⚠️Bad news: Dortmund lose a key player
The central defender has suffered a muscle tear and will be out of action for the next two months. We'll see if the sporting management finds a replacement in the market, considering that Schlotterbeck is also in the infirmary and Niko Kovac plays with a back three.

Grimaldi recorded 17 goals and 58 points in 66 games with the Monsters last season. The 32-year-old is a two-time AHL All-Star and was named to the AHL Second All-Star Team in 2023-24 after putting up 36 goals and 73 points in 72 games with the Chicago Wolves. Originally a second round selection of the Florida Panthers in 2011 Grimaldi notched 30 goals and 67 points in 203 career NHL games with the Panthers, Colorado Avalanche, and Nashville Predators. Grimaldi has been one of the top forwards in the the AHL over the past four seasons. He sits 187th on the AHL all-time scoring list with 428 points in 499 games. The Rossmore, CA., native led the 2023 World Hockey Championship in scoring with Team USA and was named to the tournament All-Star Team after posting 14 points in 10 games. We have mentioned this in every free agent article but Grimaldi is another high profile AHL player who is departing for the KHL as the AHL continues to become a younger league.

Rams, Saints will hold a joint practice Thursday
The Rams wanted another joint practice after the Chargers canceled a scheduled one for this week because of injuries. They found one. The Rams and Saints will practice against each other Thursday at 11 a.m. PT at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, both teams announced Wednesday. The practice is closed to the public. The Saints played the Chargers in a preseason game Sunday and stayed out West to practice this week. New Orleans was not scheduled for any joint practices this summer. Their last one came with the Chargers in 2023 when they held training camp in Costa Mesa, California. The Rams held a joint practice against the Cowboys last week in Oxnard, California, ahead of their preseason game at SoFi.

Porsche Unveils New 911 Cup And GT3 R For Motorsport Duty
Porsche recently unveiled two cars that are a cornerstone of its racing efforts: The new 992.2-generation 911 Cup and revised GT3 R. The former is part of the brand's one-make series that runs in North America, Germany, and Asia, whereas the latter sees duty in global FIA GT3-class competition. In the USA, this most prominently takes the form of the IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship and SRO GT World Challenge America. Both race cars largely mimic their predecessors, yet, with some key changes to suspension and aerodynamics. Over 5,000 Cup Cars Built Since 1990 Built alongside road-going 911s at Porsche's Zuffenhausen, Germany facility, the current 992.1-generation 911 Cup has been in service since 2020 and totals 1,130 units. But now, with the 992.2 revision that debuted earlier this year, the new Cup will now be upgraded to reflect changes to its exterior. Additionally, some race-ready function is built into its bodywork. The front spoiler lip—acting as a key source of downforce—is now made up of three separate parts, which means easier and less-costly replacement after on-track contact. Similarly, the Cup loses the road-going version's daytime running lights, as, in the event of a collision, there's less threat to the Cup's radiator system. Plus, one less component to replace means less money spent by teams during repair. Additionally, a less-expensive carbon fiber fleece now comprises several rear body parts, which should be easier on teams' finances, too. The front fenders now feature louver vents and revised underbody aerodynamic engineering to improve overall precision on track, especially at high speed. Then, the rear spoiler has been revised for easier adjustment. In terms of power output, the naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter flat-six beneath every Cup car now produces 512 horsepower. Reigning it in is a revised braking package, with wider and larger brake discs up front with optimized ducting to improve cooling. Suffice to say, this will be the most capable, confident, and lively Cup car generation ever built since the series debuted 35 years ago. GT3 Brawler The current Porsche 911 GT3 R debuted in 2023 and has been no stranger to podiums around the globe. Last year, AO Racing's iconic Rexy GTD Pro entry claimed the season championship, and GT3 Rs claimed six wins in eight events in Germany's own Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS). Now, a new revised R is set to debut in grids for the 2026 season. While upgrades are minimal, they'll ensure competitiveness up against other GT3-class contenders from Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, BMW, and more, for years to come. They're largely focused on front-end aero and suspension by way of revised fender louvers and re-engineering kinematics in its double-wishbone suspension. These louvers 'help to counteract front-end compression during deceleration, thereby maintaining aerodynamic balance. This reduces the tendency of the car to tilt forward during braking, also known as pitch sensitivity. As a result, the new 911 GT3 R offers more precise and predictable braking behavior, improving overall control,' Porsche Motorsport states in its official press release. Improved durability and reliability has been the focus of the new GT3 R, too. The electrohydraulic power steering system features upgraded cooling, and new ceramic wheel bearings are fitted to improve overall robustness dealing with sustained duty on circuits around the globe. Several add-ons are now standard equipment, too, making it easier for teams to adhere to different series' rulebooks. Finally, the GT3 R's mighty 4.2-liter flat-six engine produces as much as 557 horsepower, though, adjusting this figure based on series' balance-of-performance rules will be easy to achieve. As the 992-generation has been out for some time, Porsche states that it will offer upgrade packages to bring pre-2026 911 GT3 Rs up to this current specification.
