Napoli make contact with PSG outcast Carlos Soler
Napoli have initiated contacts with Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Carlos Soler ahead of a potential summer move (h/t Gianluca Di Marzio).
After clinching the Serie A title, the Partenopei are looking to strengthen the squad on all fronts, shortlisting a handful of names in the transfer market.

Kevin De Bruyne is on the verge of completing a sensational move to Diego Maradona Stadium, but Antonio Conte's men are keen on adding another midfielder to their ranks.
Soler has returned to Parc des Princes after spending the 2024/25 season on loan at West Ham United.
Despite making 31 appearances, the Spaniard struggled to establish himself as a regular for the Hammers, who eventually opted against his permanent transfer, considering his hefty transfer fee and wages.
PSG could be open to selling the 28-year-old, as he is no longer part of manager Luis Enrique's plans. His contract also runs out in 2027.

The former Valencia star can revive his flagging career under Napoli gaffer Antonio Conte, who is known for getting the best out of players.
For instance, the Italian tactician took a struggling Scott McTominay under his wing and turned him into a world-class midfielder.
The former Manchester United star was pivotal in Napoli's Serie A triumph last season, while also being named the league's MVP.
Napoli tracking Bologna duo
Conte is also eyeing a top-class winger to fill the void of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who moved to PSG in January, and has identified Bologna's Dan Ndoye as a top target.
The Swiss attacker has been impressive for Rossoblu, who have been punching above their weight in the last couple of seasons.

He also scored the winning goal against AC Milan in the Coppa Italia final that ended Bologna's 51-year trophy drought.
Napoli have also earmarked Ndoye's Bologna teammate Sam Beukema as a potential target to strengthen their backline.
The 26-year-old centre-back has earned praise for his stellar performances with the Italian underdogs and is also in line to receive his first Netherlands national team call-up soon.

Liberty star Jonquel Jones helped to locker room after ankle injury
The Liberty are hoping it's a minor injury for Jonquel Jones. (Photo) Reigning WNBA Finals MVP Jonquel Jones had to be helped to the locker room Thursday after an apparent ankle injury. In the first quarter of the New York Liberty's game agains the Washington Mystics, Jones rolled her ankle on the foot of Mystics rookie Kiki Iriafen after jumping for a bank shot in the paint. She immediately fell to the court clutching her ankle, and remained there before training staff helped her off the floor. Advertisement The Liberty later said Jones was questionable to return with an ankle injury. Jones entered Thursday averaging 15.7 points in six games, her best mark since her MVP season in 2021, plus 11.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 blocks per game. That performance has helped the Liberty open the season on a seven-game win streak.

