Anthony Edwards demands accountability as Timberwolves face ongoing struggles

Anthony Edwards, known for his fearless demeanor on and off the court, didn't hold back after the Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a 115-104 loss to the Sacramento Kings. The young star, now in his fifth NBA season, offered a blunt criticism of his team's performances, pointing to internal problems as the root of their recent decline. “We are soft (heck) as a team, but not in the way we deal with opponents – internally we are soft,” Edwards said. “We don't communicate, we act like a bunch of kids.

Joel Embiid is set to make his long-awaited return to the Philadelphia 76ers this week, bringing a glimmer of hope to a team that has struggled mightily without him.

The 76ers currently sit at a disappointing 2-7, one of the worst records in the NBA, underscoring their reliance on Embiid's elite play. “Without the big man, we're not where we want t...

Among those under most scrutiny was Kylian Mbappe, whose disappointing performance, capped by a missed penalty, added to an already challenging start to his time at the Spanish club. With Vinicius Junior unavailable due to injury, the stage seemed set for Mbappe to shine and cement his place as the cornerstone of Real Madrid's attack. Instead, the French striker faltered, failing to take advantage of key opportunities and struggling to establish himself against an energetic Liverpool side. Mbappe's frustration was evident all night, and his struggles culminated at the final whistle. After losing possession for the fifteenth time, a sequence...
