The San Jose Sharks announced they have recalled defenseman Luca Cagnoni from their AHL affiliate San Jose Barracuda. 

Cagnoni is second among defensemen and third among rookies in AHL scoring with 13 goals and 47 points in 56 games this season. 

A fourth round pick of the Sharks in 2023, Cagnoni's offensive ability has immediately carried over to the pro game and his has been dynamic on the back-end for the Barracuda. 

The Burnaby, B.C., native led the WHL in assists and points by the defensemen last season when he put up 72 assists and 90 points in 65 games for the Portland Winterhawks.  

We listed Cagnoni as one of the AHL defensemen who deserved a call-up in an article last month.

Listed at just 5'9 and 180 pounds, it will be interesting to see how Cagnoni handles the defensive side of the NHL game. With the Sharks seemingly destined for a bottom-three finish this is a great opportunity for Cagnoni to gain NHL experience with less pressure.

Cooper Flagg has seized the spotlight all year. He’s the biggest star heading into March Madness

A hobbled Cooper Flagg was determined to celebrate top-ranked Duke's latest Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament title by snipping a piece of the net, even after missing two straight games. As Flagg descended with keepsake in hand, he bypassed the ladder's lowest step and touched down on that same left foot, offering a momentary awkward gait. Sure, it was a small — and maybe a little nervously tense — moment, but it captured a slice of the gaze that has been locked on Flagg all season.

Kings star Sabonis out at least 10 days with ankle sprain

Kings star Sabonis out at least 10 days with ankle sprain originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Once again, the Kings will be without Domantas Sabonis for an extended period.

Sacramento’s star big man is listed as out for the team’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday at Golden 1 Center, per the latest NBA injury report, with a moderate right ankle sprain — and will be out at least 10 days total, the Kings announced Tuesday night. ESPN’s Shams Charania was first to report Sabonis will be out that long.

Sabonis sustained the injury in the third quarter of the Kings’ 132-122 win over the Memphis Grizzles on Monday, and it was evident as he hobbled to the locker room that the incident could be serious.

Before the ankle injury, Sabonis was playing in his second game back after missing six contests with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Disaster struck again Monday when Sabonis was driving to the rim and awkwardly rolled his right ankle as he went for the layup.

In 57 games during the 2024-25 NBA season so far, Sabonis is averaging a double-double with 19.1 points, 14.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists. Sabonis could return as soon as March 29 against the Magic in Orlando and would miss six games across the 10-day span.

The Kings went on to beat the Grizzlies without Sabonis and snap a four-game losing streak, and they’ll have to keep things rolling without him at home Wednesday night against the NBA-leading Cavaliers, as well as the foreseeable future.
