According to a report from the <a href="https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/pro/browns/2021/11/28/jack-conklin-knee-injury-cleveland-browns-baltimore-ravens/8769798002/" rel="noopener">Akron Beacon Journal</a>, the Browns fear he suffered a torn patellar tendon.</p><p>Following the contest, head coach Kevin Stefanski didn’t raise hopes about the condition of his All-Pro right tackle, noting that it could be a “serious” knee issue.

Despite trailing for much of the day, the offense never seemed to press. They stuck to their game plan, and eventually wore down the Colts.</p><p>The Bucs victory improved their record to 8-3 on the season. They are three games ahead of both the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South. It’s obvious to say they are probably going to win the division. But they have their eyes on a bigger prize, the overall #1 seed in the NFC and the first round bye that comes with it.</p><p>Here are the three key takeaways from the Week 12 comeback win over the Colts.</p><p>*<i><b>Watch NFL games LIVE with <a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener">fuboTV (click for free trial)</a>*</b></i></p><h2>Tampa Bay Buccaneers Takeaways from Week 12 Win</h2><p><b>3. Tampa Bay had the best running back on the field Sunday</b></p><p>Entering Week 12, Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was in the midst of a historic stretch. He became only the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/colts-news-jonathan-taylor-breaks-insane-franchise-record-vs-bills/" rel="noopener">3rd player in NFL history to record over 100 yards from scrimmage</a> and a rushing touchdown in eight straight games. The Colts had one of the league’s best offensive lines, helping open holes for Taylor. But that all went for naught on Sunday.</p><p>The Buccaneers rush defense has been just as dominant again in 2021. They led the NFL in rush defense in each of the past two seasons, and entered Sunday leading the league once again. On Sunday, they showed why. Taylor was held to 83 yards rushing on 16 carries to go with four catches for only 14 yards. The streak ended Sunday.</p><p>Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians had a very simple, but specific thought on that.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bruce Arians: “Nobody runs the ball on us. I don’t care who the hell you are. I’ll take our run defense over anyone else’s run offense any day.”</p><p>— Carmen Vitali (@CarmieV) <a href="https://twitter.com/CarmieV/status/1465071413895835657?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 28, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>It appears he might have been correct.</p><p>On the other side, the Colts also featured one of the league’s best rush defenses. But Leonard Fournette was not going to be stopped. He consistently ran for chunk gains, finishing with 100 yards rushing and three scores on the ground. That includes the game winning touchdown late in the 4th quarter.</p><p>With under 30 seconds left in the game, tied at 31. Fournette did this:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">leonard FOURnette.</p><p>📺: <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TBvsIND?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#TBvsIND</a> on FOX<br>📱: NFL app <a href="https://t.co/tkAMKUS3dn" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/tkAMKUS3dn</a></p><p>— NFL (@NFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1465066925654884353?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 28, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>He also reeled in seven catches for another 31 yards and a receiving touchdown. He was thought to be past his prime when Jacksonville let him go. All the mileage he piled up at LSU and with the Jaguars do not seem to have slowed him down one bit when he has a passing game to go with him.</p><p><b>2. Rob Gronkowski turned back the clock</b></p><p>Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had been out since Week 3 when he sustained broken ribs and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/buccaneers-news-tampa-bay-te-rob-gronkowski-gets-concerning-update-on-rib-injury/" rel="noopener">punctured lung in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams. </a></p><p>He returned last week in a home win vs the New York Giants and posted a solid performance, with six catches for 71 yards.</p><p>Prior to his return, without that connection, Bucs quarterback Tom Brady played inconsistently. He clearly missed his safety valve. But on Sunday, Gronkowski looked like a lot more than a safety valve. He made a number of big catches down the field, dragging defenders on his back time and again. It looked eerily similar to his days playing with Brady in New England.</p><p>Following the game, Gronk even tweeted out “I’m Vintage Now.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ooo I’m vintage now <a href="https://t.co/Xxglg5Sxzn" target="_blank">https://t.co/Xxglg5Sxzn</a></p><p>— Rob Gronkowski (@RobGronkowski) <a href="https://twitter.com/RobGronkowski/status/1465082041209344004?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 28, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>He finished the game with seven catches for a team-high 123 yards receiving. Fournette was 2nd on the team in receiving yards with only 31. As he continues to round into shape, defenses around the league shudder to think of how they can stop this offense if Gronk is also going to eat.