At the moment, it appears Ricardo Pepi and Antonee Robinson, the two players most linked with moves, might just be staying, but that doesn't mean there aren't some other less-heralded moves to be made that could shake up the USMNT over the next year and a half leading up to the World Cup.

The national team does not appear to be deep at left back behind starter Antonee Robinson, with Sergiño Dest (when he comes back from a torn ACL) or Joe Scally probably the top No. 2 options.

New York has complained about calls not going their way all year. They still have managed to play through it, but it will be interesting to see if the league takes to heart what Thibodeau has been saying. Or better yet, if the league will even look to change.

The Knicks have two All-Star Starters for the first time since 1975. Here's how Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns are reviving the team.

HARRISON, N.J. (January 23, 2025) – New York Red Bulls II have acquired defender Juan Gutierrez on loan from Academia Alemana Popayan through the 2025 season pending visa and registration approval, the club announced today.

When it comes to Red Bulls II, there is no one that has been as influential as Ibrahim Sekagya. Sekagya has been involved with the club since it was launched on March 2, 2015 when he was named an assistant coach.

Led by a strong showing from Karl-Anthony Towns, the Knicks outlasted a scrappy Brooklyn Nets squad in the battle for New York in a 99-95 slugfest. Towns led the way on offense with a strong 25 points and 16 rebounds along the way. OG Anunoby added 20 points along with Jalen Brunson 's 17 to go along the way.

Recall that in a bold offseason trade, the Knicks sent Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, Keita Bates-Diop and a heavily protected first-round pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves to bring Towns to Madison Square Garden.
