    PERIODISTAActualizado:

    La Selección Colombia inicia este sábado una nueva etapa con el primer amistoso después de lo que fue su participación en la Copa del Mundo. Néstor Lorenzo comandará la renovación de uno de los planteles más veteranos de la pasada cita orbital y el primer reto será México en un partido que dará pistas de lo que busca el DT argentino.

    Colombia afronta un nuevo ciclo ya sin nombres del calibre de James Rodríguez, David Ospina y Juan Fernando Quintero. Esta convocatoria tiene nuevas caras y Lorenzo tendrá la tarea titánica de adaptar las piezas a su estilo de juego, explotar su talento y mejorar el nivel mostrado por la Selección en los últimos años.

    Lorenzo habló este viernes en rueda de prensa sobre lo que quiere en este nuevo ciclo que inicia con la Selección Colombia y dio pistas del trabajo que quiere promover y que se debe empezar a reflejar en el amistoso contra México.

    ¿Cómo ha sido el trabajo con estos nuevos jugadores?

    En principio, se han sentido muy cómodos los muchachos que vinieron por primera vez. Han tenido una gran acogida por parte de los más grandes, los que ya estuvieron en proceso con nosotros. Hemos trabajado en volumen durante bastante tiempo. Hay cosas que se deben sostener, inculcar y consolidar. Varios conceptos tácticos. Los nuevos muchachos nos dan ilusión.

    ¿Va a cambiar su estilo ante la ausencia de James Rodríguez?

    La idea debe ser la misma. Es muy difícil cambiar de idea para un DT. Puede cambiar el sistema táctico en algún partido en especial o el plan de juego dependiendo del rival, pero la idea es la misma. Queremos trabajar la posesión del balón, siendo protagonistas y buscando los partidos. La categoría de Juanfer (Quintero) y de James (Rodríguez) no la tiene cualquiera y no la aplica cualquiera. Hay jugadores con mucha calidad, pero la adaptación a la Selección hace que tengan que decidir el momento de cómo y cuándo deben ejecutar alguna jugada magistral o jugada que les aparece. Vamos a seguir con la misma idea y tratando de mejorar lo que se debe mejorar.

  • 3 coaches ready for new journeys in 2026-27 season

    3 coaches ready for new journeys in 2026-27 season

    Jamahl Mosley is excited about the talent the Pelicans have on their roster.

    The NBA coaching carousel was active this offseason, with six teams bringing in new voices to lead their squads.

    This group includes three former NBA head coaches aiming for new heights with new franchises this season: Taylor Jenkins in Milwaukee, Jamahl Mosley in New Orleans and Tiago Splitter in Chicago.

    Before they open their first training camps with their respective teams, here’s a look at what the three returning head coaches are focused on this season.


    Taylor Jenkins, Milwaukee Bucks

    After a six-year run with the Memphis Grizzlies from 2019-25, which included three playoff appearances, Jenkins spent the past year focused on growth in both his personal and professional life — balancing time with his family and staying engaged in the game.

    Through training camp visits to conversations with fellow coaches on Zoom throughout the season, Jenkins examined new trends across the league and evaluated new philosophies he could incorporate into his next opportunity, which begins in Milwaukee as he leads a new era of Bucks basketball.

    Jenkins on joining a Bucks team in transition after the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade:

    “Great opportunity. Obviously, so much great history with Giannis there and with Bobby as well. Championship standards. It’s culture. It’s identity. It’s been done at a very high level in Milwaukee for a really long time. Now we’ve got new faces. We got new individuals, we got new coaches, we got new players, new staff throughout the organization in different departments as well. Just really trying to rally together and figure out like ‘Who do we want to be?’”

    On how Tyler Herro can lead the Bucks offense:

    “As an opposing coach for many years, you see his growth, what he can do on the offensive side, the creativity. We talk about in our system, how we create advantages and how we can maintain advantages. He’s going to be a guy that we’re going to lean into to create advantages for us early in possessions. Obviously, with his ball handling ability and pick-and-roll ability, but then his shooting ability by moving off the ball. Just even watching him last year and kind of tapping into that film, knowing that he’s now on our roster, I can see him fitting in with a lot of the philosophical things we’re trying to do on the offensive side.”

    On Jaime Jaquez and Kel’el Ware’s development:

    “With Jaime, his ability to create advantages, get downhill, be a playmaker, see plays before they even happen, we can put him on different spots of the floor, whether it’s on the perimeter, elbow, mid post, face up, back to the basket. He plays team ball. He’s able to score, but also can really set up his teammates. Great cutter off the ball. He’s just got so many intangibles on both sides of the floor that I’m excited to tap into, and he’s ready to take another step, even on the defensive side, and have his shooting take another jump as well, which we’re going to need.

