Report: Marko Milić Leaves Mavericks’ Coaching Staff After Luka Dončić, Lakers Trade | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Luka Dončić isn’t the only one leaving the Dallas Mavericks.
NBA insider Marc Stein reported on Sunday that Marko Milić is no longer on the Mavericks’ coaching staff and “did not wish” to remain with Dončić no longer on the team. Milić was a notable name as the first Slovenian to play in the NBA, but his time with Dallas is over.
The connection with Dončić was obvious, as the five-time All-Star is also from Slovenia.
Milić spent seven years on the coaching staff of the Basketball Federation of Slovenia before the Mavericks hired him before the 2022-23 campaign. He also played professionally for 21 seasons from 1994 to 2015 with stops in seven different countries (Slovenia, Turkey, Spain, Italy, France, Iran and Kuwait).
He came to the NBA as a second-round pick in the 1997 NBA draft and appeared in 44 games across two different seasons for the Phoenix suns.
Milić was never more than a secondary scorer and averaged 2.5 points and 0.7 rebounds per game while shooting 56 percent from the field.
As for the Mavericks, this is more fallout from a shocking trade.
Dončić appeared well on his way to becoming a franchise legend with a Rookie of the Year, five First-Team All-Pro selections, a scoring title, five All-Star Game nods, an NBA Finals appearance and a Western Conference Finals MVP on his resume through just seven seasons.
Yet they moved him to the Los Angeles Lakers in a trade that landed them 31-year-old Anthony Davis.
While Davis is an excellent player himself, it was still stunning to see Dallas move on from the 25-year-old face of its franchise.
Marko Milić, an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks, has reportedly left the team following the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers.Milić, who joined the Mavericks’ coaching staff in 2018, was known for his strong relationship with Dončić and played a key role in his development as a young star in the NBA. However, with Dončić now heading to the Lakers in exchange for a package of players and draft picks, Milić has decided to part ways with the Mavericks.
The news of Milić’s departure comes as a surprise to many in the basketball world, as he was highly regarded for his coaching acumen and ability to connect with players. It remains to be seen where Milić will land next, but his departure is sure to have an impact on the Mavericks’ coaching staff going forward.
In the meantime, the Mavericks will have to regroup and adjust to life without both Dončić and Milić as they look to move forward and compete in the highly competitive Western Conference.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

#Guatemala #Bus #Crash #Nation #World #news #dayKelly Ripa Breaks Down After Sad Family News
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are saying goodbye to a beloved member of their family.
On February 5, the Live With Kelly and Mark co-stars went on the ABC morning program to mourn the loss of their beloved dog, Chewie, who had died the night before. Chewie had been a part of their lives for 17 years (the couple also adopted their other dog Lena in 2021), and after going through a number of complicated health issues, the couple decided to do what they felt was best and put her down.
“We had a rough day yesterday,” Mark sadly began in a clip posted on Instagram. “We had to say goodbye to Chewie yesterday … you think, ‘Okay, I’m doing the right thing, this is going to be not easy but … ‘ It’s probably one of the toughest things we’ve had to do as a married couple.”
As Mark told the audience about the impact Chewie had on them and their kids (sons Michael and Joaquin, along with daughter Lola), Kelly looked despondent and on the verge of tears. Eventually, she broke down on the air, with her head buried in her hands.
“I really thought I got it all out and I apologize because this is not how I wanted this to go down,” she stated. “We’re filled with gratitude for this dog … As each one of our kids left for college and moved out on our own, Chewie remained right there. Our steadfast companion. I feel very bad crying … there are much bigger problems in the world, and I understand that. But you have to understand that this dog was so special, and she was such a great girl.”
“You were a great dog mom, she adored you,” Mark added. “We’re going to get through this … All together, we’re going to get through it.”
Live Kelly and Mark/Instagram When fans saw how emotional Kelly got about the loss of Chewie, words of sympathy immediately flooded the comments.
“Oh heavens, I’m so sorry for this precious loss,” one person wrote. “Ugh this was heartbreaking to watch. I’m so very sorry for your loss. She’ll be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge. ,” another consoled. “Crying with you My heart goes out to you both,” a different follower added.
We’re sending all our love to Kelly and Mark during this tough time.
As the entertainment and news associate editor for Good Housekeeping, Adrianna (she/her) writes about everything TV, movies, music and pop culture. She graduated from Yeshiva University with a B.A. in journalism and a minor in business management. She covers shows like The Rookie, 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy, though when she’s not watching the latest show on Netflix, she’s taking martial arts or drinking way too much coffee.
Kelly Ripa, beloved co-host of Live with Kelly and Ryan, has been known for her bubbly personality and infectious energy on screen. However, the television personality recently faced heartbreaking news that left her visibly emotional on air.During a recent episode of the popular morning show, Ripa shared with viewers that she had received some devastating family news. Fighting back tears, she revealed that a close family member had passed away unexpectedly.
As she struggled to hold back her emotions, Ripa opened up about the deep sadness and shock she was feeling. Her co-host, Ryan Seacrest, and the audience showed their support as she bravely shared her feelings.
Fans of the show took to social media to express their condolences and show their love and support for Ripa during this difficult time. Many praised her for her vulnerability and strength in sharing her emotions with the world.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Kelly Ripa and her family as they navigate through this challenging time. We admire her courage in being open and honest with her fans, and we send her all the love and support during this difficult period.

