Luka Dončić recorded 23 points (6-of-16 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday’s exhibition against the Kings.
Dončić picked up a technical foul during the third quarter of Thursday’s exhibition, but this is a good time for that to happen since they don’t carry over into the regular season. Dončić led the Lakers in points and shot attempts, and that will once again be the norm when the regular season begins. Currently boasting a top-5 ADP, Luka’s fantasy ceiling rises slightly in turnover-punt builds.
If you’re reading this, it’s a given that you love sport - well, at least Sunderland AFC and football in general. I love all sports. I always have. It’s probably my Dad’s influence because, ‘back in the day’, the television was the magic box in the corner of the room. There were no mobile phones, Xboxes, PlayStations, etc., to draw us away from family viewing. Any form of ‘play’ was done outside with mates, or, if we were confined to indoors, Subbuteo or Scalextric. Photo by Haywood Magee/Picture Post/Hulton Archive/Getty ImagesSo my Dad would watch all sorts of sport on television, including rugby league and union, cricket, athletics, golf, horse racing, snooker, boxing and even crown green bowls! For those of a similar age, this meant we grew up being fans of Sportsnight with Coleman, Floodlit Rugby League, Pot Black, Big Break, Test Match Special, Grandstand and, of course, Match of the Day. I’ve continued to follow many sports throughout my life, even branching out to those that got very little coverage on TV. In my late teens and early twenties, I discovered Speedway and was a regular at Brough Park to watch Newcastle Diamonds with Ivan Mauger or Kenny Carter.
LCCVI outscored North Lambton, 8-6 in high school baseball at Morrison Field on Monday. It was the Eagles first loss of the season after four straight victories.
The Lancers continued to score on Tuesday, getting a 19-3 win over Wallaceburg to improve their record to 4-1.
For the 49ers, Sunday’s game in Seattle is as big a Week 5 game as it can get. First place in the NFC West is on the line, and if the Niners can win it, they’ll have a multi-game lead in the division with tie-breaking wins over both the Rams and Seahawks. That’s a nice little cushion in the league’s most competitive divisional race. San Francisco-Seattle games are always bitter, but the 49ers carry an extra layer of resentment into this tilt after how last season ended, with the Seahawks defense stuffing their offense in a locker twice in three weeks, including a 41-6 beatdown in the NFC Divisional Round. It probably means a little more for 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Brock Purdy, who have spent the last few years tearing through defenses but always seem to struggle against Seahawks coach Mike MacDonald. In their first matchup, when MacDonald was calling plays for Baltimore’s defense, Purdy threw four interceptions in a 33-19 loss on Christmas night that ended his MVP campaign back in 2023.
Blake bagged a goal, tallied an assist, put two shots on net and dished out two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over Chicago. Blake tallied Carolina's third goal of the night before recording the primary helper on Taylor Hall's goal later in the second period. The 23-year-old Blake's goal Saturday was his first of the 2026-27 campaign, where he's up to seven points and 16 shots on net across six appearances. He's currently riding a five game point streak and is poised to be involved offensively all year long from the Hurricanes' top six. Blake could reach the 50-point threshold again in 2026-27, which would make him a strong fantasy option in deep leagues with plenty of upside as a weekly streamer in shallow leagues.
Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Two-point effort in rout
Journalist Rick Westhead says he loves the game of hockey but it has to do a much better job at every level to protect players from sexual assault and horrific hazing behaviours.

The Indian Premier League remains the only Asia Pacific sports property priced at the top of the global market, according to new research from Media Partners Asia, which expects growth in the region’s sports rights fees to slow to 1%–2% a year through 2030, down from about 10% a year since 2021.
The cricket league earns about $12.4 million a match, in line with the Premier League, MPA said. Korea’s KBO baseball league earns about $100,000. India accounted for more than half of the increase in the region’s rights fees since 2021, and 64% of all fees is now concentrated in the 12 most valuable rights packages.
Ten teams make the Women’s Soccer Big Ten Tournament in November. Nebraska soccer is currently on the outside looking in, ranked 12th. The Huskers drew 0-0 with the Terrapins on Oct. 8 in College Park, marking their fourth scoreless draw this season. Nebraska didn’t improve its postseason resume, as Maryland registered its first conference draw after starting Big Ten play 0-6. After facing five straight ranked opponents, the program's hardest stretch in history, the Huskers' competition eased as they faced the Terps, the Big Ten’s last ranked team. To make the postseason, Nebraska needed to win favorable matches going forward. It struggled to get shots on goal against the Terrapins. Before this game, Nebraska had lost the shot-total battle in four straight matches. NU only had two shots in the first half. In its last win, Nebraska defeated No. 20 Michigan on Sunday, Sept. 27, as sophomore midfielder Karli Williams found senior defender Reese Borer for a header to win in the final minutes. This match started back-and-forth, but the Huskers looked for Borer on two high-quality chances.
