Spurs draft Wembanyama and now look for French phenom to help end NBA playoff drought

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 08:07:56 GMT

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs are looking to end their four-year playoff drought with the addition of Victor Wembanyama.The Spurs selected the French phenom with the top pick in Thursday night’s NBA draft that was held in New York. There was little to no doubt San Antonio would select Wembanyama, who is listed at 7-foot-4 but says he is 7-3.An emotional Wembanyama said hearing NBA Commissioner Adam Silver call his name brought him to tears, saying he has been waiting for the moment. “I’ve dreamed of this … I got to cry.” It marks the third time in San Antonio’s 51-year history that the Spurs have held the No. 1 pick. They are hoping Wembanyama fulfills predictions that he is a generational big man and follows in the championship footsteps of the franchise’s previous top picks of David Robinson in 1987 and Tim Duncan in 1997.In four professional seasons in France, the 19-year-old Wembanyama showcased his versatility as a skilled ball handler, 3-point shoo...

Hornets select Brandon Miller over Scoot Henderson with No. 2 pick in NBA draft

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 08:07:56 GMT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets selected Alabama’s Brandon Miller with the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft, giving them an athletic 6-foot-9 wing with a smooth shooting stroke who can knock down shots from the perimeter. The Hornets chose Miller, the Southeastern Conference’s player of the year as a freshman, over NBA G League Ignite star Scoot Henderson despite some potential character questions.Miller is tied to a case that led to former Crimson Tide player Darius Miles and another man being indicted on capital murder charges. A police investigator testified in February that Miles texted Miller to bring him his gun that night. Miller hasn’t been charged with wrongdoing, though the ongoing case brought intense scrutiny during the second half of the season for Miller and the Alabama program.The Hornets targeted just two players leading up to the draft, and general manager Mitch Kupchak said the team would take the best player available instead of selecting for need.Still, M...

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 08:07:56 GMT

An equipment failure on a fishing boat recently left thousands of dead fish floating in Salem Harbor, officials said, creating a stinky situation for many in the area.SKY7-HD was over the scene on Thursday, where fish were still visible in the harbor. “I feel bad for the people that live here, this isn’t going to be fun for a little while,” said Jarod Martin, who came out to see the fish. Martin and his daughter, Devin, said they heard about the fish and wanted to check things out. “It’s pretty cool,” Devin said. “Like, this normally doesn’t happen.”According to Salem’s harbormaster, there is not a water quality issue. He also said he expects the wind to shift south in the coming days, carrying the fish out to sea. In the meantime, one woman who grew up in Salem said the smell and sight of the fish are less than bewitching. “I feel like it should be something that’s picked up just because it’s a strong odor and there are people living here,” said Brandy Cami...

Mets option Tylor Megill to Triple-A Syracuse after ugly start against Astros

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 08:07:56 GMT

The Mets optioned pitcher Tylor Megill to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.The move comes a day after Megill surrendered five runs (four earned), four walks and four hits over 2.1 innings of work in a loss against the Houston Astros on Wednesday.“It’s more so the embarrassing part for me,” Megill said after the Mets lost, 10-8, on Wednesday. “Our offense has gone out there and they’re putting up great at-bats and getting the run support. It’s the frustrating part for me — I’m not helping the team out because I’m not doing my job”The right-hander is having a rocky 2023 campaign, going 6-4 with a 5.17 ERA over 15 starts. The team hoped Megill would get on track after allowing just one run and no walks over six innings against the St. Louis Cardinals on June 16. But his subsequent performance in Wednesday’s loss to the Astros continued Megill’s trend of inconsistency that has plagued him the whole season.Tylor Megill ...

Colleagues demand justice for environmentalist slain near Mexico City

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 08:07:56 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Academics and colleagues demanded an investigation Thursday into the slaying of Mexican researcher and environmentalist Álvaro Arvizu, who was killed with an axe or hatchet earlier this month. Colleagues said the slaying appeared to be in retaliation for Arvizu’s work defending forests and water resources in the mountains that ring Mexico City. Official reports initially suggested he was killed during a robbery June 13 at an environmental educational center where he worked near the Iztaccihuatl volcano, which is not far from the more famous Popocatépetl volcano.Pedro Moctezuma, the founder of the environmental research and education center where Arvizu worked, disputed that idea. “We are certain that this was a planned, pre-meditated attack,” said Moctezuma, who is now a reseacher at the Autonomous Metropolitan University, a public institution that finances tne center.Two of Arvizu’s colleagues were badly beaten in the incident. A state official ...