    “With Kel’el, you just see this guy that’s about to take a huge jump, in my opinion. Obviously, he’s got amazing athletic ability. He’s got an extreme care factor. All these guys that we have now coming in the fold have an extreme care factor, a work ethic. But what he can do to be an anchor for us defensively, a guy that can play both on the interior and the perimeter defensively.”

    On the potential of No. 10 pick Brayden Burries:

    “Super excited about Brayden. He’s just got this quiet, humble, competitive tone to him. I’m still learning the kid, and he’s all about the right things. I mean, unbelievable character. It’s going to be an unbelievable culture fit for us. But you saw what he did in Summer League. I mean, just his poise, poise under pressure, ability to be a playmaker. People had questions about is he a true point guard? I think he’s going to be a lead creator for us. He’s going to be able to set up his teammates. He’s going to be able to score. He’s going to be able to kind of set the table a little bit.”


    Jamahl Mosley, New Orleans Pelicans

    During his five-season stint in Orlando, Mosley developed a young Magic team that won just 22 games in his first season to three consecutive 40-plus win seasons and playoff appearances (albeit first-round exits) to close his tenure.

    Exactly two weeks after being let go by Orlando, he was hired by New Orleans. Once again, he is tasked with taking a young team coming off a win total in the 20s, building a winning culture and elevating them into a playoff contender.

    Mosley on what he takes from his experience in Orlando:

    “They’re all learning lessons. I’m so grateful for the opportunity I had in Orlando for five years because watching those guys grow, how the organization grew, you’re able to take some of those things from there and apply it to your situation. Things that went well, how you played in the regular season, what the defense did, the communications, the relationships you had with each person, they help you grow into the next situation because you should see things, some things that you want to look at, and some things that you would change.”

    On his expectations for Zion Williamson:

    “Coaching against him from afar, just his ability to get downhill, attack the basket, finish and touch over 3s and 2s at the rim, and doing it with force. What he and I talked about and the vision for him is you know continuing that, but then to expand his game, you know to be able to step in when teams are going under, when they’re shrinking the floor, and sitting in the paint, pulling up for that mid-range. And then the other side of it is taking on defensive challenges. He’s too gifted, too athletic, too strong, too with a high basketball IQ to not be able to defend some of the best players in this league.“

    On his excitement to coach Trey Murphy III:

    “Extremely. We went out to L.A. and worked out with him a little bit. I know my defense on some of the clips weren’t as great as it should have been. He’s worked out a ton to get physically bigger. He understands the game, studies the game; he and I looked at some clips together to understand exactly how we can be used within our offense. But then also, again, taking that challenge on defensively, he has all the tools. He has the gifts. He’s got a great basketball IQ, and he cares deeply about being great, and I think him doing that, excels our team to another level.”

    On the development of rising sophomores Derik Queen and Jeremiah Fears:

    “With Derik, the work he’s put in this summer to get his mind and his body in a good space. He spent time with DeAndre Jordan out in L.A. He’s been working on the small aspects of the game, the little details, the fundamentals. He’s not going to blow you away with speed or athleticism, but he’s got an unbelievable IQ. His passing, his feel for the game, his reading of the game – he does a great job there. And now his will and his want to be great is even stepping up even further.

    “Then Jeremiah Fears. I know everybody says it on the broadcast, you hear him talk about his name stands for itself. Like he is fearless, and what I love most about him is that he is a worker like no other. He takes in information, he listens, he studies the game, he reads the game. He wants to be great, and he’s willing to do whatever necessary to be great to help the team win.”


    Tiago Splitter, Chicago Bulls

    Micah Nori inherits the Portland squad that Splitter led last season on an interim basis, taking over after the first game of the season. In his first NBA head coaching stint, Splitter led the Blazers to a 42-40 record and a playoff berth in the Western Conference.

    Now, Splitter takes over a team in Chicago that is building around its young talent, led by this year’s No. 4 overall pick Caleb Wilson. Splitter enters his first training camp and preseason as a head coach.

    Splitter on the biggest influence shaping his view of winning basketball:

    “I have different coaches that helped me throughout my career as a player internationally and, of course, in the NBA. Probably the guy that you guys know the most is [Gregg Popovich]. I played five years for him, where he really taught me how to to become a professional player in the NBA, but also competing at the highest level you know I could be. So, I learned a lot from him.”

    On what a Tiago Splitter Bulls team will look like:

    “Hopefully everybody sees it as this team’s going to compete every night. We’re gonna bring the juice every night. We’re gonna try to do the right things and play the right way, and we’re going to develop. That’s a big part of this young team — see Caleb getting better, Matas (Buzelis) getting better, the whole roster getting better. This is big for us.”

