PSG receive favourable tie in Coupe de France quarter-final
Paris Saint-Germain once again secured a favourable draw in this year's Coupe de France. Luis Enrique's side will travel to face National 2 side Stae Briochin in the quarter-finals of the competition.
There is a distinct lack of Ligue 1 sides in the draw. There have been plenty of upsets and the likes of Lille OSC and OGC Nice crashed out of the competition against lower-tier opposition in the Round of 16. It was N2 side Stade Briochin who beat Nice and their reward is a blockbuster tie against PSG.
Meanwhile, Stade Brestois will face Ligue 2 side USL Dunkerque, who beat Lille in a dramatic penalty shootout in the last round. AS Cannes will host Ligue 2 side EA Guingamp, who beat Toulouse FC, and SCO Angers, who beat RC Strasbourg Alsace will face either Bourgoin-Jallieu (N3) or Stade de Reims. Should Les Stadistes win their Round of 16 tie on Thursday night, they will set up the only all-Ligue 1 encounter.
Brest (L1) v Dunkerque (L2)
Cannes (N2) v Guingamp (L2)
Stade Briochin (N2) v PSG (L1)
Angers (L1) v Bourgoin-Jallieu (N3) OR Reims (L1)

Tracy McGrady Says He Never Got Title Shot Like Kobe Bryant
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. NBA Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady is one of the greatest players to have ever graced the basketball court. His skill set at his size was almost unheard of at the time. There is no question about his skill, but while that's the case, he has never been to the mountaintop. Despite his skill and resume, leaving the game of basketball without a championship is among the biggest things lacking for McGrady. Winning a championship is a feat only a few star players get to accomplish, and McGrady is not one of them. However, if you ask him, he feels he was never given a legitimate opportunity to win one. During a recent appearance on ESPN's First Take, McGrady didn't hold back, offering a bold take on the topic. He suggested that if you swapped Kobe Bryant for himself during that era, the Los Angeles Lakers would have still achieved the same level of success. Tracy McGrady attends the game between the Orlando Magic and the Atlanta Hawks at the Kia Center on January 07, 2024 in Orlando, Florida.

Photo by"We have too many talented players that come through this league that are championship worthy," said McGrady. "What I mean by that is, if you take them off a team that is a championship-quality team -- replace me with Kobe with Shaq. You don't think I could carry the Lakers to a championship? I never had the opportunity. I felt like that if I was put in that position to win a championship, I damn sure would show up and do what I do in the playoffs to elevate my team to that level. I just never had the chance. So, do I get diminished because I never won a championship? I was never put in that position." McGrady finished his career without a championship, but he still made seven All-Stars, a two-time scoring champion, a seven-time All-NBA player and won Most Improved Player in 2000-01. While his resume is not one to boast about, Bryant's resume and accomplishments in the game far surpass McGrady's. As for the late great legend, he is not only a Hall of Famer himself but also an 18-time All-Star, a five-time NBA champion, a two-time Finals MVP, a 2008 NBA MVP, a 12-time All-Defensive team member, a 15-time All-NBA selection, a two-time scoring champion, and a member of the 75th NBA Anniversary team. While Bryant always spoke highly of McGrady — once noting that McGrady could do everything he could, only with more height—it's clear the Lakers icon had more than just talent on his side. Bryant had the benefit of stronger supporting casts throughout much of his career, but more importantly, he possessed a rare mentality and competitive edge that separated him from the pack and helped push him to the next level.

Lefty Shota Imanaga will rejoin the Cubs next week in St. Louis
Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Left-hander Shota Imanaga will rejoin the Chicago Cubs early next week in St. Louis following a sharp Triple-A rehab start on Friday, manager Craig Counsell said Saturday. Counsell wasn't sure when Imanaga would be slotted into Chicago's rotation but said before the Cubs' game against the Seattle Mariners that the 31-year-old 'is gonna make his next start in the big leagues." Imanaga, who was 15-3 with a 2.91 ERA as a rookie last season, is coming back from a left hamstring strain. He got hurt covering first base during the sixth inning of a 4-0 loss at Milwaukee on May 4. Imanaga is 3-2 with a 2.82 ERA in eight starts for the Cubs this season. His return is expected to provide a lift to the NL Central leaders, who entered Saturday 4 1/2 games in front of Milwaukee and St. Louis. Imanaga tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings of two-hit ball for Triple-A Iowa at Nashville on Friday night. He struck out eight and walked two. 'Everything went great,' Counsell said. 'Did what we hoped he would do. He's in a position to be ready. So he's going to join us in St. Louis and we'll figure out the next steps.' Before the transition to Iowa, Imanaga pitched six scoreless innings over two rehab starts in the Arizona Complex League. He had a bullpen session in Arizona last Tuesday. Imanaga signed a $53 million, four-year contract with Chicago in January 2024. He often dazzled in 29 starts last season, making the NL All-Star team and finishing fourth in balloting for the NL Rookie of the Year. Also Saturday, the Cubs recalled right-hander Nate Pearson from Iowa and designated lefty Genesis Cabrera for assignment. Pearson is 3-1 with a 2.22 ERA in 19 appearances since he was optioned to Iowa on April 15. Cabrera had an 8.68 ERA in nine games with the Cubs. He signed with Chicago on May 29 after being designated for assignment by the Mets. ___ AP MLB: recommended

Caitlin Clark leads WNBA first returns All-Star voting
N After a record-setting rookie season for the Indiana Fever and an impressive start to her 2025 campaign, the WNBA revealed its first return on voting for the 2025 All-Star Game on Friday, with guard Caitlin Clark leading all players. Clark, who missed five games with a left quadriceps strain, averages 19.9 points on 41.7% shooting from the field, 35.5% from 3-point territory, and 79.4% from the free throw line in seven games played so far. While the former Hawkeye had an off-performance Thursday night against the Golden State Valkyries, Clark continues to be a driving force for the Fever and the television viewership numbers for the league overall. Joining Clark atop the first round of All-Star voting is Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, followed by fellow Fever forward Aaliyah Boston, Las Vegas Aces center A'ja Wilson, and New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart rounding out the top five. Regarding what makes up the voting numbers, fans account for 50%, while all current players and a media panel will account for 25% each. The fan voting portion of balloting ends Saturday, June 28. With this year's WNBA All-Star game taking place from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind., the overwhelming vote for Clark is not surprising, considering her iconic global reputation and outstanding on-court performance.
