The forward netted 19 times for Lobi Stars this season, claiming the award for the first time and finishing one goal ahead of former MFM’s leading marksman Odey.

With this, Okpotu is now third leading scorer in a league season behind Enyimba’s Mfon Udoh (23 goals) and Kaduna United’s Jude Aneke (20 goals)....

What’s the difference between being exposed to anthrax and being infected by it? Being exposed means you came into contact with spores (that is, dormant bacteria with capsules around them). Spores can settle on your skin. They can reach your nasal passages through inhalation or if you touch an anthrax-laced finger to your nose. Being infected means the spores are multiplying in your body. The three types of anthrax exposure all come from the same bacterium (Bacillus anthracis), differing only in how they enter the body: in the cutaneous form, bacteria get in through a cut or an abrasion in the skin; in the inhalation form, spores are breathed in and reach the alveoli of the lungs; in the gastrointestinal form bacteria in contaminated meat reach the gut....

The newest trailer showcases the star of the game, Giancarlo Esposito’s Anton Castillo, board a ship in an effort to seek out his son Diego Castillo. He delivers a short but great monologue to the rebels, making a bold statement that there is no escape from Yara. While there’s still some ambiguity regarding how Far Cry 6 pans out ultimately, it seems that Anton might finally give some tough competition to Vaas....

Brown has also been caught in a bit of a pickle with regard to Lanning himself. The Steelers wideout said that he and Lanning had spoken about the incident and were on friendly terms. When asked about it, Lanning said the conversation never took place. The incident is at least a positive for Lanning, who was trying to make a tackle on Brown who had already made several Browns players miss....

The tour began in Liverpool, England, and stopped in Jakarta, Indonesia before the journalist tested positive in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The deal for the team’s parent company to purchase 80 percent of the network from The Walt Disney Co. values YES at $3.47 billion, nearly $500 million less than when 21st Century Fox acquired a majority stake in 2014. Mubadala Development Co., a United Arab Emirates’ sovereign wealth fund, is a minority investor along with The Blackstone Group, RedBird Capital, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and MSD Capital, which manages assets of Michael Dell and his family....

It’s no surprise that one of the better-known mobile charging accessory companies would continue iterating and making new products, but this time Anker is downsizing. Specifically, it has a new 511 (Nano 3) charger that’s comparably tiny—roughly the size of a USB-C to wall outlet adapter—but it’s more than just a plug, obviously. Aside from the apparent portability (plus the plug can fold in to save a bit more space), Anker claims the Nano 3 provides “optimum charging speeds” to just about any device (including some laptops), so long as they’re USB-C compatible....

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system malfunctions and attacks healthy tissues. With AS, the malfunctioning immune system attacks the spine, and with psoriasis, these attacks focus on skin cells. Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of autoimmune spondyloarthritis affecting the spine and leading to vertebrae fusing. The earliest signs of AS are pain and stiffness in the low back and hips. AS needs aggressive and ongoing treatment to prevent complications like joint and spinal damage, osteoporosis (progressive bone thinning), spinal fractures, heart disease, eye inflammation, and cauda equina syndrome (the compression of the spinal nerve roots, which can lead to incontinence or paralysis)....

There’s the “Greek Freak,” 20-year-old Giannis, who averaged 12.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game in his second season in the NBA. There’s older brother Thanasis, a 6-6 small forward who’s known as a slasher but hasn’t quite caught on with an NBA team yet and spent much of the 2014-15 season in the D-League.

So it may be premature to mention this, but hidden in the details of the league’s day-to-day business in recent months has been this fact: The groundwork is already being laid for another lockout. That is the consensus among league executives and prominent agents. But it is articulated particularly well by Charles Grantham, who worked for the union from 1978-95, serving as its executive director for the last seven of those years (he left a year before Billy Hunter, who was deposed last year amid scandal, took over)....

Yet, Carlo Ancelotti knew it was already time to start playing to the gallery. Asked what would be expected of fans at the next week’s return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid head coach Ancelotti replied: “They need to be ready because we’re going to fight for another magical night.” The seeds were already planted for Madridistas and Ancelotti happily turned the sprinklers on. His message was clear: it’s time for another Remontada - Real Madrid’s self-fulfilling mythology of the magical European comeback....

Set in a post-apocalypse Norway laid bare by a nuclear war, Vigor tasks its player characters, the Outlanders, with gathering loot, building shelter for themselves and fighting against each other in 8- to 12-player battle royale matches. Fans of the hardcore survival gameplay in DayZ will probably find something to like in Vigor, though the game’s audience has remained relatively limited due to only launching on the Xbox One last August....

The Tigers are coming off an 8-5 season, and are 23-16 since winning the SEC championship and advancing to the final BCS championship game in 2013. But Auburn is certainly one of the “it” teams heading into 2017, checking in at No. 10 in Sporting News’ Post-Spring Preseason Top 25, which is in line with several publications. MORE: Three questions for Auburn in 2017 “Outside we can’t control but I will tell you this,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said on Monday’s SEC teleconference....

Executive producer Mark Darrah spoke about the new choice system in Anthem by saying that “We are showing this to an audience that is not used to these kind of decisions and conversations. We wanted to keep it simpler, but we also don’t want to present you with any false choices.” BioWare is a company that’s known for its expansive worldbuilding and its detailed storytelling, but the “dialogue wheel” is perhaps the most iconic thing that the company has made a staple of its many titles over the years....

The full Anthem E3 demo takes players through one of the game’s Stronghold activities, a 4-player cooperative event akin to dungeons in MMOs and other cooperative multiplayer games. The demo starts with a brief tour through Anthem’s open world, including a look at the player’s “Strider.” The Strider is a mobile base of sorts for the Freelancer player character, and also a plot device to justify gameplay mechanics like fast travel and instantly starting missions and activities away from Fort Tarsis....

All pieces of the equation seemed to point to a Lakers win in New Orleans on Saturday night. Then, the game happened. MORE: Does Magic Johnson really know what he’s doing? Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday scored 27 points, dished out seven assists and snagged three steals to lead New Orleans to a 128-115 victory over Los Angeles.

Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, told DAZN’s Chris Mannix this week that the former unified heavyweight champion told him his “senses weren’t there” after taking a punch to the side of the head early in the fight. “He doesn’t remember anything, really, from the third round,” Hearn said in an extended interview about the fight that was posted Friday on DAZN’s YouTube channel. “In fact, he’s taken a little bit of positivity that he managed to go four rounds after that....

However, what he didn’t reveal until recently was the circumstances leading up to the fight with USADA. He dropped a bombshell on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, revealing that he’s set to sue USADA for what happened. Pettis said that when giving the urine test before UFC 241, the container for the urinary sample cut his right hand, preventing him from fighting to his true potential (H/T MMAFighting): He revealed that coach Duke Roufus pleaded with him to pull out of the fight....