    On his excitement to draft and coach Wilson:

    “We were super excited to get him. Since he came here and his visit was phenomenal, like just connecting with him on the court, off the court, and then I think we don’t know who Caleb Wilson is yet. That’s the intriguing part, that the exciting part about it, because you know he played one way in high school, he played a different way in college, and Summer League he was a different player. He just keeps evolving to a different beast, and that’s how we see it. And we want to give him the help he needs to flourish.”

    On pairing Wilson with third-year wing Matas Buzelis and their development:

    “We got a lot of size in those positions, and athleticism as well. I think Matas is still evolving as a player. He’s still figuring out who he’s going to be, and you know sky is the limit for these guys, and we got to push them, create those standards. I think the most important thing is how we set the tone and create those daily standards for them.”

    On Josh Giddey orchestrating the team:

    “He’s a very cerebral player. We were able to connect early and talk about basketball throughout the summer … We created that connection, and it’s gonna be great for the young guys to have Josh leading them in terms of passing the ball, pushing the pace, finding easy shots, easy cuts, for those players.”

    On the veteran additions of Norman Powell and Nic Claxton:

    “I think they were great, they both fill a positional need that this young core needed. A guy like Norm that can score in different ways, and Nic Claxton just running the floor and being that anchor on defense is something that we needed for this roster, part of the developing of this young team.”

  • 3 first-time NBA head coaches welcome new challenges this season

    Dusty May makes the jump from college to the NBA as the Mavericks’ new head coach

    After an active offseason of coaching moves, six teams have new head coaches this season.

    This group includes three coaches who are NBA head coaches for the first time in their career: Dusty May in Dallas, Micah Nori in Portland and Sean Sweeney in Orlando.

    Before they each open their first training camps with their respective teams, here’s a look at what the three first-time NBA head coaches are focused on this season.


    Dusty May, Dallas Mavericks

    May is a new face within the NBA coaching fraternity. Unlike the other five new coaches this season, May takes the head coaching job in Dallas without any previous NBA experience as either a head coach or an assistant.

    Instead, May cut his coaching chops in the collegiate ranks, reaching the Final Four with Florida Atlantic in 2023 and then returning to the Final Four with Michigan in 2026, going on to win the NCAA championship. After cutting down the nets in April, he was hired by Dallas in June, eager to take the next step in his coaching journey.

    On his path to becoming an NBA head coach:

    “As a coach in my early 20s, I started traveling and watching a training camp each season. So I remember watching Hubie Brown in Memphis, going to see Scott Skiles in Chicago. Try to spend a week each year in NBA training camp because I was fascinated by the best teachers in the game. I never thought that would be an option. There were opportunities early in my career, of getting in a video room at a couple different organizations. But because of the trajectory of my college career, I decided to stay on that path.

    “And the last couple years after FAU going to the Final Four, I started getting some conversations. At that point, I thought I’d probably need to go be an assistant before I could ever become an NBA head coach, and then it just kind of happened. This was always something that I dreamed of doing. I didn’t know if it would be a possibility, but it had always been in the back of my mind, and I’d always watched an obsessive amount of NBA basketball.”

    On what he’s seen in Cooper Flagg and his upside:

    “Especially when you factor in that he’s only 19 years old and the way he operates on a daily basis as far as his unselfishness, being a team first guy, he’s just scratching their surface. I think about how good a passer he is. How capable he is as a rebounder. I think he’s just a guy that can impact the game in every way, and I think there’ll be a lot of triple-doubles in his near future.”

    On having a healthy Kyrie Irving:

    “It’s not only the electricity with the basketball in his hands, he’s so adept at playing off the ball, but most importantly, I’ve been blown away at his IQ, his understanding of the game, his physicality. You don’t realize how strong he is, and we know how quick he is and his finishing ability. But the way he thinks the game and the way he has a solution for anything, we’re going to lean on him as a young group to help us.”

    On first-round pick Morez Johnson Jr. whom he coached at Michigan:

    “Someone in our front office described Morez in the best way, that there’s no game that he can be played out of, meaning sometimes 7-foot-3 guys will be played out of the playoff game because of their inability to cover the perimeter. Wherever the case, there is no game that he can be played off on the floor. His relentless approach, he has no off switch. Every minute is relentless energy, and so he’ll have to check a lot of boxes for us this year as far as energy and toughness.”


    Micah Nori, Portland Trail Blazers

    After 17 seasons as an assistant coach with the Raptors, Kings, Nuggets, Pistons — and the last five with the Timberwolves — Nori takes on his first head coaching job with the Portland Trail Blazers.

    He inherits a team coming off a playoff run and getting a boost in backcourt talent with the return of Damian Lillard and arrival of Ja Morant, ready to take the lessons he’s learned from many mentors and apply them on his own team.

