“Can’t play with this inept bowling” – Kris Srikkanth’s scathing remark on Team India star after AUS vs IND 2025 2nd ODI

Former Indian captain Kris Srikkanth has called for batting all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy to be dropped from the playing XI.

This demand came following the team’s series-ending defeat to Australia in the second ODI held in Adelaide. Srikkanth expressed his concerns over Kumar Reddy’s performance, suggesting that a change in the lineup might be necessary moving forward.

Nets look to clean up sloppy defense for home opener against Cavaliers

The Nets will be big underdogs to the Cavaliers in Friday’s home opener. They’ll be hard-pressed to play worse than in Wednesday’s season opener.

“We definitely need to have a sense of urgency and figure out our identity. So we’ve got to figure that out as a team,” Michael Porter Jr. said. “It’s the first game, can’t overreact, but at the same time, we saw some glaring problems individually and collectively. So we’ve got to figure out how to get better, watch the film and be better Friday, for sure.”

Being better than they were in the opener is a low bar. The Nets didn’t defend. They didn’t stick together. They didn’t get back in transition. And they didn’t get production from Porter and Cam Thomas, who combined for 27 points on 7-of-24 shooting and a minus-38 rating.

That was in a 136-117 humbling in Charlotte at the hands of a Hornets team that went 19-63 last season.

Next up, the Nets are facing a Cavaliers squad that had the East’s best record last season and has every reason to be motivated—between an opening loss to the Knicks and coach Kenny Atkinson having been unceremoniously fired by the Nets five years ago.

“Watch the film, learn from it,” said Nic Claxton. “Obviously, it wasn’t a good performance, but it’s no need to panic.”

There’s no need to panic because tanking is the plan. Building bad habits isn’t.

The Nets’ defense was in abysmal disarray. They didn’t defend at the point of attack or in transition and were outscored 23-5 on the fast break, including an 18-0 deficit in the first half.

“We’ve just got to execute better from top to bottom, all five guys on the court, the bench, our energy,” Claxton added. “We just all have to be better, for real. It starts on the defensive end. Our energy just has to be better. And when we face adversity, we all have to be better—everybody.”

Frankly, nobody should be surprised at the opening loss. With five rookies, including three teenage point guards, the Nets are bound to struggle.

But while the score wasn’t shocking, the ease with which they let go of the rope was.

When adversity hit, the Nets abandoned the game plan on both ends of the court.

“We had a game plan where we had to do things in a certain way. [We were outscored] in fast-break points, we didn’t defend the rim, we couldn’t defend the 3-point line,” coach Jordi Fernández said. “So all those things that go with KYP.”

In NBA parlance, that’s “know your personnel,” the basis of any game plan. And it’s something at which the Nets failed miserably.

“We were just doing things with no purpose, just running around, running around. And you run around hard, but you’ve gotta know exactly what the call is, what your positioning is,” Fernández said. “So it’s exciting because, definitely, we can be better. And that’s the goal: show up the next day and next game and be better.”

The Nets had better be better Friday because the opposing personnel will be. Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley are a step up in competition and present a stiff test.

Even the Nets’ rookies know they must do a better job at KYP.

“There was a lot of stuff that we’ve been talking through… that we thought were the problems, and this is something we can fix, such as being louder, talking to each other, helping each other whether it’s offense or defense or the bench bringing positive energy,” said Egor Dëmin, the Nets’ lottery pick in the 2025 draft.

“We need to get better at knowing personnel and knowing who you’re closing out, rather than the way you’re closing the guys out, things like this. And get back, just protect the rim and protect the 3s, trying to force them to take shots we want them to take.”

Dodgers make final decision on Clayton Kershaw’s World Series roster status

The Los Angeles Dodgers obviously want to give legendary left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw a proper send-off after a sensational near two-decade run with the franchise. At the same time, they are extremely motivated to win their second straight World Series championship. Many fans are wondering if both goals can be accomplished, or if sentiment might clash with ambition in this specific instance.

