Striker Chido Obi will miss Manchester United's game against Real Sociedad because he's ineligible to play in the UEFA Europa League.

The 17-year-old impressed after coming on as a substitute during United's FA Cup defeat to Fulham on Sunday.

It was just his third senior appearance after moving from Arsenal in October.

His performance against Fulham prompted questions to head coach Ruben Amorim about whether he is close to making his first start in place of under-fire forward Rasmus Højlund, who hasn't scored since December.

However, Chido Obi won't be able to face Real Sociedad in the Europa League round-of-16 first leg on Thursday because he is ineligible to play in the competition.

United added January signings Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven to their Europa League squad ahead of the knockout rounds, which begin with the trip to Spain this week.

Chido Obi was overlooked, a source has told ESPN, because he was not considered a first-team player at the time.

A number of injuries to senior players, including Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo, have seen the teenager fast-tracked into Amorim's squad.

Chido Obi does not qualify for a place on the B list -- usually reserved for young players -- because, in line with UEFA's rules, players must have been at the club for a minimum of two years.

Being without the Denmark youth international is another blow for Amorim, who only named seven substitutes against Fulham instead of the permitted nine.

United are already sweating on the fitness of Harry Maguire after he had to be substituted against Fulham with a muscle problem.

The England defender is due to undergo a scan on Monday to assess the severity of the problem.

DURHAM, N.C. -- Cooper Flagg insisted he's "living in the present" and wouldn't speculate on whether he'd just played his final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, but as Duke wrapped its home slate Monday with an emphatic 93-60 win over Wake Forest, the projected No. 1 pick in the NBA draft admitted there were still a lot emotions as he left the court to chants of "One more year!" from the crowd.

"I was just playing with a lot of emotion and a lot of fire," Flagg said.

If it was his final home game in a Duke uniform, he leaves on a high note. Flagg finished with 28 points on 10-of-16 shooting, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.

Flagg lamented Duke's lackluster performance in a January game at Wake Forest, suggesting revenge was among his motivations Monday, but he was still peppered with questions about his future after the win. His coach, Jon Scheyer, said he took note of the moment, too.

Flagg left the court with the rest of the starters at the 2:21 mark in the second half with the Blue Devils up 40, an admittedly humble ending to an electric season on Duke's home court, Scheyer said.

"I just hope everybody recognizes, if we were in more close games, his numbers would be like this a lot," Scheyer said. "He's so unselfish. I wanted to put him back in just for people to be able to recognize him and what he's done. He plays so hard, he's competitive, he's a great teammate, and obviously his ability is special."

For Duke, the dominant win wrapped a perfect 17-0 season at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and the victory was the Blue Devils' fourth straight by at least 30 points.

Flagg said the performance was indicative of a team "playing at a really high level," but he emphasized that the job was far from over.

Still, Monday was a time for reflection -- even if Flagg wasn't ready to admit he'd played his last game inside Duke's historic arena. He recalled his coast-to-coast dunk against Pitt ("a surreal moment," he said) as his personal best memory from his season here, but befitting a player lauded for his selflessness on the court, pointed to teammate Sion James' dunk against NC State as the high point.

"The feeling I had -- the crowd, it was the loudest it's been all year," Flagg said. "I was back on defense, and I could almost feel the building shaking."

Whether that feeling would be enough to lure Flagg back for one more year, as the crowd implored Monday, remains a dubious proposition given his NBA draft stock. But Flagg said the experience of this season at Duke has exceeded his expectations, and leaving Cameron for potentially the last time was another memory worth cherishing.

"This is the best place in college basketball, for sure," Flagg said. "I've loved every single minute of being here. It's been an amazing year."

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold is unlikely to be franchise-tagged ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Minnesota still is interested in working to re-sign Darnold, but it is likely to be without any tag, the sources said.

Darnold, 27, blossomed in the Vikings' scheme last season, with coach Kevin O'Connell's careful guidance, leading the team to 14 wins after winning a total of 21 games in his previous six seasons. He ranked fifth in the NFL in passing yards (4,319) and touchdown passes (35) while earning his first career Pro Bowl invitation.

Darnold, however, appeared to hit his ceiling at the end of the season. His final two starts were his worst, as he threw a combined 23 off-target throws and took 11 sacks as the Vikings lost games to the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams (in the playoffs) by a combined score of 58-18.

The Vikings signed Darnold in 2024 as insurance for their plan to draft their quarterback of the future. Darnold's primary job was to give the team an option good enough that they would not be forced to play that quarterback, who turned out to be J.J. McCarthy, until he was ready.

Darnold, however, had a strong training camp and was in line to be the Vikings' Week 1 starter even before McCarthy suffered a season-ending torn meniscus in his right knee during the preseason opener.

The No. 3 overall pick of the 2018 draft, Darnold spent three seasons with the New York Jets, two with the Carolina Panthers and one as a backup with the San Francisco 49ers before signing with the Vikings in what was widely viewed as his final opportunity to prove he could be an NFL starter.

He has passed for 16,383 yards with 98 touchdowns and 68 interceptions in seven NFL seasons.

NEW YORK -- Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Monday for public criticism of officials following his team's 133-129 overtime win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

Jerome was upset that the teams were called for a combined 53 fouls and shot 70 free throws Sunday, which included 35 for each team. The average NBA game has fewer than 40 fouls called.

"I thought the refs were really bad tonight, especially Natalie (Sago), she was really bad," Jerome said. "Stuff like that happens. They kind of lose control of the game, and you just got to keep your head. I thought that first half was ridiculous. Third quarter was horrendous.

"You just got to keep your head and keep playing."

Jerome finished with 25 points, six assists and a career-high six steals. He also picked up a technical foul for arguing with officials.

Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson agreed that the game had little flow because of all the whistles.

"The game was so choppy," Atkinson said. "I'll have to go back and look at the film. We have great referees in this league. I just thought it wasn't a great spectacle for the fans or for the media, or for us as coaches. It would just seem like it was constant stoppage. I'll just leave it at that."

DALLAS -- The Mavericks revealed on Monday that they are raising season-ticket prices for next season, just weeks after dealing star Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Mavericks said season tickets will go up by an average of 8.61% next season and the increase is due to "ongoing investments in the team and fan engagement."

The Mavs have dealt with widespread fan discontent since last month's trade that sent the popular Doncic to the Lakers in exchange for a package that includes Anthony Davis, the talented but often injured 10-time All-Star.

Davis scored 26 points in his Mavericks debut on Feb. 8, but left the game late with a groin injury and hasn't played since.

Meanwhile, Doncic has thrived with the Lakers, immediately reviving their title hopes. The five-time All-Star led the Mavs to the NBA Finals last season, where they lost to the Boston Celtics.

The Mavericks say that despite the price adjustments, full-season ticket holders will continue to save 15% to 23% compared to projected secondary market prices.

Season-ticket costs for the Club Access Level, which includes premium seats and floor-area seating, will rise more than 10%, and some terrace-level seats are going up from $20 to $24 per game.

The team says that roughly 4,200 seats per game are still below $40.
