Israel Adesanya Suffered Severe Injury Before UFC 287

by

Israel Adesanya regained the UFC middleweight championship. After a late knockout to Alex Pereira in their first bout, Izzy reclaimed his title in the rematch. However, everything wasn’t perfect leading up to the big rematch. Recently, Adesanya revealed that he was dealing with a major injury before the fight. On Thursday, Adesanya revealed a video of when he tore his MCL in the middle of training. The video is a tough reminder about what these fighters go through during training.

However, Adesanya fought through the pain of his injury. As he reclaimed the middleweight throne in a convincing fashion. Adesanya’s knockout of Pereira will now live forever in the UFC knockout reel. Undoubtedly this injury will further the legacy of Adesanya. Not many people would be able to continue through such an injury. However, Adesanya wasn’t going to let this injury be an excuse, no matter the outcome. Because this is the first time we are hearing about the issue. Check out the video of the incident below.

Israel Adesanya Overcomes Scary Injury

The pain on Adesanya’s face in the video makes it hard to watch. Seeing an athlete put so much time into an event. Only to have that opportunity potentially taken away is a challenging thought. However, those thoughts run through the minds of every fighter training for their next big fight. If Adesanya would have made this injury known, he wouldn’t have been cleared to fight. So this incident could have robbed Adesanya and the fans of one of the most incredible nights in UFC history.

But the injury has happened, and Adesanya is now wearing the crown. The current middleweight champ is now looking forward to his next test in the octagon. While Pereira is looking to make the move to light heavyweight. For now, it seems that Adesanya and Pereira are going their separate ways. However, something tells me there’s money to be made in another matchup. But for now, Israel Adesanya will celebrate one of the biggest moments in his professional career. For the latest news and MMA and sports, keep it right here with HNHH.

Frank Ocean Drops Out Of Coachella Week 2

by

Frank Ocean’s highly anticipated headlining performance at Coachella did not live up to the hype or the very high expectations of his fans. Unlike many of the other artists, Frank’s performance was not live-streamed. This upset many fans who had planned to watch from home. In addition, those who attended Coachella in person expressed some disappointment with the logistics and scheduling of the performance. Although people were pleased that he showed up, there were issues that prevented it from being a fully satisfying experience. From Frank showing up an hour late to an injury he sustained before the performance, the entire situation was a mess.

It isn’t all bad in the end, though. Frank did confirm that he has a new album on the way. “It’s been so long. Everybody talks about how long it’s been. ‘It’s been so long, it’s been so long.’ But I have missed you,” he said. “I want to talk about why I’m here, because it’s not because of a new album. It’s because — not that there’s not a new album… but there’s not right now. Chill, chill, chill. No, it’s not right now.” Hopefully that was at least some comfort to the fans who were upset that he was late. Though they may have been angry when he cut the set short, they will probably be counting themselves lucky now. Frank just pulled out of week 2.

Frank Leaves Fans Hanging

In a new statement released by Frank and his team, it has been confirmed that the artist will not be making an appearance at weekend 2. “Frank Ocean will not be performing at weekend 2 of Coachella. After suffering an injury to his leg on festival grounds in the week leading up to weekend 1,” the statement said. “Frank Ocean was unable to perform the intended show but was still intent on performing, and in 72 hours, the show was reworked out of necessity.” Cue disappointment and anger from Frank’s fans.

In the statement, Frank also had a few things to say. However, they were mostly empty words about how special it was to have been there the first weekend. “It was chaotic. There is some beauty in chaos. It isn’t what I intended to show,” Frank said. “But I did enjoy being out there and I’ll see you soon.” Whether or not this statement is enough to assuage the anger of fans who bought tickets specifically for Frank Ocean remains to be seen. What do you think? Do you think Frank is in the wrong here? Sound off in the comments!

Jaylen Brown Suffers Bizarre Injury: Photo

by

Jaylen Brown’s injury couldn’t have happened at the worst time. The Celtics star has suffered a hand injury from an accident that happened off the court. Brown told the Boston media he needed five stitches in his right hand after cutting it on glass. According to the former Cal Bear, he said he dropped a vase at home, resulting in the injury. The unfortunate injury will likely sideline the Celtics star for the rest of the season. However, he will be available for the start of the playoffs.

The Celtics are one of the top teams heading into the NBA Playoffs. Brown is one half of a superstar duo in Boston. Jayson Tatum and Brown have led the Celtics through an amazing season. The team will be the two seed in the Eastern Conference for the playoffs. The Celtics are the reigning Eastern Conference Champions. As has been noted, Stephen A. Smith believes the Celtics are the best team in the NBA. That is high praise coming from one of the most prominent voices in the game.

