MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Two-time All-Star Ja Morant told reporters after the Los Angeles Lakers ousted Memphis in six games to start the playoffs in April that he had to make better decisions, knowing off-the-court issues affected the Grizzlies’ season. Now the dazzling point guard given a 25-game timeout by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is about to get a second chance to prove he really means that. Morant will talk with the media Friday after Memphis’ morning shootaround before the Grizzlies host Houston that night. It will be the first time that Morant has talked with reporters since that disappointing first-round ouster April 29. And the Grizzlies really need a boost. Morant’s suspension is one of several factors that have left the Grizzlies near the bottom of the NBA after earning the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference each of the past two seasons. The No. 2 pick overall in the 2020 draft, 2021 NBA Rookie of the Year and 2022 Most Improved Player didn’t sh...Judge says a tabloid publisher hacked Prince Harry’s phone and awards him 140,000 pounds in damages

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — A 13-year old boy from Canton, Ohio, has been charged with allegedly planning a mass shooting of a local Jewish synagogue.The teenager, who is unnamed in court documents because he is a minor, is charged with inducing panic and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. He’s accused of posting a “detailed plan to complete a mass shooting” at Temple Israel in Canton, a city south of Akron, on the live streaming platform Discord.The charges come amid a rise of antisemitism in the United States and worldwide. In the U.S. alone, antisemitic incidents rose 35% from 2021 to 2022.According to documents released by the Stark County Sherriff’s Office Thursday, an FBI agent alerted the department to the Discord posts on Sept. 7. The plans were initially posted on Sept. 1, and contained maps of the synagogue allegedly drawn by the boy and another individual in Washington state. They also included plans to burn down and “shoot up” the building.When confronted by law ...Dreary Days to Continue into this Weekend

Rain chances should increase as the day progresses.Wind gusts up to 45 mph remain forecast through Sunday morning, so a Wind Advisory is in effect for metro and coastal Miami-Dade and Broward Counties as a result.In terms of rainfall, heavy rain remains a concern, especially on Saturday, as an area of low pressure develops over the Gulf of Mexico then tracks to our north across Florida.A Flood Watch is in effect for the Florida Keys as a result with several inches of rainfall forecast.

The Belgian far-right party Vlaams Belang on Friday expelled former senator Frank Creyelman over accusations he was recruited by China to spy on Europe.Tom Van Grieken, the party’s chair, announced Creyelman’s immediate expulsion on X saying: “His actions go against the purpose and essence, even the name, of our party.” He added: “The only loyalty for nationalists can only be to their own nation.”The move follows an explosive investigation published by the Financial Times, Der Spiegel and Le Monde detailing how China’s spy agency allegedly used Creyelman over the course of three years to influence discussions in Europe on issues ranging from China’s crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong to its persecution of Uyghurs in Xinjiang.“I take that very seriously,” Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo told journalists when asked about the report as he arrived at a European Council summit in Brussels. “That would actually mean that some people are sabotaging o...Latest news