    On the mentors in his career that shaped his philosophy on the game:

    “I’ve been very lucky. It’s been 27 years in this league. A lot of good head coaches, 13 of them, and then worked with four NBA Coach of the Years: Sam Mitchell, Dwane Casey, Lenny Wilkens, going back to George Karl. So a lot of good people I’ve been around and taken something from all of them. Butch Carter was the one that hired me originally in Toronto. I’d be remiss if I didn’t say that a lot of stuff comes from him. But then Kevin O’Neill, some defensive stuff. Sam Mitchell had to do with dealing with players. Lenny Wilkens, I mean, the legend himself; George Karl, Michael Malone, Chris Finch. I mean, the list goes on and on, and I’d have to be a moron if I didn’t take something from all those guys.”

    On the style he wants to implement with the Blazers:

    “Number one, effort, energy. At the defensive end of the floor, just want to make sure we’re very, very aggressive defensively, and making people miss rather than hoping they miss, and impacting there, holding teams to one shot. All those things everybody talks about. Then getting out and run.

    “The one thing that we do have, everybody talks about, we have a lot of smalls. So just to make sure we spread the floor, get out, play with a lot of pace, share the basketball. We have a lot of guys that we have a lot of willing passers. For lack of a better term, a fun brand to watch, and just the way the basketball is supposed to be played … an unselfish, hard-playing team that really gets after the defensive end of the floor.” 

    On adding Lillard and Morant, and how they’ll help returning All-Star Deni Avdija:

    “Adding Dame, who is obviously a perennial All-Star, then getting a talent in Ja, who’s had some injuries of late, I think we’re going to get the best version of both of those guys, which is great. …

    “The way that Deni has been able to show how he can get himself downhill, and the way he gets himself to the free throw line, and he’s another guy that is a willing passer as well. He does draw a crowd, and now with Dame coming back and being able to put some shooting around him and some more playmakers, it should just open up the floor even more for him.”

    On his expectations for Scoot Henderson:

    “With Scoot, it’s like an old adage that Dwane Casey used to say: it’s easier to say ‘Whoa!’ than ‘Giddy up!’ and he’s a guy that plays full force and just and really with a lot of pace at the offensive end. But the steps and strides that he made at the defensive end, getting into the basketball, being able to get into and over screens and impact at that end has been great. I look for Scoot to take a huge jump this season for sure.”

    On the defensive talent parallels he sees between his former team and new team:

    “It’s funny because it’s very familiar to just the situation I just came from in Minnesota, where we had Rudy [Gobert] protecting the rim. You also have Donovan [Clingan], who’s a very good defender. You have Jaden McDaniels, who’s an elite wing defender, and [Toumani] Camara’s right there as well. And then you add Jrue [Holiday], who’s a lot like Anthony Edwards. So, a lot of good defensive players that we have there in Portland who are also good two-way players.”


    Sean Sweeney, Orlando Magic

    It has been a two-decade journey for Sweeney to get his first NBA head coaching opportunity. From video coordinator to multiple assistant coaching jobs to associate head coach last season in San Antonio, Sweeney’s odyssey has culminated in Orlando.

    He takes over a team that has averaged 44 wins and reached the playoffs in each of the past three seasons, but has stalled in the postseason. Sweeney’s recent teams have found playoff success, with the 2024 Mavs and 2026 Spurs reaching the NBA Finals.

    On what he takes away from his experience at the NBA Finals:

    “Going to The Finals is something that you feel very fortunate about being there. All the games are very competitive down to the wire, and it reminds you how close everything is. And it reminds you how important it is to have great players, guys competing at the highest level, making sure that they do the best job with execution, especially when it gets to that critical time of the game. But just overall, being there, being in San Antonio, very grateful for everything that was afforded to me there.”

    On his coaching mentors and influences:

    “I spent a number of years working for Jason Kidd, and owe him a debt of gratitude. Learned a lot from him, both how he coached players, how he coached the staff … Worked for Avery Johnson with the New Jersey and Brooklyn Nets: owe him quite a bit; he’s the one that helped me get into the NBA. Spent a lot of time learning from him. Dwane Casey, someone that I worked for for a number of years in Detroit, who really helped me. 

    “Throughout my whole time in the NBA, probably the person who meant the most to me in my coaching journey and impacted me the most is Tim Grgurich. Throughout that course of time, we were together for over 12 years, he’s really, really special to me and impacted how I see the game, how I see coaching, how I see this teaching profession, and then also the competition piece. What it means to really compete to win each day.”