#Kelly #Ripa #Breaks #Sad #Family #NewsPreview: Leeds United vs. Millwall – prediction, team news, lineups
Sports Mole previews Saturday’s FA Cup clash between Leeds United and Millwall, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Leeds United will put their Championship title bid to one side when they play host to fellow second-tier outfit Millwall at Elland Road in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday lunchtime.
The Whites will be seeking revenge against the Lions after suffering a 1-0 league defeat at The Den in November last year.
Match preview
© ImagoLeeds extended their impressive unbeaten record in all competitions to 14 matches after beating Coventry City 2-0 away from home on Wednesday night, keeping their sixth consecutive clean sheet in the process.
After scoring a brace in the Whites’ thumping 7-0 victory over Cardiff City last weekend, Joel Piroe opened the scoring against Coventry before Jayden Bogle added a second just before the half-hour mark to send the South Yorkshire side five points clear at the top of the Championship table.
Daniel Farke was complementary of his side’s “top-class performance”, but he has encouraged his players to be “much more efficient” and was critical of their “cutting edge” in the final third against Coventry, something that he believes could prove costly against strong opponents.
Leeds will soon face a challenging run of Championship fixtures against Watford, Sunderland, Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion, but they must first turn their attention to the FA Cup as they endeavour to reach the fifth round for the third successive season.
The Whites, who beat Harrogate Town 1-0 in the third round last month, will fancy their chances of success on Saturday as they have won eight of their last nine home meetings with Millwall in all competitions.
© ImagoMillwall failed to win any of their first four Championship matches under the tutelage of new head coach Alex Neil, but they have since come out on top in each of their last three matches, most recently beating Queens Park Rangers 2-1 at The Den last weekend.
Aaron Connolly‘s opener inside just 30 seconds was swiftly cancelled out by an Alfie Lloyd equaliser just three minutes later during a frantic start to the contest, but the Lions had debutant Luke Cundle to thank for netting what proved to be the winning goal on the 25-minute mark.
Nine points accumulated over the space of eight days has helped Millwall climb up to 14th in the Championship standings, 13 points clear of the relegation zone and only four points behind the playoff positions with 16 league games still remaining.
Millwall are now bidding to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time since 2018-19, but they travel to Elland Road this weekend having lost each of their last six ties against teams from the same division or higher than themselves, including a 3-2 defeat against last season’s Championship winners Leicester City.
The Lions, who beat non-league outfit Dagenham & Redbridge 3-0 in the third round last month, have never faced Leeds before in the FA Cup. The only previous cup competition in which they have lock horns with the Whites was the short-lived Full Members’ Cup, winning 2-0 in second-round ties in December 1987 and November 1988.