</p><p><b>1. The #1 seed in the NFC is within reach</b></p><p>On paper, it looks like the Buccaneers would have a hard time earning the overall top seed in the NFC. After all, they are a game behind Arizona, a half game behind Green Bay, and have lost more conference games than both of them currently.</p><p>The Bucs are 5-3 in the NFC, whereas both the Cardinals and Packers only have two conference losses. But if you take a look at the remaining schedule, it heavily favors the Buccaneers.</p><p>Of the six remaining games for the current top-seeded Cardinals, they play three dangerous teams in the Rams, Colts and Cowboys.</p><p>Green Bay’s schedule is not as daunting, only having two relatively tough games remaining playing at Baltimore vs the Vikings Minnesota. But remember, they are tied with the Bucs in the loss column. So if Tampa Bay wins out, they would also have to win out to earn the top spot.</p><p>The Buccaneers play only one team with a winning record, the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have not looked very good lately either. The rest of the schedule consists of the Falcons, Saints, Panthers twice and the New York Jets.</p><p>It is not inconceivable that Tampa Bay runs the table. If they do, it is a very strong possibility the road to the Super Bowl will have to go through the Buccaneers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Well, it looks like the NBA will have to issue another statement after what happened in the contest between the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies.</p><p>A Grizzlies fan got booted out of the game on Sunday night after allegedly making below-the-belt comments toward Kings center Tristan Thompson. Kings coach Alvin Gentry urged the referees to throw out the unruly fan, similar to what Lakers star LeBron James did to the two Pacers supporters.</p><p>While Gentry acknowledged that NBA fans can jeer opposing players, he reminded that there are certain lines that shouldn’t be crossed, also echoing LeBron’s recent remarks (via <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401360127">ESPN</a>).</p><blockquote>“I think you pay for a ticket, you’ve got a right to boo guys. You’ve got a right to cheer for your team. But inappropriate things should never be what anyone should say or have an opportunity to say in an NBA game without being removed.”</blockquote><p>Gentry didn’t go into specifics about the things said to Thompson, but according to reports, they had something to do with his relationship with celebrity Kourtney Kardashian and their family (via <a href="https://www.sacbee.com/sports/nba/sacramento-kings/article256186652.html">Sacramento Bee</a>).</p><blockquote>“It’s not anything I’m going to tolerate people saying to my player, I know that, not without intervening and asking that (the fan) be removed. They can say anything they want to me or they can boo and do everything they want with the players, but there’s no room for saying inappropriate things in a sporting event. That’s not why you’re there.”</blockquote><p>The Kings lost to the Grizzlies, 128-101.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For one, <a href="https://theathletic.com/2983329/2021/11/28/john-wall-wants-to-return-to-play-and-start-the-rockets-want-him-to-come-off-the-bench-what-are-their-options/" rel="noopener">Shams Charania of The Athletic</a> claimed that the veteran point guard demanded to “have a starting role and compete to maintain it.”</p><p>Meanwhile, per <a href="https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1465125046012325891" rel="noopener">NBA insider Jordan Schultz</a>, Wall “sees himself as the No. 1 option on the Rockets” should he return.</p><p>Upon seeing Schultz’s report, though, Wall straight up denied the rumor and called it a “lie.”</p><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/unknown.png"></figure><p>It remains to be seen if the Rockets will play John Wall again. Besides, there could be some benefit to it since teams could see if he’s healthy enough to play and compete at a high level. His monstrosity of a contract makes it difficult to trade him, so the only way Houston can convince others he’s worth the risk is if he’s health and able to contribute to winning.</p><p>The Rockets are 3-16 in what is largely expected as a rebuilding season for them, so it’s not a surprise they want to focus on giving more playing time to their young players like Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. in the back court.</p><p>However, if Wall is not demanding to start or be the No. 1 option, then they could certainly find ways to let him play.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Patriots can win without a power running game</b></p><p>Entering Sunday, it was thought that the Patriots can only win one way. They will run the ball, play good defense and not ask Mac Jones to do too much. Well, so much for that. The rest of the NFL should take notice too.</p><p>Not only did the Patriots not run the ball well, they also got torched on the ground themselves. Tennessee, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/titans-news-derrick-henry-potentially-suffered-season-ending-foot-injury-in-win-over-colts/" rel="noopener">without Derrick Henry who is out with a foot injury for possibly the rest of the season</a>, ran for 270 yards.