Jaylen Brown Says Celtics Fans Shouldn’t Worry

However, it would be hard not to worry as a Celtics fan. In the photo above, it seems Brown’s hand is heavily bandaged. The injury is a tough break for the young star. Recently, there have been discussions among the media that Brown may not like his role in Boston. However, according to Brown, those reports are all just smoke and mirrors. Brown is enjoying his time in Boston. Also stating he has enjoyed watching Tatum grow on and off the court.

The Celtics will not know their first-round opponent until after the play-in tournament. If the current Eastern Conference seventh seed were to stay in that position, the Celtics would meet Miami. The Heat are just a few years removed from their own Eastern Conference title. A potential meeting between the two would be a massive matchup. Do you believe the injury will affect the way Brown plays? Let us know your thoughts on the injury in the comment section. As always, keep it right here at HNHH for the latest news in the NBA.

Ben Simmons “Probably Not” Returning To Nets This Season

by

Ben Simmons probably won’t return to the Brooklyn Nets court anytime this season, says Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn. Moreover, the former Philadelphia 76ers player hasn’t joined his Brooklyn teammates on a court since before the All-Star Weekend break. Ahead of the team’s Saturday night (March 25) game against the Miami Heat, Vaughn clarified the status of Simmons’ playtime. Furthermore, he said that he continues to deal with an injury, specifically a nerve impingement in his back. While this is official reason enough, many expressed enough disappointment in his Nets performance that they think more unfortunate moves are at play.

“For me as a coach, there’s some things that I can control, some things that I can’t control,” Vaughn said according to Tim Reynolds of AP. “What I can’t control is the impingement. What I can control is getting this group ready to play. And then in all honesty, the realism that he’s probably not going to join us for the rest of the year … certainty will come once he continues to be looked at by specialists.”

Ben Simmons Unlikely To Return To Nets This Season

Considering those back injuries, it’s unfortunate to see them contribute to what many call one of the biggest falls from grace in NBA history. Many might call that a stretch, but it shows the kind of potential that a player like the 26-year-old can demonstrate. For example, his injury issues coincided with what many interpret as a lack of confidence, lackluster performances in the league, and a lack of motivation to play basketball. Moreover, this development comes after the team announced his impingement on Friday (March 24), and after he missed all 16 games the Nets played in the second half of the year.

Even then, his stats in the games he did play didn’t paint him as a valuable asset to lose. Furthermore, he averaged 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.3 steals in 26.3 minutes per game. With the season coming to a close soon, only time will tell what awaits Ben Simmons. For more on him and the latest updates from the NBA world, come back to HNHH.

LeBron James & The Lakers Finally Get Good News

by

LeBron James is undoubtedly the heart and soul of the Los Angeles Lakers’ organization right now. Although it took him 15 seasons before joining the Lakers, there is no doubt that e is a valued member of that franchise. Overall, he helped bring the team a title back in 2020, and that will always be appreciated. Since then, however, the team has struggled to have any sort of playoff success. In fact, the team missed the postseason last year. Furthermore, the team is presently in yet another tight race for the play-in. Needless to say, there is a lot riding on this season.

As many fans already know, LeBron has been out of the Lakers’ lineup as of late. On February 26th, he injured his ankle which has led to his absence, ever since. Despite him being gone, the Lakers have done a good job of maintaining their presence in the play-in race. They are just a couple of games away from shooting up into seventh place, and with nine games left, sixth isn’t out of the question. In fact, the race for sixth could become a lot easier, very soon.

LeBron James On The Mend

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar could very well be back on the court for the last week of the season. This ultimately means James would play the last three or four games before the play-in. By that point, the Lakers will either be in a position to launch into the playoffs or they will be forced to win out in order to capture 10th place and secure a spot in the play-in. No matter what, this is great for the purple and gold who need as much help as possible.

Overall, LeBron is someone who knows how to navigate through these instances. The Lakers have a fairly young team, but they are clicking right now, which bodes well for a potential playoff run. No matter what, these last two and a half weeks are going to be interesting to watch. Hopefully, we get to see LeBron James at his best, very soon. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Lonzo Ball Breaks Silence On Latest Injury Update

by

Lonzo Ball has gone through some serious injury issues over the last year and some change. Firstly, Ball was hit with the injury bug back in January of 2022. He hurt his knee and needed to get surgery. Unfortunately, the surgery didn’t help much as Ball was still in pain. Even at the start of the season, Lonzo had not shown signs of improvement. Consequently, he went out and got himself a second surgery. However, even that hasn’t helped. Ball is still in pain, and he cannot run or jump.