Team News
© ImagoLeeds’ only injury concern is with striker Patrick Bamford, who is yet to return to training after a spell on the sidelined recovering from a hamstring injury.
Farke has confirmed that he will “probably rotate on a few more than just one or two positions” this weekend, so key players including Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu, Ao Tanaka, Daniel James and Piroe may all begin as substitutes or be rested entirely.
Karl Darlow, Josuha Guilavogui, Pascal Struijk, Sam Byram, Joe Rothwell, Wilfried Gnonto, Mateo Joseph and Largie Ramazani were among those who started in the third-round win over Harrogate, the latter of whom scored the only goal in that game, and they will be hoping to force their way back into the first XI on Saturday.
As for Millwall, Femi Azeez has stepped up his return from injury and has returned to training, while Neil has also confirmed that Josh Coburn is back on the grass. Whether either player makes an appearance in the matchday squad remains to be seen, though.
Shaun Hutchinson and Aidomo Emakhu are also not too far away from a comeback, while Ryan Leonard is targeting a return from a calf injury at the end of March.
Casper De Norre was on target in the third-round win over Dag & Red and he is in contention to start in centre-midfield alongside either George Saville or Billy Mitchell, while the likes of Macaulay Langstaff, Duncan Watmore and George Honeyman will all be pushing for a recall.
Leeds United possible starting lineup:
Darlow; Schmidt, Guilavogui, Struijk, Byram; Gruev, Rothwell; Gnonto, Aaronson, Ramazani; JosephMillwall possible starting lineup:
Jensen; Crama, Tanganga, Cooper, Bryan; Mitchell, De Norre; Watmore, Honeyman, Connolly; Ivanovic
We say: Leeds United 2-0 Millwall
A fiery North-South battle could be on the cards this weekend between two in-form teams who will back themselves to reach the fifth round. Leeds will be regarded as favourites to come out on top, though, and should find a way to get the better of the Lions, even if Farke is to make multiple changes to his lineup.

Leeds United will face off against Millwall in a highly anticipated match this weekend. Both teams will be looking to secure three points and continue their strong start to the season.Prediction:
Leeds United are currently sitting at the top of the table with an impressive record, while Millwall are not far behind in the standings. This match is sure to be a close battle, but with Leeds’ strong form and home advantage, they are likely to come out on top. I predict a 2-1 win for Leeds United.
Team News:
Leeds United will be without midfielder Kalvin Phillips, who is serving a suspension after picking up a red card in their last match. However, they have a strong squad and are expected to field a competitive lineup.
Millwall will be missing striker Tom Bradshaw, who is out with an injury. They will need to rely on their other attacking options to step up and fill the void.
Lineups:
Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Struijk, Dallas, Klich, Rodrigo, Harrison, Raphinha, Bamford, Roberts
Millwall: Bialkowski, Romeo, Hutchinson, Cooper, Malone, Woods, Leonard, Wallace, Wallace, Bennett, Smith

Feb 07, 2025 07:13 AM IST
Live streaming details for the Al Nassr vs Al Feiha Saudi Pro League football match.
Just over halfway into the Saudi Pro League season, and Al Nassr have fallen well behind the pace in terms of the title race. They find themselves in fourth place, 11 points off current league leaders Al Ittihad. It’s been an inconsistent season for Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, as regular dropping of points has kept them off the top as the Portuguese superstar looks for his first league title in Saudi Arabia.
Al Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo scores their second goal from the penalty spot vs Al Wasl in the Asian Champions League.(REUTERS) The next fixture for Al Nassr sees them host Al Feiha at the Alawwal Park in Riyadh, where Ronaldo and company will be looking to rack up a fifth consecutive win in what has been a strong run of form after a choppy start to the season.
Al Feiha, meanwhile, sit in a lowly 13th place in the table, just two points ahead of the relegation zone and in danger of falling into trouble if they don’t string together points. Former Manchester United and England defender Chris Smalling is on the books at Al Feiha, but the centreback knows he faces a tough task against an attack boasting of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and new star striker signing Jhon Duran.
Ronaldo has risen to the top of the goalscoring charts in the division, having struck 15 goals in Al Nassr’s 18 games so far, sitting ahead of players such as Karim Benzema and Aleksandr Mitrovic in the golden boot standings. All eyes will be on him in this contest, as always.

