Durant underwent surgery and is out indefnitely, with many players around the league sending their well wishes to him. Despite being on the opposing Finals team, Raptors star Kawhi Leonard offered Durant some advice on how to come back from such a huge injury. “We work so hard to get to this point and the game gets taken away from you, especially with leg injuries and things like that,” Leonard told reporters during a press conference Wednesday....

Typically, the 10-game benchmark is the perfect time to check in on how a player has gotten re-acclimated to the game. Leonard’s return to action, however, has been far from typical, with a number of deterrents impacting his availability. It’s one thing to focus on Leonard’s averages of 13.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, but it’s important to consider the context that Leonard has already missed 20 of LA’s first 30 games due to injuries and load management....

The show takes viewers on a tour of Musgraves’ beautifully decorated, fictional home—a dollhouse-like set where each room hosts a different color theme, song and celebrity guest. It’s inspired by classic television specials, Musgraves told Newsweek. “I kind of modeled it after the great Judy Garland Christmas specials and The Cher Show, things that we love like that,” she said. “But a very fresh, modern take on it.” Within the walls, Musgraves celebrates comedy, sadness and everything sparkly....

Kahne will drive a car entered in combination with Stewart, Leffler's girlfriend, Julianna Patterson, and former father-in-law, Bob East., in the Jan. 14-18 race at the Tulsa Expo Center in Oklahoma. Plans had been for Leffler and Patterson to co-own the car, and Leffler and East to build it together before Leffler's death in a June sprint car crash. East continued the project following the accident, and Patterson turned to Stewart for help after the three-time NASCAR champion broke his leg in his own sprint car accident last season....

If you were wondering what some of the products looked like, you’re in luck: This limited edition trailer (embedded conveniently for you) shows the masks in use and some extra weapons, leading me to believe the Doggie Bag pack will contain a number of new maps. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZoeavUcUE4 I have finished the game myself and do agree that it’s a very short ride, but it is a pretty crazy one. Multiplayer does seem very fun from the little I have played of it, but I have been having connectivity issues with it so far and hope that it’s just me or that the problem will be resolved soon....

The Spurs midfielder found himself targeted by the crowd in the 3-0 win at Burnley on Saturday, with a strong early tackle on Charlie Taylor only resulting in a yellow card, before he won a penalty with what some perceived to be a dive.

We have seen this before. The Royals, in returning to the scene of the crime, are once again fighting to escape the clutches of May. Now losers of 5 straight, and the most recent a heartbreaking loss at the hands of the Padres in which the Royals squandered 2 late game leads, they are once again spiraling to the bottom of the division. The signs are all around that this could be another epic collapse much like what we saw during last year’s 4-20 stretch in which they all but removed themselves from the post-season during a mere 30 day stretch....

KS is typically associated with advanced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, but there are other types that can affect groups of people without HIV. The common thread that connects all of these types is a weakened immune system coupled with an infection by a virus known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8). The underlying cause of a weakened immune system largely determines how aggressively or slowly KS symptoms develop. This article looks at the common signs and symptoms of Kaposi’s sarcoma and takes a deeper dive into how the symptoms and complications vary by the different KS types....

Marx was one of more than a dozen historical individuals whose name was etched on various study rooms at the university. But after Campus Reform reported on March 7 that the Marx study room drew ire from students, the nameplate has been removed altogether. The former “Karl Marx Group Study Room 229” seats two to 12 students in Library West of George A. Smathers Libraries.
