by Angel Ortiz | Aug 5, 2023 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

Stephen Curry is now set to receive his 11th signature sneaker, The Under Armour Curry 11 has been recently revealed. Curry was seen practicing in the Curry 11 during a shoot around basketball session.

What looks to be a new Cushioning setup in the midsole still does feature flow technology on the outsole. The upper does seem to still feature Warp 2.0 technology although not confirmed yet. There seems to be extra TPU support on the lateral sides of the shoe to limit the movement of the foot from slipping. Also worth noting the pull tab features “Curry XI” branding in reference to the Curry 11.

There is no official release date yet but expect the Under Armour Curry 11 to release during the summer or before the start of the 2023-24 NBA Season.

The New York Liberty’s 2nd Chance Points Help Them Defeat Minnesota (76-66)

Featured

The Minnesota Lynx came into this game wanting to get back into the win column at home vs New York. The Lynx would have a great chance at that knowing they had Napheesa Collier back in the lineup.

The Lynx were able to set the tone in this one early as Napheesa Collier was back on the floor like nothing happened. Collier was hitting her mid range jumper and was able to get to the rim whenever she needed. One thing that really helped the Lynx very early in this game was the ball movement. When the Lynx get the ball in their passing lanes and back cuts it makes everything easier. Lindsay Allen was one of those players that was able to make a huge impact passing as she finished with 10 assists. Allen knows where Collier/Miller/McBride want the ball at and it showed tonight. McBride and Collier led the way in scoring as the Lynx looked to be in a great position in that 3rd quarter.

The Lynx made some great strides as a team in the game but it was tough without Dorka Juhasz in the lineup and Jones on the boards as much as she was tonight. The Lynx will use this game as a lesson and learn from this as they don’t look to be beat in the boards or 2nd chance points this much.

The 3rd quarter was the start of the Sabrina Ionescu Show as she was able to score 9 points in that 3rd. Sabrina made the Lynx pay on the second chance baskets and she was able to knock some crucial 3 pointers down. The Lynx started the 4th off in trouble as they fouled the Liberty so much they were in the penalty with 7:45 left in the quarter. The Liberty finished with 4 players in double figures (Stewart, Jones, Laney, and Ionescu). Jones made it tough for the Lynx all night as she finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds. The Lynx allowed 25 2nd chance points to the Liberty as they were too much on the block down the stretch.

The Lynx will be looking to rebound from this game on Tuesday as they play the Chicago Sky. Look for Napheesa Collier to showout in this game as she was held scoreless in the 4th quarter. The Lynx have been on a mission as of late and the chemistry looks amazing these days. As a Lynx fan it’s a good thing knowing that when this team is fully healthy they’re going to be a tough out for anyone in the playoffs.

SneakerReporter NFL: Saquon Barkley Gets Paid

Featured

Contracts Talks and Contract Agreements.

After months and months of waiting for a new deal for one of the best running backs in the NFL, Saquon and New York Giants came to an agreement on a 1 year $11 million dollar extension. Saquon Barkley was eyeing a contract in the range of $16 million, while the New York Giants were only willing to offer $13 million. The running back market continues to be a big question around the league with many star running backs that are leaving them feeling underpaid. The trend right now is to not pay the running backs. Saquon was willing to holdout and forgo the 2023 NFL season until he could find a contract that is around what he was seeking. By holding out it would’ve shown his true value to the New York Giants, but by doing so he knew it would hurt his team and teammates, as he is the center piece to the Giants offense.

Saquon’s Health.

The former No. 2 pick has been the team’s identity when healthy since they moved on from former quarterback Eli Manning. Injuries have been the big questions for most of Saquon’s career, as a knee and ankle injury kept him out of 21 games from 2019 through 2021. The big questions for the Giants is do they pay the man that when is healthy is one of the most valuable offensive weapons in the league or do they move on and look for either an up and coming back that is a free agent or a running back that the could draft and mold into what they’re looking for.

Team Development.

The New York Giants are looking to make the next step in the NFC East as they finished 12-5 last season and as the second place team in that division. The Giants will need all hands on deck as the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys are progressing faster than projected. As the Eagles went to the Super Bowl last season, and look to go back there again this year. Behind a healthy Saquon the league is on watch for what this team can do as Daniel Jones looks to continue to show that he can belongs in this league with his dual threat build. The new pieces that the Giants signed this off season and picked in the draft should take a giant load off Saquon’s hand and help him stay healthy this season and be a top running back in the league this year.
