Pacers avoid 2nd straight home-court playoff exit, routing Thunder to force Game 7

June 19, 2025

The Indiana Pacers did not let another home-court opportunity slip away Thursday night. Not with a raucous crowd on its feet almost from start to finish, not with Reggie Miller and nearly a dozen former Pacers cheering them on and certainly not with the first NBA title in franchise just two wins away. So the Pacers dug down, fought through injuries and finally played their way. They knocked down 3-pointers, forced turnovers and had the heavily gold-clad crowd doing high-fives between the third and fourth quarters as Indiana extended its season with a 108-91 victory over the the Oklahoma City Thunder. The winner-take-all Game 7 is Sunday night in Oklahoma City

NFL widows struggled to care for former players with CTE. They say a new study minimizes their pain

June 19, 2025

Dozens of widows and other caregivers for former NFL players diagnosed with CTE say a published study is insulting and dismissive of their experience living with the degenerative brain disease. An open letter signed by the players’ wives, siblings and children says the study suggests their struggles caring for loved ones was due to “media hype” about chronic traumatic encephalopathy. They called that patronizing and offensive. CTE has been linked to concussions and other repeated head trauma. It can lead to memory loss, violent mood swings and depression. The study’s authors say there was no intent to minimize the disease or the caregivers’ struggles.

Scheffler hits a perfect shot and plenty of great ones for a 62 to share lead at Travelers

June 19, 2025

Scottie Scheffler hits a lot of great shots. Rarely does he hit one he considers close to perfect. Such was the case in the opening round of the Travelers Championship. It was a 3-iron to 10 feet for eagle on his way to a 62. That’s his lowest round at the TPC River Highlands. And he shares the lead with Austin Eckroat. They were two shots ahead of a group that includes Rory McIlroy and Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley. It was a nice break from the brutal week at Oakmont for most. U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun shot 73.

Botafogo stuns Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in Club World Cup on Igor Jesus’ goal

June 19, 2025

Botafogo has stunned Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in each club’s second match of the Club World Cup. Igor Jesus scored late in the first half, and the South American champions made it stand up through a tense second half while improving to 2-0-0 in Club World Cup group play. PSG hadn’t lost in any competition since May 3, but the European champions looked understandably weary at times. Jesus’ stunning score in the 36th minute was the first goal allowed since May 17 by PSG. The French powerhouse had outscored its last three opponents by a combined 12-0, winning the French Cup and the Champions League final.

Democrats in Virginia have a hefty fundraising advantage heading into November general election

June 19, 2025

Democrats in Virginia have built up a hefty fundraising advantage for their effort to reclaim the governor’s mansion in November’s general election. The fall contests are seen as a bellwether for the party in power in Washington ahead of next year’s midterms. Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA spy turned congresswoman, has a more than 2-to-1 fundraising advantage over her Republican opponent for governor, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. Both were unopposed for their party’s nominations and can pivot toward November without having to overcome a primary challenge. Virginia is one of two states that host statewide elections this year. Democrats’ outsized fundraising lead may reflect Democratic enthusiasm and the party’s ability to push voters to the polls.

Sig Sauer, faced with lawsuits over a popular pistol, gets protection in New Hampshire

June 19, 2025

Faced with mounting lawsuits over a popular pistol, New Hampshire-based gunmaker Sig Sauer has gotten protection in the form of a new state law that makes it harder to take the manufacturer to court. The law covers all gun manufacturers and federal firearm licensees regarding the “absence or presence” of certain safety features.  Supporters in the Republican-led Legislature say it was needed to help a major employer after lawsuits representing more than 70 people were filed against Sig Sauer about the design of the P320 pistol. Many of the plaintiffs are law enforcement officers from around the U.S. who say the gun can go off without the trigger being pulled. Sig Sauer denies the allegations and says the gun is safe.

Thunder on the wrong end of 36-9 run, head home for Game 7 showdown against resilient Pacers

June 19, 2025

The run lasted about 12 minutes, roughly the span of a full quarter. When it started, Oklahoma City was down by just one point. And when it ended, after a 36-9 run, plans for Game 7 were being made. There was no championship celebration for the Thunder on Thursday night — and their first chance at winning these NBA Finals was a colossal dud. Oklahoma City got blown out 108-91 by the Indiana Pacers in Game 6, sending the series back to the Thunder’s home floor for a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday night.

June 19, 2025

Jeeno Thitikul made five birdies in a six-hole stretch midway through the first round on way to a 4-under 68 to lead the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Nelly Korda shot an even-par 72 in the opening round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. That came Thursday, three days after the world’s top-ranked player reaggravated a neck injury during a practice round. Korda says she doesn’t feel pain hitting shots. But the two-time major champion says she does experience pain with rotation of her neck and that it is hard to get comfortable to sleep at night. She says it’s getting better every day. Korda trailed Jeeno Thitikul by four shots after the first round.

