SAN FRANCISCO — Steve Kerr says he isn’t bothered by Jonathan Kuminga’s recent comments regarding his role, which popped up after the third-year forward got benched in favor of Andrew Wiggins during Golden State’s loss to the Nuggets on Christmas Day.“I don’t mind those comments at all,” the Warriors head coach said Wednesday after practice. “Every guy wants to play, and JK’s a really talented guy. Every game, I have to read the game. And Wiggs was our best player, he’s playing in that position — we decided to go with Wiggs down the stretch.“Those are easy decisions for me. The game before, I think JK finished. He was playing great. It’s just going to vary from game to game for everybody. That’s just where our team is now, where JK is too.”Kuminga only played 3:35 in the fourth quarter against the Nuggets, getting usurped by Wiggins. He’d scored 13 points on 4-for-8 shooting, plus five rebounds in 23 minutes. On the year, he’s posting career-highs in points (...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:02:44 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel knows rookie Will Levis will benefit from playing in the Titans’ final two games this season if the quarterback’s sprained left ankle allows.Watching one game after starting eight games was tough enough. Levis made clear Wednesday he’s anxious to play. “I just want to go out there and win games and leave the season with a good taste in my mouth, you know?” Levis said. “We’ve had some tough losses and looking to just get the little things corrected, especially playing in a team this week who we just played two weeks ago.”The Titans (5-10) visit the Houston Texans (8-7) on Sunday, the same team that sacked Levis seven times in a 19-16 overtime loss on Dec. 17. The last sack in overtime bent Levis’ left leg, aggravating the ankle injury the rookie has been playing through since mid-November.Levis missed two practices last week and was limited Friday with his left leg heavily taped.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson makes a pitch for Kirk Cousins’ future in Minnesota

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:02:44 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With the future of the Minnesota Vikings’ offense in an uncertain position because of quarterback Kirk Cousins’ injury and pending free agency, star receiver Justin Jefferson once again made his feelings about Cousins well known on Wednesday.Cousins, who sustained a season-ending Achilles tendon tear in Week 8 at Green Bay, is nearing the end of a one-year, $35 million contract with Minnesota. Without the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, the Vikings’ offense has lacked consistency, and three QBs have started in his absence.Jefferson, who will enter the fifth season of his rookie contract next season and is due an extension, has appreciated his time with Cousins and seemingly would like Minnesota to maintain the status quo.“I feel like I’m always voicing my opinion on Kirk,” Jefferson said. “As much as people downgrade him and not want to give him his credit, I’m always the person that always gives him his credit. I’m always blessed and just accepting of the person ...

It was only City’s second win in seven league matches but lifted the defending champions above Tottenham into fourth place, five points behind leader Liverpool with a game in hand.
