BATA, Equatorial Guinea - Ghana really needs Asamoah Gyan now. Ante Zizic Cavaliers Jersey .After a last-minute 2-1 loss to Senegal to open its African Cup of Nations, the four-time champion is under pressure to recover and make the quarterfinals in Equatorial Guinea.Next up is top-ranked African team Algeria on Friday, with Gyans availability for the second round of Group C games still uncertain after he was diagnosed with mild malaria last weekend and sat out the loss to Senegal.Ghana would happily welcome the return of its captain and lead striker for the Algerian test. Against Senegal, the Ghanaians looked fragile and were eventually overpowered by a bigger, stronger Senegalese team to lose to a stoppage-time winner in Mongomo.Gyan is a very important player for us. A leader, our captain, stand-in skipper Andre Ayew said.Although Algeria also started slowly and fell behind against South Africa, the last 20 minutes of its ultimately comfortable 3-1 win showed what Africas No. 1 team can do. Following a sluggish first hour, Algeria found its groove to completely dominate the South Africans in the closing stages at Mongomo Stadium.Algeria will be closely watched by the other contenders having arrived at this tournament with a big buildup following its impressive World Cup,One of those could be Senegal.The Senegalese were largely overlooked in the tough group as Algeria and Ghana took the attention. Thats swiftly changed after Senegal showed physicality and powerful forward play by striker Mame Biram Diouf to come from behind and beat Ghana, and it is now the favourite to beat South Africa.Its very simple, said Senegal goalkeeper and captain Bouna Coundoul. We know that we are capable of beating any team in this competition.South Africa has to pick itself up from perhaps the most demoralizing result for any of the four teams.Bafana Bafana led Algeria 1-0, but missed a penalty and a chance to double its lead, then conceded an own goal and two more late strikes to go down 3-1.Stressing about the penalty wont help anyone, said striker Tokelo Rantie, who missed the pivotal spot-kick to inspire Algerias comeback. I just need to be mentally strong. But I am very excited about the next game. That is my focus right now.South Africa has also lost central defender Rivaldo Coetzee for the Senegal game to a right knee injury, although defender Eric Mathoho and experienced midfielder Reneilwe Letsholonyane are back from suspension.

Patty Mills scored 15 points, Tim Duncan had 10 points and 11 rebounds in limited minutes, and San Antonio trailed for only 11 seconds late in the first quarter of a 103-90 victory over Portland on Wednesday night.PHILADELPHIA – Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis spoke to Florida Panthers boss Dale Tallon on Thursday morning about the prospects of trading up for the first overall pick in Fridays draft. "But at this point," Nonis said a few hours after the conversation, "I dont think theres a deal there for us." Despite interest in moving up the ladder of the first round – from where they currently stand at eighth overall – Nonis didnt believe the current price-tag fit the bill for his club, particularly if it meant sacrificing young talent. The cost was simply too high. "It is for us," Nonis said of the first overall pick. "It may not be for other teams. I know that Dale is serious about moving it – I think hes happy to keep it as well – but hes not going to give that pick away. "Theres been dialogue, but we havent made any traction and as it stands right now, I would expect that were going to stay at eight." Having hoarded a slew of promising building blocks in recent years (including Aleksander Barkov with the second overall selection in 2013) and with the draft lacking in a consensus, slam-dunk superstar, Tallon is inclined to give up the rights for the top spot. But hes labeled the price for the pick as including a top young player, one who can step right into the Panthers lineup, and perhaps a pick or something of similar value. "Somebody has to knock our socks off for us to make the move," Tallon told TSN recently. In a different draft, Nonis might be prepared to pay that price. He was second in command to Brian Burke at the time of the 2009 draft when Burke spoke openly and aggressively about his pursuit of the first overall pick in a draft that featured star John Tavares. "That price-tag is different than possibly moving up to take the player whos going to go [first] here," Nonis said. Tyrone Hill Jersey. "It doesnt mean that the player who goes [first] is not going to be a great player, but those price-tags are different and I think every team in the league would tell you that. Theres a number or a value that we place on moving up and it wouldnt include our top young players, no." Beyond Aaron Ekblad, theres a definite aura of unpredictability at the top of this draft, making the possibility of the Leafs landing a quality asset at eight all the more likely. Toronto has demonstrated a strong inclination toward selecting North American players in recent years, picking just seven Europeans since 2009 and none in the first round since 2006 when Jiri Tlusty was picked 13th overall. They may not be able to land the top centre theyve long desired with the eighth pick – Sam Bennett, Sam Reinhart and Leon Draisaitl all figure to be off the board – but theres potential to add front-line skill at wing, perhaps in the form of Nick Ritchie or Jake Virtanen (Nikolaj Ehlers and William Nylander are both intriguing, but neither seem to fit the current Toronto mold). "This [draft] may not have the superstar at the top, but I think most teams would agree theres some pretty good players in this draft that are going to be useful players on good teams," said Nonis. "Its important when youre picking at eight that you get one of those players." Back in 2008, with Cliff Fletcher minding the helm, Toronto moved up two spots in the draft to land Luke Schenn with the fifth overall pick, sending their first round selection (seventh overall) to the Islanders along with picks in the second and third round. The Leafs selected hulking centre Frederik Gauthier with their top selection a year ago (21st overall), adding Morgan Rielly to their young mix in 2012.