Based on the latest news, LA believes No. 22 can help the team stay on top. Longtime manager Dave Roberts revealed that Kershaw will be on the Dodgers’ roster for their best-of-seven, season-ending showdown with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez.

Following a rough relief outing versus the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the National League Division Series, it was unclear if Kershaw would receive another opportunity to take the mound before he officially retires. The Dodgers kept the 37-year-old on the active squad for the NL Championship Series, but they did not use him in their sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers.

A solid showing against the Blue Jays en route to another title would be the perfect way for Kershaw to end his final October run. But does he still have what it takes?

The 2014 MVP, three-time Cy Young Award winner, and five-time ERA king posted a respectable 2025 regular season, recording a 3.36 ERA with 84 strikeouts and a .663 OPS against in 112 2/3 innings of work. He remains a pillar of consistency for large stretches of time.

However, the playoffs have often been a source of adversity for him. Clayton Kershaw owns a 4.63 ERA in almost 200 postseason innings. That statistic will be the unfortunate “but” people mention when reflecting on an otherwise absurdly amazing MLB career.

It would be quite poetic if the future Hall of Famer and all-time great southpaw could ride off into the sunset after thriving in the Fall Classic. Fans across Los Angeles are undoubtedly hoping to witness just that as Kershaw looks to add one final championship to his illustrious resume.

Jets Rookies Rise as Red-Zone Struggles Continue

The New York Jets enter Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals not just chasing a win, but a true identity. Injuries, inconsistency, and constant lineup changes have forced head coach Aaron Glenn’s team to look inward. What they’ve found is a rookie class ready to rise and an offense struggling to finish drives.

### Rookie Secondary Becoming the Story

Despite all the talk about the Jets’ offensive frustrations, their defense—and especially their rookies—has reshaped the team’s narrative. With All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner sidelined by a concussion, third-round pick Azareye’h Thomas steps into the spotlight for his first career start.

It’s a trial by fire for the Florida State product, who faces one of the NFL’s most dangerous duos in Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Thomas showed his potential in limited snaps against Carolina. He allowed just two catches, broke up two passes, and stayed aggressive in man coverage when pressed into action.

Defensive coordinator Steve Wilks expressed full faith in the rookie. “You see the confidence, you see his ability,” Wilks said. “He’s not shying away from the positions we’re putting him in. We have a lot of confidence in him, and his teammates do too.”

Rookie safety Malachi Moore also continues to grow. He logged 71 snaps in Week 7 and delivered his first career pass breakup with a hit that jarred the ball loose. His versatility lets Wilks move him around at safety, nickel, or dime. That flexibility has helped the defense hold opponents under 180 passing yards in back-to-back games.

The Jets don’t just aim to survive without Gardner — they want to prove the system works. Their defensive identity no longer depends on one star. It now thrives on depth, discipline, and young players who look comfortable under pressure.

### Offense Still Searching for a Finish Line

While the defense rises, the offense continues to stall inside the red zone. Offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand didn’t sugarcoat it this week: “What we’re working on every day is finishing.”

Through seven games, the Jets sit 16th in the NFL in red-zone touchdown rate at 57 percent. They’ve played two straight games without scoring a touchdown inside the 20. Even worse, they’ve crossed midfield six times on opening drives this season and ended up with four field goals and zero touchdowns.

“It’s about being detailed with our craft,” Engstrand said. “We need to sustain those opening drives and finish each one in the end zone.”

That slow start continues to pile pressure on a defense already carrying the load. The Jets compete hard, but they don’t close — and that’s the difference between a good team and a playoff one.

Facing a Cincinnati team that just exploded for 470 yards and 33 points behind 40-year-old Joe Flacco, the Jets can’t afford to settle for threes when the Bengals are scoring sevens.

### A Defining Moment for the Jets

For a franchise built on grit and near-misses, this game goes beyond another measuring stick. It’s a moment to prove the foundation works — from Thomas’ assertive coverage to Engstrand’s renewed red-zone focus.

