Philippines basketball federation president Alfredo Panlilio and Ned Coten, president of Basketball Australia, said in the statement Thursday that the “actions displayed have no place on any basketball court.” “We wish to apologize to the entire basketball community worldwide, and in particular to our fantastic fans in the Philippines and Australia, for the behavior displayed by both teams and for bringing the game of basketball into disrepute.” World body FIBA has yet to announce any sanctions for the brawl that saw nine Philippines players ejected and four from Australia....

Three games. Three losses. And only one point for a team fighting for its playoff life. Monday night’s 2-1 defeat might have been one of the low points all season for Montreal. With the Canadiens needing a win to improve their hold on the top wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, last-place New Jersey beat them with a lineup that included seven players who spent the majority of the season with the Devils’ top minor league affiliate....

Some of these are original to the Arkham-verse, while the others are directly from comics and movies. While most of these Easter eggs and references are merely visual, there are times when comic storylines are directly mentioned in the game. Let’s check them out....

Batman’s first video game outing was 1986’s Batman, an isometric, oddly colorful adventure game that boiled the Caped Crusader down to a few pixels. Since then, there have been over 25 games that have featured the Dark Knight as the titular hero, and although there have been some truly influential titles, there’s also been a fair amount of disappointments along the way.

Yet, not many thought he would be in such a hurry to get a world leader, many in Indian sports officialdom thought he was gunning for the mantle of Indian Olympic Association (IOA). Imagine, barely three years ago he was fighting a legal battle with the erstwhile Indian Hockey Federation, headed by Kanwar Pal Singh Gill, in the Supreme Court. He revolted against him resenting his mismanagement. Hearing the case, a two-judge bench comprising Justice Tirath Singh Thakur (now the Chief Justice of India) and Justice Jasti Chelameswar came down heavily on politicians and businessmen heading sports bodies, saying they are causing great harm to the sport....

Speaking to Official Xbox Magazine, Morell talked of a new melee system that the team are implementing for Battlefield 1’s multiplayer. While he didn’t go into specific details, Morell stated that since World War 1 battles were primarily fought on the ground before the era of machine guns, hand-to-hand combat back then was “almost medieval,” and the development team is aiming to bring this “brutal and personal” combat aspect to Battlefield 1....

Considering the change in time frame to World War I where weapons and technology were not as advanced as they are now, DICE is placing a greater emphasis on melee combat using such tools as the bayonet, spiked club, and even the simple shovel. As DICE revealed last week, three new melee classes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, will be available once Battlefield 1 launches later in October....

Further details on Battlefield 1’s server browser haven’t been shared just yet, but we imagine it will function similarly to how server browsers have in previous games in the franchise. It also seems likely that the server browser will be available for Battlefield 1 across all platforms, but there is a possibility that it will be a PC-exclusive feature. However, since DICE didn’t outright state that Battlefield 1’s server browser is exclusive to PC, console gamers should also be able to look forward to the feature....

When attempting to use the underbarrel grenade launcher in Battlefield 2042, players have to simply press ‘down’ on the d-pad on console or ‘X’ on PC. If the weapon being used has the underbarrel attachment, gamers can begin instantly using the grenade launcher. When the attachment is used, however, players are not able to aim down the sights of their guns. RELATED: Battlefield 2042: 10 Best Weapons In Portal’s Battlefield 3 Mode...

In case you didn’t know… Umtiti has been linked with leaving Barcelona this summer, owing to the potential arrival of Ajax star Matthijs de Ligt. The French World Cup winner, who struggled with injuries last season, lost his place in the squad, with Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet becoming Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde’s preferred centre-back pairing. Umtiti made just 14 La Liga appearances in the 2018-19 season, winning 62.5 per cent tackles on an average and having an impressive passing accuracy of 95 per cent....

Ronald Koeman’s men face Sevilla again in midweek for the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tie. Barcelona need to overturn a 2-0 deficit to advance to the final of the competition. The Blaugrana have won the Copa Del Rey a record 23 times, but last won the competition in 2018; they lost to Valencia in the title match the next year. On that note, let’s have a look at the latest Barcelona news as on 28th February, 2021...

The Catalan giants, who host Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, fell two points further adrift of Real Madrid last weekend after a 1-1 draw at Real Betis. Barca are four points behind Real Madrid, just past the halfway mark of the season, and the league leaders also have a game in hand. “We’ve lacked consistency in the league in order to be higher up in the standings,” Luis Enrique said at Friday’s news conference....

Aguero moved to Camp Nou on a free transfer in the summer following his departure from Manchester City, having spent the previous 10 years of his career at Etihad Stadium. A calf injury saw the 33-year-old miss the start of the season at Barca, and he only ended up making five appearances for the club before a serious health scare ruled him out of action indefinitely, ultimately forcing him to call time on his career....

The 16-year-old marked his first Barca start with a goal and an assist inside seven minutes at Camp Nou on Saturday, adding to his maiden strike against Osasuna before the international break. It made Fati the youngest player to score and assist in a single LaLiga game in the 21st century. He was replaced by Luis Suarez in the 60th minute and the Uruguay international scored twice, with Frenkie de Jong and Gerard Pique also on target for Ernesto Valverde’s side....

Ernesto Valverde’s side had moved provisionally 12 points clear of second-placed Atletico by beating Leganes 3-1 at Camp Nou on Saturday and the squad will have been watching their two closest rivals with interest on Sunday. A win for Real would have ended Atleti’s slim hopes of claiming the title and that looked likely as Cristiano Ronaldo finally broke the deadlock with a fine finish after 53 minutes, slotting home an excellent Gareth Bale cross from the left....

Despite having Lionel Messi pulling the strings upfront, the Blaugrana’s poor defense has repeatedly proved to be an obstacle. They went very close to winning the Liga title but a 2-1 defeat to Granada in April ended their title challenge. The Catalans were also knocked out of the Champions League in embarrassing fashion with a 5-1 loss to Paris Saint Germain on aggregate. Barcelona have been let down by their defense several times in the last few years, especially in crucial matches....

In case you didn’t know… Rashford has racked up 9 goals and 7 assists for Manchester United and remains one of the key players in Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s squad. The 21-year-old England forward has proven his calibre and has played a huge part in keeping United alive and in contention for a Champions League spot this season. Rashford was the one who smashed home the penalty and took United into the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League....
