The French left wing has experienced several upheavals in three years. Lambasted by Corinne Deacon for her weak influence on the game at the 2019 World Cup, Eugénie Le Sommer, unshakable in this position during her start of term, no longer fits into her plans and has not been called up since April 2021. Tired to play on the side, Amel Majri had been promoted higher following the World Cup and was moving forward as a matter of course, but a serious injury to the left knee and then the announcement of her pregnancy put an end to hopes of seeing her this summer.

The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Jacksonville Jaguars (24-21) on Thursday to kick off day four of the NFL regular season (which continues Sunday and Monday). The Ohio franchise, however, suffered once morest the Jaguars who signed their best game since the start of the season (but still have not won). Cincinnati has indeed won its success at the last second, on a 35-yard field goal from Evan McPherson.
Jacksonville had started the game very well, leading 14-0 at the break, thanks to two touchdowns from James Robinson and Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars might even have scored a third if Lawrence had not been stopped in front of the goal line less than two minutes from the break. Then Cincinnati came back behind in the second half. Tight end CJ Uzomah distinguished himself by scoring two TD’s.

The Warriors third at the buzzer
The Warriors, still deprived of their point guard and leader Stephen Curry (knee), whose return is not yet assured for the start of the play-offs, found great defensive values and chained Sunday on the side of New Orleans a fifth success rank (128-107), thanks in particular to 41 points from Klay Thompson (16/29 shooting, 7/14 from 3 points) and 22 points from the convincing Jordan Poole. A necessary series without which Steve Kerr’s men would not have managed to snatch third place in the Western Conference (53-29).
A crucial position for the sequence of events. Because in addition to the advantage of the field, the third place grants the Warriors the guarantee of not crossing Phoenix during a possible second round. The Suns, defeated by Sacramento in a match without stake (109-116 with 15 points on the Suns side for former Strasbourg player Ishmail Wainright) are still on cloud nine and leaders of the entire NBA following a historic season for the franchise (64 wins- 18 losses).
Thompson, Draymond Green and others will thus be opposed, during a first round which starts on Saturday, to the Denver Nuggets of MVP Nikola Jokic, sixth and beaten on Sunday by the LA Lakers for the last of coach Angelino Frank Vogel (141-146 ap, 41 points from Malik Monk), whose dismissal is announced.
Memphis, assured of second place in the West, did not field any of its executives in the defeat once morest Boston (110-139). Frenchman Yves Pons won his biggest playing time there – 26 minutes – in eleven NBA games played this season for the Grizzlies, and totaled 6 points (2/7 shooting, 2/6 3 points), 2 rebounds , 1 pass and 3 blocks.
Doncic: the specter of injury
After meeting in the Olympic semi-final, a match won by France in Tokyo (90-89), Rudy Gobert (Utah) and Luka Doncic (Dallas) should meet in the first round of the play-offs. Should, because, touched during the last day of the regular season, during the victory of Dallas once morest San Antonio (130-120), the Slovenian superstar of the Mavericks left the field at the end of the third quarter, touched in the left calf.
An injury which, if it is synonymous with prolonged absence for Doncic (26 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists), will more than seriously compromise the chances of the Texas club – even if the latter, fourth, will have the advantage of the field – once morest the Salt Lake City franchise. The Jazz for its part made the song in Portland on Sunday (111-80) with 18 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks from Rudy Gobert.
Play-in: Clippers and Batum opposed to Minnesota
Winners of Oklahoma City during a parody match (138-88, 14 points 15 rebounds for the French Jaylen Hoard at the Thunder, Nicolas Batum did not take part in the meeting), the Los Angeles Clippers (42- 40), eighth in the regular season, who picked up Paul George a few weeks ago, are playing in the play-in in the West. They will travel to Minneapolis (seventh, 46-36), the NBA’s best offense (115.9 points per game) on Tuesday to try to clinch seventh place, which would ship them into the clutches of Ja Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies in the first round. playoffs.
In the event of defeat, they would have a second chance to enter the top 8, this time playing at home once morest the winner of the confrontation between New Orleans and San Antonio (Wednesday), with the stakes, this time, eighth place and a series once morest Phoenix.
Boston ranks 2nd in the Eastern Conference, Brooklyn first play-off

Brooklyn one step away from the play-offs
A Boston-Brooklyn remake at the start of the play-offs? The tussle at the top of the Eastern Conference continued until the last night of the regular season and the results draw this outcome. In 2021, the Nets, seeded number 2, won ahead of the Celtics (4-1). The New Yorkers, who have had a turbulent season – Durant often injured, Irving the unvaccinated finally full-time with the team, the exchange of James Harden… – are not there yet, but they are on the rise in power at the best moment of the exercise.
On the night of Sunday to Monday, they did the job once morest Indiana (134-126) thanks to a formidable Kyrie Irving (35 points, 15/20 in shooting, 4/6 at 3 points, 7 rebounds) and a Kevin Durant in triple-double (20 points, 10 rebounds, 16 assists, career high). It was enough to ensure a fourth victory in a row and clinch 7th place in the East, while Cleveland also won on the last day once morest a Milwaukee in rest mode, without its executives. (133-115).
Nets and Cavs finish seventh and eighth with the same record (44-38), but Brooklyn has the advantage in direct confrontations. On Tuesday, it is therefore the Nets who will play at home in the first round of the play-in once morest the Ohio franchise. The winner will qualify for the play-offs with the number seven seed and will find second-placed Boston. The loser will have a second chance of qualifying for the final phase, once morest the winner of the duel between Atlanta (success in Houston 130-114 on Sunday, 28 points, 11 assists for Trae Young, 0 points in 7 minutes for Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot) at Charlotte (victory once morest Washington 124-108).
Toronto for Philadelphia, Chicago for Milwaukee in the first round
The winner of the second round of the play-in will be eighth and will therefore fight with the Heat. Assured of first place in the East, Miami lost to Orlando in an uninteresting Florida derby (111-125). Behind, the defeat without really playing the Bucks, combined with the victories of Boston in Memphis (139-110, 31 points for Jayson Tatum, the Grizzlies evolving without their executives) and of Philadelphia once morest Detroit (118-106, 8 points to 3 / 7, 1 assist for Killian Hayes at the Pistons) resulted in a three-way tie (Celtics, Bucks and Sixers at 51-31). At the head of the Atlantic division, Boston finished runner-up to Miami.
Consequence: Milwaukee, defending champion, third, will cross swords with Chicago (winner Sunday in Minneapolis 124-120, 35 points for Patrick Williams), sixth, in the first round of play-offs that the Bulls find for the first time since 2017 Fourth, Philadelphia will have the advantage of the floor at the opening of the final phase once morest one of the big surprises of the season, Toronto (5th, 48-34), beaten in New York (105-94, 6 points to 2 /11 for Evan Fournier on the Knicks side) at the end of the regular season.