They combined to rush for 86 yards on 20 carries. The Titans did a very good job limiting their production. It didn’t matter.</p><p>Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has his defense looking similar to years past. They might bend, but they won’t break. Despite the yardage allowed on the ground, New England once again only allowed 13 points.</p><p><b>2. The Patriots rookie QB Mac Jones might be the Offensive Rookie of the Year</b></p><p>The Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones showed that he can do more than just manage a game. He made a number of good throws downfield, and finished with a career high 310 yards passing without an interception. <a href="https://twitter.com/Patriots/status/1465034246331023370">Once again, he looked poised and accurate with the football.</a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/MacJones_10?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@MacJones_10</a> dropping dimes to <a href="https://twitter.com/jkbmyrs5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@jkbmyrs5</a>!</p><p>📺: <a href="https://twitter.com/NFLonCBS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@NFLonCBS</a> / Patriots app <a href="https://t.co/w4bmi7ijc7" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/w4bmi7ijc7</a></p><p>— New England Patriots (@Patriots) <a href="https://twitter.com/Patriots/status/1465034246331023370?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 28, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Jones also performed well when the Titans brought extra rushers, something he has done all season. Jones’ PPF grade vs the blitz this season is 90. No other rookie QB is higher than 69.</p><p>Following the win, Mac Jones became only the 3rd rookie in NFL history to win six straight starts. The previous two, Dak Prescott (2016) and Robert Griffin III (2012) won Offensive Rookie of the Year.</p><p><b>1. This season is beginning to look a lot like 2001 for New England</b></p><p>The New England Patriots are 8-4, sitting atop the AFC East and have looked like one of the most impressive teams in football over the last month and a half. The season was not supposed to play out like this.</p><p>New England posted their first season with a losing record in 2020. That happened to be the first season without Tom Brady at the helm, leaving many to wonder how much Belichick truly contributed to the team’s six Super Bowl championships.</p><p>Well, here we are, a season later, and Belichick has the team improving as the season goes along, once again. Rookie quarterback Mac Jones is playing far better than anyone expected and is the aforementioned favorite for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award now.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mac Jones takes on the Titans at 1 ET.</p><p>With a win, Jones would be the 3rd rookie QB over the last 15 seasons to win 6 straight starts; each of previous 2 won Offensive Rookie of the Year (2016 Dak Prescott, 2012 Robert Griffin III). <a href="https://t.co/fYHwZ8ZNc5" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/fYHwZ8ZNc5</a></p><p>— ESPN Stats &amp; Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1464957261240061954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 28, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>The defense is dominant. The Patriots have allowed a total of 26 points in the last four weeks. Overall, they have a +146 point differential, the best in the NFL. This was not supposed to happen. Not this quickly.</p><p>It is beginning to look very reminiscent of the 2001 New England Patriots. That team had a very young quarterback, Tom Brady, in his 2nd year but his first year starting. They ran a power run scheme offensively, with Antowain Smith leading the backfield. They had a very good defense, led by defensive end Richard Seymour up front, Tedy Bruschi in the linebacking core, and Ty Law anchoring the back end.</p><p>20 years later, they are looking like a similar type team. The Patriots have a young quarterback poised beyond his years in Mac Jones. They have a two-headed monster power running game with Harris and Stevenson. Their defense has one of the league’s best linebacker groups in Matthew Judon, Dont’a Hightower and Kyle Van Noy.</p><p>Their secondary has improved dramatically as the season has progressed. Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw for a season low 93 yards Sunday.</p><p>The question that remains for this team is whether or not this was all a mirage based on schedule, or if they are really that good. During their six game winning streak, the Patriots have defeated the Jets, Chargers, Panthers, Browns, Falcons and Titans.</p><p>The next three weeks will be telling as New England will play Buffalo twice, sandwiched around a game against the Indianapolis Colts.</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That being Joel Embiid had a near picture-perfect return to action.