Lebanese striker Mohammed Ghaddar’s third stint with Kelantan has been a spectacular one, with the 33-year old forward showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Ghaddar has bagged a staggering 18 Super League (MSL) goals after only 12 rounds were played, and is well on his way to receive this season’s Golden Boot award and become the Super League top-scorer with the most goals in one season in the league’s history....

The Nigerian powered in his third goal of the season since he rejoined the side on loan from English Premier League giants Arsenal during the January transfer window. After failing to secure victory in their last two games, Ron Elsen’s men returned to winning ways with a convincing showing against the Blue-Whites. Alessandro Ciranni opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time for the home team to help them to a 1-0 lead into the break....

The Bobcats said X-rays were negative, but Walker will not return. The 6-foot Walker blocked a shot on one end of the floor and raced up court before stepping on Chris Bosh's foot as he attempted a layup. Walker immediately went down, pounding the court in obvious pain with his fist while holding his leg with the other hand. The Bobcats were leading 64-57 at the time of the injury with Walker having six points and eight assists....

However, Levine did take time out of his busy schedule to comment on the film - asserting that the team is still cautiously interested in bringing BioShock to the big screen. The BioShock project represents another example of the growing caution that video game developers are exercising when it comes to film adaptations of their IP’s. Following on the heals of the announcement that Ubisoft wants an unprecedented amount of control over any attempts at an Assassin’s Creed movie, Levine asserts that while his team at Irrational Games would love to see a great BioShock movie that simultaneously pleases fans and non-fans, any film that can’t strike that balance would only set the franchise back:...

Coyne Schofield participated in last Friday’s All-Star game skills competition, and was invited to be an analyst for NBC’s broadcast of Lightning-Penguins on Wednesday night. She was paired with McGuire throughout the broadcast and before the game started he treated her like a child. “Tampa’s gonna be on your left, Pittsburgh’s gonna be on your right,” McGuire said to her. “What are you expecting out of this game? We’re paying you to be an analyst, not to be a fan tonight!...

They finally got a piece of the action Saturday night. Kennedy pitched six innings to earn his first win since the first week of April, Gordon drove in five runs, and the Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 10-3 for their fifth win in six games. Another of the old guard, Alcides Escobar, had three RBIs while finishing a homer shy of the cycle, and Cam Gallagher ended a 0-for-14 skid with a career-best four hits, in a blowout that set Kansas City up for a shot at a four-game sweep of its AL Central rivals on Sunday....

Asking to become a real boy is a high-risk strategy, legal experts believe, because such wishes are rarely granted in high-profile cases such as the widening Enron scandal. As if to underline that point, attorneys for the Justice Department indicated today that it did not have the power to grant Lay’s unusual request, and forwarded it to Jiminy Cricket, the noted cricket, for further review. But associates of Mr. Cricket said today that it was unlikely that the insect would play “any significant role” in Lay’s becoming a real boy....

Year after year when Wrestle Kingdom 13 finished, the rumors would emerge about Omega’s contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling running out and he would likely have let the potential WWE rumors start floating about to get better leverage and a more favorable contract with NJPW. But with the rise of All Elite Wrestling, Omega was quick to jump ship. The biggest criticism that he’s gotten since then is the fact that he’s become “less relevant”....

Some may chalk it up to Curry simply having an off-night, but that wouldn’t give Caldwell-Pope the credit he deserves. While the Pistons shooting guard had the reputation of being a lockdown defender when he was drafted No. 8 in 2013, he’s made tremendous strides this season when matching up with some of the NBA’s best point guards. In turn, he’s become the Pistons’ secret weapon when they need stops....

Calipari confirmed in a release that Isaac Humphries, a 7-footer from Australia, has signed with UK, a move that had been widely expected since Humphries reclassified from the recruiting class of 2016 to the class of 2015.

Not on this day, however. “He told me he didn’t know I was that good of a player,” Ulis said. “He said he knew I was good, but he didn’t know I was THAT good. He was proud of me.

The measure, which if passed would state that there was no right to an abortion under Kentucky law, was voted against, according to the Associated Press. The measure was intended to enshrine in the state constitution that abortion is not a right, a development that some believed could hurt lawsuits against the state’s abortion ban. The rejection comes as something of a shock for the Republican stronghold state, where incumbent Rand Paul also won in a landslide for Senate on Tuesday night, beating Democratic nominee Charles Booker 61....

Kentucky, many people’s pick to win it all, is ready to drive down the road less traveled. With the familiar voices of Dick Vitale and Matthew McConaughey, the Wildcats released “The Road Begins” hype video. The team doesn’t need any extra motivation, but it’s always nice to get the fans excited for the tournament run. Something about McConaughey’s voice lets people know you mean business.

And the first-year head coach is doing just that. While most coaches around the country have named the starter at the sport's most important position, Stoops doesn't see the fuss over picking a starting quarterback.

For over a decade, Kenyan football has been in the doldrums and 2011 was no different as the country endured a roller-coaster calendar year. Perceived as a regional powerhouse, Kenya ended their football year with the ignominy of crashing out meekly in the group stages of the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup that ended Dec 10. The shameful exit came against the backdrop of renewed optimism following the election of a new Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the re-appointment of Francis Kimanzi as national team Harambee Stars head coach, Xinhua reported....

The German endured a tough campaign last year, but appears close to recapturing her best form, claiming a title to begin the season with a 6-4 6-4 win over Barty. Kerber, who won two grand slam titles in 2016, will carry winning form and confidence into the Australian Open. The title marked the 11th of her career but first since she won since the US Open in 2016. For Barty, 21, it was a fine start to the year, although she was unable to add to her one WTA Tour crown – won in Malaysia in 2017....

Being sleepless in Detroit hasn’t proven such a bad thing for Wagoner & Co. General Motors is now Detroit’s healthiest automaker and much farther along the road to recovery than its crosstown rivals, who are hemorrhaging billions while GM is merely losing millions. And in a large way, Wagoner has Kerkorian to thank for that, analysts say. Sure, the two probably parted ways because Wagoner wouldn’t go along with Kerkorian’s ambitious plan to align GM with France’s Renault and Japan’s Nissan, creating a car colossus that would have controlled a quarter of the world’s auto market....
