Stephen Curry is now set to receive his 11th signature sneaker, The Under Armour Curry 11 has been recently revealed. Curry was seen practicing in the Curry 11 during a shoot around basketball session.
What looks to be a new Cushioning setup in the midsole still does feature flow technology on the outsole. The upper does seem to still feature Warp 2.0 technology although not confirmed yet. There seems to be extra TPU support on the lateral sides of the shoe to limit the movement of the foot from slipping. Also worth noting the pull tab features “Curry XI” branding in reference to the Curry 11.
There is no official release date yet but expect the Under Armour Curry 11 to release during the summer or before the start of the 2023-24 NBA Season.
The Minnesota Lynx came into this game wanting to get back into the win column at home vs New York. The Lynx would have a great chance at that knowing they had Napheesa Collier back in the lineup.
The Lynx were able to set the tone in this one early as Napheesa Collier was back on the floor like nothing happened. Collier was hitting her mid range jumper and was able to get to the rim whenever she needed. One thing that really helped the Lynx very early in this game was the ball movement. When the Lynx get the ball in their passing lanes and back cuts it makes everything easier. Lindsay Allen was one of those players that was able to make a huge impact passing as she finished with 10 assists. Allen knows where Collier/Miller/McBride want the ball at and it showed tonight. McBride and Collier led the way in scoring as the Lynx looked to be in a great position in that 3rd quarter.
The Lynx made some great strides as a team in the game but it was tough without Dorka Juhasz in the lineup and Jones on the boards as much as she was tonight. The Lynx will use this game as a lesson and learn from this as they don’t look to be beat in the boards or 2nd chance points this much.
The 3rd quarter was the start of the Sabrina Ionescu Show as she was able to score 9 points in that 3rd. Sabrina made the Lynx pay on the second chance baskets and she was able to knock some crucial 3 pointers down. The Lynx started the 4th off in trouble as they fouled the Liberty so much they were in the penalty with 7:45 left in the quarter. The Liberty finished with 4 players in double figures (Stewart, Jones, Laney, and Ionescu). Jones made it tough for the Lynx all night as she finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds. The Lynx allowed 25 2nd chance points to the Liberty as they were too much on the block down the stretch.
The Lynx will be looking to rebound from this game on Tuesday as they play the Chicago Sky. Look for Napheesa Collier to showout in this game as she was held scoreless in the 4th quarter. The Lynx have been on a mission as of late and the chemistry looks amazing these days. As a Lynx fan it’s a good thing knowing that when this team is fully healthy they’re going to be a tough out for anyone in the playoffs.

After months and months of waiting for a new deal for one of the best running backs in the NFL, Saquon and New York Giants came to an agreement on a 1 year $11 million dollar extension. Saquon Barkley was eyeing a contract in the range of $16 million, while the New York Giants were only willing to offer $13 million. The running back market continues to be a big question around the league with many star running backs that are leaving them feeling underpaid. The trend right now is to not pay the running backs. Saquon was willing to holdout and forgo the 2023 NFL season until he could find a contract that is around what he was seeking. By holding out it would’ve shown his true value to the New York Giants, but by doing so he knew it would hurt his team and teammates, as he is the center piece to the Giants offense.
Saquon’s Health.
The former No. 2 pick has been the team’s identity when healthy since they moved on from former quarterback Eli Manning. Injuries have been the big questions for most of Saquon’s career, as a knee and ankle injury kept him out of 21 games from 2019 through 2021. The big questions for the Giants is do they pay the man that when is healthy is one of the most valuable offensive weapons in the league or do they move on and look for either an up and coming back that is a free agent or a running back that the could draft and mold into what they’re looking for.
Team Development.
The New York Giants are looking to make the next step in the NFC East as they finished 12-5 last season and as the second place team in that division. The Giants will need all hands on deck as the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys are progressing faster than projected. As the Eagles went to the Super Bowl last season, and look to go back there again this year. Behind a healthy Saquon the league is on watch for what this team can do as Daniel Jones looks to continue to show that he can belongs in this league with his dual threat build. The new pieces that the Giants signed this off season and picked in the draft should take a giant load off Saquon’s hand and help him stay healthy this season and be a top running back in the league this year.

The Minnesota Lynx came into this game against the Connecticut Sun on a two game winning streak. The Lynx knocked off the Liberty last game and look to repeat that against the Sun today.
The Minnesota Lynx were playing their second game in a row without Napheesa Collier in the lineup. Last game it was rookie Diamond Miller and Kayla McBride that led the charge. This game against the Sun we got a heavy dose of the versatility of Minnesota as the scoring came from everywhere. Today the player that started it off was Aerial Powers as she was playing with passion from the moment she hit the floor. Powers was able to establish herself early in this one getting to her spots while finishing at the rim whenever she wanted. Powers started 6/6 from the field but finished 6/8 with 14 points that came in crucial moments. Every time the Sun made a run in the 1st half it seemed like Powers made a huge bucket.
The Connecticut Sun kept sticking around in this game and part of that reason why is because of DeWanna Bonner. The Lynx were defending Bonner as good as you could with a hand in her face but she still was able to finish with 31 points. Bonner was able to get to the line with ease and she made some tough baskets. Bonner was able to get the scoring going but it was Alyssa Thomas who finished with a triple double in the game 17 points, 11 assists, and 14 rebounds. Both of the Sun’s best players were making it tough on the Lynx but Minnesota showed a lot of grit and fight in this game.
The Lynx turned this game around in the second half when Kayla McBride, Lindsey Allen, and Jessica Shepard all scored 6 points in that 3rd quarter. The way they came out of halftime it set the tone as they kept hitting big shot after shot heading into the 4th. The Minnesota Lynx made the Sun pay when it came to back door cuts because they must of hit on about 5 or 6 them for easy points. The Lynx made some big shots down the stretch and Kayla was the one that led the charge. Kayla McBride finished with 19 points today against the Sun and was able to execute on that 3 point jumper whenever she wanted. It does need to be noted that Dorka Juhasz made the play of the day when she partially blocked DeWanna Bonnet’s game winning shot attempt.
This Lynx team is showing a lot of passion and competitiveness as they continue to climb in the playoff standings. The Lynx will take on the Sun again on Tuesday and will be looking for the same results.