</p><p>The All-Star center played in his first game after being sidelined for three weeks due to COVID-19. For someone who battled mild symptoms and missed a handful of games, Embiid did not miss a beat against the Timberwolves. It did not take long for the big man to settle in and look like the dominant player we are accustomed to seeing.</p><p>In 45 minutes of action, Embiid tallied 42 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two blocks. A more than impressive showing given the circumstances. After the game, Sixers players and coaches opened on his performance and what it was like to have him back on the court.</p><p>First up was Sixers coach Doc Rivers, who praised his starting center for the work he put in behind the scenes to be able to hit the ground running in his return like he did.</p><p>“Listen, we lost, and Joel (Embiid) was phenomenal tonight. But we still lost the game. Joel would take 30 and win if you know what I’m saying. He was great, played a ton of minutes, something you just don’t know from COVID. Give him credit. Clearly, he’s been working out, and he showed us that,” said Rivers.</p><p>Tobias Harris spoke later and echoed some of the points made by Rivers while expressing his thoughts on having his All-Star teammate back on the floor.</p><p>“That’s a tough one, coming back from being out for that long of a period of time. He did his thing, he was carrying us all throughout. Just getting to his spots and getting his shot. His conditioning looked good as well. It was good to have him back with the team, and you just saw his presence and what was missing for sure,” Harris said.</p><p>A lot can be said about Embiid’s performance, but the point about conditioning is what stands out the most. It is a testament to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/joel-embiid/bafc0a09/stats">work he has put in</a> to take better care of his body and be in peak physical condition for the Sixers.</p><p>Early in his career, many criticized Embiid for his lack of conditioning. Also, he was labeled a player who had to play themselves back into shape after missing time. While some of that might be true, it is not the case now. The fact that Embiid was able to play 45 minutes in his first game back after missing significant time speaks volumes of how serious he takes conditioning behind the scenes.</p><p>From the Sixers’ perspective, they should be more than pleased with the level Embiid played at on Saturday. The franchise cornerstone is relied on now more than ever to lead this team on and off the court, and he looks ready to get the season back on track.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In Crystal Dynamics’ game, new heroes are added as DLC content, giving players new ways to play and gameplay to explore. Here’s everything you need to know about <i>MARVEL’s Avengers </i>Spider-Man DLC content.</p><h2><b>Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man as new <i>MARVEL’s Avengers </i>DLC</b></h2><p>Spider-Man joins <i>MARVEL’s Avengers </i>roster <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/spider-man-marvels-avengers-release-date/">on <b>November 30, 2021</b></a>. This makes him the tenth playable character in the game, and the fourth DLC character to be released since launch. Spider-Man was promised to PlayStation owners when the game was first announced, way back in E3 2019. Back then, Crystal Dynamics promised Spider-Man as an exclusive character coming for PlayStation owners. It used to feel like a fantastic incentive to purchase the game on a PlayStation console, but today, it doesn’t feel like that at all. Instead, players who are playing the game on anything but the PlayStation feel like they are missing out.</p><p>Given the game’s relationship with its community – that of frustration and disappointment – it’s understandable how what used to be seen as a cool exclusive bonus is now seen as a missed opportunity to make amends with the community. Still, SQUARE ENIX and Crystal Dynamics are not making any moves to reverse this situation. Perhaps in the future, they can still make Spider-Man available to other players, even as a purchasable DLC, rather than completely locking him out of non-PlayStation players.</p><h2><b>What’s in the <i>MARVEL’s Avengers </i>Spider-Man DLC?</b></h2><p>The <i>MARVEL’s Avengers </i>Spider-Man DLC will contain the Spider-Man character, free-of-charge for PlayStation players. Various media previews, <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/marvels-avengers-spiderman-hands-on-preview">like the ones from <i>IGN</i>‘s</a>, already give us a good impression of how Spider-Man will play like. Of course, Spider-Man will be using his web-slinging superpowers to take down their foes. His web shooters can web down enemies and let other members of the party take them down. Thus, Spider-Man plays more like a support character, rather than a damage dealer.