Spoelstra: No need to penalize Ball any further
Erik Spoelstra supports no further penalties for LaMelo Ball after flagrant foul.
Celtic defender Maik Nawrocki is attracting interest from several Bundesliga clubs following a strong performance during his loan in Germany. His impressive form has made him a notable target for these teams.

The Polish centre-back has impressed with Hannover 96 in the second tier, where he has become an influential figure.
The German side holds an option to sign him permanently at the end of the season, though that move is believed to hinge on their chances of earning promotion.
According to credible German outlet Bild, interest from top-flight sides in Germany is now said to be growing, potentially complicating Hannover’s hopes of keeping the 25-year-old beyond the current campaign.

Nawrocki has also been dealt a blow after sustaining a muscle injury in last weekend’s game against Darmstadt, with the issue expected to keep him sidelined for around two weeks.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, the Hoops defender has previously stated he would be open to staying in Germany, while also leaving the possibility of returning to Celtic on the table.
He said: “There are several options for me at the end of the season. I could stay here, go back to Celtic or maybe go somewhere completely different.”
“This loan move has worked out very well for me. It was important that I played regularly again after two years of hardly playing. The way we play is also good for me.”
Meanwhile, reports in Spain indicate that Luis Palma has emerged as a potential target for Sevilla, who are weighing up a move that could be either a loan deal or a permanent transfer in the summer.
However, any approach may hinge on Sevilla’s league status next season, with the club currently hovering just above the relegation places in La Liga.
Palma’s long-term prospects at Celtic appear uncertain, having already spent time away from the club on two loan spells, including a stint in Greece with Olympiacos last season.
Lech Poznań manager Niels Frederiksen recently confirmed that a decision regarding the Hoops winger’s future is expected very soon.
