The Turkey international only joined the Bundesliga club from Nordsjaelland back in 2016, but after making just 12 appearances in the league last season is being allowed to move on. Goal can confirm that there is an agreement between Inter and Dortmund, and between Mor and the Serie A club, with all parties now awaiting the final green light from Suning Holdings Group, the Nerazzurri’s owners. Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy reports that the deal will be an initial loan agreement, with €15 million purchase obligation in summer 2018....

But the race right now is for survival, and there are nine drivers with their seasons on the line this weekend at Dover International Speedway. The first elimination race of the Chase will cut the field to 12, with four drivers being eliminated. Nine of the 16 drivers are within 12 points of each other and any of them could wind up on the outside looking in. Here’s a look at the Chase standings after two races and what each driver must do to survive....

Take a step back and all the easy Texas cordiality might have seemed inappropriate to the serious business at hand: dispensing with thousands of nuclear bombs the United States and Russia are each ready to unleash on the other at a few minutes’ notice. But at the Texas summit, informality was more than a mood–it was a key U.S. strategy. Both leaders agreed to cut the number of warheads by two thirds, a deal similar in scope to the reductions former presidents Bush Sr....

It would be hard to surpass Mengistu’s excesses. In one hideous experiment with collectivization, he relocated some 700,000 peasants-aggravating the famine of 1984 that claimed up to a million lives. He used more than $10 billion in Soviet military aid to put down uprisings among his own people: Eritreans, Tigrayans and Oromos. By conscripting children as young as 12 and committing up to 60 percent of the economy to defense, he built the largest army in Black Africa while turning his country into one of the poorest in the world....

Based on tests dating to 2016, 47 deputies with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office were alerted on Friday that they would, for the time being, be stripped of certain law enforcement duties. That includes their authority to make arrests and wield firearms, KTVU News reported after receiving a copy of the letter sent to deputies. The affected deputies, who were found to have scored a “D. Not Suited” on the evaluation, constitute a little less than 5 percent of the office’s 1,000-member force....

“The best evidence shows the virus behind the pandemic was not made in a lab in China,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said in an exclusive interview with National Geographic published on Monday. “Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species.” He added that he doesn’t believe the alternate theory that someone discovered coronavirus in the wild, brought it to a lab and then it accidentally unleashed it on the public....

Our captain spot goes to Asdrubal Cabrera, thanks to his good career numbers off Verlander. If Kurt Suzuki is back from injury to start Game 6, he’s another great, cheap captain candidate with similarly solid numbers against Verlander to go with a Game 2 home run off JV. After that spot, we go with Strasburg and three Nationals’ bats, only filling our lineup with one Astros hitter, Yuli Gurriel....

Tier 1: Andrew Luck, Drew Brees, Cam Newton Coming off a monster performance in the wild-card round, Luck has the best matchup (and worst defense) of this trio. He's also the most likely to go into comeback mode. Tier 2: Philip Rivers, Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson Although the weather could be harsh in Denver, Rivers has the best matchup here in what could be a duel with Peyton Manning. It's a little concerning that he was relatively quiet in both meetings with the Broncos this season, though....

Draxler tried to force a move away from Wolfsburg during the close-season, but the Bundesliga side eventually refused to sell the 23-year-old just one year after bringing him in from Schalke. How could PSG line-up with Draxler? They are ready to cash in on the creative midfielder in January, though, and Draxler has suggested a transfer is imminent. “I am in talks with some clubs, but there is no final decision as of yet,” Draxler was quoted as saying by Bild....

Dominating with defense and a tenacious offensive attack, the Celtics beat the Nets 116-112 in Game 4 to sweep Brooklyn in their first-round matchup. It’s a shocking end for the Nets, who many believed to be a true championship contender. It may feel like forever ago but the Nets actually entered the season as preseason NBA title favorites. And in bowing out in four games, they became the first preseason title favorite to not win a single playoff game in at least 35 years....

MORE: Playoff injuries that ended title runs “We’re still very confident. If I sat here and told you our confidence level is the same without Steph, that’s a lie,” Green said after practice Tuesday, via The Associated Press. “I think our confidence level with Steph is through the roof. It’s beyond high. Without Steph, it’s still at the roof. We’re not losing much confidence. We still believe in ourselves. We still think it’s very possible for us to make a run....

After his team’s 100-86 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Green went off about the Warriors’ lack of intensity. “We couldn’t hit a shot — and that game was too nice,’’ Green told reporters. “It wasn’t the game that I expected to play in. It was too nice on both teams’ behalf, honestly. It was not the same that we’ve come to know with those guys.” The Warriors led 42-41 at halftime despite the Clippers missing 17 consecutive shots during one stretch....

Draymond Green earned a flagrant foul Sunday night after kicking Adams in the testicles. It certainly didn’t appear to be an accident.

Green kneed Adams on a layup attempt in Game 2, but that one was purely incidental. It’s a miracle Adams is still walking....

MORE: How Warriors’ signings bolster title defense Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green took to Twitter Sunday night while watching the 1998 NBA Finals between the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz, coming to the conclusion that the 2017 Warriors squad “would’ve beaten these Bulls by a dub.” The 1998 Bulls squad won 62 games en route to lifting the Larry O’Brien trophy, while the ‘96 squad won a then-record 72 games before going on to win the championship....
