La nariz de Lucas ha sido uno de los temas más comentados de este inicio, pero lo que parecía tener un final cercano, ahora habrá que aplazarlo seis meses. El de Andy y Lucas no podrá reconstruirse la nariz hasta el próximo octubre, según ha avanzado su esposa María José en ¡Hola! Un duro golpe del que el cantante ha de reponerse con paciencia.Esta mala noticia obliga al dúo musical a tener que reformular todos los planes que tenían para estas fechas. La nariz de Lucas no ha sanado como debía y, por eso, hay que esperar otros seis meses para someterse a la operación. A este tiempo habría que sumarle el posterior de descanso y recuperación de la zona, es decir, podría estar un año entero parado.Lucas GonzálezHay que destacar que Andy y Lucas siguen inmersos en la gira, […]
The Miami Heat (34-41) have responded to their lowest point since 2008 with their longest win streak of the season.For weeks — including Miami’s recently snapped 10-game losing streak — head coach Erik Spoelstra remained adamant that his team was close to a breakthrough. It was hard to believe when Miami couldn’t maintain big leads or close out tight games, but its payoff has been evidenced by a season-high five-game win streak by an average of 20.4 points.AdvertisementAlthough the Heat haven’t faced a gauntlet of dominant teams in this stretch, it’s helped keep their postseason hopes alive as they sit out 2 1/2 games behind the Atlanta Hawks (36-38) for the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference. By climbing to at least eighth in the East, the Heat could have at least two cracks at securing a playoff berth […]

Getty Images Lionel Messi's bodyguard, Yassine Cheuko, has been banned from protecting the Inter Miami star on the pitch during the team's matches going forward.Cheuko, who was a former Navy SEAL, had gained notoriety after videos were posted on social media showing him keeping an eye on the crowd. He was attempting to stop fans from running onto the pitch and potentially getting too close to the global superstar.Instead of Cheuko watching Messi's back on the pitch, Major League Soccer made the decision to oversee all of match day security. Now Cheuko will only be protecting Messi in the locker room and in mixed zones."They don't allow me to be on the field anymore," Cheuko told Spanish media. "I was in Europe for seven years, working for Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and only six people invaded the pitch. […]
Imagn Images The NBA announced penalties stemming from the fight between the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday with five players getting suspended for at least one game. Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart has been suspended two games, while teammates Ron Holland II and Marcus Sasser were each given one-game suspensions.On the Timberwolves side, Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo were assessed one-game suspensions as well. Stewart received a longer suspension because of his "repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts," per the league's statement. Stewart has been involved in several in-game altercations over his career, and it appears as though the NBA took those into account when handing down punishment. The play that started the dustup happened in the second quarter as Holland tried to strip the ball from Reid, who was gathering for a layup. The officials called a foul, […]
Getty Images The Dallas Cowboys are prepared to make three-time All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, according to All City DLLS. Owner Jerry Jones and Parsons have agreed to multiple key framework parameters for the deal, according to Jones himself, but it is reportedly awaiting approval from the 25-year-old's agent, David Mulugheta. The team and Mulugheta have reportedly not had any conversations since the NFL Scouting Combine. "I know that I've spent five, six hours with him myself and had a lot of discussions. Most of the issues are in agreement, and I've discussed it all," Jones said, via The Athletic, at the NFL's annual league meeting on Tuesday. "We obviously don't have an agreement relative to a new contract. Micah is under contract. So we'll see how that goes. It's not uncommon for me to visit […]
Another day, another torpedo story. Elly Da Le Cruz tried the torpedo bat for the first time Monday and unleashed this detonation: a 5-4-4-7 line, with two homers and a stolen base. A player as talented as De La Cruz doesn't need much help, but he's likely to continue the bat use for a while.According to Yahoo colleague Chris Cwik, we know of nine players who are currently using the torpedo bat. Start with the Yankees' core four — Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt, Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm. And apparently, Giancarlo Stanton's power surge last October (seven homers) was fueled by torpedo lumber.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAlso using the new equipment are De La Cruz, Jose Trevino, Adley Rutschman, Dansby Swanson and Nico Hoerner. Rutschman homered twice on Opening Day. Swanson already has a couple of homers, including one in Monday's rout of the […]
