation in, for example, Egypt, and not be fined.
He 2025 NBA playoffs They are officially underway. The Pacers, Nuggets, Knicks and Timberwolves obtained victories in game 1 on Saturday when the first round began. The other four series, Thunder vs. Grizzlies, Celtics vs. Magic, Cavaliers vs. Heat and Rockets vs. Warriors, have the game on Sunday.
The West Conference is full of first -round intriguing clashes this season. The warriors with seventh planted and tested are favored by the rockets of second sown but relatively inexperienced. The Lakers saw the debut in Luka Dončić’s playoffs, who scored 37 points on Saturday against the wolves, But it was burned inside. The confrontation 4-5 between the Nuggets and the clippers could go in any direction with Nikola Jokić on the one hand and Kawhi Leonard in the other. Game 1 was overtime in Denver with prevailing nuggets.
In the east, Our experts expect it to be A first calcareous round. On paper, cavaliers and Celtics should be able to deal with business against heat and magic, respectively. The Knicks lost the season of the season against the Pistons, but New York is very favored to win this best confrontation and I went in a key race in the fourth quarter To take the game 1. Bucks-Pacers restarts a rivalry in confrontation 4-5, but Milwaukee is without Damian Lillard To start the series.
But, as we learn every year, anything can happen in the playoffs.

Without City receives the largest wrestling show in the world when Wrestlemania 41 arrives in Las Vegas on April 19 and 20. The two -night event will be limited by the highly anticipated main event of night 2 between the undisputed wwe Cody Rhodes and the legend of wwe John Cena.
The program reaches an epic conclusion in the main event when John Cena challenges Cody Rhodes for the indisputable wwe championship. Cena got the opportunity to win the elimination chamber in March after presenting CM Punk. But then, Cena became surprising for the first time in almost two decades by aligning with the rock and attacking Rhodes. Now, after a little of an awkward construction because Cena was out of television for three weeks after the heel, things come to a crescendo on Sunday night, where more surprises arise.
In addition, there is a fatal four ways for the intercontinental title when the champion Bron Breakker faces Penta, Finn Balor and Dominik Mysterio. The four have intertwined for weeks with Penta trying to advance for the first time as a champion only so that the day of judgment interferes and tries to attract him to his team. When he rejected them, Balor, Mysterio and Carlito went to the attack. Now, the four men have to solve their differences in the ring.
You can follow the live coverage and play the play of WrestleMania 41 Night 2 with our blog live.
There is also a trio of matches that are not title that is worth seeing. The legendary veteran Aj Styles is ready for a match against the star of social networks Logan Paul. Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest see that their epic rivalry reaches a brutal conclusion in a street fight of Sin City. And Randy Orton will face an indeterminate opponent after issuing an open challenge. Orton was scheduled to face Kevin Owens, but Owens was forced to retire from the game with a neck injury that required surgery.
Things quickly collected at night 1 with Jey use taking the world heavyweight title Out of Gunther. Businesses continued to collect two newer champions were crowned on the new day as Raw and Jacob Fatu Tag Champions as the United States champion. But the main event is where the real stunner entered when Paul Heyman betrayed surprisingly both CM Punk and Roman Reigns to align with Seth Rollins when Rollins moved away from his triple game of victorious threat.
The nearest 22 -year -old player came to this occasion, a day when United achieved only two shots in Target, he was failing in centimeters to connect with a low cross of Alejandro Garnacho in the distant post, when a touch would surely have diverted the ball since it was less than a patio.
Apart from that, it was the usual mixture of the industry and the physical will of Hojlund.
The discussion is that you only need a goal to restore trust and make it shoot again. The truth is that, apart from a five -goal streak in four early games in the love of Amorim and eight in eight games in the middle of last season, Hojlund has been little convincing as someone capable of leading the line or having a great impact on a Premier League team.
They simply do not compare with Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, Bukayo Saka or even, this season, in any case, Chris Wood in Nottingham Forest.
Amorim cannot offer an opinion without a filter about Hojlund. All you can do is promise to continue working with him, since dropping the Danish is not part of the plan.
“The only way I know is to work on him and show him the videos,” added the head of the United. “You need to score a goal and you won’t score if it’s outside [of the team] So I try to handle that during the games. “
Amorim emphasized the point only that Hojlund should not assume the responsibility or guilt of United’s goals.
