Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:50:39 GMT

The Los Angeles Clippers are poised to sign guard Joshua Primo to a two-way contract, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.Primo, 20, was drafted as the 12th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs, but was released from the team after only a single season following allegations that he exposed himself to multiple women.Among the women to come forward was Dr. Hillary Cauthen, the team's sports psychologist, who accused Primo of repeatedly exposing himself to her during therapy sessions. Those allegations led to Cauthen filing a lawsuit against Primo and the Spurs, alleging that the team did not do enough to protect her from the misconduct.That lawsuit was eventually settled out of court, according to the New York Times.

Kittens are in cages with dirty litter, unchanged water, old food and poop on their fur. Once we fostered a pair of kittens that were five days overdue on their needed medicine. We fostered them for a month and found them a nice home. We recently fostered a kitten and saved its life. When we picked it up, we were told it was eating on its own.

The city needs to hire professional management, more veterinarians and veterinary technicians. We will continue to foster to help kittens.Audrey SitterSan JoseEnfor...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Giants running back Saquon Barkley was limited in practice for the second straight day and his status for Monday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks remains uncertain because of a sprained right ankle.New York (1-2) practiced indoors on Friday because of heavy rain in the area.Barkley, who sustained a high ankle sprain in Week 2 against Arizona and sat out against San Francisco last week, did some straight-ahead running and jumped over thin rectangular pads in the portion of the workout open to the media. The No. 2 overall draft pick in 2018 did not speak to reporters for the second straight day.Coach Brian Daboll had said that Barkley’s workout on Thursday would give him an idea how much progress Barkley had made.“He did good,” Daboll said before Friday’s workout. “He’ll be out there again today. We’ll see where he’s at.”A player who seemingly did not make progress was left tackle Andrew Thomas, who has missed the last two games ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:50:39 GMT

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Supporters of a proposed ballot measure for congressional age limits in North Dakota are suing to be able to use out-of-state petition circulators to gather signatures.The initiative’s push comes amid age-related concerns for federal officeholders. U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California died Thursday at age 90 after facing health issues in recent months. Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 81, froze twice in front of reporters last summer. Joe Biden, who is the oldest U.S. president ever, is seeking reelection at age 80.A political scientist says the measure could be an effort to create a test case for the U.S. Supreme Court to see if the court would be willing to allow states to set congressional age limits on an individual basis.“I assume that’s their goal,” said Mark Jendrysik, professor of political science at the University of North Dakota.Jared Hendrix, who is leading the effort, said “the people deserve better,” citing a recent instance ...