</p><p>One (among a few) disappointments on Spider-Man’s design, however, is his maneuverability. He moves clunkily, just like how the rest of the cast of characters are. His web-slinging to go from one place to another is not as good as the one made by Insomniac for the <i>Spider-Man </i>games, but it still works for the purpose it needs to serve.</p><h2><b>With Great Power Event</b></h2><p>The biggest disappointment in <i>MARVEL’s Avengers </i>Spider-Man DLC is the lack of a new campaign for Peter Parker. Instead, there will just be a “With Great Power” event, an unfolding story that is told through unlockable challenges within the Avengers Initiative mode. According to Crystal Dynamics’ <a href="https://avengers.square-enix-games.com/en-us/news/wtw-week-62/?utm_source=twitter_playavengers&amp;utm_campaign=wtw_62_2.2_announce_photo_SQEXSOCIAL">blog post</a>:</p><blockquote>“You’ll experience Spider-Man’s story through unlockable challenges woven throughout the Avengers Initiative. Here’s a quick taste of his journey in <i>Marvel’s Avengers</i>! Peter Parker uncovers AIM’s new plan to acquire technology that could make their Synthoid army unstoppable and total domination inevitable. He must partner with the Avengers to stop this looming threat, and forms a tentative friendship with Ms. Marvel and Black Widow while keeping his identity hidden. As a Hero accustomed to working solo, he struggles with the new dynamics of working with a team. Will he join up full time with the Avengers, or stay independent in his fight against AIM?”</blockquote><p>It may be disappointing that the <i>MARVEL’s Avengers </i>Spider-Man DLC will not have its entirely new campaign. We guess we’ll just have to wait for Insomniac’s <i>Spider-Man 2</i> instead <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/spider-man-2-release-date/">if we want a new story</a>.</p><h2><b>How to get Spider-Man in <i>MARVEL’s Avengers</i></b></h2><p>Spider-Man DLC is an exclusive for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players. On November 30, players will be able to download the DLC for free. You can download the DLC from the play store, or initiate the download from within the game itself. Either way, you’ll need to access the game through a PlayStation console to be able to play as Spider-Man.</p><p>We do hope that the Spider-Man DLC will eventually make its way to Xbox Series X and Xbox One and PC players. But for now, it’s sadly just exclusively available for PlayStation players. Perhaps the DLC can be released eventually as paid DLC content? That way, PlayStation players still got a better deal as they got Spidey for free, while others got him late and for a fee. But the worst thing that SQUARE ENIX and Crystal Dynamics can do here is to develop future DLCs specifically for Microsoft players.

Scottie Barnes-Pascal Siakam connection</h2><p>Might as well start with something fun: A game after Siakam was asked about what it was like playing with Barnes—to which he replied that Barnes is “definitely an easy guy to play with”—the two of them flashed signs of a burgeoning chemistry against the Celtics. </p><p>The first instance came as a transition opportunity. Barnes caught a rebound and, his innate vision kicking in, immediately flung an outlet pass to a streaking Siakam, who flew down the floor in a whirlwind before ramming home a monster slam.</p><p>Later, an equally enjoyable but perhaps more interesting play happened in the half court. Barnes was at the arc, the ball in his hands, while Siakam received some off-ball screening action to break free from the defense. He then tore into an open lane and Barnes fired a bullet to him at once, leading Siakam into an easy layup.</p><p>That sort of two-man play is the kind that the Raptors should look to utilize more often: Barnes at the high post, threading the needle for Siakam, who’s then able to catch and attack a defense in motion. Such plays put an active emphasis on a talent Barnes already has and give him an increased number of developmental reps, all while making life significantly easier for Siakam as an attacker. </p><p>Right now, the moments in which Barnes winds up creating for others are largely not scripted. They occur after initial actions have failed, or within the chaos of broken plays, and are successful purely due to Barnes’ natural talent.</p><p>As the Barnes-Siakam pairing continues to grow, an intentional focus on leveraging the two-man actions frequently should become more and more common for the Raptors.</p><h2>1. Free throw disparity</h2><p>At first blush, the disparity seems ridiculous. The Celtics <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401360126">went to the free throw line 31 times</a>, hitting 29 of their attempts, while the Raptors got there just 16 times and nailed 14 of their shots.</p><p>“I think for the most part we did an okay job (on defense),” Nurse said. “Again, not very fortunate. We did have a few in a row there that were early holding calls. Those are the ones, especially when you’re in the bonus, you’ve gotta stay away from.”