James Wiseman is the potential number one pick in the 2020 draft. He signed with Excel Sports, which means the end of his collegiate basketball career. The 7-foot-one-inch center is currently playing in Australia.

Other potential top picks in next year’s NBA draft are LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards. Earlier in December, Wiseman announced his plans to play in the NBA. He left Memphis to prepare for the next chapter of his life.

Wiseman made his decision to leave Memphis instead of completing his 12-game suspension given by the NCAA. He was guilty of accepting $11,500 from coach Penny Hardaway in 2017. Hardaway donated $1,000,000 to the school in 2008 that made him a university booster in perpetuity.

Nevada gambling regulators filed a grievance against Steve Wynn. It can lead to the banning of the former casino magnate’s in the industry. The Gaming Control Board referred to Wynn’s sexual wrongdoing allegations filed against him since 2018.

The Gaming Control Board asked the Gaming Commission of Nevada to fine Wynn and cancel his status in the gambling industry in the state. The Gaming Commission acts on the recommendations of the board and has the last say on licensing issues.

Gambling licenses are a revocable privilege in Nevada. The Commission can revoke or deny licenses for individuals who it deems found unsuitable. Suitability has several factors including safety, the general welfare of state residents, morals, public health, and more, according to the report received by sportsbook pay per head reviews sites.

We’re only three months away from the year’s most anticipated fight between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr, yet it would probably be fair to say that punters are still a bit unsure as to who they should put their money on. Understandably, some are still recovering from having their fingers burned in New York, while others can’t quite find the bravery needed to put their money on Ruiz Jr.

That’s what makes this such an intriguing bout and one that will undoubtedly bring the world of boxing to a standstill when it happens. Despite all the uncertainty around the clash and even after Ruiz Jr was crowned heavyweight champion in June, the expert opinion would be to back the 29-year-old Joshua to right the wrongs of Madison Square Garden by knocking his Mexican-American opponent out.

While that may get a few eyebrows raised, it isn’t really a scenario that is farfetched at all. On paper, there is only one winner and that is the Watford-born Anthony Joshua.

Anthony Van Dyck has been installed as the 2-1 favourite to win the Irish Derby at the Curragh later this month where he will be looking to complete a Classic double following his success in the Epsom Derby for his trainer Aidan O’Brien.

The three-year-old colt hit the front with 100 yards to go at Epsom where he stayed on strongly to hold off the strong challenge of four horses who all finished a length behind him at the end of the 1m4f contest.

The son of Galileo soon became one of the leading two-year-olds last season following victories at Killarney, Leopardstown and the Curragh, the latter being the Group Two Futurity Stakes where he beat his stablemate, Christmas.

His success in Ireland earned Anthony Van Dyck his shot in the Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket last October where he could only finish in third place behind Too Darn Hot and Advertise, respectively, in the Group One two-year-old contest.
