Monza lose captain Pessina for a while after serious knee injury, confirms JuricMonza coach Ivan Juric confirmed they will be without captain Matteo Pessina for a while following a serious knee injury, as they prepare for their first Coppa Italia match.The Italian football season kicks off in earnest on Friday with several Coppa Italia First Round ties, including Monza hosting Avellino at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).However, Pessina will not be a part of that squad, nor will he be able to participate in the opening rounds of the Serie A campaign.Monza must do without PessinaMONZA, ITALY MAY 04: The AC Monza fans show their support during the Serie A match between AC Monza and Atalanta BC at U-Power Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Monza, Italy. (Photo by Marco Luzzani/Getty Images)Pessina had a problem with his knee, he will be out for a while, said Juric in a press conference.It is a huge loss. He is a leader both on and off the field. In any case, he will remain close to his teammates.According to reports, more in depth tests will be required over the next few days to give a better idea of the extent of the damage, and how long they can expect to be without Pessina.The 29-year-old started out in the youth academy of his hometown club, and returned in 2023 after spells with the likes of Milan and Atalanta.He had been hoping to take a key role following their promotion back into Serie A, but is now expected to be out of action for several months.The objective of course is to secure safety and help some of these lads develop, added Juric, who only took over this summer.There is an abyss between Serie A and Serie B. We decided to make several changes, adding lads of great quality, but they have never actually played in the top flight.

As the Tennessee Titans prepare to hit the field against the San Francisco 49ers tonight for their preseason opener, it will be good to remember that this will be the first time the team truly goes full speed.Yes, practice and joint practices have live elements, but they are still controlled, and some players are off-limits, which can skew production. That will not be the case tonight against the 49ers, and in some ways it will be the first chance to truly gauge where some of the position groups stand and how the competition is going.With that in mind, here are four position groups to keep an eye on tonight when the Titans hit the field.CornerbacksThe Titans revamped their cornerback room during the offseason with the additions of CorDale Flott, Alontae Taylor, and Joshua Williams, yet entering the game, they still have some questions about how they will hold up. In the joint practice, the unit reportedly struggled against the 49ers' passing game, raising a question many have neglected: would a live pass rush have made a difference?With quarterbacks being protected in training camp, some plays are ultimately extended where in a real game they wouldnt be, which leaves defensive backs covering receivers for extended periods. While this may not be the case on Tuesday or even in previous practices, it can make a difference, and that is why seeing this group in game action is important to making a true evaluation.Offensive lineWhile the battle along the interior will get most of the hype, and rightfully so, the entire line should be under the microscope. While the interior battles will work themself out, and eventually the starters will be named, its really the depth at tackle that must be watched to see what the Titans have behind Dan Moore and JC Latham.The Titans offensive line must be better in 2026 than they were in the previous seasons, and in reality, their performance will determine the success of the offense as a whole and impact Cam Wards development.Specialists/special teamsWhile two of the three specialists are set, monitoring Joey Slye in game action should be one of the focuses. Slye has struggled at times during training camp, and the Titans have been working out kickers since his disastrous performance in the Blue & White scrimmage. But on top of that, there will be a lot to keep an eye on.The Titans' return game is in great hands with Chimere Dike, but what happens if he gets injured? Special teams coordinator John Fassel has discussed seeing other players get a shot, and tonight would be a great opportunity for someone to stand out.These units will also be a place where some of the bubble players can make an impact and up their stock. Tennessee does have some interesting depth battles that are flying somewhat under the radar, and some of those eventual decisions will be directly influenced by the work done on special teams.Wide receiverThis might be the deepest unit on the roster, and there will be some tough roster decisions that will have to be made in a couple of weeks, and some of the work being put on tape in the preseason could help make or break a player's chance at making the roster.This unit, specifically Bryce Oliver, Xavier Restrepo, KJ Osborn, and others, will have a shot to make plays in real competition and add something on special teams, which could help build their resume heading deeper into training camp.This article originally appeared on Titans Wire: Tennessee Titans preseason: 4 position groups to monitor against the 49ers

NEW YORK - In four starts since returning from the injured list (elbow bone bruise), Yankees' lefty Max Fried has posted a 1.83 ERA."Feel like his stuff's been really good,'' said manager Aaron Boone. "And when Max gets it going and in rhythm, and has different weapons to get you, man, he's hard to hit.''Fried takes the mound Thursday afternoon at the Stadium, with the Yanks seeking to complete a three-game sweep of Seattle Mariners club that has dropped six straight. Even with Will Warren's three-homer, four-inning start, Yankees starters have posted a 2.10 ERA in 14 games since July 28, and the rotation is second overall among MLB staffs with a 3.45 ERA. Later on Thursday, rehabbing Yankees' lefty Carlos Rodon (elbow inflammation) is due to make a rehab start at Class AA Somerset, limited to about 55 pitches. Rodon might be ready to slot back into the Yanks' rotation by next week, though he won't be fully built up for a few more turns.

