Kings Defeat Grizzlies 123-114 in NBA Clash — and more

The Sacramento Kings defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 123-114 in a recent NBA matchup. Video highlights showcasing key moments from the game are accessible online.

The Sacramento Kings snapped their franchise-record 16-game losing streak with a 123-114 win over Memphis on Monday night. Russell Westbrook scored 25 points while Precious Achiuwa added 22 points and 12 rebounds, with DeMar DeRozan and Daeqwon Plowden contributing 20 points each.

Memphis fought back to take an early lead in the third quarter, but the Kings responded with an 18-6 rally to build their first double-digit advantage. Sacramento's 15-4 run in the fourth, capped by a Westbrook three-pointer, secured the win. Both teams have been hampered by injuries, with Memphis having eight players on the injured list for the matchup.

Joan Laporta, outgoing president of FC Barcelona and now a candidate for the club’s presidency, faced the elephant in the room: a lawsuit filed against him and several board members at the Audiencia Nacional (a national court in Spain.) The complaint, reported by El Periódico, accuses him and key executives of money laundering, dodgy commissions, foreign financial dealings, and tax fraud.

“Everything is opaque, suspicious, and nonsense of the highest order,” Laporta said bluntly, dismissing the allegations as part of a long-running effort to undermine him and his candidacy.

The complaint names Laporta, his brother Xavier, five board members, and three club executives, focusing on contracts with Barça Vision, New Era Visionary Group, Limak, Nike, and VIP seating arrangements. According to the lawsuit, these deals concealed illegitimate commissions funneled through companies in Spain, Cyprus, Croatia, Estonia, and Dubai.

The lawsuit comes as Laporta enters as the heavy favorite to win the club presidency again. The former president says the allegations are just an attempt to destabilize his candidacy, and by extension, the club itself.

“There is an interest in harming us. We cannot make all contracts public. Transparency has limits, set by the club’s strategy. Some documents could hurt Barça or contain confidential clauses. Within those limits, we are as transparent as possible. This is normal in business,” Laporta said, defending the club’s approach.

Barcelona itself issued a statement calling the claims “implausible and detached from reality,” warning that legal action could follow against the member who filed the lawsuit and any media that report it as fact.

Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a Jeopardy clue — except no one knew the answer originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

Well, no one on this episode of Jeopardy is an NBA fan.

Because this clue? It was an absolutely wide open layup.

They put a picture of Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the screen.

Then they described everything he accomplished during the 2024-25 NBA season, including his MVP and his championship.

And, well, nothing. Not a single buzz in to guess.

Here's how it looked on the show:

To anyone reading this story on this website, it's probably stunning that SGA wouldn't be known.

But seriously, there are people who don't watch sports, or read about sports, or talk about sports.

Gilgeous-Alexander is a Canadian playing in Oklahoma City. As far as headline grabbers go just to the totally non-sport fan, he doesn't have a lot going for him.

Still, it seems he may have come across the radar once or twice while winning MVP and a ring.

Apparently not. Gilgeous-Alexander will just have to do it all again.
