  • When Does ‘Reacher’ Season 3 Come Out On Amazon?


    Life is kind of messy right now (understatement), so thank goodness that Reacher‘s third season will arrive to collectively punch some baddies.

    Alan Ritchson’s Big Guy will touch down in Maine to adapt Lee Child’s Persuader novel, and in the process, he will stared upward at a Bigger Guy, Paul “Paulie” Masserella, who will be embodied by Oliver “The Dutch Giant” Ritchers. He’s a frightening specter even when not frowning, and Ritchers has been known to gobble 1000 calories in 3 minutes to keep his World’s Tallest Bodybuilder title going strong. Ritchson vs. Richers.

    Also, Reacher will embark upon an undercover mission, and I can’t get that into my eyeballs soon enough.

    When Does Reacher Season 3 Come Out?

    February 20, 2025. Amazon’s synopsis lays the drama on thick:

    Based on Lee Child’s novel Persuader, Reacher hurtles into the dark heart of a vast criminal enterprise when trying to rescue an undercover DEA informant whose time is running out. There, he finds a world of secrecy and violence and confronts some unfinished business from his own past.

    Ritchson and Ritchers will be joined by Maria Sten in her continuing role as Frances Neagley. Additionally, Anthony Michael Hall will be onboard as the head villain of the season, and because Reacher always needs a love interest, Sonya Cassidy will portray DEA Agent Susan Duffy (tough job, someone’s gotta do it, you know the drill).

  • Mavs’ Dante Exum To Make Season Debut On Friday


    4:36 pm: Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd confirmed that Exum will be available on Friday to make his season debut, tweets Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News. Exum will be on a 15-minute limit, according to Kidd.


    4:26 pm: Mavericks point guard Dante Exum, who has missed the first 48 games of the season while recovering from surgery on his right wrist, appears set to make his season debut on Friday, reports NBA insider Marc Stein (Twitter link).

    Exum is officially listed as questionable to play in Detroit on Friday night, so the Mavs themselves have yet to confirm he’s been cleared to return. But Stein’s reporting suggests he’s on track to suit up, barring any last-minute setbacks.

    The expectation is that Exum will play limited minutes, Stein adds. Still, there could be a path to an immediate role for the former No. 5 overall pick, given Dallas’ injury woes — Luka Doncic (left calf strain), Dereck Lively (right ankle stress fracture), Dwight Powell (right hip strain), and Maxi Kleber, who underwent surgery this week to repair a right foot fracture, according to a team press release, are all sidelined.

    Exum, who returned to the NBA last season after spending two years overseas, was a valuable role player for the Western Conference champions, averaging 7.8 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game across 55 appearances (17 starts). He posted a .533/.491/.779 shooting line and was one of the team’s best point-of-attack defenders.

    He spoke on Wednesday about the long recovery from his wrist injury, as Eddie Sefko of Mavs.com relays.

    “I think it would have been a lot easier if it was my left hand,” Exum said. “But it being my shooting hand and having to get the touch and the shooting form back, obviously, made it a little bit tougher.

    “… It was hard for me to see everyone out there playing. And then with the season going on and seeing guys go down and having less and less bodies on particular nights, wishing I could just be out there to help for five or 10 minutes. It’s been tough. But being around the guys and everyone stayed connected. I can’t wait to get back on the court.”





    The Dallas Mavericks have announced that guard Dante Exum is set to make his season debut on Friday. Exum, who was acquired by the Mavericks in a trade with the Houston Rockets earlier this season, has been recovering from a calf injury that has kept him sidelined for the first few months of the season.

    The 26-year-old guard is known for his defensive prowess and ability to play both guard positions. His return is expected to provide a boost to the Mavericks’ backcourt rotation and add depth to the team’s roster.

    Mavericks fans are eager to see Exum in action and are hopeful that his presence on the court will help the team continue their strong start to the season. Be sure to tune in on Friday to see Exum make his season debut and help the Mavericks in their quest for a playoff berth.

  • Denver Broncos’ Patrick Surtain II celebrating his season at the Pro Bowl Games


    Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II isn’t one of those all-stars who’s looking to duck the Pro Bowl Games. The former Alabama All-American is taking part on Sunday for the third consecutive season.