Mac McClung, Castle and All Participants Revealed for 2025 NBA Slam Dunk Contest | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Tim Hawk/NBAE via Getty Images
The NBA Slam Dunk Contest participants are set.
This year’s event will feature Orlando Magic G Leaguer Mac McClung, San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle, Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis and Milwaukee Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr.
The Dunk Contest will take place on Feb. 15 at 8 p.m. ET in San Francisco.
NBA @NBA
The 2025 <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/ATTSlamDunk?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#ATTSlamDunk</a> field! <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/StateFarmSaturday?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#StateFarmSaturday</a>: 2/15, 8:00pm/et on TNT <a href=”https://t.co/f3pm8b0vmS”>pic.twitter.com/f3pm8b0vmS</a>
McClung might not be a familiar name to many NBA fans as he’s played just five NBA games since 2021 and has appeared in just one game this season. But those who tuned into the last two dunk contests are well aware of who McClung is.
McClung, who first gained recognition for his ridiculous dunks in high school, has won the last two dunk contests.
McClung is the veteran in this year’s dunk contest, as the other three players will be participating for the first time.
Castle, the No. 4 pick in the 2024 draft out of UConn, is putting together a phenomenal rookie year, averaging 12.2 points per game and making a strong case for Rookie of the Year. His first year in the league has, of course, included a handful of big dunks.
Buzelis was the No. 11 pick in the 2024 draft after cutting his teeth with G League Ignite rather than the traditional college route. His rookie year hasn’t been very notable thus far as he’s putting up just 5.4 points per game, but he’s looking to turn heads in the Dunk Contest.
Jackson, a second-round pick in the 2023 draft, is averaging 4 points and 3.3 boards per game this season, playing 17.5 minutes per contest. He should bring some exciting dunks to this year’s event as he clearly doesn’t lack any bounce.
This year’s Dunk Contest isn’t exactly a star-studded affair, but it should, like always, have plenty of excitement.
Exciting news for basketball fans as the participants for the 2025 NBA Slam Dunk Contest have been revealed, and it includes some big names like Mac McClung and Castle. The lineup promises to be an electrifying showcase of athleticism and creativity as these high-flying players compete for the title of the best dunker in the league.Mac McClung, known for his explosive dunks and highlight-reel plays, is sure to bring some jaw-dropping moments to the contest. With his incredible leaping ability and flair for the dramatic, he is definitely a frontrunner to take home the trophy.
Castle, a rising star in the NBA known for his acrobatic dunks and impressive hang time, will also be a strong contender in the competition. Fans can expect to see some gravity-defying slams and innovative moves from this young phenom.
The rest of the participants have yet to be announced, but with the likes of McClung and Castle already confirmed, this year’s Slam Dunk Contest is shaping up to be one for the ages. Stay tuned for more updates on the event, including news, scores, highlights, stats, and rumors as we get closer to the big day. Get ready to witness some of the most incredible dunks you’ve ever seen as these players take flight and compete for dunking supremacy.

