Author Thompson makes NBA history with defense

The 2023 draft is one of the most interesting generations in recent years. There is no doubt that it will be led by Victor Wembaneyama, but there are many other names, one of whom is Author Thompson. Amen’s twin brother came to the Pistons with the No. 5 pick, but in his first NBA game, he showed that the Detroit team was right in selecting him.

Monty Williams gave him the difficult task of guarding Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro, and the rookie didn’t disappoint, making NBA history with five blocks at age 20.


This makes Author Thompson the youngest player in NBA history to record five or more blocks in his career debut at 20 years and 269 days old. The previous holder was Shawn Bradley, who held it at the age of 21 with the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1993-94 season. In addition to the plug, Thompson had four points, seven rebounds and three assists.

The night didn’t go well for the young players and the Pistons, but the victory ended up being 103-102 for the Miami Heat.

Euroleague match may be postponed due to unusual reason

The Euroleague match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Paris, which was planned to be played on Friday, January 9 at 20:00, will be postponed again.

The Reds had previously made an official request to the Euroleague management regarding this issue, and it is expected to be announced in the coming days.

The match will probably not be played on Friday evening and will be played around the February break for the national teams.

Hapoel management is unhappy with the behavior of the French club and its owner David Kahn. They claim that Paris refused to fly a connecting flight to Israel.

According to Euroleague rules, in double-header weeks, each team must reach the match arena by direct flight or travel no more than one and a half hours. However, the French refuse to attend the match on the grounds that it is against the regulations, as they will be playing in Türkiye, where there has been no direct flight to Israel since October 7.

Hapoel Tel Aviv also said that Paris refused to fly via Cyprus, which would ultimately lead to the postponement of the game.

In the statement made by the club, “Paris owner David Kahn insists on a direct flight to Israel, which is not possible from Türkiye. He is doing everything possible to avoid coming to Israel.”

Previously, there was news that there was a flu epidemic in one of Europe’s leading clubs.