</p><p>Certainly, there were some non-calls that could’ve perhaps gone their way on the other end, and they will feel like they got the short straw more often than not, but the fact remains that without some of the roster’s premier shooters in OG Anunoby and Gary Trent Jr., the Raptors just didn’t have enough of a perimeter threat to force the Celtics to unclog the paint.</p><p>While Barnes, for example, was able to take advantage of that to some degree, the Raptors were largely left to try driving continuously into a horde of green jerseys, coming up against a set wall and rarely getting the benefit of the doubt. </p><p>In fact, without Fred VanVleet on the floor, the Raptors were hardly able to score in the half court at all. </p><p>So, no, it wasn’t that the officials had it out for the Raptors. It was that the offensive firepower was lacking, and allowed the Celtics to hold fast in the interior and prevent a ton of fouls, which typically come after defenses have been coerced into movement.</p><p>Of course, it is also true that the disparity had a massive impact on the Raptors eventually succumbing to a loss. Such a difference is incredibly difficult to overcome, no matter how it happens. </p><p>“Unless you have $25,000 to spare,” VanVleet said, “I’m gonna stay away from officiating comments other than to say it was a tough night for us on that end of the whistle.”</p><p>For now, all the Raptors can do is hope that better collective health is on the horizon. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the star wideout himself played down the issue.</p><p>Speaking to reporters after the 49ers’ 34-26 win over the Vikings, Samuel said he is “not too concerned” about his groin injury. While he admitted there were some fears after he exited to the sidelines, he is not making a big deal out of it. The veteran wideout also shared he made the decision to sit out the rest of the game against Minnesota after being initially listed as questionable following the injury.</p><blockquote>“My groin got kind of tight as soon as I went to make a move and I thought ‘let’s not make anything any worse’ and just went down,” Samuel said, per <a href="https://twitter.com/NinersNation/status/1465129208644964352" rel="noopener">Niners Nation</a>.</blockquote><p>For what it’s worth, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/49ers-news-kyle-shanahan-speaks-out-on-deebo-samuel-concerning-injury-vs-vikings/" rel="noopener">echoed the same sentiment</a>. He noted that some people might be overreacting on the issue, adding that he doesn’t see it as a significant injury. Deebo Samuel is slated to get an MRI to officially determine the extent of the injury, but Shanahan and Co. are hoping it’s merely a “low strain.”</p><blockquote>“I don’t think it’s as bad as you worry. We’re hoping it was a low strain,” Shanahan added.</blockquote><p>More updates are expected to come out on Samuel’s status. But by the looks of it, the 49ers seem confident their star receiver avoided any issue that would keep him out for long.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Across 58 games in pinstripes, Gallo slashed .160/.303/.404 with 13 home runs and 22 RBI. He struck out 88 times in 228 plate appearances, resulting in his league-leading 215 punchouts on the season.</p><p>While the power was still there for Gallo, his inability to get on base made him a liability for the Yankees, outside of a few key swings. There were lofty expectations for the 28-year-old upon his acquisition by <a href="http://foco.vegb.net/yR4O93" rel="noopener">New York</a>, but he ultimately failed to live up to them.</p><p>Gallo is due to enter his final year of arbitration in 2022, and Spotrac estimates the slugger will earn around $9.5 million this season.

But, you know, I think we can continue to just learn from teams like Golden State with their player movement. They’re just so good with that, regardless of how quick Steph can get off and get hot.</p><p>“What is most impressive about their team is just how well they play together and their player movement, and, you know, they make it hard to load up on a guy like Steph because everybody is just in motion and, you know, you kind of got to guard everyone, even if it’s a player that we deem as a player that we can help off of. It’s just so much continuity with their group, chemistry, that it just makes it a tough cover.”</p><p>Stephen Curry was relatively quiet until he was hit with a technical foul for screaming at an official for what he thought should’ve been a foul. From that point on, Curry had 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting.</p><p>“I thought I got fouled so I let my emotion go and it definitely fired me up, fired the team up,” <a href="https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1465110134728769537" rel="noopener">Curry said</a> after the game. “You have to be able to direct that energy into just putting the ball in the basket, obviously.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“I thought I got fouled so I let my emotion go and it definitely fired me up, fired the team up.
