Kings lose Domantas Sabonis for another month with knee meniscus tear

Domantas Sabonis
December 2025

Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis will miss at least another month with a partial left meniscus tear, extending an absence that has coincided with the team sinking near the bottom of the Western Conference at 6-21 after 11 appearances from their All-Star center. Sabonis, who averaged 17.2 points and 12.3 rebounds before the injury, will be re-evaluated in four to five weeks as the Kings lean on rookie Maxime Raynaud. The second-rounder has seized the extra minutes, posting rising scoring and rebounding numbers over his last eight games.

December 2025

Al-Nassr have been placed under a FIFA transfer ban that prevents them registering new players from December 19, with the sanction recorded as lasting “until lifted”. Several other Saudi clubs, including Al Shabab, Damac and Al Riyadh, have also been hit with similar restrictions. The ban’s duration and precise cause have not been publicly detailed, echoing a 2023 registration suspension resolved when Al-Nassr cleared outstanding financial obligations. The new halt creates major uncertainty around mid-season squad planning in Riyadh and could force the club to prioritise internal solutions.

December 2025

Tottenham are not planning to sign a new goalkeeper in January despite Guglielmo Vicario’s shaky spell and criticism from sections of the fanbase. Costly moments against Fulham and Nottingham Forest have put the Italian under scrutiny and drawn jeers from supporters. Thomas Frank insists the club still view Vicario as a “very good” keeper and strong shot-stopper, while acknowledging areas for improvement, especially in distribution. Spurs are working with him on those weaknesses and remain committed to backing him rather than pursuing a mid-season replacement.

Expectations were huge after his record-breaking move, but his early form fell short of the hype around his arrival. Arne Slot has adjusted how Liverpool handle Wirtz, easing the pressure by shifting focus from price tag to long-term integration. The club are giving him protection, patience and a clearer role in attack, aiming to help him build rhythm and confidence through gradual progression.

Eric Lewis
December 2025

Eric Lewis has been reinstated to the NBA’s officiating program as a G League referee after completing counseling and social media training following an investigation into anonymous online activity. The veteran official retired in 2023 while the league examined potential violations of its conduct and social media policies.

He now resumes work in the G League Winter Showcase and could eventually return to NBA duty if performance benchmarks are met.

Karim Adeyemi tipped as ideal January fix for United’s AFCON exodus

Karim Adeyemi
December 2025

Manchester United have been urged to sign Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi in January to cover their right flank when Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo leave for Africa Cup of Nations duty. Dietmar Hamann claims Adeyemi’s dynamic profile is a strong fit for both the Premier League and Ruben Amorim’s game model. Hamann says Adeyemi is Dortmund’s most consistent attacking outlet and would add much needed pace and direct running to United’s front line, easing the impact of AFCON absences. He also accepts that convincing Dortmund to sell a key player in mid season will be difficult, given his importance there.