Thunder predicted to trade Chet Holmgren for $112M elite shooter in deal involving Jalen Duren originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Oklahoma City Thunder have some difficult decisions to make regarding the contracts on their roster. With the NBA's new CBA rules, it could become increasingly difficult for them to keep their young core together long term.Eventually, the Thunder may have to make a difficult choice and move on from one of their key players. Chet Holmgren has emerged as a potential candidate to be traded if Oklahoma City decides it needs to make a major financial move.The second apron is rearing its ugly head with OKC in real time and will continue to do so as long as the Thunder keep that big three together. They might have to make a big-time decision soon. If Holmgren continues to struggle against Victor Wembanyama when it matters most, then maybe that decision becomes easier, The Athletics Zach Harper wrote.Detroit Bad Boys Robbie Bettelon believes the Pistons could acquire Holmgren in a three-team trade that would send Jalen Duren to the New Orleans Pelicans.DET gets: Chet Holmgren and Jordan Hawkins. NOP gets: Jalen Duren. OKC gets: Trey Murphy III and Duncan Robinson, Bettelon wrote.This deal could work out in several ways for all three teams. For Oklahoma City, it would allow the Thunder to maintain the rest of their core while adding a talented young wing in Trey Murphy III. Detroit would move on from Duren, who could potentially be involved in a sign-and-trade because of his ongoing contract situation with the organization.Tracy McGrady has even warned Detroit against giving Duren a max contract.You can't give him the super-max," said McGrady. "I think he needed another year on the level that he was trending before it was considered. He deserves to be paid. But that super max? Phenomenal regular season 19 and 10, but the drop-off to 10 and 8 in the playoffsI get it, the regular season. But our eyes saw that this year in the playoffs. They see the same thing that we witnessed. And it's tough, man, because it was so bad and it just put him in a bad, bad situation."Holmgren's future in Oklahoma City could become uncertain if the Thunder decide they need to make a major financial move. Murphy, meanwhile, would fit well into the Thunder's system as a young, athletic wing who can provide shooting and scoring.Murphy is currently on a $112 million deal with the Pelicans. A blockbuster trade like this would give multiple players a fresh start. For Holmgren, it could be an ideal scenario if he were to be moved, going from one contender to another while joining a team that could give him a different opportunity.More NBA news:Lakers' $7M historic 3-and-D guard not going to be waived over Dalton Knecht, says team insiderNuggets and Peyton Watson reportedly face daunting $7.5M contract rift as stalemate continuesCavs, Clippers, Bucks get major NBA champion Peyton Watson update after $70M Nuggets offerNuggets' Peyton Watson gets $70M contract update as Denver's lackluster offseason continues

Two failed NBA players have found a new way to make a mockery of transgender people, and theyre using womens professional basketball to do it. And just like every other attempt to delegitimize trans human beings, it will fail.Two narcissistic, selfish, and thoughtless jerks, Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White, have announced their intention to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft, claiming they now identify as women for the purposes of professional basketball.Narcissistic because theyre only thinking about their pathetic selves, and selfish and thoughtless because they have absolutely no idea how their sick prank adversely affects the lives of the trans community.Related:Two ex-NBA players turn transgender identity into a stunt. The WNBA is respondingThe loud-mouthed White sickeningly admitted on Fox News that he sometimes identifies as a woman for purposes of professional basketball. There is toxic masculinity, and then there is lethal masculinity, which applies to Freedom and White.Two men who built their careers on an elite male professional sport are now trying on a transgender identity like its a perverted Halloween costume. This has nothing to do with protest or with proving a point. Freedom and White dont belong anywhere near the WNBA. It is mockery, pure and simple. And because they only thought about themselves and thought wrongly, by the way that they were being clever, they are scorching people who have spent their entire lives fighting simply to be believed about who they really are.And underneath all the anger at this stunt is something simpler and harder