The last minute trip to Washington was therefore not trivial. After training with around ten NBA franchises, Kyshawn George traveled to the American capital this beginning of the week. “Not to play but to chat and eat” he told us during a video interview last weekend. It seems that the discussions and the menu were tasty. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Wednesday evening, after 2.5 hours of waiting at his table in the company of his parents, his brother Jamal, his agent and two childhood friends, Kyshawn George finally saw his name called out by NBA boss Adam Silver. It was 4:46 a.m. in Switzerland when the 20-year-old from Chablais climbed the steps and placed a Knicks cap on his imposing hair. But a few moments earlier, the New York franchise had exchanged its draft choice with the Wizards.

The upcoming arrival of Kyshawn George in Washington was greeted with outpourings of joy in Monthey, in a small room at the School of Commerce and General Culture. All night, 80 people remained glued to a giant screen broadcasting a ceremony taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Including Suzanne, Kyshawn’s grandmother. “It was a distressing and exceptional moment at the same time,” she reacted.

Born on December 12, 2003, in Valais, Kyshawn George did all his youth classes at BBC Monthey, from 2010 to 2019. He then left the family cocoon to emigrate to France, to the Chalon training center, as before him Thabo Sefolosha and Clint Capela, the first two Swiss to join the NBA.

In Chalon, the Valaisan splashed his talent in the Pro B hopefuls championship – he was elected in the best five – and forced the doors of the first team in the fall of 2022.

A year later, he flew to the United States and Miami. With the Hurricanes, in NCAA I, the guard had a promising season (8 points on average), standing out for his 3-point skill (41% over the season). Something to catch the eye of Washington Wizards recruiters.

German Hopefuls Niemeier and Siegemund Bow Out in Wimbledon

Out for German women in Wimbledon: Niemeier and Siegemund fight in vain

Jule Niemeier leafed through her light blue notebook, seeking help, Laura Siegemund fought relentlessly until the last ball – but it wasn’t enough: The Wimbledon grass court classic is also over for the two remaining German hopefuls. Daniel Altmaier was unable to take advantage of a real opportunity.

Siegemund annoyed the 2022 winner Elena Rybakina for a long time and, despite her 3:6, 6:3, 3:6 defeat, once again proved her qualities as a competitor. Niemeier was clearly inferior to the savvy semi-finalist from last year, Elina Svitolina from Ukraine, in a 3:6, 4:6 defeat. The bottom line is that no German player is in the third round of the classic. Angelique Kerber, Eva Lys and Tamara Korpatsch failed in the first round.

Niemeier is also counting on this, as she seems to be on a positive path again after a difficult year in 2023. But she ultimately made too many avoidable mistakes against top player Svitolina. Hopes of another run like in 2022, when Niemeier made it to the last eight, were dashed.

Siegemund fought as hard as ever and even got former national coach Barbara Rittner on the Prime Video microphone. “She just plays different tennis, she’s thought about something,” said Rittner. But Rybakina had the last word. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

On Friday, the eyes of German tennis fans will be on Struff, who is battling against Daniil Medvedev from Russia for a place in the round of 16. If everything goes perfectly for the football fan, he might even be able to watch Germany’s European Championship match against Spain that evening with a victory of his own under his belt.
