Timberwolves need Anthony Edwards to be a two-way standout for duration of postseason run

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:10:18 GMT

Anthony Edwards slumped back into his locker room chair after 38 minutes of fury Sunday against New Orleans.On a day in which he went just 8 for 21 shooting from the field, Edwards still managed to be the game’s most impactful player. He grabbed 13 rebounds, including crashing in for an offensive putback to put the team up by one with 3 minutes, 38 seconds to play.Fourteen seconds later, he came up with the most important of his four steals, picking Brandon Ingram’s pocket to start a fast-break opportunity that led to a pair of Taurean Prince free throws to extend that Wolves’ lead to three points.The Pelicans chipped away from there, and were set to tie the score with 1:08 to play, as CJ McCollum dashed uninhibited toward the rim. But while Edwards was late to rotate, once he saw McCollum elevate for a dunk attempt, he set his mind to blocking the shot. And Edwards’ fourth blocked shot of the day was a monstrous denial. The 21-year-old guard finished off an ...

Timberwolves suspend Rudy Gobert for Tuesday’s play-in game versus Lakers

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:10:18 GMT

The Timberwolves will be without two of their best defenders when they play in Los Angeles on Tuesday in their first play-in game against the Lakers.Along with missing Jaden McDaniels after the wing broke his hand punching a wall Sunday, Minnesota also will be sans Rudy Gobert. The team announced Monday it has suspended Gobert for the Lakers game following his altercation with teammate Kyle Anderson.Gobert took a shot at Anderson on the bench during a timeout during a heated verbal debate, and the two reportedly went at it again in the locker room at halftime. At that point, the Wolves sent Gobert home for the day before going on to rally past the Pelicans in its regular-season finale.After the game, players — including Anderson — discussed moving past the incident and simply wanting to win games. While Minnesota played better without the center, who currently is battling back spasms, in the second half Sunday, the numbers say it is a better team when Gobert is on the floor.There ar...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:10:18 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- More than twenty years ago, the FDA approved a drug called Mifepristone as part of a two drug regimen to end an early pregnancy. A group of physicians filed a lawsuit in November claiming the FDA improperly approved the drug and a federal judge in Texas agreed, suspending Mifepristone beginning Friday. The order was met with a dueling lawsuit out of Washington state to ensure the abortion pill remains accessible. Legislation could expand abortion pill providers The lawsuit coming out of Texas tells the FDA to go back to the drawing board and gives them a week to appeal the order. "This is completely unprecedented, and yet Texas has come up with this ruling that we are now taking it to the Court of Appeals and we really don’t know what is coming next," said Chelly Hegan, President and CEO of Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood. Hegan said mifepristone has proven to be safe and effective, but Compass Care Care CEO, Jim Harden, disagrees, "To say that this drug i...

New budget extender signed as negotiations continue

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:10:18 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)-- The New State Budget was originally due April 1st. A new budget extender has been passed and signed by Governor Hochul. This had to be done by Noon on Monday in order for state workers to continue to get paid. The Comptroller’s office said it assumes there will not be a delay in payroll at this point. The new budget extender does not have policy in it, something the governor told me Capitol Correspondent Jamie DeLine on Saturday would be the case.When asked if she knew a time timeframe in which the budget would be finalized, Hochul said. "We’re looking at another extender to give us some more time because even when a decision is made, we’ve all come together— it will take a number of days after that because it takes five hours to debate each of the bills, there might be seven bills. There is still a timeframe even when there is an agreement. So it’s going to take a little while, but I feel confident that we are making progress, so that is a good thing.The gov...
