He had been dealing with a thumb issue since late December, frequently having it wrapped during games, but aggravated the injury when Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic swatted Murray-Boyles' hand on a play under the rim on Jan. 18. Murray-Boyles blocked Doncic three times in the same game. The 20-year-old is averaging 21.5 minutes, 7.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.6 stocks over 37 games this season.
Trailing 68-65, New York's star big man picked up his fourth foul during a futile afternoon in which he was forced to guard Sixers star Joel Embiid for significant stretches just 1:36 into the third quarter. While Embiid scored 38 points with 11 rebounds, Robinson's second-half introduction turned the game on its head in the Knicks' favor. The visitors immediately went on a 25-9 run in which Robinson helped hold Embiid scoreless for that entire stretch.
"We've been in the midst of a pretty rough stretch and it's not about just one game right now. There's got to be a continual pursuit for us getting better and growing," swingman Landry Shamet said. "So, fourth-quarter blowout, cool, whatever. It's an opportunity against a talented NBA team to build and grow on some of the things that we're trying to grow on and get better at. So kudos to our guys continuing to carry the standard and finish out the right way."
New York has inaugurated a brand-new mayor, but investigators and prosecutors will be processing the wreckage of Eric Adams's scandal-plagued administration for years to come. The mountain of corruption seems to be far taller and stinkier than was generally known, and the ex-mayor has been busy adding new offal to the heap. Just last week, Adams called reporters to Times Square, where he began hyping a digital asset called the NYC Token.
NEW YORK -- Max Christie scored a season-high 26 points, Cooper Flagg had 18 in his first pro game at Madison Square Garden and the Dallas Mavericks rolled to a 114-97 victory Monday over the New York Knicks, who were booed frequently in the first half while falling behind by 30. The Knicks lost their fourth straight and ninth in 11 games, even with Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart back from ankle injuries to return them to full strength.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani used his Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) on Monday to push back against warnings that his plan for higher taxes on wealthy New Yorkers would drive them out of the city, arguing that city leaders have ignored what he described as a more concrete and damaging population loss. When I speak about how the wealthiest in this city should pay a little bit more in taxes, I am often told about a potential exodus, Mamdani said.
Private property including and kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as 'wealth building' public policy,
You can fight harder, win more, and build a broader coalition when you approach politics as a team sport. When I joined the City Council, we teamed up with the Working Families Party and other allies to create the Progressive Caucus-to bring in the workers, tenants, and community leaders that did not previously have a home in the Council to partner in campaigns for dignity for all New Yorkers. And we did well. We banned stop-and-frisk and strengthened protections for tenants against eviction.

The event was much anticipated as blood sport, a showdown between a young communist and an old despot, to use their favored insults for each other. Instead, the two men put on such a show of good manners that at times I had to laugh out loud at the stagecraft. After a closed-door meeting, Trump and Mamdani summoned the press, and there was Uncle Donnie seated behind his desk in the Oval Office, beaming as his favorite nephew, Zohran, stood by his right shoulder
The Miami Heat have hit their first bit of adversity this season, coming off two straight losses while the team patiently awaits the returns from their All-Star duo of Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. Although they are making progress, the Heat need to prepare for a little while longer without them. Their depth needs to prove that they can keep things afloat in the meantime, and they are in a perfect opportunity to bounce back for Monday night's matchup.
Jack Hu, an organizer of the anti-casino movement and lifelong resident of Flushing, alleged the committee only voted in support of the casino because members "took lobbying dollars from Metropolitan Park." He said the developer "manufactured consent" from the committee and made it appear as though the community is fully in support of the casino despite the overwhelming opposition demonstrated during the Nov. 16 protest.
