Markieff Morris has returned from what has somehow become one of the NBA’s most controversial injuries. The Miami Heat forward appeared in his first game since Nov. 8 on Saturday, playing 17 minutes and recording six points. He played several minutes down the stretch in a close fourth quarter, with the Heat eventually losing 113-104 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. It had been a long wait for Morris, who sustained whiplash from a run-in with Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. The injury… Source link

If you asked Miami Heat forward Markieff Morris, he’d be out there playing. The team, however, has yet to clear him from the “whiplash” he suffered after being shoved by Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic in November. That injury, according to the Miami Herald, may end up keeping him out for the rest of season. Jokic was ejected from their Nov. 8 game in Denver after running up and shoving Morris hard from behind near mid-court. The shove came after Morris had body checked Jokic and… Source link

(Bloomberg) — Philip Morris International Inc. agreed to buy U.K. asthma drug maker Vectura Group Plc for $1.2 billion, one of the biggest moves yet by a tobacco company toward treating conditions that its cigarettes can help cause. Philip Morris is offering 150 pence in cash for every Vectura share, the companies said in a statement Friday. That’s 11% higher than Thursday’s closing price, and beats an offer from Carlyle Group Inc. that management had agreed to in May. Vectura shares… Source link

DENVER — The Denver Nuggets intend to shake things up heading into Game 4 against the Phoenix Suns by inserting guards Will Barton and Monte Morris into the starting lineup, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Consistent scoring in the first unit has been problematic all series long. Phoenix is up 3-0 in the Western Conference semifinals round with a chance to close the series out Sunday night on the road. Barton returned from a hamstring injury in Game 2 after being sidelined since April 23…. Source link

For more business and finance explainers, check out our Yahoo U page. AT&T’s blockbuster deal to merge its content subsidiary WarnerMedia to Discovery Inc. made waves in the media industry. But the deal required a bit of financial acrobatics to pull off, involving a merger strategy known as a Reverse Morris Trust. In a standard merger, a large company buys a small company. But the Reverse Morris Trust deal allows Discovery (the smaller company) to absorb a major asset from AT&T (the larger… Source link

After an 0-5 start in which the Atlanta Falcons continued their confounding, Washington Generals-like inability to close out games, team owner Arthur Blank fired head coach Dan Quinn and named defensive coordinator Raheem Morris interim head coach. This was notable, and not just because Blank pulled the plug on a coach who was 21 minutes away from the Falcons’ Super Bowl win. No, this was also about Morris getting the one thing that’s proven to be all too rare for Black men who fall short… Source link

When Raheem Morris took over as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, the odds were against him earning the full-time job. That’s true for all interim coaches. While nobody can know how many wins the Falcons would have to bank to give Morris a legitimate interview to be hired on a permanent basis, he’s giving himself a shot. The Falcons got another win under Morris in a rainy Thursday night game, beating the Carolina Panthers 25-17. It looked like the Falcons might blow yet another… Source link
