Nikola Jokic lands on All-NBA 2nd team, MVP Joel Embiid headlines

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:36 GMT

Denver’s Nikola Jokic now knows how Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid felt during two previous NBA award seasons.Second in the MVP race — but only second-team All-NBA.Embiid — the newly crowned MVP — headlined the All-NBA team unveiled Wednesday night. He was the first-team center, while Jokic was the second-team pick at that position. It was a reversal of the results from 2021 and 2022, when Jokic was MVP over Embiid, who then had to settle for the second-team All-NBA center spot. Nikola Jokic jokingly tosses basketball to Suns owner Ishbia And this should be the final time such a quirk happens. Starting next year, the All-NBA team will no longer be broken down by position — meaning the presumed second-best player in the NBA one season, such as Embiid in 2021 and 2022 and Jokic now, will not have to be relegated to second-team anything.Joining Embiid on the first team were Boston's Jayson Tatum and Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo at forward, and Dallas' Luka Doncic and Oklahoma City's...

Celtics’ Jaylen Brown earns first career All-NBA selection, now eligible for supermax extension

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:36 GMT

While the Celtics’ focus right now is certainly on the immediate future as they face elimination in the second round of the playoffs, their long-term future may have gotten clearer on Wednesday night.Jayson Tatum was named to the All-NBA first team for a second consecutive season, and for the first time in his career, Jaylen Brown was selected to an All-NBA team as he was chosen for the second team. The selections solidified the Celtics stars as the best duo in the NBA, and also have massive implications on the franchise’s future.Brown – who will enter the final year of his four-year, $115 million deal next season – will now have the ability to sign the biggest contract in league history this summer, as his All-NBA selection makes him eligible to receive a five-year, $295 million supermax extension, which is over $100 million more than he could have received for a max extension without an All-NBA nod.Brown’s selection sets the stage for an interesting summer for the Celtics, especia...

Ravens observations from ‘football school’ practice, including missing pieces on offense, rookie insight and more

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:36 GMT

In a busy Ravens offseason that included Lamar Jackson’s trade request and eventual contract extension, the addition of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and the declining of linebacker Patrick Queen’s fifth-year option, among other news, Wednesday marked the first time the team opened practiced to the media.While several high-profile players weren’t in attendance at the voluntary “football school” — notably Jackson — it did provide an opportunity to see offensive, defensive and special teams players on the field for the first time since the offseason programs began. Rookie minicamp ended over the weekend, so no first-year players were present, but there was plenty of intrigue among the group that did arrive in Owings Mills. Here are a few observations:Monken takes chargeThe biggest change on the coaching staff was the addition of offensive coordinator Todd Monken. He replaced Greg Roman, who resigned in January amid frustration from players a...

Julius Randle on Heat rebounding: ‘Maybe they want it more’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:36 GMT

Maybe they want it more.That was Knicks’ All-Star Julius Randle’s answer when asked why his team has struggled to dominate the glass against a Miami Heat team that ranked toward the bottom of the NBA in the category during the regular season.The Knicks finished third in regular-season rebounding rate this season and were projected to lean on that strength against a Heat team that finished the year ranked 26th on the glass.In Games 1 and 2 against the Heat, the Knicks won the rebound margin, 98-73, and headed to Miami with the series tied at one game apiece. Yet entering Game 5 at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, the Knicks had been outrebounded in each of their previous two games: They lost on the glass, 50-48, in Game 3, then were embarrassed in Game 4, when the notoriously undersized Heat outrebounded them by nine in an eight-point victory that sunk the Knicks into a 3-1 series hole.“Maybe they want it more, I don’t know,” Randle said at the team&#...

Wildlife conservation advocates say towns, cities should regulate pesticides, not the feds and state

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:36 GMT

Wildlife conservation advocates are urging state lawmakers to give cities and towns the power to regulate pesticides as a means of pest control.The Environmental Protection Agency and state Department of Agricultural Resources review registered pest control products before they enter the market, but advocates say that is hurting and killing countless animals across Massachusetts.Arlington residents and representatives made their pitch during a hearing Wednesday for the state Legislature to approve a home rule petition that would allow the suburban town to regulate rodenticide use on private property.Arlington made headlines earlier this year when MK, a bald eagle, died after consuming rat poisoning at a town cemetery. A mother gray horned owl and two of her fledgling owlets suffered the same fate in an Arlington park last spring before another owl died in December.“We are not saying we want rats in our community, but what we are saying is we don’t need to kill a bald eagle or our ow...

Kidney cancer patients have ‘more and more hope’ after promising Dana-Farber study

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:36 GMT

A promising new study out of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute showing that a three-drug combination slows the progression of advanced kidney cancer gives patients “more and more hope,” the lead researcher told the Herald on Wednesday.Kidney cancer patients treated with the three-drug combo — a targeted kinase inhibitor added to a two-drug immunotherapy combo — had a 27% lower risk of progression or death compared to those on the two immunotherapy drugs.“There had never been a study that showed the three drugs were superior to the two,” said Toni Choueiri, the director of the Lank Center for Genitourinary Cancer at Dana-Farber, and who’s the lead author of the COSMIC-313 study.“This gives kidney cancer patients more and more hope,” he later added.Rates of kidney cancer in the U.S. are on the rise, especially among men, and an estimated 82,000 Americans will be diagnosed with kidney cancer this year.The COSMIC-313 study looked at the c...
