Heat preparing for all scenarios with Jimmy Butler (ankle) questionable for Game 2

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:45:53 GMT

Erik Spoelstra looks tired. Pink eyes, body hunched.It’s less than 24 hours after his Miami Heat stole Game 1 at Madison Square Garden with a 108-101 victory over the Knicks on Sunday. Forty-three minutes into the victory, Spoelstra’s best player, Jimmy Butler, came up limping after turning his ankle on a drive to the rim.Butler played through the pain, limping up and down the court in intermittent spurts. The limp grew more significant in the locker room postgame, and by the time the star forward began to get dressed, his ankle had swollen to the size of a baseball. His teammate, Kyle Lowry, joked Butler went down with the injury as if he’d been shot.The Heat star responded as a trainer taped his ankle: He hadn’t turned it this bad in quite some time.Butler’s status remains uncertain for Game 2, a must-win for a Knicks team that wants to retain some semblance of home-court advantage this series, and make no mistake: he is the engine that gives the eigh...

Anna Wintour defends honoring Karl Lagerfeld at 2023 Met Gala, despite controversial remarks

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:45:53 GMT

By Karu F. Daniels, New York Daily NewsWhen it comes to this year’s Met Gala, Anna Wintour prefers to focus more on the art than the artist.The longtime Vogue magazine editor said that despite Karl Lagerfeld’s controversial commentary, his work deserves to be honored at the annual event she’s presided over since 1995.The theme for this year’s star-studded fete, which benefits the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute, pays tribute to the late German designer, who died in 2019 at 85.“Karl was provocative, and he was full of paradoxes,” Wintour told Gayle King on CBS Mornings Monday. “And I think sometimes he would say things … to shock, and not necessarily things that he believed in.”English magazine editor Anna Wintour and Swiss tennis player Roger Federer, look at items of Karl Lagerfeld on display during the press preview of The Costume Institute’s exhibition titled Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 1, 2023. ...

Mets edged by Braves in Game 1 of doubleheader

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:45:53 GMT

Pitching help is on the way for the Mets, but it can’t come soon enough.Calling up Denyi Reyes to make a start was always a gamble. There have always been questions about whether or not his stuff could play at the big league level and the Mets thought he possessed the traits to be able to start.Reyes (0-1) was used as an opener Monday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves and he put the Mets in a hole right away. The Mets were nearly able to overcome it, coming within one run of tying the game in the sixth inning. But Sean Murphy hit his second home run of the game in the seventh inning off right-hander Jeff Brigham to doom the Mets in a 9-8 loss at Citi Field.Weather postponements left the Mets’ bullpen in a good spot and they were able to lean on Stephen Nogosek, who was activated from the injured list before the game, to pitch the Mets back into the game after Reyes gave up five earned runs over the first and second innings. He recorded only t...

Ticker: Another sign of the high price of housing; Galvin levies $2.5M fine in securities case

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:45:53 GMT

The average mortgage payment being offered to buyers in Massachusetts is the third highest in the nation, according to data compiled by LendingTree.The analysis looked at mortgage offers on the company’s platform across all fifty states. The national average came in at $2,317. The average in Massachusetts was $3,021, behind only Hawaii and California at $3,696, and $3,399 respectively.“Unfortunately even as the housing market cools and prices fall in some areas, mortgage payments are likely to remain steep for most new buyers, at least compared to where they were over the pandemic,” LendingTree’s Senior Economist and report author, Jacob Channel.  “This is because mortgage rates are poised to remain relatively high for some time while prices aren’t likely to drop drastically in most parts of the country.”Galvin levies $2.5M fine in securities caseA Missouri broker-dealer will be required to pay a $2.5 million fine and more than $700,000 in restitution after allegedly fai...

Florida was the most prized swing state for decades. That won’t be true in 2024

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:45:53 GMT

For decades, Florida was an essential element of every candidate’s strategy for winning the presidency.Its status as a swing state — with victory within reach for either party — and the enormous trove of electoral votes for the winner often made it the nation’s most hotly contested election battleground.Candidates, for whom time is their most valuable commodity, lavished attention on Florida. Celebrity surrogates poured in to court pockets of voters from the state’s diverse communities. And enormous sums of money were spent on TV ads and field organizers.In 2024, much of that time, energy and money will be traveling to other states — not Florida, whose voters aren’t likely to be sought after as they’ve been in most of the presidential elections since the ultra-close 2000 contest between George W. Bush and Al Gore.Florida just isn’t as competitive as it once was.“The path to the White House for Democrats now goes through Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — and not Florida,...

Is there a potential Triple Crown winner in this year’s Kentucky Derby field?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:45:53 GMT

John Clay | (TNS) Lexington Herald-LeaderLEXINGTON, Ky. — There have been four Triple Crown winners since Secretariat snapped a 25-year drought in 1973. Seattle Slew and Affirmed were back-to-back Triple Crown winners in 1977 and 1978, respectively. After a 37-year gap, American Pharoah won the Triple Crown in 2015, followed by Justify in 2018.During that nearly four decades without a Triple Crown winner, plenty of skeptics voiced the belief we would never see another Triple Crown winner.Claiborne Farm’s Seth Hancock, who led the $6 million breeding syndication of Secretariat in 1973, was not one of them.“Never got to that point,” Hancock said. “And since I lived it, the last part of the first gap between Citation and Secretariat, I always said, yeah, I know all about it.“And everybody said the races are too close and there’ll never be another one. I said not only will there be another one, there will be three or four in a 12- or 15-year span. Sure enough, we’ve had two of them and ...