Sports Mole previews Tuesday’s Coppa Italia clash between Atalanta BC and Bologna, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
This season’s Coppa Italia quarter-finals, featuring only top-flight sides, will see Atalanta BC host Bologna at the Gewiss Stadium on Tuesday in what will be the first-ever cup meeting between the sides.
La Dea reached this stage of the competition after thrashing Serie B side Cesena 6-1, while the Red and Blues eased past Monza with a 4-0 victory.
Match preview
© ImagoEntering their round of 16 clash against Cesena as clear favourites, Atalanta took control early, with Davide Zappacosta opening the scoring in the fourth minute, followed by a brace from Charles De Ketelaere around Lazar Samardzic‘s 27th-minute strike.
The rout continued in the second half, with Marco Brescianini adding the fifth, Samardzic grabbing his second, while Joseph Ceesay scored a late consolation as the Goddess cruised into the next phase of the competition.
This marks Atalanta’s fifth consecutive quarter-final appearance, having progressed in two of the previous four to reach the final, where they were defeated 2-1 by Juventus in 2020-21 and 1-0 last term.
Standing in the Nerazzurri’s way of matching last season’s feat is a Bologna side they have struggled against in recent times, failing to win any of the last four meetings – albeit all in the league – with three defeats and a draw.
Gian Piero Gasperini‘s men head into this clash off the back of a 1-1 stalemate against Torino in Serie A, a result that leaves them third in the standings, six points adrift of league leaders Napoli despite playing one more game.
© ImagoMeanwhile, Bologna could not have asked for better timing, as they will look to exploit La Dea’s vulnerabilities on the domestic front, with the hosts managing just one win in their last seven such encounters.
Rossoblu themselves have fared better recently in Italian competitions, winning two of their last three matches, including a 2-0 triumph over Como last time out, which lifted them to sixth in the Serie A standings.
That result also extended the Red and Blues’ unbeaten run across all competitions to seven games, comprising three wins and four draws.
Bologna will look to carry this momentum into Tuesday’s cup clash as they aim to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1998-99, when they were eliminated by Fiorentina.
It is worth noting that Vincenzo Italiano‘s side have now reached the quarter-finals in back-to-back seasons after proving too strong for Monza, who crumbled under goals from Tommaso Pobega, Riccardo Orsolini, Benjamín Domínguez and Santiago Castro.

Team News
© ImagoAtalanta have three players on the treatment table, with Giorgio Scalvini (shoulder), Ademola Lookman (knee) and Odilon Kossounou (hamstring), all sidelined for Tuesday’s encounter.
Given the calibre of the opposition, Gasperini is expected to name a strong lineup, with the club’s top scorer this season, Mateo Retegui, set to lead the line.
Rui Patricio made only his second appearance for La Dea last time out, having also featured in the cup win against Cesena, and he could retain his spot between the sticks on Tuesday.
Bologna will be without Lewis Ferguson, who is ruled out with a hamstring injury, while Orsolini remains a doubt, having missed the last three games with the same issue.
Castro may get the nod ahead of Thijs Dallinga in the centre-forward role, with the former expected to return to the lineup after starting on the bench against Como.
Atalanta BC possible starting lineup:
Patricio; Kolasinac, Hien, Djimsiti; Bellanova, Ederson, De Roon, Ruggeri; De Ketelaere, Samardzic; ReteguiBologna possible starting lineup:
Ravaglia; Holm, Lucumi, Beukema, Lykogiannis; Freuler, Pobega; Ndoye, Odgaard, Dominguez; Castro
We say: Atalanta BC 2-1 Bologna
This encounter looks finely balanced and could even go beyond regulation time, given Atalanta’s struggles for wins and Bologna’s recent resilience.
However, the hosts may have the edge, backed by their pedigree in this competition and the advantage of playing at home.

