Shelton has been a rising superstar in tennis.

Luka Doncic Reacts to Lakers Signing 7-Foot Center DeAndre Ayton
Luka Doncic Reacts to Lakers Signing 7-Foot Center DeAndre Ayton originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers adding what many believe to be the key piece their 2024 roster was missing to make an NBA Finals run when they signed 7-foot center DeAndre Ayton to a two-year, $16.6 million deal on Wednesday. Advertisement The lack of a physical presence near the rim was, what some would argue, the Lakers' biggest Achilles heel last season. While the blockbuster trade that sent 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks and brought 26-year-old superstar Luka Doncic to L.A. was the biggest story of the NBA season, hands down, adding Doncic alone wasn't enough to push the Lakers past the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs. Adding Ayton, who was No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft and taken two spots ahead of Doncic, may just make L.A. an NBA Finals favorite provided it can sign Doncic to an extension and convince LeBron James to stick around. Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (77) dribbles the ball against the Minnesota Timberwolves during Game 3 of the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs at Target Johnson-Imagn Images The Lakers' signing of Ayton was praised by many around the league, but how do the team's players feel about it? Well, according to Dan Woike of The Athletic, fans now know how Doncic feels about his new teammate. Advertisement 'Doncic, according to league sources, is excited about the opportunity to play with Ayton,' Woike wrote. Ayton is also seemingly elated to now be playing alongside Doncic, who he said was 'making history, breaking history and just being great' during an interview on ESPN's 'The Jump' a few years back. While Ayton's NBA resume, which includes just a first-team NBA All-Rookie Team selection, isn't quite as impressive as Doncic's—he's a five-time All-Star and first-team All-NBA selection, and he won Rookie of the Year, has led the league in scoring and played in an NBA Finals—having two of the top three picks from the 2018 draft on their roster is a nice feather in the Lakers' cap.

Bradford youngster kicks off new TV show with Lionesses
A YOUNG Bradford actor features in a new football TV show alongside star players from England's Lionesses. Daya Singh Athwal, 12, is in CBeebies series Football Fantastics, which starts tomorrow. The live-action scripted series is described as "a high-energy, feel-good comedy that celebrates friendship, fun, and the beautiful game". Set in Yorkshire, it follows six children who come together every weekend at their local football group, where friendships are forged and epic adventures unfold both on and off the pitch. The series, produced by Strike, the team behind CBBC hit series Jamie Johnson FC, features cameos from Lionesses including Alessia Russo, Chloe Kelly, Fran Kirby and BBC Sports Personality of the Year Beth Mead, as well as cameos from England's Olly Watkins and former Millwall and Leyton Orient player Charlotte Lynch in her acting debut - plus special regular guest star, former England goalkeeper Jill Scott. Daya, who attends drama classes at Baildon-based drama school and acting agency, Articulate Agency, has had roles in the Secret Lives of 5 Year Olds, two TV commercials and short films Raj's Story and The Boat Story. "Being part of the Football Fantastics was amazing," said Daya. "I got to do two of my favourite things at once - play football and act! I had so much fun and learned a lot too. My weekly drama classes with Articulate and LAMDA lessons really helped me to feel confident on set and bring my character to life." Football Fantastics comes to CBeebies and BBC iPlayer in line with BBC's Summer of Sport and the Women's Euros. Says Jill Scott: "It was a pleasure to be involved in such an exciting, funny and important show. "The kids are so talented and inspiring for anyone involved in the game at any level, especially with a female coach!' Creator of Football Fantastics Sam Talbot said: 'With Football Fantastics, we wanted to capture the sheer joy of the game - the laughter, the friendships, the unforgettable moments that happen both on and off the pitch in kids' football clubs, for both them and their parents. "It's a love letter to grassroots football and the amazing kids who turn up each week just for the fun of it. We're thrilled to have legends like Jill Scott and the Lionesses bring their magic to the show. It's all about inspiring the next generation while having a blast along the way." Articulate Agency works with top UK and US casting directors, producers and show runners to secure high-profile, roles. Youngsters at Articulate have been in TV dramas including Gentleman Jack, Last Tango in Halifax and All Creatures Great and Small.
