Watch: Chris Paul says “personal” feud between he and ref is about his son

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul was ejected from the Game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday after getting a pair of technical fouls at the end of the second quarter.

Son Heung-min sends message to Tottenham fans after injury scare for South Korea

Image
Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has moved to reassure fans after he appeared to pick up an ankle injury during South Korea's 5-0 win over Singapore. Son netted his side's third goal of the game midway through the second half but, towards the end of the match, picked up a knock on his ankle which required treatment and left the 31-year-old in visible discomfort. Spurs fans were immediately concerned by the sight of their top scorer down on the ground but saw their tensions grow as Son remained on the pitch for the final ten minutes, instead pleading for South Korea boss Jurgen Klinsmann to protect their talisman and ensure he does not join Micky van de Ven, James Maddison, Richarlison, Destiny Udogie, Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic and Ryan Sessegnon on the treatment table.

What scoring record has Steph Curry broken in the beginning of this season?

Chase Center was the venue which hosted the Game between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, which Steph Curry’s side lost 118-110 . However, the night will be remembered for something a lot more special: Steph Curry became the oldest player in NBA History to average at least 30.0 points through his first 10 Game s of a season , breaking the record previously held by... himself . The 35-year-old is in his 15th season at the top level , and is still putting up simply stunning numbers in the NBA. He is, at the moment, playing 32.1 minutes per game and shooting at 49.5 percent from the field . However, it is his 3-pointer percentage that is truly sensational, sitting at 45.2% . This year, Curry is making more threes per game than he ever has at 5.7 and, when when we take that number per 100 possessions, this season’s numbers are the second highest of his career , behind only his stellar 2020-21 season record. Last season , the nine-time NBA All-Star averaged

Goal record Goal-getter / Julian Finney/GettyImages While comparing two of the best strikers in the modern history of the Premier League, we obviously had to look at their goal records. In the Premier League, Van Persie managed a whopping 144 goals over an 11 year career in England's top flight, while Suarez bagged 69 in his three-and-a-half seasons. Some pretty basic maths (i.e. knowing that 144 is a bigger number than 69) tells you that RVP scored a lot more goals than Suarez in the Premier League, but he also did so over a m
