After spraining his right ankle late in Game 3, Trae Young‘s status for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals is less than 100%. The Atlanta Hawks guard was in the midst of another big scoring night when he rolled his ankle late in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. With Atlanta leading 85-82, Young threw an errant pass in a halfcourt set that Bucks forward Bobby Portis intercepted.  Trae Young injured after stepping on ref Young stepped back to get back on defense,… Source link

Nate McMillan was hesitant. The then-Atlanta Hawks assistant coach was months into his new position but facing an offer to take over for the recently fired Lloyd Pierce, the man who brought him to Atlanta after McMillan was dismissed by the Indiana Pacers. The Hawks were in Miami at the time, a young team that underachieved by the organization’s standards but not by many around the league. Pierce was a young coach with a sterling reputation, endorsed and supported around the NBA. Something… Source link

TORREY PINES, Calif. — Golfers tossing balls to little kids standing along the ropes as they walk by is a fairly routine sight at any golf tournament. Phil Mickelson took it to a new level Thursday in the middle of Round 1 of the U.S. Open. Walking between the 14th green and 15th tee, his first nine of the day, Mickelson spotted a kid in a highlighter-green T-shirt and tossed him his ball. Thing was, the little kid — 10-year old Grayden Jackel — was standing next to his buddy, 7-year… Source link

Apparently, the heavy wrap on Trae Young‘s shooting shoulder worked. Following an 0-for-5 start from the field, the Atlanta Hawks point guard had his right shoulder wrapped by trainers at the end of the first quarter. Backcourt mate Bogdan Bogdanovic limped to the sideline soon after. The Philadelphia 76ers stretched their first-half lead to 18 points, and the Hawks looked cooked — surely bound for a second straight home loss and a 3-1 uphill climb in the Eastern Conference semifinals.  But… Source link

The happiest person at the French Open on Sunday might not have been newly crowned men’s champion Novak Djokovic.  A young fan displayed an even more exuberant smile after receiving a one-of-a-kind souvenir.  Moments after rallying from a two-set deficit to defeat Stefanos Tsitsipas and secure his 19th major title, Djokovic generously gifted his match-used racket to a boy in the first row of the stands. The boy clutched the racket with both hands and jumped up and down in a mixture of… Source link

Yahoo Entertainment Helen Hunt wanted to direct a ‘Twister’ sequel ‘with all black and brown storm chasers’ but got denied On Watch What Happens Live Thursday, when a conversation with Actress Helen Hunt turned to sequels, host Andy Cohen mentioned the often discussed possibility of a Twister sequel. And wouldn’t you know it? Hunt actually had a pretty interesting idea for one, and it included her directing and co-writing alongside Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal. “I tried to get it… Source link

Tiger Woods has understandably kept a low profile since the February car crash that left him with substantial leg injuries. He’s made social media appearances, including a congratulatory tweet to his old rival Phil Mickelson for his PGA Championship victory on Sunday. But until this week, he’s only been known to show himself in public once — an April photo on crutches that he shared on Instagram.  On Monday, a new photo of Woods surfaced on social media. This one he didn’t provide. It was… Source link

A year defined by social unrest, political polarization and a global pandemic took its toll on the nation’s collective psyche, especially the young — and the effects may linger well beyond 2021, a mental health advocate told Yahoo Finance.  Throughout 2020, crisis counselors at the Crisis Text Line held 1.4 million conversations, according to the nonprofit organization, which offers free support 24-7 via text message.  In a new report, Crisis Text Line found a higher volume of nearly 3,000… Source link

(Photo: Costfoto/Barcroft Media via Getty Images) The everything rally of the last several months may be getting a lift from an unexpected source: federal stimulus money. A new Yahoo Finance–Harris poll finds that 9% of people expecting to get a $1,400 stimulus check plan to invest some of the money in traditional assets such as stocks, while 7% plan to use the money to buy cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. Young investors are even more willing to gamble. Among 18- to 24-year-olds, 19% plan… Source link

President Trump lost California by a margin of nearly 30 percentage points to Joe Biden last fall. But four Republicans not only won their congressional districts in California but also flipped their districts red. Among them, Representative Young Kim, one of the first Korean American women elected to the House. She’s a Korean immigrant, a mother of 4 and one of Yahoo Finance’s The Next: 21 to watch in 2021. “I believe I’m the future of the Republican Party,” she told Yahoo Finance…. Source link