If the rookies keep exceeding expectations and the offense finally finishes drives, the Jets can turn potential into legitimacy. If not, familiar ghosts—wasted defensive dominance and offensive inefficiency—will return.

The future has already arrived. Now the Jets must prove they can finish what they’ve started.

Lakers Coach Gives Key Austin Reaves Injury Update

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves is dealing with ankle discomfort but is expected to play Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, coach JJ Redick told reporters after Thursday’s practice.

“I know Austin and I expect him to play,” Redick said, per Lakers insider Jovan Buha. Reaves was a modified participant in the Lakers’ practice after he shone in their season-opening 119-109 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

The Lakers guard put up 26 points on 9-of-16 shooting, along with nine assists and five rebounds, showing his growing confidence and importance to the team’s offense. Despite the ankle discomfort, Reaves has a knack for playing through pain.

In one of their preseason matches against the Warriors, Reaves survived an injury scare after he collided with Golden State guard Brandin Podziemski.

“[Reaves] got kneed in the posterior anterior calf or somewhere around there,” Redick said at the time. “I think he just took a knee to his lower leg muscle. I think he’s fine.”

In the season opener, the Lakers — behind Luka Dončić and Reaves — were competitive despite missing LeBron James, who is still recovering from sciatica, until the third quarter.

### Reaves Addresses Lakers’ Ongoing Third-Quarter Struggles

Even after his strong performance, Reaves expressed frustration with a familiar issue: the Lakers’ inability to maintain intensity after halftime.

“We’ve just been bad in the third quarter,” Reaves said after the loss. “Last couple of years for sure, but I think ever since I’ve been here, we’ve had a problem with the third quarter. So, we’ve got to figure out a way to come out with a little more energy.”

Redick addressed the same concern postgame, challenging his players to take responsibility. Reaves agreed.

“That’s on us players, not the coaches,” Reaves said. “They come in here and give us the answers to the test, and we just didn’t come out and execute. We have to be better.”

The Lakers will have a chance to respond Friday in a playoff rematch against the Timberwolves — the team that eliminated them in five games in last season’s first round.

### Contract Year Adds High Stakes to Reaves’ Season

Reaves, 27, entered the season with more than just on-court motivation. He’s playing the final guaranteed year of his four-year, $54 million contract, which includes a $14.8 million player option for next season — one he is widely expected to decline.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst recently reported there is “a 0.0% chance” Reaves signs an extension and a “99.9% chance” he opts out of his deal next summer.

“Reaves has one of the best value contracts in the NBA,” Windhorst wrote, explaining that current extension rules cap his raise at 140% of his existing salary, or roughly $89 million over four years — far below his expected market value.

The Lakers have full Bird rights on Reaves, meaning they can offer him any salary up to the max to retain him, but competition is looming.

### Reaves Drawing Interest From Multiple Teams

According to The Athletic’s Dan Woike on The Zach Lowe Show podcast, Reaves is already drawing interest from rival teams preparing “lucrative offers” potentially exceeding $40 million per year.

According to ESPN front office insider Bobby Marks, there will be about 10 teams projected to have significant cap space next summer.

“If he has a good year, he could be a fringe All-Star candidate for sure,” Lowe said. “And honestly, the max is not out of the question.”

Woike added that with the expected cap spike, Reaves’ maximum salary offer from another team could start around $42 million per year.

“It’s him and Trae Young — those are the free agents everyone’s watching,” Woike said.

### Rising Star With Higher Stakes Ahead

Reaves’ rise from undrafted rookie to potential nine-figure free agent has made him one of the NBA’s most intriguing stories entering the 2025 season.

His mix of shooting, playmaking, and poise has made him a cornerstone of Redick’s new system and a priority for the Lakers to keep long-term.

For now, Reaves’ focus remains on the floor. Despite the ankle discomfort, he’s expected to suit up Friday, continuing to prove his value on both ends.

If his early-season form continues, Reaves won’t just be one of the Lakers’ most important players — he could be one of the NBA’s most expensive free agents by next summer.

