The Aris basketball team retires the #19 in memory of Alkis

The Aris basketball team took a big step, announcing that they would withdraw the number 19 jersey in memory of 19-year-old Alkis, who was murdered a few days ago.

The murder of 19-year-old Alkis has left its mark on Greek society. Aris, the team that supported Alkis, therefore decided to honor his memory in another way to forever remind the world of his name: he will retire the number 19 jersey.

The announcement in detail:

“KAE ARIS announces it is retiring number 19 as a minimum tribute to undefeated Alkis Kampanos.

The days go by, but the mind still doesn’t fit that Alkis is no longer with us and pays for his love for ARIS in the most brutal and inhuman way. Apart from the rest of the actions, KAE ARIS feels it is its duty never again to wear the number 19 jersey as the team’s basketball player, which refers to the age at which Alkis passed away.

Lakers player independently fixes dislocated finger during Dallas game

Los Angeles Lakers player Marcus Smart He described how he removed his finger during an intervention attempt and then reattached it:

“My finger popped out again, so I had to put it back in. I put it right back in. It was the same finger that had been operated on before, so it was a little scary, but it would still be fine.”

I sprained my operated finger and thought, “I don’t want to quit playing.” I quickly tried to set it up and if it hadn’t worked I would have left the site long ago. But I managed to get back into the game.

It’s part of basketball, it’s part of me. I’m a tough player, things happen and I want to help the team in any way possible, whether it’s with ten fingers or nine fingers,” Smart said.

While Los Angeles Lakers defeated Dallas Mavericks with a score of 116:110, Smart played 32 minutes and played with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks during this time.

Previously, Luka Doncic shared his feelings about returning to Dallas.

It will always be a special place for me. I’ve spent seven years here and a lot of things have happened, both good and bad. When I went to Madrid at the age of 13, I felt good every time I returned to Slovenia. That’s why it will always be a special place for me.

Fan support? It was really special. I didn’t know what to expect because I know how the city responds to such cold weather, but I’m really grateful to a lot of people for coming.