    “I think it’s important to celebrate your accolades,” Surtain said during an appearance on FanDuel TV’s “Up and Adams.” “I think you need to celebrate the season you had. Have a good time here with the activities they have lined up for us, but also enjoy time to really talk football amongst your peers, amongst the best around the league. You won’t get that from here and there, so I think it’s a good time to really talk football with guys, but also catch up with certain guys around the league. So I think it’s a good time to spend time with family, kick it up, have fun doing and playing a game that you love at the end of the day.”

    Selection to the AFC team for the Pro Bowl Games is only one of Surtain’s honors for his 2024 performance. The Associated Press and NFL Players Association included him on their All-Pro teams, and the Pro Football Writers of America voted Surtain as All-NFL.

    The PFWA has already announced Surtain as its NFL Defensive Player of the Year for the 2024 season, and he’s a finalist for The Associated Press’ version of that award, which will be presented at the annual NFL Honors program on Thursday night.

    “I thought about it a lot,” Surtain said of the AP award. “Honestly, it’s such a surreal feeling to be mentioned amongst your peers in that way. I mean, it just goes to show you the season that I had and the goals that I had aligned in mind. And holding that trophy would be such a huge honor because not only would it be an honorable trophy, but I’ll be back in New Orleans where most of my family is from, so it would definitely be a huge honor for me and my family. And I just can’t wait to see what happens.”

    Despite his performance this season, Surtain is looking for a better one in 2025.

    “It’s always things I could improve on,” Surtain said at his end-of-season press conference after the Broncos bowed out in a 31-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 12, “whether it’s getting stronger, getting faster, getting quicker, little things like that, little nuances throughout my game that I could work on. But that’s like every offseason. You find little things that you could work on, and you sort of build on that.”

    In 2023, Denver finished 27th among the 32 NFL teams in scoring defense. This season, only two teams yielded fewer points than the Broncos, adding to the strength of Surtain’s credentials for postseason recognition.

    “Defensively, we set a standard for ourselves,” Surtain said, “and went out there and proved it each and every week. And that is very fundamental to our success. Obviously, the rush up front, the coverage in the back end, so I think when you tie those two pieces together, I mean, it sets you up for success. And that’s what we did the whole year.

    “And I’m looking forward to building with these guys. Obviously, this was Year 1 with a new group, and I’m excited for the future, because we’ve got a lot of young pieces that’s going to build and mature and grow in their game as well, too.”

    The turnaround on defense helped Denver reach the postseason for the first time since the 2015 campaign and Surtain to attain some personal goals.

    “Reaching that stage, I think is a huge accomplishment for us as a team,” Surtain said. “… I think we exceeded a lot of people’s expectations, but we knew what type of team we had going into the year. We was young, hungry and determined to reach that point in the season. And I think throughout the season, we had our ups and downs, but we were able to prevail and sort of set us up for success along the lines of the season. And it was good to finally reach that playoff spot. It was good for Broncos country to reach it, something we haven’t done in, what, eight years, so that was huge.

    “And, obviously, All-Pros, Pro Bowl, that’s always a goal in mind for the season to capture that. But Defensive Player, yeah, that was a goal I had in mind, but that’s something that you definitely got to work for. And I had my mindset on it that I was going to be a finalist for that and, hopefully, win it, so it was something that I envisioned, something I had in mind. And the season that I had, I think I’ve proven it to be so.”

    The Broncos posted a 10-7 regular-season record, with six of the losses coming by seven or fewer points.

    “If you look at it, we’re pretty close,” Surtain said. “A lot of those losses were one-score games, close games, so I think we’re there. It’s just about finishing, and good teams find a way to finish at the end of the day. And that’s where we need to get to because we’ve got the talent. We’ve got the right pieces, so I think the next thing we need is to hone in on finishing big-time games and knowing how to win.”





    The Denver Broncos’ star cornerback, Patrick Surtain II, is celebrating a standout season as he represents the team at the Pro Bowl Games. Surtain, a rookie sensation, has made a huge impact on the field with his exceptional coverage skills and playmaking ability.

