2025 NBA draft: The complete results and order after draft lottery
The Dallas Mavericks won the lottery on Monday and the right to select Duke freshman Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft in Brooklyn, New York.
The Mavericks, who finished with a 39-43 record, entered the evening slotted 11th and had only a 1.8% chance of winning the top pick, the fourth-lowest odds to win since the lottery was instituted in 1985. They won the lottery for the first time in franchise history.

Dallas failed to qualify for the playoffs after losing in the 8-10 matchup of the play-in tournament, clearing the way for the franchise to enter the lottery for the second time in three years after adding Dereck Lively II with the 12th pick in 2023.
With the Mavericks landing the No. 1 pick, the San Antonio Spurs jumped six spots to receive the second pick, and the Philadelphia 76ers moved up three positions. The Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz, each with a 14% chance of winning the top pick, round out the top five, respectively.
The Washington Wizards, the other team with a 14% chance of claiming the No. 1 pick, fell down the draft board four slots and will draft with the sixth overall pick. The Wizards and Jazz were the two teams that dropped the furthest from their pre-lottery positions.

Flagg is the overwhelming favorite to be the top pick this year after establishing himself as the Player of the Year at the collegiate level. Should Flagg indeed hear his name called first on June 25, the All-American will become the sixth Blue Devil to be selected first in the NBA draft.

LAFC close to loan deal: Dutch winger set to turn out at Club World Cup
Javairo Dilrosun could be in action at the Club World Cup. According to VoetbalPrimeur, the latest rumours suggest Los Angeles FC have signed the Dutch forward on loan from Club America. 'Dilrosun is the first – and possibly only – signing during the special transfer window for one of the three MLS clubs participating in the World Cup,' GiveMeSport claim, with Seattle Sounders and Inter Miami keeping quiet. Advertisement 'Dilrosun will bolster Los Angeles FC's attack for the Club World Cup behind star player Denis Bouanga.' Details about the potential transfer of Dilrosun, who is under contract in Mexico until the summer of 2026, were not shared. LAFC are in a group with Chelsea, Flamengo and Espérance Sportive de Tunis at the Club World Cup. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is among the players under contract with the American team. Dilrosun was part of the youth academies of Ajax and Manchester City and eventually ended up at Hertha BSC in his career. Via Girondins de Bordeaux he moved to Feyenoord in 2022. The Rotterdammers sold Dilrosun to Club America at the beginning of 2024. In 2018, Dilrosun played one international match for the Dutch national team in the Nations League. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

DeMarcus Cousins Suspended for Season After Altercation With Fan
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. Former NBA All-Star center and lottery pick DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended from the Puerto Rican basketball league after an altercation with a fan. More NBA news: Former NBA All-Star Believes Thunder Resemble Prime Warriors Team The National Superior Basketball Association announced the following sanctions and fines for Cousins. "Guaynabo Mets player DeMarcus Cousins has been suspended for the remainder of the 2025 season and fined $4,250 for a disqualifying foul, a technical foul, and acts that incite violence or provocation. "In addition, the player must show cause why he should not be fined an additional $5,750, given the seriousness of the incident. "In view of the above, the player faces fines of up to $10,000." Dwight Howard #39 of the Philadelphia 76ers and DeMarcus Cousins #15 of the Houston Rockets speak before playing at Wells Fargo Center on February 17, 2021 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dwight Howard #39 of the Philadelphia 76ers and DeMarcus Cousins #15 of the Houston Rockets speak before playing at Wells Fargo Center on February 17, 2021 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Photo byThe incident, which took place on Monday, saw Cousins confront a fan courtside. He was eventually ejected, and as he returned to the locker room, fans threw drinks at him, which led him to confront some of the fans. The 34-year-old signed with the Guaynabo Mets in late April for the 2025 season. He had played with the team in 2023 and was sensational. In that season, Cousins averaged 20.4 points, 10.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in 25.4 minutes per game. He shot 44 percent from three and 69 percent from the charity stripe in free throws. As for this season, Cousins was great, averaging 18.2 points per game, nine rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.4 blocks in 10 games played this season. Cousins, a four-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA selection, spent 11 seasons in the league. Over the course of 654 regular season games, he suited up for the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, LA Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Denver Nuggets. A former standout at Kentucky, Cousins put together a strong NBA resume, averaging 19.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game on .460/.331/.737 shooting splits. The Kings made him the No. 5 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, and early in his career, he looked like a franchise cornerstone. But injuries changed the course of his journey — most notably a torn left Achilles tendon in 2018 during his first full season with the Pelicans. That injury marked a turning point. His production declined, and he never fully regained his dominant form. From that point on, he became somewhat of a journeyman, struggling to find long-term footing with any team. At 34, Cousins could still have something left in the tank, but teams across the league have been reluctant to take a chance.

