Knicks’ Randle misses Game 1 vs Heat with sprained ankle

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:38 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Knicks All-Star forward Julius Randle missed Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat on Sunday because of a sprained left ankle.Randle was originally hurt late in the regular season, missing the final five games, before returning for the first round against Cleveland. But he was hurt again in the clinching Game 5 and missed the second half.Randle had done little since the Knicks returned to practice. He went through a workout Sunday morning at Madison Square Garden and coach Tom Thibodeau said he was a game-time decision, but the Knicks ruled him out about 45 minutes before tipoff.Quentin Grimes is back after missing the last two games with a bruised shoulder, but the Knicks kept Josh Hart in the starting lineup at guard. Obi Toppin started in place of Randle.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports Source

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:38 GMT

NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Callum Wilson came off the bench to score twice as Newcastle fought back to strengthen its Champions League pursuit and edge last-place Southampton toward the second tier with a 3-1 win in the Premier League on Sunday.Left out of Eddie Howe’s starting lineup despite scoring twice at Everton on Thursday, the England striker produced the perfect response after his halftime introduction, canceling out Stuart Armstrong’s first-half opener and then helping himself to a second in the 81st after Theo Walcott’s own-goal had given the Magpies the lead.Wilson’s 14th and 15th goals of the season contributed to a fourth win of the campaign over the Saints and an eighth in nine league outings. It kept third-place Newcastle ahead of Manchester United by two points in the race for the top four. Newcastle has played one game more than United.The visitors competed well before the break but were eventually overwhelmed and remain in dire trouble with games running out fast.__...

Haitian family struggles to find a place to stay in Boston, as asylum-seekers sleep in a hospital lobby

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:38 GMT

(CNN) — Fleeing what she called the “dire condition” of life in Haiti, Dieuvena came to the US, hoping “she can at least get on her feet, find a job, and take care of her family.”For Dieuvena, 28, that family includes her husband Banel, 28, and their son Mateo Sebastien, 4. She also has a 10-year-old daughter who lives in the Dominican Republic with the child’s father.As she only speaks Haitian Creole and limited Spanish, Dieuvena spoke with CNN through Dr. Geralde Gabeau, the executive director for the Immigrant Family Services Institute. She asked to be referred to only by her first name, fearing she might be penalized by the US immigration system.Passing from Haiti through Central America, the family arrived at the US-Mexico border where they attended a CBP One appointment, the process through which US Customs and Border Protection grants humanitarian parole. The family of three attended the appointment as a group with five other Hait...

Chris Perkins: How did Dolphins fare in the draft compared to AFC East foes? Let’s take a look

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:38 GMT

The AFC East got more competitive because of the NFL draft, an event which saw every team in the division acquire talented players that could contribute to a playoff berth and, in one or two cases, perhaps a playoff run.The grades are good for the four AFC East teams — the Dolphins, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots. They’re all bunched fairly close to a grade of ‘B,’ meaning no one was especially impressive, but everyone was at least a bit above average.A quick pause for the official disclaimer: Keep in mind it usually takes three years to fully analyze a draft class and these are first-impression grades.Now, back to business.Coincidentally, three of the four AFC East teams selected a defensive player with their top pick, and specifically a defensive player who largely helps defend against the pass — two cornerbacks and an edge rusher. In a division that’s pretty quarterback-heavy among the Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa, the ...

Dolphins undeterred by first-round forfeiture; Grier, McDaniel talk CB, RB situation, Taylor Lewan and more

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:38 GMT

The Miami Dolphins only had four picks in a second consecutive draft. The 2023 installment reminded folks about the organization’s wrongdoing to again own so few — and not have a selection at the top.Television coverage of the draft and local headlines this past week rehashed why there were just 31 picks in the first round and why the Dolphins were without one. Miami was stripped of its first-round pick, along with a 2024 third-rounder, due to tampering violations when the franchise pursued quarterback Tom Brady and coach Sean Payton.Dolphins’ decision-makers, though, made sure to put the punitive penalty, especially compared to past incidents of tampering across the league, behind them as soon as it came down from the league roughly nine months ago in early August.“For us, it was business as usual,” Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Saturday night. “You’re always going to have to deal with adversity in life, and when that happened, ...

Bruins notebook: Looks like Jeremy Swayman will get the net for Game 7

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:09:38 GMT

Bruins coach Jim Montgomery would not say who would start in net for Sunday’s Game 7 after the morning skate Warrior Ice Arena, nor would he say what lineup changes he was going to employ.But there were clues.Jeremy Swayman was the first goalie off the ice, indicating that he’d get his first start of this post-season in the do-or-die game while both Nick Foligno and Connor Clifton were out on the ice late after all the regulars were gone, giving the indication that they’d be out and Trent Frederic and Matt Grzelcyk would be back in.Whatever decision Montgomery had to make at this precarious stage of the Bruins’ season, it was going to be a difficult one.“If you make a change at any position, it’s really hard, because we have a group that’s given everything to the team all year,” said Montgomery after the very brief morning skate. “And everyone wants to play in a Game 7. When you’re a kid growing up and you love hockey, whether you’re p...