    Throughout the season, Surtain has shown why he was a top-10 draft pick, shutting down some of the league’s best receivers and making crucial plays in key moments. His stellar performance has not gone unnoticed, as he has earned a well-deserved spot in the Pro Bowl Games.

    Surtain’s presence at the Pro Bowl Games is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and talent. Broncos fans are thrilled to see him showcase his skills on a bigger stage and represent the team with pride.

    Congratulations to Patrick Surtain II on a fantastic season and best of luck at the Pro Bowl Games! Broncos Country is behind you all the way. #Broncos #ProBowlGames #PatrickSurtainII

  • USC women run win streak to 15 games, continue historic start to season


    Playing its first home game in 18 days, the USC women’s basketball team gave an impressive crowd inside Galen Center what it came to see Thursday night.

    The No. 4-ranked Trojans built a quick double-digit lead in the first quarter and went on to close out an 82-69 win over Minnesota, running their win streak to 15 games — the longest for the program since the 1982-83 season.

    Kiki Iriafen led the way with 23 points and 11 rebounds on 9-of-11 shooting, JuJu Watkins had 20 points and 11 boards and freshman Avery Howell added 12 points off the bench as the Trojans improved to 19-1 overall — the best start for USC since 1981-82 — and 9-0 in the Big Ten.

    Sophie Hart had 18 points and 8 rebounds for Minnesota (18-4, 6-4) while Mallory Heyer added 17 points and 7 boards.

    That the Trojans made it look so easy yet again against one of the better teams in the Big Ten was the latest reminder that they are scripting a very special season.

    “It was nice to be home. Our crowd is continuing to be amazing. It was a long time that we didn’t get to play here,” USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. “Minnesota is a really good team. I told the team a number of times, they had the same number of wins as us. They’re at the top section of the conference, and we thought we took care of business.”

    USC had its long stretch away from home in part because its Jan. 15 home game vs. Northwestern was postponed in the wake of the fires across Los Angeles.

    In their return to Galen Center, the Trojans were without starting center Rayah Marshall due to injury and Watkins started the game 0 for 10 from the field in the first half before finding her rhythm offensively.

    None of that mattered as the Trojans led 25-15 after the first quarter led by 9 points from Iriafen and 6 from Talia von Oelhoffen.

    The game never got closer than 6 points the rest of the way. Minnesota opened the fourth quarter on a 9-0 run, but USC scored 10 of the next 12 points — including 7 straight from Watkins — to pull away comfortably.

    “We didn’t know that Rayah wasn’t going to play until this morning, so I thought other people stepped up finding different ways to win,” Gottlieb said. “I think our freshmen, who got significant minutes, were really, really good and they keep getting better, which is exciting. And at the same time, I think our standards are really high — we could have been cleaner offensively and defensively in that second half so we’ll have some good film to learn from it as well.”

    As for Watkins’ slow start …

    “I thought her teammates really lifted her up. The fact that people are going to continue to give us open 3s when she’s crowded and we continue to knock them down — that’s the second game in a row that I think we’ve made 11 3s — I think will eventually make people really have to make decisions,” Gottlieb said. “But I think she’s a very mentally tough human being and basketball player and finds a way at some point to figure it out. … I don’t think any of us were surprised the shots went down in the second half.”

    Iriafen notched her seventh double-double of the season and Watkins her fourth. Watkins has scored in double figures every game this season.

    Howell, meanwhile, tied her high with 4 3-pointers for the second straight game and is 8-for-13 from long distance in that span.

    “I’m always in the gym, whether that’s outside of practice or during practices, but I think just I’m getting more comfortable with the role and the attention other people on our team draw,” she said. “I think I’m doing a better job finding gaps and putting myself in the best position to be a pressure release for them.”



    The USC women’s basketball team is on fire this season, extending their win streak to an impressive 15 games. With each victory, they continue to make history and solidify their status as a powerhouse in college basketball.