to shake: transgender people are human beings. They pay rent. They worry about their families. They have good days and terrible days, just like the rest of us. They do not deserve to be reduced to a punchline by men chasing relevance.This stupid stunt follows Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham's comments arguing that women's sports should be restricted to biological females, and it exploits an ambiguity in the WNBA's Collective Bargaining Agreement, which says only women are eligible but never spells out what that means.Freedom and White didn't dribble into this controversy by accident. They saw a sinister opening, a moment when the culture war around trans athletes was already being pounced on by opportunistic GOP political candidates who have no record to run on, so they singled out trans people as the enemy.Related: Anti-trans rally flops as Seattle Storm player wears trans rights are human rights shirtAnd Freedom and White eagerly poured gasoline on that fire for attention.Here is what many of us already know. This "crisis" they are pretending to solve doesn't exist. The number of transgender athletes competing at an elite level is vanishingly small. This is not widespread. At all. It is not some kind of out-of-control epidemic. It is a small handful of people trying to play the sport they love, often under some of the most rigorous hormone and eligibility rules in all of athletics, and rules that already exist, by the way.But not to lawmakers and the conservative right and religious extremists who conveniently ignore the facts because they don't generate outrage among the narrow-minded base. A needless war in Iran? Inflation? High gas prices? They have no answers to these questions, exacerbated on their watch, so they target the trans community.They have discovered that targeting trans people, a small, vulnerable minority already facing disproportionate poverty, violence, and rejection from their own families, is an easy way to divide an electorate and distract from the economic problems actually keeping people up at night.So they pass strict bans, deny medical care, and pass bathroom bills. All of these stunts create diversion. It is easier to drum up panic about who's allowed on a basketball court than to talk honestly about war, wages, grocery bills, housing, or health care.The right-wing media then provides the bullhorn. Thats what happened with Freedom and White. Last Friday, the digital New York Post ran a screaming headline at the top of the page about Freedom. The next day they did the same thing with White.And off they go, joining the GOP extremists campaign of deceit and destruction.Well, heres what they get in return. Their petty actions give cover to bullies to torment trans kids. It gives adults reason to prohibit trans kids from playing with their peers. It fuels more legislation to deny trans kids and adults gender-affirming care.It gives Donald Trump another chance to scream "transgender for everybody" as a literal punchline at a rally, or from the Oval Office. It gives the ultimate transphobe Pete Hegseth another opportunity to kick a trans soldier out of the military. Freedom and White unleashed hell on the trans community.I have talked to so many transgender people over the years, and if there is one thing I want people to understand, it's this: the pain of not being able to live as who you truly are is not something anyone would choose. Ever. It is intense, and when its not dealt with, the repercussions can be fatal. Equally, when its maligned, ridiculed and dismissed.For Freedom and White to carelessly play with peoples lives is not just morally offensive. It is a brutal betrayal of every person who has ever had to fight, sometimes at the cost of family, safety, or their own life, simply to be seen.So dont be confused. This is not some sort of defense of women's sports. It is two washed-up hacks so desperate for relevance and a second act that they are willing to humiliate a community that has done nothing to them.The joke here is not what theyre doing. Its what their pathetic careers have come to. And if they think this stunt will do lasting damage to trans people's fight for dignity, they are mistaken. It will fail, as every act of this kind eventually does, because transgender people are human beings, deserving of the same respect, safety, and chance to simply live as everyone else.And every decent, empathetic, caring, and accepting person in this country which obviously excludes Freedom and White understands that.Opinion is dedicated to featuring a wide range of inspiring personal stories and impactful opinions from the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.