The top prospect of the Kansas City Royals hit both homers in lefty-lefty matchups in a 4-1 victory over the Texas Rangers. Caglianone won lefty-left matchups both times a day after sitting for the first time in the majors in part because of a left-handed starter for Texas. The 22-year-old hit a pair of solo homers. The first led off the second inning, and the second opened the ninth.

Jordan Spieth is out of the Travelers Championship with a shoulder blade injury that showed up out of nowhere. He had to withdraw after 13 holes of the first round. Spieth wonders if he slept it on wrong. But he noticed some pain during his practice session. He stopped to go to a training table to get it worked on. But it never got any better on the course. He was 5 over with no birdies through 13 holes. Spieth doesn’t plan to add a tournament before the British Open because his wife is giving birth to their third child.

June 19, 2025

Kylian Mbappe was discharged from hospital after an acute case of gastroenteritis and it is not known when he will be able to play for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup. Mbappe missed the Spanish giant’s opening game of the tournament — a surprise 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal in Miami — because of a fever. Coach Xabi Alonso said the France international was in “rough shape” and hadn’t been able to train for days. His illness casts doubt over what part he might be able to play in the monthlong tournament in the United States, with Madrid facing Pachuca in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday.

June 19, 2025

The “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City was struck by violence when a man allegedly brandished a rifle near the crowd.

But police arrested him on suspicion of murder and accused Gamboa of creating the dangerous situation that led to the protester’s death. Police also say they are investigating whether the volunteer was justified in firing his gun. A judge on Thursday granted a request by prosecutors to extend Gamboa’s detention until Monday while investigators continue interviewing witnesses.

Flooding and rock slides close heavily damaged I-40 section in Smoky Mountains

June 19, 2025

Heavy rain, flooding and a rock slide have again closed a section of the major cross country highway Interstate 40 along its narrow corridor through the Great Smoky Mountains. Engineers say they expect the road to be closed at least two weeks. The slide and flood happened Wednesday afternoon around mile marker 450 in Tennessee, just to the west of the state line with North Carolina. The damaged section is part of 12 miles of I-40 in North Carolina and Tennessee that was washed away or heavily damaged by flooding that roared through the Pigeon River gorge during Hurricane Helene in late September. Crews reopened one narrow lane in each direction in March.

June 19, 2025

Farmers, cattle ranchers and hotel and restaurant managers breathed a sigh of relief last week when President Donald Trump ordered a pause to immigration raids that were disrupting those industries and scaring foreign-born workers off the job. But the respite didn’t last long. On Wednesday, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin declared that worksite enforcement “remains a cornerstone of our efforts to safeguard public safety, national security and economic stability” and that there will be “no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals” or undermine enforcement efforts. The flipflop has baffled businesses trying to figure out the government’s actual policy.

June 19, 2025

“The Comet/Poppea” has started its five-performance run at Lincoln Center’s Summer for the City in New York. The performance is a 90-minute combination of Monteverdi’s 1643 opera “L’incoronazione di Poppea” and George E. Lewis’ “The Comet,” which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist this year. The show’s action unfolds on a spinning turntable, with an audience of 290 split into sections on opposite sides of the set on stage at the David Koch Theater. “The Comet” is based on  W.E.B. Du Bois’  story in which a working-class Black man and a society white woman believe they are the only survivors of a comet.

Who will have the 2025 song of the summer? We offer some predictions

June 19, 2025

What makes a great song of the summer? Is it an up-tempo pop banger? Something with an earworm chorus? Does it need to feature the words “summer” or “sunshine” or “California”? The Associated Press views the song of the summer as the one that takes over those warm months between June and August. And in 2025, there are a number of contenders. Those include Bad Bunny’s “NUEVAYoL,” Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild,” KATSEYE’s “Gnarly,” Drake’s “Nokia,” Addison Rae’s “Fame Is a Gun” and the viral track “Boots on the Ground” by 803Fresh.

President Donald Trump’s latest judicial pick is someone that Joe Biden almost nominated

June 19, 2025

President Donald Trump says he plans to tap Chad Meredith, a former state solicitor general in Kentucky, for a federal judgeship in the state. Meredith’s home-state senator, Kentucky’s Rand Paul,  opposed the nomination three years ago when he was almost nominated by former President Joe Biden. At the time, Paul said he would not allow the nomination to move forward because it was a “secret deal” between the White House and former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. But now, Paul says he will support the nominee. Trump made the announcement in a social media post Wednesday night.

After a whopping sale, the Los Angeles Lakers will no longer be the Buss family business

June 19, 2025

The Buss family’s decision to sell a controlling stake in the Los Angeles Lakers at a franchise valuation of $10 billion marks the end of nearly a half-century when one of the most valuable properties in the entire sports world was run by an eccentric father and his sometimes squabbling children. With high-living playboy Jerry Buss and current team governor Jeanie Buss in charge, the glamorous Lakers essentially have been the professional sports equivalent of a quirky family business for two generations. The Lakers and the Buss clan have been inextricable since 1979, but Mark Walter’s stunning purchase effectively ends this improbable era.