    The team’s relentless determination and cohesive teamwork have been the driving forces behind their success. Led by their talented roster of players and a skilled coaching staff, the USC women have proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the court.

    Their historic start to the season has fans and analysts alike buzzing with excitement. The team’s impressive performance has solidified their spot as a top contender in the conference and has put them on the radar of national recognition.

    As they continue to dominate their opponents and rack up wins, the USC women are showing no signs of slowing down. With their sights set on a championship title, this team is one to watch as they continue to make waves in the world of college basketball.

  • Mikel Arteta would be making the worst mistake of the season if he starts one Arsenal star vs Girona


    Arsenal travel to Spain to take on Girona in their final league phase game of this season’s Champions League.

    The Gunners have had their problems in the Premier League, but they have been fantastic in Europe. They are third in the table going into the final game week and are almost certain to automatically qualify for the knockout stage of the competition.

    Girona were one of the surprise packages in La Liga last season. They finished third, but things have been a bit more difficult this campaign – they are currently eighth in Spain and 31st in the Champions League.

    Arsenal, however, are still expected to name a strong lineup, but one player simply must not play on Wednesday night.

    Mikel Arteta should rest Kai Havertz for Girona vs Arsenal

    Kai Havertz is one of Arsenal’s most important players.

    The Germany international has played 31 games in all competitions for Arsenal this season, and he has barely had a break recently.

    Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka’s injuries have forced him to play every minute of every game over the last few weeks, and that has not been ideal at all.

    At the end of the win against Wolves last weekend, Havertz looked shattered and fell to the ground right after the full-time whistle. Two Arsenal physios had to help him up.

    It is clear that Havertz needs a break.

    Yes, Arsenal don’t have a proper replacement for him, but pushing him to start against Girona in a game in which a point is enough to qualify would be silly.

    If Arteta risks Havertz and the German gets injured, it would make the decision the worst of the season by a country mile.

    That cannot happen. Arsenal’s season will be over on all fronts if they lose Havertz.

    READ MORE: The big Kai Havertz stat which proves he is an unfair scapegoat at Arsenal

    Arsenal have an academy star who can replace Kai Havertz vs Girona

    Jesus’ injury means Arsenal don’t have a natural centre-forward right now.

    Leandro Trossard can play there as a false nine, while Gabriel Martinelli can also slot in to replace Havertz if he is rested on Wednesday night.

    However, there is also an Arsenal Academy graduate who deserves a chance.

    Nathan Butler-Oyedeji came on as a substitute in Arsenal’s last Champions League game, and we think he should get a start against Girona.

    However, whether Arteta will consider that remains to be seen.

    Related Topics





    In an upcoming friendly match against Girona, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta would be making the worst mistake of the season if he decides to start one particular Arsenal star. This player has been underperforming consistently and has failed to impress in recent matches.

    Despite being given multiple chances to prove himself, this player has failed to deliver the level of performance expected from an Arsenal player. Starting him in a match against Girona would not only jeopardize the team’s chances of winning but also send a message that poor performances will be tolerated.

    It is crucial for Arteta to make tough decisions and prioritize the team’s success over individual interests. By benching this underperforming star and giving other players a chance to shine, Arteta can show that mediocrity will not be accepted at Arsenal.

    Ultimately, Arteta’s decision to start this player against Girona could have serious repercussions for the team’s performance and morale. It is imperative that he makes the right choice and puts the team’s success first.

  • I’ve navigated Marvel Rivals’ chaotic ranked play and dragged myself out of Plat hell, which means it’s time to start preparing to do it all over again next season


    At the beginning of every season in Marvel Rivals, each player will get a rank reset and will be demoted around seven tiers (unless they’re already floating around the bottom), meaning they’ll all just get grouped in Bronze 3. This reset has meant that the first half of Season 1 has—what I can only imagine—felt like a free-for-all fistfight inside a house that’s on fire, and every so often, one of your teammates pours gasoline everywhere—so, yeah, it’s been fun.

    After climbing up to Diamond in Season 0, I started this season off in Silver 1. I actually wasn’t aware of just how severe this rank reset was going to be, and I was unpleasantly surprised to realise I would be back fighting in Silver and Gold lobbies.



