Celtics’ Kemba Walker to miss at least 2 games with sore left knee


Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker will miss at least the next two games with a sore left knee, coach Brad Stevens said on Saturday. Walker is averaging 22.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 42 games this season. Stevens also announced that center Enes Kanter would miss Saturday's game due to a hip injury. "I think he’s pretty close," Stevens said. "But I thought the other day when I saw him moving it was probably unlikely. Today he looked a little bit better but still out.” https://twitter.com/nicolecyang/status/1223652191946334209?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1223652191946334209&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nba.com%2Fnews Source: nba.com

However, even with big changes made to the roster, the team have not been performing that well and now Peter ‘ppd’ Dager has decided to change things up again – following the departure of Gunnar from the squad. https://twitter.com/NiPGaming/status/1223229694415261703?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1223229694415261703&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fvpesports.com%2Fdota2%2Fnews%2Fninjas-in-pyjamas-announce-there-new-dota-2-roster Announced via their Twitter earlier...

FaZe beats NiP in BLAST PREMIER SEMIFINALS


FaZe clan got their first wins in the BLAST Premier against the new line up of NiP. It was awfully deflating way to start the year for NiP.

After ending 2019 with a last-place finish in Riffa, the European mixture is looking like a title contender once again, and fans of the team will have been pleased with the performance of youngster Helvijs "broky" Saukants, who at times looked like a superstar. The bleak performance shows that NiP still has a lot of work ahead before they can call themselves a tier-one team again. They were simply...

How do you plan for life without your most-prized asset? That was the dilemma that Jonas Gundersen faced when he took the job as the new COO of NiP, at the start of this year, just days before f0rest officially left for Dignitas. The Swedish veteran rightfully belongs to the pantheon of the greatest esports players, even though he has never really been the dominant player in the history of the Counter-Strike franchise; in 1.6, he shared the throne with Filip "NEO" Kubski (the question of who the better player was remains a...
