March Madness is gradually coming to an end, and the four college programs competing for the coveted NCAA title are set. Among them are the top favorites, the Duke Blue Devils, led by the spectacular Cooper Flagg, who will be playing his final games at the collegiate level.

The NBA is already eagerly awaiting Flagg. He is projected to be the first overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, and for now, the team most likely to land the Duke star is the Washington Wizards. The capital’s team is in the best position to select the NCAA standout.

The Wizards are considering Taylor Jenkins as their new Head Coach

In a move that surprised many, Taylor Jenkins was dismissed by the Memphis Grizzlies and is now expected to be one of the most sought-after coaches this offseason. Jenkins is the leading candidate for the Washington Wizards’ head coaching job, as the franchise aims to undergo a major transformation-with Cooper Flagg at the center of its rebuild.

Before his firing, Jenkins had a 54 percent winning percentage with the Grizzlies. He is known for his intensity, strong character, and, most importantly, his ability to develop young players.

Reports suggest that current Wizards coach Brian Keefe will not continue in his role, leaving the position open for Jenkins. This has sparked excitement among Wizards fans, as they anticipate a new coach and, more importantly, the potential arrival of Cooper Flagg.

The excitement of having Jenkins in Washington

Jenkins holds an NBA coaching record of 250-215. Notably, he successfully coached Ja Morant, a rising league star who could quickly become an option for the Wizards. A potential lineup featuring Morant and Flagg would be highly intriguing, especially if the team manages to retain Khris Middleton.

For now, Cooper Flagg and the Blue Devils are preparing for their game against the Houston Cougars in the Final Four.

The review found that there has been more drag on the ball in 2025 than in any of the previous nine seasons during which MLB has tracked this data.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThose results would appear to indicate that the ball used this season is different.

Alex Bagé elege Alysson o melhor jogador do Grêmio e dispara contra dois atacantes: “Amuzu e Pavón são atrasos”

Alysson, atacante do Grêmio (LUCAS UEBEL/GREMIO FBPA) Alex Bagé analisou o confronto entre Grêmio e Corinthians na Arena, pela 12ª rodada do Brasileirão Série A. Braithwaite marcou primeiro para o Tricolor Gaúcho, mas Breno Bidon deixou tudo igual ainda no primeiro tempo nesta quinta-feira (12). O resultado manteve o tabu corintiano de 13 partidas sem perder para o Imortal. Na edição de hoje (13) do “Debate Raiz”, Alex Bagé não economizou elogios para Alysson. O jovem ponta de 19 anos foi o autor da jogada que resultou no gol do centroavante dinamarquês. “Esse menino, toda vez que ele toca na bola, ele mostra cara. Tem que dar mais oportunidade.

Caitlin Clark to make her return to Fever lineup vs. Liberty after missing five games with quad strain

Getty Images Caitlin Clark will make her return to the court this Saturday, when the Indiana Fever host the New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the team announced Friday. Clark was initially expected to miss four games after suffering a quad strain during the 90-88 loss to the Liberty on May 24, but instead missed five contests. She said rushing back wouldn't be "worth it," but now feels good enough to return to the lineup. Clark was averaging 19 points, 6 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game before the quad strain injury. She actually hadn't missed a game since high school, and her inactive status on May 28 vs. the Washington Mystics snapped a streak of 185 consecutive games played. With Caitlin Clark and Tyrese Haliburton leading Fever and Pacers, Indy has become center of basketball world Jack Maloney The 4-5 Fever are 2-3 […]
