#Torino #holds #Inter #Milan #Serie #title #race #open">Torino holds Inter Milan 2-2 to keep Serie A title race open Champions-elect Inter Milan was held to a 2-2 draw at Torino on Sunday, with the Serie A leader letting slip a two-goal lead and leaving the title race ticking over with four rounds left.
Inter moves to 79 points, 10 ahead of Napoli, which won 4-0 at Cremonese on Friday. AC Milan is three points off Napoli in third ahead of its home game against fourth-placed Juventus later on Sunday. Torino is 13th on 41 points.
Inter appeared to be cruising after Marcus Thuram put his side in front in the 23rd minute and Yann Bisseck doubled the lead 16 minutes after the break with another header but Torino clawed its way back into the game.
Giovanni Simeone pulled one back with 20 minutes remaining after a nicely crafted build-up and Nikola Vlasic equalised from the penalty spot nine minutes later.
The visitor created early chances with Manuel Akanji heading narrowly wide and Ange Yoan-Bonny’s shot forcing goalkeeper Alberto Paleari into a save before the opening goal.
Inter’s assist-man Federico Dimarco floated a delightful cross to the back post where Thuram rose unchallenged to squeeze his header past Paleari.
Dimarco was close to netting himself shortly after the break, Paleari palming his shot away, but the Inter wing back registered his 18th assist of the season when Bisseck got on the end of his corner to power a header in off the post.
Simeone started the comeback when he cleverly lifted the ball over onrushing ‘keeper Yann Sommer from Emirhan Ilkhan’s pass. The goal saw Torino come to life and its pressure paid off when Carlos Augusto’s handball gave it a penalty.
Vlasic made no mistake from the spot and the hosts then withstood a late siege by Inter, with Piotr Zielinski pulling a shot wide in added time, to earn the point which means it is mathematically safe from relegation.

#San #Antonio #Spurs #star #Wembanyama #cleared #return #concussion">San Antonio Spurs star Wembanyama cleared to return after concussion
San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was disappointed with how his return from a concussion was handled.
The Spurs announced about an hour before tipoff Sunday that Wembanyama could play in Game 4 of the team’s first-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers after clearing the league’s concussion protocol. He went on to score 27 points with 11 rebounds and seven blocks in San Antonio’s 114-93 win.
Wembanyama, the league’s first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year, was ruled out of Game 3 on Friday in Portland because of the concussion. The Spurs won 120-108.
“The way the situation was handled was very disappointing,” Wembanyama said Sunday. He would not elaborate, but emphasised that he was not referring to San Antonio’s medical staff.
“I’m not saying that not playing was a good or bad decision. It was a decision, I’m not saying it was good or bad,” he said. “But the way the situation was handled (was)very disappointing.”
Wembanyama sustained the concussion in the first half of Tuesday’s 106-103 loss to the Blazers in San Antonio and did not return to the game. He travelled to Portland while continuing to complete the steps mandated by the league’s concussion protocol.
“I won’t get into details; I don’t want it to become a distraction. Ask me again after the end of the season,” Wembanyama said.
A versatile 7-foot-4 forward from France, Wembanyama averages 25 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and a league-best 3.1 blocks per game this season.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said before tipoff Sunday that the team was prepared to play with or without Wembanyama, who was listed as questionable going into the game.
“Fortunately, we have a little experience preparing for a variety of lineups and rotations,” Johnson said. “I think the guys have really empowered us as a staff, I’d say, throughout the season, of being able to have a brand and identity regardless of availability.”
With Sunday’s win, the Spurs took a 3-1 lead in the first-round series, which shifts to Game 5 in San Antonio on Sunday.
Luke Kornet got the Game 3 start against the Trail Blazers in Wembanyama’s absence, finishing with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Players must clear a series of benchmarks before they are allowed to play under the concussion protocol. The results are compared to baseline neurological evaluations players take at the start of the season.