    On his vision for Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero offensively:

    “Versatility is something that immediately stands out. We talk about Franz, his ability to handle the ball, make good decisions, and also he’s a competitive offensive player. He’s competitive defensively. He’s competitive offensively. I think that’s something that we can leverage with him. Then with Paolo, his ability to score the basketball is something that everybody sees with size and strength. But one of the things that he’s shown the ability to do, is pass the basketball as well. I think both those guys can be put in different areas on the floor, and allow for us to be versatile on offense, looking to attack the paint, and then making decisions from there.”

    On his relationship with Jalen Suggs and development of Anthony Black:

    “Jalen, I’ve known since he was a little kid. He played in the AAU program that I coached way, way back when. So we were about 10 minutes from each other. Obviously, I’m a little bit more advanced in age than him. His screen navigation is something that’s really important, and his point of attack defense is something that I think we can really leverage. I think he’s a guy that when he knows where to be and what to do, he’s got great instincts.

    “Anthony’s somebody who’s shown elite-level transition attack offensively. He’s shown the ability to improve as you see his statistics have gotten better each year. And then defensively, he’s one of those guys you talked about on the ball, off the ball. He can be in different spots, and he can add the rebounding component defensively and offensively, frankly, for our team.”

  • Arquero se negó a tapar un penalti y pidió la revisión del juez: ¿por qué?

    Un hecho insólito ocurrió en el partido entre Wilstermann Cooperativas e Independiente de Cochabamba, por la Copa Simón Bolívar, en Bolivia, luego de que el arquero se negara a atajar un penalti en el último minuto del partido.

    La Liga española de fútbol acompañará el montaje de la remodelación tecnológica del Atanasio Girardot.

    El protagonista fue el portero de Wilstermann, Gustavo Tesonotte, quien cuestionó la decisión arbitral, ya que consideró que la jugada no era falta.

    A pesar de que alegó con el colegiado, Carlos Arteaga le explicó que había cometido una infracción sobre el atacante cuando intentó regatearlo dentro del área.

    Tesonotte se negó a atajar el penalti y, debido a su decisión, el partido tuvo un retraso de 20 minutos por las protestas de los jugadores de Wilstermann Cooperativas y del cuerpo técnico.

    Después de la larga discusión, el jugador Ernesto Adiri, de Independiente de Cochabamba, se paró en el punto penal y terminó convirtiendo el gol de la victoria, luego de que el guardameta se ubicara junto a uno de los postes, de espaldas al balón.

    Antes de la decisión arbitral que condicionó el partido, cuyo resultado era de 2-2, la falta, que según los deportistas fue mal pitada y terminó definiendo el encuentro 3-2, generó todo tipo de reacciones e indignación.

    Al no contar la Copa Simón Bolívar con VAR, la decisión fue aún más difícil, ya que el juez no pudo revisar la acción y terminó manteniendo su decisión inicial.

    De acuerdo con la explicación que dio Tesonotte, no atajó el penalti en forma de protesta, pues aseguró que nunca había tocado al jugador, por lo que consideró que no era penalti.

    Sin embargo, la polémica no terminó allí, ya que la Comisión Nacional de Árbitros de Bolivia determinó que no había sido falta, por lo que suspendió a Carlos Arteaga por tiempo indefinido.

    Para quienes se preguntan si esto está permitido, la Regla 14 de la IFAB (International Football Association Board) establece que el reglamento exige que el portero esté ubicado sobre la línea de meta, entre los dos postes y de frente al jugador.

    No existe una norma que obligue al guardameta a lanzarse, moverse o hacer algún esfuerzo físico para detener el balón, por lo que, si decide quedarse inmóvil, no está cometiendo ninguna infracción procedimental.

    El extremo de la Selección Colombia y del Bayern Múnich, Luis Díaz, decidió no participar en los encuentros amistosos de la fecha FIFA de septiembre y octubre de 2026.

    La decisión, tomada de mutuo acuerdo entre el cuerpo técnico de la selección nacional —encabezado por Néstor Lorenzo— y el club alemán, busca garantizar un periodo de descanso y entrenamiento personalizado para el futbolista, quien se encuentra en territorio germano tras el desgaste acumulado por la cita orbital.

    Acuerdo con la selección y pausa necesaria

    El plan inicial trazado por ambas instituciones contempla la exclusión de Díaz de los compromisos preparatorios frente a México, Paraguay y Perú. 

    Esta medida evita los desplazamientos transoceánicos hacia Estados Unidos, permitiéndole al jugador desconectarse temporalmente de la alta exigencia competitiva.

    Durante este paréntesis, el delantero aprovechó para realizar un viaje de descanso junto a su esposa, Geraldine, y sus hijos en un destino de playa, registros que fueron compartidos a través de redes sociales antes de retomar la disciplina de su club.

    Enfoque en el rendimiento con el Bayern Múnich

    En el ámbito de la Bundesliga, el inicio de temporada del colombiano ha estado marcado por la adaptación y un rendimiento que busca consolidarse, registrando hasta el momento una anotación oficial. 