Chargers elevate RBs Nyheim Hines and Jaret Patterson to active roster for tonight

The Chargers are currently short on running backs, prompting them to make roster adjustments ahead of tonight’s game against the Vikings.

Practice squad running backs Nyheim Hines and Jaret Patterson were both elevated to the active roster just four hours before kickoff. Prior to these moves, the Chargers had only two running backs on their 53-player roster: Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins.

With the additions of Hines and Patterson, the Chargers now have four running backs available for tonight’s matchup against the Vikings.

Notably, Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris—who would typically be the team’s top two running backs if healthy—are both currently on injured reserve.

Giants veterans tell Jaxson Dart to ‘stick close’ in Philadelphia debut

The New York Giants face one of their most important games of the season in Week 8. New York heads to Philadelphia with a chance to sweep their division rival in front of the Eagles’ home crowd.

Giants veterans are making sure that rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart is ready for his first road game in Philadelphia. Giants receiver Darius Slayton warned that Dart is about to receive some hate from Eagles fans this weekend.

“Yeah, I mean, if he didn’t have any haters, he’ll find where they all live,’’ Slayton said, as reported by Paul Schwartz of The New York Post. “He’s about to get introduced to all of ’em.’’

Tight end Daniel Bellinger also advised Dart to “stick close” to his teammates when playing in Philly. “You know you got to stick close to your brothers in the locker room, just kind of stay as tight as one group because that team and that fan base, they’re going to get a little gritty on the sidelines,’’ Bellinger added. “I would tell him, ‘Listen, focus on you, focus on the team and stick together and not worry about the outside noise.’”

The Giants at Eagles matchup is expected to be one of the best games on the Week 8 slate.

### Jaxson Dart Looking Forward to Playing the Villain in Philadelphia

Despite the warnings from New York’s veterans about the hostile environment, Dart is undeterred. The rookie quarterback expressed excitement about taking in the “hostility” when playing in Philly this Sunday.

“Yeah it’s going to be intense for sure,” Dart said on Wednesday, according to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan. “I can’t wait to go out there and compete and kind of feel like the hostility in the air. The rivalry between the two organizations—it’s going to be really cool.”

Dart also admitted he is looking forward to embracing the villain role this weekend in Philadelphia.

“Yeah I think a little bit,” Dart concluded. “I think anybody finds it enjoyable when you’re able to win games on the road. That’s something that we haven’t done yet, so we’re still chasing that and I’m just excited for the environment.”

Now, the question becomes whether Dart will end up eating his words.

The Giants at Eagles game kicks off at 1 PM ET on Sunday.

“I told him I don’t wanna wrestle anymore”- WWE legend confirms talks with Tony Khan

A WWE legend recently revealed that he had a conversation with Tony Khan about the possibility of joining AEW.

However, he made it clear that he is not looking for a wrestling role within the company.

This development has sparked interest among fans, as many wonder what kind of position the legend might pursue in AEW outside of in-ring competition.

While one Eagles WR sends cryptic messages, DeVonta Smith just catches the football – at a higher rate than usual

“I don’t think it’s something that maybe is voiced enough, but everybody sees it,” Hurts said Wednesday at his press conference at the NovaCare Complex. “Everybody feels it. It definitely oozes through the team. He’s been that size his whole entire career, his whole life.”

But Hurts doesn’t wonder about it like he once did. He gave that up a long time ago.

“I remember times asking him, ‘Hey, how much you weigh? You gaining weight?’” Hurts recalled. “I stopped asking him that as the years have gone on because that’s no indication of what type of player he is. He’s a hell of a player, and he’s been making some big-time plays.”

The Eagles’ pass offense has struggled for most of the season—enough that the team’s other star receiver, A.J. Brown, has once again expressed his dissatisfaction. It’s been enough for Hurts, Brown, and Saquon Barkley to hold a gathering after a Thursday night loss to the Giants this month. Even after Sunday’s breakout performance against the Vikings, Brown still went to social media to send a cryptic message about his usage despite his 121 yards and two touchdowns.

