Lakers Coach Gives Key Austin Reaves Injury Update

Leave a comment

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.

Alumni, community fight to preserve Ligon school ahead of $141M renovation: ‘Part of our legacy’

Leave a comment

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Several Ligon alumni are currently fighting to preserve this historically Black school. They say students not only earned diplomas there but also learned trades that helped build up the Capitol City.

Bruce Kennedy attended Ligon 54 years ago. “I left in our senior year during the integration,” he said. The lifelong Raleigh resident was part of the last high school class to attend Ligon before it was integrated and converted into a middle school. Kennedy was then sent to Sanderson High to graduate.

“I hated it,” Kennedy admitted. “I wanted to graduate from there (Ligon) all my life because all my parents, everyone in our family, had graduated from there.”

Now, decades later, the school is facing another major change. Ligon is scheduled for a $141 million renovation. However, there have also been discussions about potentially demolishing the building and rebuilding.

The school’s future sparked a tense exchange at last week’s Wake County School Board meeting. Board Member Toshiba Rice expressed frustration, saying, “It is disrespectful that I don’t know, to be honest. It is disrespectful to the people that I serve,” during the October 14th meeting. She pressed for an update on the renovation plans.

Superintendent Dr. Robert Taylor explained that an architect was selected some time ago and that he plans to hold conversations with community members about the next steps for the project.

“We want to do our due diligence to make sure we talk to the public,” said Taylor. “If there is going to be a change or a recommendation, it is my responsibility to make sure I go and talk to them.”

Alumnus Daniel Coleman supports moving forward with the renovation, emphasizing that Ligon represents more than just a school.

“This symbolizes what Wake County is today,” Coleman said. “Everybody came out here. A lot of kids couldn’t get jobs anyplace else. So they were trained. They were plumbers or brick masons. It filled a whole gamut of educational needs for the community.”

For Kennedy, preserving the building is about honoring a legacy.

“It’s part of our legacy,” he said.

Shrapnel hit police vehicle during Marine Corps demonstration at SoCal’s Camp Pendleton: department

Leave a comment

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — Metal shrapnel from explosive ordnance fired during the U.S. Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary celebration at Camp Pendleton on Saturday struck a California Highway Patrol (CHP) vehicle, according to an internal agency report.

The celebration included a military exercise using live artillery fire, which led to intermittent closures of a 17-mile stretch of the 5 Freeway in both directions for about four hours, leaving drivers stranded for extended periods.

Around 1:46 p.m., an explosive ordnance fired over the freeway prematurely detonated overhead from White’s Beach, located roughly three-quarters of a mile south of Las Pulgas Road. The shrapnel from the explosion hit and damaged a CHP patrol vehicle as officers were assisting with the traffic closure. Additionally, shrapnel reportedly struck a CHP motorcycle, although it was not damaged.

“This was an unusual and concerning situation,” said CHP Border Division Chief Tony Coronado. “It is highly uncommon for any live-fire or explosive training activity to occur over an active freeway. As a Marine myself, I have tremendous respect for our military partners, but my foremost responsibility is ensuring the safety of the people of California and the officers who protect them.”

No injuries were reported. CHP officers immediately notified the Marine Corps, which subsequently canceled further fire of ordnance over the freeway.

The CHP has filed an internal report on the incident, recommending an additional after-action review focused on the planning, communication, and coordination between federal, state, and local government agencies involved in the event on Saturday, October 18. The goal is to strengthen protocols for future demonstrations and training exercises near public roadways, according to an official CHP statement.

In response, Governor Gavin Newsom posted on X (formerly Twitter), stating: “We love our Marines and owe a debt of gratitude to Camp Pendleton, but next time, the Vice President and the White House shouldn’t be so reckless with people’s lives for their vanity projects.”

The state was asked on Friday to place signage along the freeway warning, “Overhead fire in progress,” according to a statement from Newsom’s office. Early Saturday morning, the federal government informed the state that live-fire activities were scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

While the Marines indicated they would not need to shut down the freeway during live firing from Navy ships onto land, CHP chose to halt traffic as a precaution. This measure aimed to prevent potential injuries or distractions to drivers caused by the live-fire exercises.

The incident highlights the complexity and risks involved in conducting military demonstrations near active public roadways, underscoring the necessity for improved coordination and safety protocols in future events.