    Las dos semanas de parón se utilizarán en las instalaciones del club bávaro para ejecutar trabajos específicos orientados a potenciar su velocidad y capacidad de finalización.

    El entrenador del Bayern Múnich, Vincent Kompany, respaldó públicamente al jugador ante los cuestionamientos de la prensa local.

    El estratega belga señaló que el extremo mantiene un alto registro goleador durante las sesiones de entrenamiento, lo que evidencia que las condiciones técnicas se mantienen y que el enfoque actual se centra en trasladar esa eficacia a los partidos oficiales de la temporada.

    Díaz ha sido señalado por la prensa alemana tras un inicio de temporada en la Bundesliga en el que solo cuenta con una anotación.

  • NBA Fantasy: Potential first-time All-Stars to watch this season

    NBA Fantasy: Potential first-time All-Stars to watch this season

    Austin Reaves has the chance to be a first-time All-Star this season with the Los Angeles Lakers.

    The NBA talent pool is growing by the season, with players taking a coveted leap into stardom every so often. Plenty of names are in contention to be a first-time All-Star, which will have heavy implications in fantasy basketball’s 2026-27 season. Here’s a list of potential breakout All-Stars to watch as you draft your fantasy and High Score lineups.


    Cooper Flagg, Dallas Mavericks

    Flagg established himself as an elite fantasy and High Score option in year one, with a perfect opportunity to build entering his sophomore season. At 19 years old, he already has multiple 40-point performances and became the first teenager to record 50 in an NBA game.

    The former No. 1 overall pick and reigning Rookie of the Year is fantastic on both ends of the floor, and with a fully healthy Kyrie Irving returning to the Mavericks, he’ll have weapons around him to maximize his fantasy output.


    Austin Reaves, Los Angeles Lakers

    Reaves is proving to be one of the best undrafted players in recent history, due for a bigger role this year. The 28-year-old most recently averaged 23.3 points, 5.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game before an oblique injury cut his regular season short.

    LeBron James departed from Los Angeles this offseason, but Reaves is now a firm second option next to Luka Dončić, which could lead to better fantasy nights and some massive scoring outbursts for High Score.


    Franz Wagner, Orlando Magic

    The Franz Wagner-Paolo Banchero partnership remains strong in Orlando, and this could be the season in which the German forward joins his teammate as an All-Star. Wagner averaged an impressive 24.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game throughout 2024-25.

    The 25-year-old appeared in just 34 contests in an injury-ladened 2025-26 season, which could mean he’s due for a bounceback season. Wagner could prove to be a sneaky fantasy star to watch on the Magic.


    Stephon Castle, San Antonio Spurs

    It’s no secret that Castle is a budding star for one of the NBA’s top contenders. He proved to be a valuable supplementary piece to Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, but now, there’s legitimate hype for the 2024 lottery pick to take another leap entering year three.

    Take note of Castle’s statistical improvement in the playoffs. Despite it being his first appearance, along many other San Antonio faces, the two-way wing boosted his scoring average to 18.2 points rebounds across 23 games from 16.7 in the regular season. That increase should translate to a 2026-27 All-Star campaign for one of the key members of the reigning Western Conference champions. 


    Kon Knueppel, Charlotte Hornets

    Another rising sophomore, Knueppel could have certainly taken home the Rookie of the Year award last season after being in heavy contention with Flagg — his former Duke teammate — the entire way. Don’t forget, he averaged 18.5 points per game on 48-43-86 shooting splits, setting the single-season rookie record for 3-pointers in a season (273).

    The Hornets made a blockbuster trade this offseason, sending LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves, but that should only mean more opportunities for Knueppel as the lead guard, especially as a reliable High Score option. Charlotte hopes to still be a postseason contender after becoming one of the most exciting stories to watch in 2025-26, so look out for Knueppel to make that All-Star leap.

  • NBA Fantasy: Center tiers rankings for 2026-27

    NBA Fantasy: Center tiers rankings for 2026-27

    Victor Wembanyama highlights the best centers in the NBA entering the 2026-27 season.

    Center is the most top-heavy position in fantasy basketball and how you attack it shapes your entire draft. These 2026-27 fantasy basketball center rankings sort the top 20 big men into five tiers, so you know when a positional run is coming and when you can afford to wait. Each write-up covers scoring, rebounds, blocks and efficiency, plus whether a player fits points leagues, category leagues or a punt build. You’ll also find breakout candidates, injury risks, late-round sleepers and waiver-wire targets among the honorable mentions. Use the tiers as your draft-day cheat sheet, whether you’re picking first overall or hunting value.


