Nuggets’ Michael Malone on Jamal Murray’s late-game ejection vs. Rockets: “He was getting choked”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:10:18 GMT

Not for the first time this season, the defending NBA champions have gripes with the way they’re being officiated.Tensions were already high Friday night as the Nuggets were attempting to overcome a seemingly insurmountable 25-point deficit in the last nine minutes. With an 18-0 run, they finally got a stir out of Ball Arena, a justifiably lifeless building for the first three quarters given the home team’s performance. The Rockets were perhaps tensing up a bit. This game had everything. Except a referee controversy.In the final four minutes, Jamal Murray was ejected after picking up two technical fouls in quick succession, Michael Porter Jr. was handed a technical for slamming the ball in response to a foul call, and it was a miracle Nikola Jokic didn’t get one or two of his own after he vehemently argued whistles (or the lack thereof) during his post battles with Alperen Sengun.Murray joined Jokic and coach Michael Malone in the Nuggets’ club of ejectees th...

It’s taking longer to schedule abortions in the US. Doctors fear riskier, more complex procedures

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:10:18 GMT

A woman whose fetus was unlikely to survive called more than a dozen abortion clinics before finding one that would take her, only to be put on weekslong waiting lists. A teen waited seven weeks for an abortion because it took her mother that long to get her an appointment. Others seeking the procedure faced waits because they struggled to travel hundreds of miles for care.Such obstacles have grown more common since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022, doctors and researchers say, causing delays that can lead to abortions that are more complex, costly and in some cases riskier — especially as pregnancies get further along.About half of U.S. states now have laws that ban or restrict access to abortion. Because of that, many clinics don’t offer the procedure, which has increased demand for appointments at the remaining providers. At various points since Roe, waits in several states stretched for two or three weeks, and some clinics had no available appointments, according to...
