Nikola Mirotic, officialdom on future arrived.
The future of Nikola Mirotic
Nikola Mirotic is no longer a Barcelona player.
In fact, the Catalan club has made official the termination of the contract with the Montenegrin winger, who has been approached in recent weeks by Olimpia Milano: “Today, FC Barcelona officially communicated to the legal representatives of Nikola Mirotic the decision to terminate the professional contract of the first team basketball player that bound him to the Club until June 30, 2025. This measure is part of the implementation of the Economic Sustainability Plan established by FC Barcelona.”
Meanwhile, Gigi Datome spoke to “La Nuova Sardegna” about the end of the season that led to the Scudetto for EA7 Emporio Armani Milano, the title of UnipolSai MVP of the Finals, and then the decision to retire after the World Championship with Italy in the Philippines: “It’s a choice that I was maturing slowly. On such important decisions, one should not get carried away by emotions. I promised myself I would decide at the end of the season, but in my heart I knew it was right to stop now or soon. I certainly wanted to do it as a top player, not as someone who had been one. And since it ended so well, I couldn’t have chosen a better ending.”
Datome then will have a role in Olimpia off the court as well: “I am happy that I was offered this very important opportunity, which allows me to be behind the team. The role is different, but I am also driven by great curiosity to learn. As a player, I don’t want to say that I had nothing left to learn, but I had seen a lot. Now, however, we are starting from scratch. The role? It will be more on the management side than the technical side.”
Closing remark on the national team: “It would be such a great and beautiful thing that I also take into account that it may not happen. But I will live this World Cup adventure with great serenity and happiness, I will fully enjoy the event, because I know it will be the last one, also the retreat that is usually the ugliest phase, and this group that has already been growing together for a couple of years. I can’t wait to get started.”
Among the players confirmed by Olimpia Milano during last summer were Paul Biligha and Gigi Datome. The latter, born in 1987, returned to Italy in the summer of 2020 to don the red and white jersey after ending a fruitful experience in Turkey, at Fenerbahce. Previously, the Montebelluna native small forward had walked the parquet floors of the NBA, wearing the colors of the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics. Mens Sana Siena, Scafati Basket and Virtus Roma were Datome’s other Italian teams.

Davis Cup, not just Jannik Sinner: Lorenzo Musetti is ready
The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up
This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.
The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.
Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

NBA, Milwaukee snaps up Giannis Antetokounmpo
Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia
So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.
Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).
Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.
As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

GP Las Vegas, Carlos Sainz has hope for constructors’ title
Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren
.
The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.
“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.
The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.
Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