Apart from the last three, Everton and West Ham have noted less than their 38 this season.
“If you look at the games, we have several players who lose great opportunities, not just Rasmus,” said Amorim. “Of course, for Rasmus, the game is to score goals because he is a striker, but it is a team thing. Our team should score more goals, not only Rasmus missing opportunities.”
United has now lost eight games at the House of the Premier League this season, his most defeats in Old Trafford in a league campaign since 1962-63. They still have two more opportunities, against West Ham and Aston Villa, to suffer a ninth and equal to the return of six decades ago.
With a tenth of the league campaign, a club record in the Era of the Premier League, Amorim has no choice but to try to eliminate any positive aspect of the unfortunate experience that is happening.
Against Wolves, who focused on the performances of the 20 -year -old central, Tyler Fredricson, who had a solid debut in the first team, and Harry Amass. The 18 -year -old wing once impressed to ask more questions about why he was omitted at the beginning of the campaign when United was desperate by a left -footed player in defense.
Amorim knows the United Bisagras season in his Europa League campaign.
You must find a way to guarantee the victory over Athletic Bilbao in the semifinal and then against Tottenham or Norwegian Side Bodo/Glimt to console a torrid period, where it is difficult even for him to tell fans that everything will be fine at the end.
“We tell fans the truth that we lack many things in our team, that we miss the possibilities, and that if we do not score goals we will not win,” said Amorim, when asked about his message to the followers.
“We have a lot to do and focus on improving the step by step. I understand that until the end of the league it will be like that and then we need to do something.
“Of course we have a plan and talk about that every day, but the season is not over, so let’s focus on that.”
Amorim’s situation was worsened by the Wolves League, the double over them, which sealed its state of the Premier League, and because its rent of Portuguese managers, Vitor Pereira, has had a seismic impact on Molineux in the way United has not experienced.
It was quite instructive, much after Amorim left the scene, listening to Pereira explaining how the club had clear that the descent problem after its arrival in December.
“The most important thing is to create a connection with people,” he said. “That was my first goal. I wanted to bring energy, trust and trust when I look at the players to help me.
“Through the spirit and in our time together, we talk about our lives and create a connection with the followers to make them believe.
“I went through our tactical idea and principles from the first day we worked together. The players know that I like good football, my team playing with the ball. Sometimes it is not possible, but then we need to know how to defend. Today we had a record number of kicks and free corners against us, but in the end they did not score.”
Everything is reduced to scoring at the end. Until Amorim finds an answer to that, United does not go anywhere.
real Madrid He breathed a sigh of relief in the dying moments of Sunday’s game against Sports Clubwhen Federico Valverde scored in the detention time to keep the reigning champions at a moving distance first in the race for the title of the League.
The advance came in the 93 minute of a game in which whites were the best side, but sometimes it looked far from the best. Real Madrid accelerated the rhythm in the dying minutes of the game while the head goal of the head, which came spectacularly from Valverde. He received the ball in the corner of the penalty area and hit it in the volley from that distance, hitting it enough to send it to the bottom of the network to give his team victory.
Look at the strike below.
The reigning champions did not have Kylian Mbappe available for them through the suspension on Sunday, but the rest of their All-Star team began, including Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. However, they joined a slow first half in which they took only one shot in the target and gathered only 0.25 expected goals of five total shots.
There was a considerable increase in shooting after rest, when Endrick arrived for Dani Ceballos While whites sought the goal of the advantage. They seemed to obtain the reward for their efforts in the 80th minute when Vinicius a nice It ends from short distance, but the goal was withdrawn after it was discovered that Endrick was in an offside position during the play. Nine minutes later, Bellingham hoped to win a penalty, and although the referee and crew contemplated for a moment, they finally ruled that the lack in question did not guarantee a patio.
Valverde’s goal finally assured that Real Madrid would end the week with a positive note, especially after a disappointing week. His unequal defeat against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League meant that his trophies decreased from three potential titles to two this season, as well as exposed an imbalance in the team that was still present on Sunday. His imperfections were also a distinctive seal of his double gain season a year ago, although his amazing ability to obtain a victory even in unidal circumstances has sometimes disappeared this season. He returned on Sunday and could offer a crucial impulse to Real Madrid in the last weeks of the season, but they will have to maintain that impulse to at least keep the rhythm in the race for the title.