Atalanta BC will face off against Bologna in a crucial Serie A match, with both teams looking to secure valuable points in the race for a top-four finish. Here is a preview of the upcoming game, including predictions, team news, and possible lineups:Prediction:
Atalanta BC have been in impressive form recently, winning their last three league matches. With their potent attack led by the likes of Duvan Zapata and Luis Muriel, they will be looking to continue their winning streak against Bologna. However, Bologna have also been in good form and will pose a tough challenge for Atalanta. This match is likely to be a closely contested affair, with both teams capable of scoring goals. I predict a 2-1 win for Atalanta.Team News:
Atalanta will be without the services of midfielder Matteo Pessina, who is sidelined with an injury. However, they will have their key players available for selection, including captain Papu Gomez and goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini. Bologna, on the other hand, will be missing the likes of Gary Medel and Federico Santander due to injuries. However, they will have their top scorer Musa Barrow leading the attack.Possible Lineups:
Atalanta BC: Gollini; Toloi, Romero, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Gomez, Zapata, Muriel.Bologna: Skorupski; Tomiyasu, Danilo, Denswil, Dijks; Poli, Schouten, Svanberg; Orsolini, Barrow, Sansone.
Overall, this match promises to be an exciting encounter between two attacking-minded teams. Both Atalanta BC and Bologna will be looking to secure a vital win, and it will be interesting to see how the match unfolds. Stay tuned for the final result and match analysis.

#Preview #Atalanta #Bologna #prediction #team #news #lineupsRoger Goodell Calls Out ‘Ridiculous Theory’ About NFL Refs Favoring Chiefs | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for their third straight Super Bowl appearance on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, they’re still facing detractors who believe they reached this point because they get favorable calls from officials.
“It reminds me of the script, that I write a script for the entire season… It’s a ridiculous theory, for anyone who might take it seriously,” Goodell said.
Goodell added that the league is constantly exploring ways to improve its officiating and may add ways to review plays, such as facemask penalties, going forward.
“I’m proud of what they do, but that doesn’t mean we’re not trying to get better,” Goodell told reporters.
When asked if there would be a penalty for players like Kansas City star quarterback Patrick Mahomes flopping to draw penalties, Goodell said he doesn’t view that as a significant issue, but he wouldn’t be surprised if the competition committee discussed it in the future.
The Chiefs’ 15-2 finish to the 2024 season wasn’t without its hardships. Many wins came down to the last minute, as Kansas City was fortunate to have some calls go their way. Of course, that didn’t help the perception that the back-to-back reigning Super Bowl champions were being gifted the opportunity to achieve the first three-peat in modern NFL history.
For example, in the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills, star quarterback Josh Allen was ruled short on a crucial fourth-down play despite appearing to have picked up the first down. The play swung the momentum in the Chiefs’ favor, helping them secure a 32-29 win. Unsurprisingly, the controversial play was one of the biggest talking points after the game.
Fans will certainly be paying close attention to Sunday’s Big Game, as the Eagles will be the last to try their hands at knocking the Chiefs from their perch. Any questionable plays that work in Kansas City’s favor will certainly be under a microscope following the Super Bowl.
In a recent press conference, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the growing speculation that NFL referees are favoring the Kansas City Chiefs in their games. Goodell called the theory “ridiculous” and stated that the league takes the integrity of the game very seriously.Goodell went on to explain that all NFL referees are held to the highest standards and are trained to make unbiased and fair calls during games. He emphasized that any accusations of favoritism towards a particular team are not only unfounded but also damaging to the reputation of the league.
The controversy surrounding the alleged favoritism towards the Chiefs has been fueled by several close calls and controversial decisions in their recent games. However, Goodell stressed that these incidents are simply part of the game and should not be taken as evidence of any wrongdoing on the part of the officials.
As the Chiefs continue their quest for another Super Bowl title, it is clear that the spotlight will remain on both the team and the referees. But according to Goodell, fans can rest assured that the NFL is committed to ensuring that every game is officiated fairly and without bias.

Fulham news: Cottagers in talks to re-sign Willian
Fulham are in talks to re-sign Willian as a free agent after he cancelled his contract with Olympiakos.
The 36-year-old is in London as the two sides look to agree a deal which would fulfil boss Marco Silva’s request to sign a winger in the winter transfer window.
Willian was in attendance at Chelsea’s match at home to West Ham at Stamford Bridge on Monday night as talks between Fulham and the Brazil international’s team continue.
The deal does not need to be rushed before the deadline at 23:00 GMT as Willian is a free agent.