Ironically, Smith is in the middle of his best season yet, with his per-game average in almost every category surpassing his career averages. Smith is on pace for close to 1,300 yards, which would be the most of his career.

The 2020 Heisman Trophy winner ranks ninth in the NFL in receiving yards and 11th in receptions, despite sharing targets with Brown and tight end Dallas Goedert.

Advanced analytics show that Smith is among the NFL’s most productive receivers, even though the Eagles have the league’s seventh-fewest pass attempts. Smith’s receiving EPA (+37.5) is fourth in the NFL, and his catch rate over expectation (+18.9) is third.

“He’s a dynamic player, right?” offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo said Tuesday in his press conference. “He’s a Heisman Trophy winner. He is one of the best players in the league still, obviously. We’re going to use him in any capacity we can, and his energy is just infectious at all times.”

For sure, Smith is the team’s spark plug. He broke open Sunday’s win over the Vikings with a 79-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter on a Hurts play-action pass from under center. Smith had told the coaches prior to the play that it was there for the taking.

“Smitty does a great job of communicating what he’s seeing out there,” head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday. “He’s got great football instincts and football IQ, so he gives you that confidence to be able to call things in those scenarios when he sees something. It’s just like having another set of eyes from coaches out there on the field.”

The touchdown put the Eagles up 12 points, but the Vikings didn’t go away. It took several more big conversions from both Smith and Brown to stave off Carson Wentz’s attempted comeback.

The Eagles led only 21-16 when Smith came up with a 19-yard catch that not only moved the chains into Vikings territory but also demonstrated his unique ability to take crushing hits, land hard, and still hang onto the ball.

On another under-center play action, Hurts delivered a strike to Smith at the left seam on a deep over route. Smith had to extend both arms up as veteran Vikings safety Harrison Smith rotated over.

Harrison Smith drilled DeVonta Smith in the chest as he reached for the ball, causing the receiver to land awkwardly on his right leg while his left leg was still airborne, then crash down on his rear end as his body rolled on the turf. And then Smith just popped right back up.

“DeVonta is so tough, and he knows that,” Sirianni said after the game. “We talk a lot about—and I know he talked a lot about this in college—about finishing runs and finding ways to get ugly yards after the catch. He’s going to go look for those ugly runs and extra yards because of just his makeup, who he is, and the toughness that he has.

“I remember the Super Bowl in ’22, our first third down, he catches a little shallow route and [then-Chiefs safety Justin] Reed comes over and just smokes him on the sideline and he hit him good. I don’t know if you remember, his feet were up over his head and Smitty just gets up fast. I think about that. There was also the game in ’22 against the Cardinals where someone came over and just drilled him on a wide receiver screen and he pops up.”

These are both gifts and curses, Sirianni explained.

“Sometimes you don’t want him to take those hits, there’s a time to go out of bounds, but he is always looking for the grimy, gritty yards,” Sirianni said. “You try to show your physicality and your toughness many different ways, and I think there brings a lot of energy to guys when you see Smitty lower his shoulder and get those extra yards.”

Tearful Kim Kardashian Shares Doctors Found Brain Aneurysm

The Total Bellas alum revealed that one of her breast implants shifted after an elbow slam from fellow WWE star Piper Niven during a July 2025 wrestling match.

“It’s OK,” she told sister Bella Garcia at the time. “We’re going to get it fixed one day. I told the doctor, I go, ‘Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I’m going to come back to you and we’re going to make these girls look real good, because these girls are going to get some action in the future and that can’t look like that.'”

The 12 Years a Slave star was diagnosed with uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus—in 2014, the same year she won an Oscar for her performance in the movie. However, it wasn’t until 2025 when she disclosed her diagnosis, writing on Instagram that she had been “suffering in silence” for more than a decade.

“When we reach puberty, we’re taught periods mean pain, and that pain is simply part of being a woman,” she shared. “We’re struggling alone with something that affects us most.”

