Arsenal are top of the Premier League and Champions League tables after what has been an impressive start to the campaign.

Ebere Eze and Declan Rice did not feature, afforded a full rest, while Bukayo Saka started the game on the bench.

It's what they pay me to do, so I was gonna do whatever it takes to be out there."

Despite laboring on an injured right ankle, Steph Curry still found a way to score 34 points and rise another spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list during Tuesday's game in Orlando.

His father, Dell Curry, played with Carter for three seasons in Toronto at the end of his career.

Coach Billy Donovan said before Monday's game that Giddey is considered day-to-day, but he didn't expect the injury to linger beyond the next few days.
