So as the 2022 team fades into the background with a 52-64 record, some feelings of disappointment were to be expected. The realization that this won’t be a case of instant gratification was apparently a hard one to swallow… Source link

The billionaire faces an uphill battle to call off the deal as he has to prove there’s been a material adverse effect on the transaction. Elon Musk’s ‘will-he-won’t-he’ dance to buy Twitter took a turn on Friday after the billionaire said… Source link

A few months ago, it was assumed Irving would pick up that option or sign a long-term extension with the Nets. But after Irving missed a… Source link

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised interest rates by 0.75%, the largest move it has made in a single meeting since 1994. The central bank messaged that further interest rate hikes will come this year, as the Fed leans on higher borrowing costs to dampen demand and work to slow faster-than-expected inflation. “Overall economic activity appears to have picked up after edging down in the first quarter,” the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement, repeating its… Source link