This has shocked doctors, and it has subsequently led to quite a few consultations across the country. On Thursday, it was revealed that Ball will actually get a third surgery. In fact, this will be a cartilage transplant, which is a pretty rare procedure. Needless to say, doctors just want to get to the bottom of all of this. Luckily, Ball and the Bulls or confident that this procedure will finally solve all of his issues.

Lonzo Ball Speaks

“This has been a frustrating process, but I’m confident these next steps are the best path forward,” Ball said. “The support of my family, friends, fans and medical staff throughout my recovery is what keeps me moving forward. I can’t wait to get back to what I love doing most – playing basketball.” Unfortunately, it should be noted that Ball will have to miss a whole other season of basketball. He will likely have to return for the 2024-25 season.

Overall, it is a very unfortunate situation for all involved, especially Lonzo. We just hope that he is able to get his body right, as he deserves to have an opportunity in the league. It’s been tough to watch, and we’re sure Bulls fans have been going through it. Let us know what you think of Ball’s comments, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Kevin Durant Suffers Brutal Injury Due To Freak Accident

by

Kevin Durant has had an incredible start to his time with the Phoenix Suns. Overall, Durant and the Suns are 3-0 when KD plays and they definitely look like the best team in the league. However, the Suns are a franchise that is extremely cursed. Whenever it seems like they are about to win a title, something happens that completely derails them. In 1993, they had to face MJ. In the 2000s, they ran into rigged officiating. Finally, in 2021, they ran into Giannis. Needless to say, they are a team that is mired in all sorts of bad luck.

Last night, the Suns were looking to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. This was supposed to be Durant’s very first game with the Suns at home. Consequently, the atmosphere was sensational as fans just wanted a glimpse at KD. Unfortunately, their hopes turned into a nightmare very quickly. This is because Durant tweaked his ankle in warmup after slipping on the court. In the video below, you can see how KD’s ankle bends at a 90-degree angle. It looks truly awful, and although Durant continued his warmup, he ended up skipping the game.

Kevin Durant Falls

Despite Durant’s absence, the Suns went on to pulverize the Thunder by a score of 132-101. Devin Booker was sensational during the match, and he willed the Suns to a win. However, all of the attention has remained on KD and the injury issues he is facing. According to the local outlet AZ Central, Durant may very well have a grade 2 sprain. This means the superstar could miss the rest of the regular season. Furthermore, there is even a worst-case scenario in which he is not able to start the playoffs.

If this happens to be the case, then the Suns’ curse has to be a real thing. There is no way one single franchise can carry forth all of this bad luck. However, they still have a very solid core, which means they shouldn’t fall out of the playoffs, anytime soon. Hopefully, KD is able to come back stronger than ever. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

LeBron James Spotted Limping After Injuring Right Foot

by

LeBron James was seen limping as he left the American Airlines Center in Dallas following the Los Angeles Lakers’ win over the Mavericks. He appeared to injure his right foot during a layup attempt on Dwight Powell in the third quarter. After the contact, floor microphones for the broadcast picked up James remarking to the team’s bench that he “heard a pop.” James remained in the game until its conclusion. The Lakers won 111-108.

“It’s been better,” James said when asked about his foot afterward. “That’s for sure. But I definitely wasn’t going to go to the locker room and not finish the game out tonight. Just understood the importance of the game, and then with the momentum that we had, I felt like we could still win after being down. We’ll monitor it the next couple days, see how it feels and go from there.”

Lakers coach Darvin Ham said that James is “good” as of now but the team will be monitoring his foot. “He’s good,” he confirmed. “Our medical people are looking at him now. He’ll be reevaluated again in the morning. So once we get some type of official word tomorrow, we’ll go from there. But as of right now, he’s good.”

James finished with 26 points on 10-for-23 shooting, adding eight rebounds and three assists. He scored 11 of his points in the fourth quarter, after the injury occurred. For the victory, the Lakers overcame a 27-point deficit, the biggest comeback by any team this season. With the win, the team improves to 29-32 leaving them at 11th place in the Western Conference standings. They’re currently fighting for a spot in the playoff games as the season nears the final stretch. There’s reason for Lakers fans to be hopeful as their team has played notably better since acquiring D’Angelo Russell, who was absent for Sunday’s win in Dallas.