Channel Surfing Nostalgia Machine

Leave a comment

As any generation grows older, they tend to look back fondly on their formative years—times filled with less responsibility and more wonder. Even when things have objectively improved, there is often a nostalgic fondness for the past. This sentiment is especially true when it comes to cable television. Despite the constant presence of ads and the lack of on-demand content, many feel that something was lost in the transition to today’s modern streaming ecosystem.

[Ricardo] has captured the best parts of this golden era of cable TV with a small channel-surfing television project. His creation aims to preserve the enjoyable aspects of traditional cable while leaving behind elements we no longer miss. For example, the familiar experience of channel surfing is retained through the use of a rotary encoder that mimics the antique television channel selector knob.

However, dealing with any telecommunications company—even internet providers—is completely avoided. Instead, this is a fully offline device, allowing users to curate their own channels and programming through a Flask application. [Ricardo]’s build even includes his personal collection of commercials from Argentina, adding an authentic touch to the experience.

This project is a wonderful reminder of the simpler, more tactile era of television, blending nostalgia with modern DIY innovation.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels Owns Fumble: ‘It Was On Me… We’ve Got to Be Better’

Leave a comment

Jayden Daniels Faced Tough Questions Earlier This Season About Knee Injury

Jayden Daniels faced tough questions earlier this season about his lingering knee injury. By Monday night, those concerns were gone, replaced by new scrutiny over a costly late-game turnover. Daniels fumbled in the final minutes against the Chicago Bears, setting up a comeback loss for the Washington Commanders.

This week, he didn’t dodge responsibility. He took ownership of the mistake and shifted the focus toward improvement in Week 7. “But it was on me. So I take accountability,” Daniels said.

Jayden Daniels Reflects on Turnover and Slow Starts

Aside from the turnover, Daniels’ performance against Chicago was his strongest of the year. He threw three touchdown passes, overcoming an early interception, and looked like the player Washington expected when he returned from his knee issue. That’s why both he and the team want to make sure the fumble becomes just a footnote to a solid outing.

“We feel we can put up points,” Daniels said. “But we just got to be better with the details and execution, so we don’t have slow starts.”

Slow starts have been an ongoing problem for the Commanders. They’ve trailed by double digits in the first half of each of their last three games and have been outscored 36-14 in the opening quarter so far in the 2025 season. Daniels played only in the most recent game but acknowledged that the offense must set the tone early if Washington wants to stay competitive in the NFC.

Commanders Look to Bounce Back Against Cowboys

The Commanders have an opportunity to turn things around in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas ranks last in yards allowed, passing yards allowed, and third-down defense through six weeks, which could give Washington’s offense the chance to get into rhythm quickly.

Washington also received good news on Wednesday. Wide receiver Terry McLaurin returned to practice after missing time with a quadriceps injury. A return this weekend would give Daniels a significant boost.

However, the team suffered another setback at the same position. ESPN’s senior NFL insider Adam Schefter reported, “Commanders placed WR Noah Brown on injured reserve, sidelining him for a minimum of four games.”

Fan Reactions

Fans immediately reacted to the news on social media. One fan wrote, “Hopefully Terry McLaurin can come back this week. They really need him.” Another added, “Tough break for the Commanders. Noah Brown was just starting to find rhythm in that offense. They’ll miss his physicality and reliability on third downs.”

Looking Ahead

The Commanders know the margin for error is shrinking. Daniels’ positive showing against Chicago gave them reason for optimism, but cleaning up execution and avoiding early deficits will be critical if they want to stay in the playoff race.

“We’ve got to be more consistent as a team—offense, defense, special teams,” Daniels emphasized.

The Commanders face the Cowboys on Sunday, October 19, at 4:25 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The game will air on FOX.

Unhappy over ruling, man hurls shoe at sessions court judge in Ahmedabad

Leave a comment

A man hurled a shoe at a judge in the Ahmedabad sessions court on Tuesday during ongoing proceedings, according to a police official. It remains unclear whether the shoe hit the additional principal judge.

The incident occurred after the man’s appeal was dismissed. The individual, who was an appellant in the case, became angry and threw the shoe at the judge. Court staff intervened and caught him immediately.

Inspector PH Bhati of the city’s Karanj police station stated that, following the judge’s instructions, no coercive action was taken against the man. “The judge let him go and instructed the staff that no action should be taken against him,” Bhati said.