    Tier 1

    Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio Spurs

    Wembanyama is entering his fourth NBA season and is already established as one of the most feared players in the league. His size and quickness make him a defensive superstar, while his offensive skillset cements him as an extremely reliable producer of the highest echelon. He is a player who can carry a fantasy team in any format, and it is almost certain that he will not be available later than second overall in any draft on earth.

    Nikola Jokić, Denver Nuggets

    Jokić is perhaps the only player in the league who can challenge Wembanyama right now as the obvious choice for top pick in any fantasy draft. The big man is coming off his second consecutive season averaging a triple-double, and despite last season being the one in which he played the fewest games of his career, he still featured in 65 outings and shot over 56.5 percent from the field for a sixth straight campaign. He dominates any fantasy format.


    Tier 2

    Karl-Anthony Towns, New York Knicks

    Towns has averaged over 20 points per game for 10 straight seasons, with more than 10 rebounds per game in seven of those seasons, including in each of the last two. His ability to contribute across the board and deliver efficient offense makes him a strong choice in any format.

    Alperen Sengun, Houston Rockets

    Sengun has justifiably been given the nickname “Baby Jokić” for a few years now, as his play style and production closely mimic those of the “Joker.” He is 24 years old and entering his sixth NBA season, which means there is still room to anticipate improvement to his already impressive game. He is another player who can bring success in both high-score and category formats.

    Walker Kessler, Los Angeles Lakers

    Kessler is set for a fresh start with the Lakers and is sure to benefit from playing alongside one of the best playmakers in the league, Luka Doncic. Kessler has proven himself a double-double machine who can also block shots, rack up steals and dish the ball with accuracy. Although he was limited to just five games last season, he can be expected to flourish with a clean bill of health in the new environment. His steady production is likely to be more valuable in category leagues than in High Score.

    Bam Adebayo, Miami Heat

    Adebayo is one of a handful of 20-and-10 centers available and has shown that he can go off for major performances that can single-handedly win the week in High Score matchups. He can be expected to remain a top offensive option for his squad and should benefit from the addition of Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat.

    Domantas Sabonis, Sacramento Kings

    Sabonis was limited to just 19 games last season and has been at the center of trade talks for most of the offseason. There are questions about his ability to anchor a defense, which seems to have affected his value on the trade market, but he regularly puts up numbers that would satisfy fantasy managers in any league format.


    Tier 3

    Alex Sarr, Washington Wizards

    Sarr was hampered by injuries in his sophomore season but showed enough to build the expectation that he can blossom into one of the most dynamic centers in the league. With a broad offensive skillset and a knack for blocking shots, he is likely to stuff the stat sheet on most nights. However, he could be seen as a more preferable pick in High Score leagues due to his sub-par free-throw and 3-point shooting, as well as limited assist and steal numbers, which could hurt category-league performance.

    Jalen Duren, Detroit Pistons

    Duren averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds last season, including eight games with at least 30 points, making him a solid choice in high-score formats. He did not show much reliable production in other stat categories, but his efficiency from the field and relative efficiency from the foul line still make him a strong contributor in category leagues.

    Donovan Clingan, Portland Trail Blazers

    Clingan averaged a double-double with good efficiency from the field and impressive shot-blocking numbers in his sophomore season. He also showed the ability to shoot the long ball with confidence. He can be expected to show growth and improvement entering his third season, making him an excellent option in category leagues.

    Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers

    Embiid could easily stand as a top-tier center, but a history of injury trouble makes drafting him more of a gamble than many fantasy managers would prefer. Considering that even if he remains healthy he would likely be subject to some load management, he is a safer choice in High Score leagues.

    Ivica Zubac, Indiana Pacers

    Zubac catapulted his game to a new level over the last couple of seasons, proving that he can step up as a legitimate scoring threat while continuing to put up big numbers on the glass. He is set to begin his first full season with the Pacers, including his first opportunity to play alongside elite playmaker Tyrese Haliburton. Zubac is a solid choice in all formats.


    Tier 4

    Onyeka Okongwu, Atlanta Hawks

    Okongwu is now in firm hold of the starting center job with the Hawks and should thrive in his seventh NBA season. He put up impressive numbers across the board last season, including 1.9 made 3s per game, meaning he should be a stud in category leagues.

    Rudy Gobert, Minnesota Timberwolves

    Gobert is as steady as they come. He fulfills his role with excellent dedication and provides reliable production where expected. For this reason he is a great choice in category leagues, but notably less valuable in High Score.

    Jarrett Allen, Cleveland Cavaliers

    Allen is averaging 15.2 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game through his five full seasons with the Cavaliers. He is a very reliable and efficient producer, but he can also go off for a huge game now and then. He is a good option for all league types.