In July 2025, the Daisy Jones & The Six star shared that she had been hospitalized due to a hernia—a gap in the muscular wall that’s commonly found in the abdomen or groin area—caused by wearing tight pants.

“‘Suki you never tweet anymore,'” she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia & I’ve been too scared to tell you?”

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum revealed in April 2025 that he was recovering from surgery after his appendix nearly burst.

“Last week, I started feeling some pain in my stomach,” Brian said in an Instagram video at the time. “I ended up going to the emergency room, and I had a perforated appendix. Not quite burst, but just before.”

He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”

The Racing Louisville midfielder collapsed just a few minutes into her soccer team’s Sept. 14 match against Seattle Reign at Lumen Field in Seattle.

The United States Women’s National Team player could be seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate by her side, per Reuters, as the referee called for trainers to check her out. She collapsed seconds later.

“Savannah received immediate on-field care from medical personnel and was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation,” the National Women’s Soccer League wrote on X later that night. “She is stable and alert.”

Adam Devine shared that injuries he sustained after getting hit by a cement truck when he was 11 years old are still affecting him to this day.

“It’s been a nightmare,” Devine said in a 2025 episode of the *In Depth With Graham Bensinger* podcast. “I have spasms all over. For a while, [the doctors] told me I was dying—literally, within this last year.”

He noted that pain comes and goes, adding, “My body has all these things that are a little wonky and a little wrong with it.”

The Bachelor Nation alum shared that he went to the hospital “crawling on all fours” due to overwhelming back pain that was aggravated during an RV trip with a friend.

“Right now, knees to my toes, it’s, like, still tingly, which is crazy,” he said on a March 2025 episode of his *Trading Secrets* podcast.

“To put in perspective, I don’t know, man, like not to sound douchey, but like two, three weeks ago, maybe a month ago, I was squatting probably like 295 pounds. And right now, I can’t do a squat on my foot. I can’t do a one-legged squat, I fall. It’s like I had a stroke or something.”

But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”

The *Even Stevens* alum shared in February 2025 that she was shot in the face while on a trip to shoot clay pigeons to celebrate husband Brendan Rooney’s birthday.

“There was another party with us and they unsafely fired in the wrong direction and shot me in the face,” she wrote on Instagram. “@thebrendanrooney immediately sprung into action, assessed me, and rushed me to the hospital. I was hit in 5 places, one was less than an inch from hitting me directly in my right eye.”

The *Kim Possible* alum continued, “Unfortunately a fragment got lodged behind my eye and it is too risky to remove surgically at this time. Doctors will continue to monitor me.”

She explained the blood clot had traveled into her heart, “escaped” through the hole, and went to her brain, leading to the TIA.

Hailey said she had a successful PFO closure procedure and was now feeling great.

The same year Hailey had her health scare, Justin experienced one of his own.

In June 2022, the “Baby” singer shared he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that caused temporary paralysis to parts of his face and forced him to cancel the remainder of his Justice World Tour.

“It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” Justin explained in an Instagram video at the time.

“As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So, there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.”

In fact, he told his followers it had gotten “progressively harder to eat.” But after a while, the paralysis went away.

“He’s doing really well,” Hailey said on a June 2022 episode of *Good Morning America,* later adding, “He’s feeling a lot better. Obviously, it was just a very scary and random situation to happen, but he’s going to be totally OK and I’m just grateful that he’s fine.”

While Jamie Foxx initially kept details of his April 2023 hospitalization private, he later opened up about what he went through.

One day in Atlanta, “I was having such a bad headache, so I asked my boy, I said, ‘Listen, I need an aspirin,’” the Oscar winner said in his 2024 Netflix special *What Had Happened Was.*

“Before I could get the Aspirin, I went out. I don’t remember 20 days.”

Jamie said he was initially taken to a doctor who gave him a cortisone shot and then sent him home. However, his concerned sister Deidra Dixon then drove him to a hospital, where they got an answer: He had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

Twenty days after undergoing an operation, the *Django Unchained* star woke up May 4 in a wheelchair and couldn’t walk. He then went to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy.

