Catch up on the latest sports news, from Arsenal's title hopes to injuries in the NBA and boxing victories.

The world of sports has seen its fair share of excitement and setbacks in recent days. From the highs of title victories to the lows of injuries and defeats, here's a roundup of the latest news from various sports.

In the NBA, the Phoenix Suns have been dealt a blow with the news that guard Dillon Brooks has suffered a broken left hand. According to sources, Brooks is expected to miss an extended period of time, which could impact the Suns' chances in the league. (Source: ESPN)

Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Arsenal's title hopes are still alive, but the team is facing increased pressure after a recent slump in form. Manager Mikel Arteta has told his players to "deal with the noise" or join another club, as they bid to end their 22-year wait for a league title. The Gunners are currently two points clear at the top of the league, but Manchester City are closing in after a tense victory against Newcastle United. (Source: BBC)

Manchester City's win against Newcastle was thanks in part to a double from O'Reilly, who helped his team move to within two points of the league leaders. The match was a tense affair, with City eventually emerging victorious. (Source: BBC)

In other football news, Arsenal will face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final, adding to the pressure on the Gunners to perform. Arteta's team has come in for criticism after squandering a 2-0 lead against bottom side Wolves, conceding a 94th-minute equaliser. (Source: BBC)

In the world of boxing, Leigh Wood took a wide unanimous decision victory over Josh Warrington in front of his hometown supporters at the Nottingham Arena. The win marked a significant milestone for Wood, who becomes a two-weight champion. (Source: BBC)

Finally, in the world of curling, Team GB had to settle for men's curling silver after losing to Canada in a tense gold medal match. The team's defeat was a disappointment, but they can still take pride in their achievement. (Source: Sky Sports)

As the sports world continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the pressure to perform is always on. Whether it's dealing with injuries, criticism, or the pressure of a title chase, athletes and teams must be able to adapt and overcome. For now, fans can look forward to more exciting matches and competitions in the days and weeks to come.

In the words of Mikel Arteta, "It's not part of my vocabulary" to use the word "bottlers" to describe his team. Instead, he's focused on the task at hand: winning the league title. With the Gunners facing a crucial match against Tottenham on Sunday, the pressure is on. Can they deliver? Only time will tell.
