Basketball: Clippers and Hartenstein win sixth NBA game in a row

The Clippers won against the Miami Heat on Thursday evening (local time) after an exciting final phase with 112: 109.

American Football: NFL star Beckham goes to the Rams
Six days after being kicked out of the Cleveland Browns, football superstar Odell Beckham Jr. has found a new employer. The 29-year-old wide receiver reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Rams, who have won seven of their nine season games in the NFL. “OBJ” can be used for his new team on Sunday in San Francisco.
Beckham had never found his form after moving from the New York Giants to the Browns, after two years that were unsatisfactory for all sides, Cleveland released the Giants’ first round pick from the 2014 draft. Beckham is under contract in Los Angeles until the end of the season.
American football: Newton returns to the Panthers
Quarterback Cam Newton returns to the city of his greatest successes. The 32-year-old, once the most valuable player (MVP) in the football professional league NFL, is now back on for the Carolina Panthers, which he led to the Super Bowl in 2016. The Panthers announced on Thursday.
Newton, who failed to succeed superstar Tom Brady with the New England Patriots, is said to represent playmaker Sam Darnold. The regular quarterback is out for at least four weeks with a shoulder injury.
Ten years ago, the Panthers brought Newton into the NFL as the number one pick. In nine years he worked for Carolina and set several records for the franchise. In Super Bowl 50, the Panthers lost to the Denver Broncos with MVP Newton in 2016.
Ice hockey: Next Draisaitl gala in the NHL

The two youngsters Tim Stützle and Moritz Seider also suffered their next defeats on Friday night. Stützle lost 2-0 to the Los Angeles Kings with the Ottawa Senators and went off the ice for the sixth time in a row, while Seider lost 2-0 to Washington Capitals, together with oldie Thomas Greiss and his Detroit Red Wings.