    Nic Claxton, Chicago Bulls

    Claxton showed notable development with the opportunity to explore his game more freely last season, when he delivered two triple-doubles and averaged a career-high 3.7 assists per game. He would make a good selection in all league formats and is a player who may surprise while enjoying a fresh start with the Bulls.


    Tier 5

    Zach Edey, Memphis Grizzlies

    Edey was limited to just 11 games last season but showed the potential to be one of the most dominant big men in his role. He is a strong choice in category leagues but is unproven as a player who can put up massive single-game numbers.

    Day’Ron Sharpe, Brooklyn Nets

    Sharpe is a player who may not be high on too many managers’ radar, as he has been in a bench role thus far in his career. However, he is in line for the starting job with the Nets this season, and based on the sample size available, it is fair to expect him to be a very strong category-league contributor.

    Neemias Queta, Boston Celtics

    Queta has earned his way to the starting center job for the Celtics and could be up for a breakout season. He can shine on both ends of the floor and should be a safe option for category-league managers.

    Jusuf Nurkić, Utah Jazz

    Nurkić can stuff the stat sheet with the best of them, with the only question being consistency, both in terms of regular production and availability. With possession of the starting job for the Jazz, he is a solid option for High Score managers.

  • Ecuador vs. Corea del Sur: ¿cuánto quedó el partido amistoso de la fecha Fifa y cómo fue el debut de Marcelo Gallardo?

    Hasta el minuto 60, cuando ya perdía por 2-0, la nueva selección de Ecuador del argentino Marcelo Gallardo no remató a portería; por debajo de las expectativas y superada por la presión, la pegada y los dos goles en el segundo tiempo de Corea del Sur, uno de ellos con un fenomenal lanzamiento de falta de Son Heung Min (3-0).

    Un revés indudable y una prueba fallida para la ‘Tri’, de la que se espera más, quizá sea solo cuestión de adaptación y tiempo. 

    Marcelo Gallardo Foto:EFE

    Su recorrido por Asia es solo la primera toma de contacto de su nuevo técnico con un equipo que debe construir y afianzar a su manera. Para ello está la actual fecha Fifa, con varios amistosos con vistas a su conocimiento.

    Pero, en cualquier caso, la impresión de Ecuador en el amistoso de este jueves fue decepcionante. Desde el principio se sintió agobiada por la presión alta con la que preparó Robert Moreno a su nuevo equipo. 

    Ecuador vs. Corea del Sur Foto:EFE

    El técnico español, nombrado seleccionador de Corea del Sur a través del reclutamiento abierto de la Federación del país, también se estrenaba con su conjunto, pero sí le dio un tono más convincente.

    Fue mejor Corea del Sur durante toda la primera hora de un partido intenso. El estreno de los banquillos dotó de un aspecto más que competitivo al duelo. Todos querían convencer. Una oportunidad en la nueva era que se avecina en sus respectivas selecciones. 

    A la media hora, por ejemplo, ya había cuatro amonestados. Inaudito en un amistoso. Tres de Ecuador (Porozo, Arroyo y Jordy Caicedo) por uno de Corea del Sur (Park Jin-seob), también por la rigurosidad del árbitro chino Shen Yinhao. Hubo más tarjetas.

    Nadie disparó entre los tres palos en el primer tiempo, pero el primer remate del segundo de Corea del Sur fue gol. Un afortunado tiro lejano de Oh-Hyeung-Gyu que acabó dentro de la portería de Galíndez por el rebote en Porozo que superó por encima de su media salida. Era el minuto 54. El principio del fin de Ecuador, como refrendó después Son Heung Min.

    Alejado ya de los focos del fútbol del más alto nivel europeo, de la Liga de Campeones y de la Premier League inglesa, Son Heung Min mantiene todo su esplendor técnico y su extraordinario golpeo de balón. El capitán de Corea del Sur no dudó ni un solo segundo, desde que colocó el balón. Sabía lo que iba a hacer, aunque no hubiera demasiado ángulo, plantearse el gol era demasiado atrevido o su tiro debía ser perfecto.

    Ecuador vs. Corea del Sur Foto:EFE

    La parábola con la derecha lo fue, directa a la otra escuadra, sobrepasado el portero Galíndez y la barrera, con una bajada endiablada del balón para terminar en la red entre el asombro de todos. El 2-0 para Corea del Sur, la apoteosis en el estadio de la Copa del Mundo de Suwon. Por entonces, Ecuador ni siquiera había rematado entre los tres palos.

    Sí lo hizo después, a la hora del choque, y más aún con un remate al poste todavía a veinte minutos del final. Fue una reacción tardía, nada del otro mundo, sin tanta pegada como la que había demostrado su rival en el tramo inicial del segundo tiempo. Y aún fue peor para Ecuador, cuando Lee Dong, recién entrado, aprovechó los desajustes atrás para el 3-0.