Finals things to know: Shai nearing a milestone, and don't expect close games
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a chance to make a whole slew of history in these NBA Finals. The Oklahoma City star is the first reigning MVP who'll play in the finals — they start Thursday night when the Thunder play host to the Indiana Pacers — since Golden State's Stephen Curry in 2016. He could become the first player to win a scoring title and an NBA title in the same season since Shaquille O'Neal did it for the Los Angeles Lakers in 1999-2000. And sometime in Game 1 or Game 2, Gilgeous-Alexander will likely hit another milestone. He comes into this series with 2,960 points this season — officially, anyway, more on that in a second — between the 82-game regular-season slate and now the postseason. With 40 more points, he will record the 25th instance of a 3,000-point season when combining the regular season and the playoffs. The most recent to do it was Luka Doncic, who had 3,005 points for Dallas last season. If the NBA Cup championship game counted statistically, which it doesn't, Gilgeous-Alexander would only need 19 more points for 3,000. He had 21 in that OKC loss to Milwaukee at Las Vegas in December, but those points don't count toward his season total. Michael Jordan had 10 seasons with at least 3,000 points, Wilt Chamberlain had five and nine other players — Bob McAdoo, Elgin Baylor, James Harden, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Rick Barry, Shaquille O'Neal and Doncic — have one. 4 Canada For the second consecutive year, there are four Canadians in the NBA Finals. Last year, it was Oshae Brissett for Boston and AJ Lawson, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Dwight Powell for Dallas. This year, it's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort for Oklahoma City, along with Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard for Indiana. 'I played against Andrew when I was 9 years old,' Gilgeous-Alexander said. 'It's been an amazing journey. To see him having success, my own success, obviously Lu's success, Ben's success, it's special. It's hard to even wrap your head around. ... For us to make it to this stage, is a testament to our hard work, our character, people around us that helped us get here. It's been a blessing. It's been super fun.' Dort said he hopes Canadians enjoy seeing four of their own in the finals. 'Obviously we represent our teams here,' Dort said. 'But at the end of the day we represent our country as well.' And it's certain that Montreal will get a title: Dort and Mathurin are both from there. 'I think it's a great opportunity for me, Lu, the whole Montreal city,' Mathurin said. 'I think it's a great step in the right direction just to be able to go against each other. You know, Lu's a great friend of mine. I would call him brother right now, but we're enemies.' Finally, the finals, for James Johnson Indiana's James Johnson has been in the NBA for 16 seasons. He has played for 10 different franchises. He has played under 11 different coaches. He has finally made the NBA Finals. Johnson came close in 2019-20, starting the season with Miami — which wound up making the bubble finals that season. But Johnson was part of a three-team trade about a month before the pandemic hit and ended up in Minnesota. 'Getting here now means that I was fortunate enough to be on a team of guys that only want winning,' Johnson said. 'I was fortunate enough to join a team of guys that just want to win — and they want to win by any means necessary.' Where are the close games? The last time Indiana's Rick Carlisle coached in the NBA Finals, every game was basically decided at the end. All six games of the Dallas-Miami series in 2011 were decided by 10 points or less. Since then, those games are rare. Out of the last 73 NBA Finals games, starting with the 2012 Heat-Thunder matchup through last season's Boston-Dallas series, the average margin of victory has been 12.4 points per game. There hasn't been an instance of more than three consecutive single-digit finals winning margins in that stretch, and 45 of the 73 games have been decided by at least 10 points. And there have been only six games in the last 12 finals decided by three points or less — while 10 have been decided by 20 points or more. Record drought between overtimes There hasn't been an overtime game in the NBA Finals since Game 1 of the 2018 series between Golden State and Cleveland. The seven-year drought and counting without a finals overtime game is the longest in NBA history. There was a six-year stretch from 1984 through 1990 without an OT finals game, but never seven — until now. The division champion quirk If Oklahoma City wins the NBA title, it will mark the 13th time in the last 14 seasons that a division champion has wound up winning the finals. The only exception in that span was Golden State in 2022. Before that, the last team to not win their division but win the NBA title was Dallas in 2011 — coached by current Indiana coach Carlisle. Playoff pool totals The Thunder and Pacers are playing for the NBA championship, the Larry O'Brien Trophy and about $5 million. Technically, $5,002,359. That's what one team will get added to its share of the league's annual playoff pool by winning the NBA Finals this season. The total pool this year, which will be divided by the 16 playoff teams, is $34,665,698. The Thunder have already secured no worse than $7,418,145 from the pool. The Pacers have secured at least $6,160,260. The bonus pool is typically split in some way among players and staff from the playoff teams. ___ AP NBA:

NBA Finals Game 1 live updates, score: Indiana Pacers open series vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
The 2025 NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers tips off on Thursday from the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. After an eventful first three rounds, the NBA season will conclude in the coming weeks, with either the Pacers winning their first NBA championship or the Thunder claiming their first title since 1979, as the Seattle SuperSonics. Advertisement League MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shined all season and led the Thunder into the playoffs with a 68-14 regular-season record. With the Canadian star in the forefront and a deep, well-rounded cast, Oklahoma City swept the Memphis Grizzlies, came out on top after seven games against the Denver Nuggets and bested the gritty Minnesota Timberwolves in five games. The Thunder are making their first Finals appearance since Kevin Durant, James Harden and Russell Westbrook lost to LeBron James and the Miami Heat in 2012. While Gilgeous-Alexander basked in the MVP glory, Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton was voted the "most overrated" player by his peers in an anonymous poll from The Athletic late in the regular season. That proved to be the fuel he needed to run through the Eastern Conference. The team secured the fourth seed with a 50-32 regular-season record and went on a dragon-slaying run to their first Finals appearance since 2000. Advertisement Along with former NBA champion and eventual Eastern Conference Finals MVP Pascal Siakam, the Pacers beat the Milwaukee Bucks and upset the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in five games each. They then traded haymakers with the New York Knicks in a heated six-game series that produced plenty of viral moments.