England left battered and booed as Senegal expose the flaws Thomas Tuchel must fix
Managing England, as Thomas Tuchel is fast discovering, is harder than it may seem. A chastening week took a turn for the worse, culminating in the boos that followed his first defeat. It is a moot point whether losing to an accomplished Senegal side is actually a better result than only beating Andorra 1-0 but, a year from the World Cup, England looked anything but potential winners. It was a momentous occasion instead for Senegal: when Cheikh Sabaly scored the injury-time third goal, they celebrated becoming the first African team ever to beat England. They did not merely overcome them. They outclassed them. Outpassed, outrun and outwitted, England encountered opponents who were quicker of foot and mind, cleverer and more coherent. That can't all be attributed to Tuchel, in just the fourth game of his reign, but this was a snapshot of familiar England weaknesses. They lost their way after taking an early lead, lacked control in midfield and looked less than the sum of their parts. They were dismal and dreadful. Advertisement Rarely a man to keep his emotions under wraps, Tuchel was visibly irritated. His quixotic moves compounded their difficulties. If friendlies offer a chance to experiment, if he needs to get to know his new charges, if there is an element of trial and error, some of the choices that backfired felt odd. Even the most successful arguably illustrated their problems. Dean Henderson was the first goalkeeper to concede in Tuchel's tenure, but a string of saves illustrated that England at least have a fine alternative to Jordan Pickford. His best stops came in the opening quarter of an hour, blocking Nicolas Jackson's shot with his legs and parrying his Crystal Palace teammate Ismaila Sarr's header. Yet he was overworked, his defence shambolic at times. Tuchel had argued that fielding an all-Chelsea centre-back pairing would help subdue Jackson. They did not, though the debutant Trevoh Chalobah made several timely interventions. Levi Colwill fared worse, while Habib Diarra surged behind left-back Myles Lewis-Skelly for Senegal's second goal. Thomas Tuchel is quickly learning the perils of being England manager (Getty) Yet neither was embarrassed quite as much as the senior citizen in the back four. While Kyle Walker's evening included a guided deep cross that, somehow, Anthony Gordon steered wide from four yards, he offered evidence his 96th cap should be his last. Senegal's equaliser was an indictment of Walker: as Jackson hooked the ball across the penalty area, he was too slow to react as Sarr stole in to finish. Advertisement It should scarcely be news that Walker has lost his speed. A booking for a late challenge on El Hadji Malick Diouf was a case in point: Walker would have got their quicker if he still had his pace. Tuchel had seemed to ignore Walker's performances in his final few months before leaving Manchester City when selecting him. Trent Alexander-Arnold, left unused on the bench, may wonder how he was deemed an inferior option. In midfield, meanwhile, Conor Gallagher was particularly poor in possession. England's formation strayed dangerously close to a lumpen 4-4-2, making it easier for Senegal to outmanoeuvre them. The exception came when Harry Kane dropped deep; at times, he came so deep he materialised behind much of the midfield, doing his impression of a quarterback, an east London Andrea Pirlo, looking to release Gordon, who began with energy and intensity but faded. Kyle Walker was at fault for Senegal's equaliser and could be consigned to the England scrapheap (PA Wire) Kane had started his night in familiar terrain and fashion. Tuchel made 10 changes. One name stayed the same: Kane started and marked a fourth cap under Tuchel with a fourth goal in that time. A tap-in was testament to his predatory instincts, even if much of the credit belonged to Eberechi Eze, for winning the ball from Lamine Camara, and Gordon, whose shot was parried into Kane's path. A 107th cap took him past Sir Bobby Charlton; Kane now has as many goals as Charlton and Geoff Hurst combined. Advertisement But England are yet to get goals from many of their other attacking talents under Tuchel. When Kane went off, the German initially played without a specialist striker; a slight, perhaps, for Ivan Toney, who was confined to a late cameo, as Morgan Rogers and Eze operated in central attacking roles, with neither as an out-and-out centre-forward. One substitute thought he had equalised, Jude Bellingham celebrating what seemed a leveller, only for his volley to be disallowed because Colwill had handled. Another substitute almost brought England level twice. The Nottingham Forest favourite Morgan Gibbs-White was bright and prominent on home soil as Edouard Mendy made two fine saves, denying him and Bukayo Saka. Morgan Gibbs-White was prominent on home soil (Getty) But no sooner had Gibbs-White come on than England were behind, Diarra shooting through Henderson's legs. And another England replacement inadvertently set up their third goal, Curtis Jones losing the ball and Camara, in redemptive fashion, powering away to find Sabaly. After three wins for England came three goals in a loss. Senegal are much the best side they have faced under Tuchel, but they could face far better again next summer. To say this bodes badly is an understatement. The rest of the world's nations are unlikely to be quaking in their boots. Watch every Fifa Club World Cup game free on DAZN. Sign up here now.