“All I can tell you is that I appreciate every prayer,” he said, “because I needed every prayer.”

The reality star revealed that she “died” while running a mile during the first challenge of the NBC competition series.

“I don’t remember a lot,” she explained on *Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser.*

“I remember hearing the helicopter. I just felt like I was floating. And then my grandpa was there. And then I saw darkness. But then I saw light. So I knew, I knew I died that day.”

“My organs were literally shutting down,” she continued. “I didn’t realize that I had rhabdomyolysis. And rhabdomyolysis is your body’s way of saying, ‘I’m going to shut down on you.’”

Emilia Clarke filmed battle scenes for *Game of Thrones,* but in 2019, she published an essay in *The New Yorker* titled “A Battle for My Life.”

Having a bad headache at the gym, “I reached the toilet, sank to my knees, and proceeded to be violently, voluminously ill,” the actress wrote. “Meanwhile, the pain—shooting, stabbing, constricting pain—was getting worse. At some level, I knew what was happening: my brain was damaged.”

She was taken to the hospital for a brain scan. “The diagnosis was quick and ominous: a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening type of stroke, caused by bleeding into the space surrounding the brain,” the Emmy nominee added. “I’d had an aneurysm, an arterial rupture.”

Emilia had immediate surgery to seal the aneurysm, calling the pain “unbearable.” While she was recovering, she continued, she experienced aphasia and was “muttering nonsense.” A week later, “the aphasia passed,” Emilia added, and she left the hospital a month after being admitted.

At a 2013 brain scan, she learned a growth “doubled in size” and that she needed surgery again.

“When they woke me, I was screaming in pain,” she wrote. “The procedure had failed. I had a massive bleed and the doctors made it plain that my chances of surviving were precarious if they didn’t operate again. This time they needed to access my brain in the old-fashioned way—through my skull.”

Thankfully, Emilia shared, she’s now “at a hundred per cent.”

Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus is grateful for her family. After she suffered a “severe stroke” in January 2024, her loved ones rushed to be by her side.

“I texted them that I just had a stroke and sent them a picture,” she told *E! News* correspondent Will Marfuggi in December 2024. “Everybody just came to my rescue.”

Because of other medical concerns, Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than she initially expected.

“I could have went home after my stroke, but my lupus wasn’t doing so well,” the *Snoop’s Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne’s Story* star continued. “My kidneys were failing. It was a lot going on.”

Today, Cori is on the mend.

“I’m doing great,” she added. “I just had a little bit of motor skills that I had to work back on. But other than that, I was fine.”

Shailene Woodley’s early 20s were not an easy time health-wise.

“It got to the point where I was losing my hearing. I couldn’t walk for longer than five minutes at a time without having to lay down for hours, and hours and sleep. Everything I ate hurt my stomach,” the actress said on a September 2024 episode of the *SHE MD Podcast.*

“It was this conflation of issues and diagnoses and different doctors telling me different things.”

So Shailene—who chose to keep the exact condition private—set out to find answers.

“I come from a very holistic background and study herbalism,” she added. “So I was very keen on, ‘I’m going to work with real MDs, [and] I’m also going to work with independent kind of healers.’ Just trying to search for some sense of comfort in my own skin.”

It was a long journey—one that lasted for 10 years.

“Throughout that decade, a lot of other things came from feeling so much discomfort physically,” the *Big Little Lies* star noted, “which was, ‘My gosh, if everything I eat hurts my stomach, I’m now suddenly afraid of food.’ And then going into the kind of mental f–ckery that can happen with that of body dysmorphia and confusion about identity and feeling safe in my own capsule, in my own skin, what that meant, and what that should be.”

After tending to both her physical and mental health, Shailene is feeling much better.

“It was a journey that ultimately physically resolved itself, and I am very healthy,” she shared. “I’m so happy to be able to say that.”