    I’ve navigated Marvel Rivals’ chaotic ranked play and dragged myself out of Plat hell, which means it’s time to start preparing to do it all over again next season.

    After countless hours of grinding, strategizing, and sometimes even raging, I’ve finally made it out of Plat hell in Marvel Rivals. The road to this point has been long and arduous, filled with tough opponents, frustrating losses, and exhilarating victories.

    But now that I’ve reached the coveted rank of Diamond, I know that the real work is just beginning. With a new season on the horizon, it’s time to start preparing for the next climb up the ladder. This means refining my deck, studying the meta, and staying on top of the latest strategies and trends in the game.

    It’s a daunting task, to be sure. But I know that with determination, perseverance, and a healthy dose of luck, I can once again rise through the ranks and prove my skills as a top Marvel Rivals player.

    So here’s to the next season, full of new challenges, new opportunities, and hopefully, a few more shiny new ranks to add to my collection. Bring it on, Marvel Rivals. I’m ready for whatever you throw at me.

  • Pelicans say Dejounte Murray ruptured his Achilles tendon and his season is over


    Dejounte Murray’s season is over, with the New Orleans Pelicans confirming Saturday that the standout guard ruptured his right Achilles tendon and now faces a lengthy rehab process.

    It’s the latest blow in an injury-dominated season for the Pelicans, who came into the year hoping a star trio of Murray, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram would be able to lead them back to the playoffs.

    Those three players were never on the court at the same time this season.

    Murray got hurt Friday night in a game against the Boston Celtics, the noncontact injury immediately prompting speculation that he tore his Achilles tendon. Murray had driven into the lane and took a shot, then went to chase after his miss. But he fell to the court and grabbed at the back of his right foot, then hobbled toward the bench.

    The Pelicans said an MRI that showed the rupture was performed Friday night. Players and coach Willie Green indicated after the 118-116 loss to the reigning champion Celtics that they already knew Murray had suffered a serious injury even before the diagnosis was announced.

    “It sucks, bro,” guard Jose Alvarado said. “That’s my dawg. At the end of the day, we’re human beings and when I saw it, I felt bad for him. I can’t really explain it. It’s something that I knew wasn’t looking good. … He loves this game and I know how much he loves it. It’s unfortunate. And when I’d seen that, I couldn’t put it into words.”

    This is the second major leg injury for the 28-year-old Murray in his NBA career. He missed the 2018-19 season when he tore his right ACL, which happened in the preseason before what would have been his third year with the San Antonio Spurs.

    The Pelicans (12-37) entered Saturday next-to-last in the Western Conference and well out of the playoff picture. And injuries are among the biggest reasons why this year has gone horribly wrong for New Orleans.

    Murray already missed 17 games earlier this season with a broken hand. Williamson has missed 36 games for a variety of reasons, the bulk of those absences because of left hamstring issues. Ingram has missed the Pelicans’ last 25 games with a sprained left ankle.

    Herb Jones — one of the league’s best defenders — has missed 29 games with a right shoulder issue. CJ McCollum missed 13 games with an adductor strain. Alvarado missed 23 games with a hamstring issue.

    Add it all up, and the season simply never had a chance to get on the track that the Pelicans hoped for. There’s also been lessons learned from off-the-court issues that overshadow anything that happens in basketball, Green said — seemingly referencing the New Year’s Eve truck attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter that killed 14 people, and the plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia this week that led to 73 more deaths.

    “This is NBA difficulty,” Green said. “What we just saw on the news, that’s real-life difficulty. And keeping that in perspective is important. We lose a game in the NBA, we get to wake up tomorrow and get back after it. When you keep life in perspective — and for me, keeping God first and staying steady through challenges — you’re able to overcome them and come out on the other end OK.”

    Murray ends his season averaging 17.5 points, 7.4 assists and 6.5 rebounds per game. He’s in the first year of a four-year, $114.2 million contract and was the highest-profile addition to New Orleans’ roster last summer, when he was traded to the Pelicans by Atlanta.