Real Madrid has a formidable opponent in BarcelonaThey have lost only a game in 2025 and are in the middle of a 29 -day stretch in which they will play nine games. Despite the congestion of the games that weigh a lot on the Hansi Flick side, they still achieved a wild return and an important 4-3 victory over Celta Vigo on Saturday to stay at the top of the race for the title of the League and keep their hopes of triple alive. They finish the weekend with a four -point advantage over Real Madrid with six games for the League game.
What follows?
An important lot of accessories mid -week in the League, where both Real Madrid and Barcelona will have the opportunity to bet their claim in the race for the title. Barcelona will play seventh place Majorca On Tuesday, while Real Madrid will face 12th place Getafe other. Then, the couple will face the last edition of El Classic on Saturday in the final of the Copa del Rey, which marks the first opportunity of both teams to collect the main cutlery this season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson has been appointed coach of the National Association of Basketball Trainers.
Atkinson took over a team of the Cavaliers that reached the second round of the postseason last year and led them to an improvement of 16 victories and the best seed at the Eastern Conference. Cleveland’s 64-18 record marks the first time the team won 60 or more games since 2009-10 and the first without LeBron James on the list.
“Kenny Atkinson has been respected for a long time by his teammates as an innovative and humble server of the game,” said Indiana Pacers coach and president of the NBCA, Rick Carlisle, in a statement. “Congratulations to Kenny for a historical season along with this prestigious recognition of his teammates.”
Other coaches who received votes (in alphabetical order) for honor were JB BickerStaff (Pistons), Mark Daigneault (Thunder), Michael Malone (Nuggets) and IME UDOKA (Rockets).
BickerStaff, who was replaced in Cleveland by Atkinson, took the Pistons to their first appearance in the playoffs since 2019, rather than tripling its total victories since last season (14) until this season (44).
The Daigneault Thunder was overcome during the regular season, with 68-14 for the best record of the League and ending 16 games before the second place rocks at the West Conference.
Directed by UDOKA, those rockets were a surprise this season. While expectations were higher in the season, Houston ended second in the western loaded seemed unlikely. However, the rockets are in the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season.
Malone obtained votes for the coach of the year, but was fired with three games to go in the regular season. His departure was part of an unexpected cleaning of the house made by Nuggets vice president, Josh Kroenke. The most winning coach in the history of the franchise, Malone guided the team to a fourth eventual seed in the West.

Buffalo, NY-General Manager of Buffalo Bills, Brandon Beane, said last year that, despite launching the first round of 2017, Tre’Davious White told the corner that he did not rule out the possibility of his return in the future.
That idea has been fulfilled a year later.
The Bills and White reached an agreement on Thursday on a one -year agreement for a value of up to $ 6.8 million, agents Kevin Conner and Robert Brown told Adam Schefter of ESPN.
White, the first team of the Draft under coach Sean McDermott, was with the Bills during the 2023 season, but was released next season partly due to reasons of salary stop after suffering multiple serious injuries.
The corner is among the largest positions of need for Bills who go to the NFL draft next week with the 2024 Rasul Douglas opener still a free agent. Bringing White adds to a veteran who is extremely familiar with the defense of the team. The Bills also returned the corner Dane Jackson this low season.
White, a selection of twice in Pro Bowl, separated last season with Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens.
After being a bank for the Rams in 2024, White was acquired in an exchange for the Ravens on November 5 in an exchange of seventh round selections. It was solid in seven games for the Ravens as the fourth corner of the team, registering 10 tacle and three passes defended while playing 35% of Baltimore’s defensive snapshots.
The last low season, after being released by the Bills, White signed a one -year contract and $ 8.5 million with the Rams and thought to be one of the best corners of Los Angeles. But he had trouble starting the first four games, giving four touchdowns. White was a healthy scratch for the next five weeks before being treated to Baltimore.
A first round of the Bills in 2017, White has dealt with several serious injuries. His left ACL broke on Thanksgiving 2021, he returned for six regular seasonal games and two playoff games in 2022 and then broke the four Achilles games in the 2023 season. Before the injuries, White had been left out only three games in his NFL race and had never undergone major surgery.
In seven seasons, White has totaled 333 cups, 18 interceptions, 73 defeated passes and five forced loose balls for the Bills, Rams and Ravens. In 2019, he tied for the leadership of the NFL with six interceptions, when he was selected as an All-Prove of the first team.
