“Dirk played for 100 years” -Kidd lauds Doncic

Mavericks head coach and former Mavs player Jason Kidd praised Luka Doncic for his accomplishments in such a short period of time in the league. Doncic put up 40 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, and one steal during their 132-120 win over the Trail Blazers on Saturday. He posted his fifth triple-double of the season and third over the last seven Games. He’s now surpassed the 40-point mark on five separate occasions this season.

Doncic has now surpassed Mavs legend Dirk Nowitzki for the most 35-point Games. Kidd, a former teammate of Nowitzki’s, made a joke about how long Dirk was in the league (in reality, it was 21 seasons - all spent with the Mavs) in order to make a point about how good Doncic is.

“Dirk played for 100 years,” said Kidd. “Luka’s played for six. That’s how good he is.”

Asian shares have fallen after a short-lived armed rebellion in Russia added to uncertainties over the war in Ukraine TOKYO -- Asian shares fell Monday after a short-lived armed rebellion in Russia added to uncertainties over the war in Ukraine.

The rebellion by mercenary soldiers who briefly took over a Russian Military headquarters on an ominous march toward Moscow was over.

Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner troops were some of Russia’s most effective fighters in Ukraine. Their aborted takeover of the capital also left their fate uncertain.

Rasmus Hojlund teases Man Utd debut with latest injury update

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has given fans hope that his delayed debut following a big money transfer could be coming sooner rather than later. Hojlund completed a move from Atalanta at the start of August that could eventually reached £72m and was presented to the Old Trafford crowd on the pitch ahead of the pre-season win over Lens. But the Dane has yet been able to get on the pitch properly, forced to miss Monday night's 2023/24 season opener against Wolves won with a solitary Raphael Varane header. That is due to an injury he was already carrying from pre-season with his former club. United did not disclose the exact nature of the problem when the club addressed it, but described it as only "small" and placed a loose time frame of a "few weeks" on Hojlund’s recovery. The 20-year-old has teased that he might not be sidelined for too much longer, sharing a training image on his Instagram stories with both devil and 'soon' emojis. United
