Green, 32, a four-time All-Star, is entering his 11th season in the league, all with the Warriors. He’s a seven-time All-Defensive selection with career averages of 8.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists.

Green walks over to Poole and bumps him with his chest before Poole shoves Green. At that point, Green takes a swing with his right hand before both players go to the ground behind the basket while staff members move to break up the fracas.

Guardiola is also convinced that top scorer Erling Haaland will eventually suffer a dip in form. Haaland has 19 goals in 11 matches for City this season and has surpassed all expectations during his first two months at the club.

Another 20 billion riyals will be invested in mature industry partners who bring expertise to Savvy’s portfolio and 2 billion riyals will target industry disruptors «to grow early-stage games and esports companies.»

Certainly the idea of having up to seven academy graduates on a pitch during a Premier League game seemed far-fetched at best. Yet on Saturday, Southampton arrive at the Etihad Stadium having spent more than £40million on four of City’s kids in one summer.

The investments will include 70 billion riyals to take several minority stakes in companies that support Savvy’s game development agenda and 50 billion riyals to acquire «a leading game publisher to become a strategic development partner».

Mr Gotterson found the company guilty of a serious dereliction of its anti-money laundering responsibilities, deliberately misled the regulator and had poor corporate culture with a ‘one-eyed focus’ on profit at the expense of patrons.

«Savvy Games Group is one part of our ambitious strategy aiming to make Saudi Arabia the ultimate global hub for the games and esports sector by 2030,» Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said, according to SPA.

Mr Gotterson has made 12 recommendations to tighten controls in the state’s casino industry, including for venues to go cashless with patrons to use cards linked to their identification and set with loss limits before they start gambling.

That tech will also be made available to Google’s industry partners. Sony gave its own streaming service a headstart in 2015 by buying the patents of OnLive — an early game streaming service — shortly before the once-promising startup shut down.

And clearly worth paying for — Southampton also saw a £15m bid for striker Liam Delap rejected. Almost a third of a record-breaking transfer window, totalling revenues of around £170m, came from selling academy products. 

‘The Star does under the legislation have an opportunity, natural justice, to put forward a case about what should happen next so I don’t want to preempt that but it is open to government to cancel their license, to suspend their license,’ she said. 

Former acting chief executive Geoff Hogg admitted Star wasn’t fully up-front with the Queensland regulator when it changed a policy in order to conceal $55million in banned transactions from a Chinese bank.

She replied that she was ‘dealing with the report before us which deals with recommendations around casinos and there’s enough in this report to keep me busy, particularly with the finding of unsuitability. 

«A few years ago, we also launched a consumer gaming service, Stadia,» he said in the blog post. «And while Stadia’s approach to streaming games for consumers was built on a strong technology foundation, it hasn’t gained the traction with users that we expected so we’ve made the difficult decision to begin winding down our Stadia streaming service.»

The quartet — Gavin Bazunu, Sam Edozie, Romeo Lavia and Juan Larios — did not have a single top flight appearance between them but the quality emanating from Jason Wilcox’s youth set-up at City is such that they are increasingly being recognised as the gold standard. 

It has five independent subsidiaries, including esports arm EFG, as well as Nine66, which «is building an ecosystem for game developers and studios», and VOV company, which is building gaming and competition venues.