    Achilles tendon tears can require a recovery period of up to a year in some cases, and Murray’s rehab is certain to last several months at minimum. That would leave Murray’s availability for the start of next season — opening night is typically in mid-to-late October — in some doubt.

    ___

    AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba





    The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that Dejounte Murray has suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon and will miss the remainder of the season.

    Murray, who was acquired by the Pelicans in a trade earlier this season, had been a key contributor for the team, averaging 15.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game.

    This devastating injury comes at a crucial time for the Pelicans as they push for a playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference.

    Our thoughts are with Dejounte as he begins his road to recovery. We wish him a speedy and successful rehabilitation process.

  • Chargers fall to Michigan Tech 5-2 in season opener


    A young Hillsdale College men’s tennis team hung with visiting Michigan Tech on its season opener on Saturday, but couldn’t pull out a victory in a 5-2 home loss.

    Freshman Alex Cordero Lopez led the Chargers with an undefeated showing on the day against the Huskies, pulling out a hard-fought three-set victory over Michigan Tech’s Laurent Teysseire 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 at No. 3 singles, and also teaming with fellow freshman Ryan Paapzov for a well-earned 6-3 victory at No. 3 doubles as well for the Chargers.

    Sophomore Henry Hammond also showed grit for Hillsdale, rallying from a 3-6 first-set defeat at No. 5 singles against Michigan Tech’s Sarth Bansode with a 6-3 second set win to force a tiebreak, then gutting out a 10-7 victory to secure the match and the point for the Chargers.

    Although Hillsdale was competitive in other flights, sealing the deal proved difficult against the more experienced Huskies. Freshman Rintaro Goda came the closest at No. 6 singles, pushing Michigan Tech’s Ian Pinnoo to a second-set tiebreak before falling 2-6, 6-7 (3).

    Hillsdale (0-1) will learn from its opener and look to pick up a victory with two more home matches next weekend, starting with a Saturday match against Lake Superior State.

    New Orleans Pelicans star Dejounte Murray is out for the remainder of the NBA season after suffering a torn Achilles in Friday’s 118-116 loss to the Boston Celtics, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

    Murray appeared to suffer the non-contact injury while chasing an offensive rebound following his missed shot in the first quarter. He soon limped off the court and was helped back to the locker room before being ruled out for the remainder of the game.

    Following the injury, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported that the Pelicans will try to make a trade before the deadline to get under the luxury tax threshold.

    The 28-year-old Murray, an All-Star in 2022, entered Friday averaging 17.9 points, 7.6 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 steals.

    This has been a horrible year for New Orleans with multiple players impact by long-term injuries. As a team, the Pelicans entered Friday having played 48 total games. All but four players (Brandon Boston Jr., Yves Missi, Javonte Green, Jeremiah Robertson-Earl) have missed 10 or more contests.

    Understandably, the Pelicans have struggled and now sit 12-37 after their 118-116 home loss to Boston.

    New Orleans had high hopes entering this season. The Pels won 49 games and made the playoffs last year, but added Murray via trade from the Atlanta Hawks gave the team optimism for a deeper playoff run.

    Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong has in New Orleans, and now Murray has suffered a devastating injury, dealing the Pelicans another massive blow.





    The New Orleans Pelicans have been dealt a major blow as starting point guard Dejounte Murray is reportedly out for the season with a torn Achilles injury. The news comes as a devastating blow to the Pelicans, who were hoping to make a playoff push this season.

    Murray, who was acquired in a trade with the San Antonio Spurs earlier this season, had been a key contributor for the Pelicans, averaging 15.6 points, 7.2 assists, and 6.8 rebounds per game.

    The loss of Murray will be a significant setback for the Pelicans, who will now have to rely on backup point guards to fill the void left by his absence. The team will need to regroup quickly and find a way to stay competitive in the tough Western Conference.

    Fans of the Pelicans will be hoping for a speedy recovery for Murray, who was having a breakout season before suffering the injury. In the meantime, they will have to rally behind their team and show their support as they navigate through this difficult time. Stay tuned for more updates on Murray’s injury and the Pelicans’ season as it unfolds.
