CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets will be without point guard LaMelo Ball for at least two weeks because of a strained left calf. Ball felt discomfort in his calf after Wednesday night’s loss to the Miami Heat and did not play against the New York Knicks on Friday. The team said he will be reevaluated on Dec. 11, which is two weeks from the date of the original injury. Ball has been hot for the Hornets, averaging 40.3 points in his last four games. He is averaging a career-best 31.1 points and 4.7 3-pointers per game for the season, which ranks second in the NBA. He also is averaging 5.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 18 starts. Ball has had a history of injury problems, mostly to his ankles, since coming to the league as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft. The only Hornets player to ever receive a max contract extension, Ball has played in just 202 games with 182 starts in five seasons. The team also said guard Tre Mann’s lower back soreness has been diagnosed as a disk irritation. His absence from the lineup began on Nov. 23 against Milwaukee. He will continue his rehabilitation and be reevaluated in two weeks. “They are competitors and they want to be out there on the court to compete and hoop, but they also want to be out there for their teammates,” Hornets coach Charles Lee said prior to Saturday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. "I just walked past ’Melo as I was coming in here to do media, and he’s like, ‘I’m going to take care of everything I need to do on this return to play program and I’m going to attack it with the right mindset.’ I have all the confidence in the world in our performance staff and in those guys.” AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA
VICTORIA — A Vancouver Island First Nation whose people were the first to greet European explorers in the region almost 250 years ago is taking British Columbia to court, seeking title to their traditional territories and financial compensation. Chief Mike Maquinna, a descendent of Chief Maquinna who met British explorer Capt. James Cook in 1776, says the claim in B.C. Supreme Court seeks to return decision-making, resource and ecological stewardship to the Mowachaht/Muchalalaht First Nation. He says the province has been acting as the sole decision-making authority in the Gold River-Tahsis areas of northern Vancouver Island, especially with regards to the forest resource, without the consent of his nation. Hereditary Chief Jerry Jack says the claim filed today seeks title to about 430,000 hectares of land from Friendly Cove to Tahsis in the north and Buttle Lake in the east, and an undisclosed amount of financial compensation. Jack says the land title case does not make any claims against private land owners, home owners or recreational hunting and fishing operators. Jack says the First Nation decided against pursuing formal treaty talks with the federal and provincial government years ago and has been planning the land title court case "for many decades." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 12, 2024. Dirk Meissner, The Canadian PressPaddy Davitt delivers his Portsmouth verdict after Norwich City’s battling Championship point. 1. Not pretty, but pretty effective Now we know. Norwich and Johannes Hoff Thorup can do pragmatism as well as possession. This was a raw-boned game of Championship cut and thrust. Thorup himself called the fayre 'terrible'. Low on quality but rich in endeavour and character and fighting spirit from the Canaries. Commodities that were brought into question by the limpness of that 3-0 weekend defeat at QPR and the defensive vulnerability exposed at set pieces. At times this had the feel of a cup tie, with the ball a bystander. When Callum Doyle sensed the danger at his back post, in the first of six additional minutes, heading behind as the blue shirts sensed a big opportunity, he punched the air with all the lustre that greeted his thumping goal against Watford earlier in the season. It was a night for righting a few wrongs. Even the normally ice-cool Thorup cut an animated figure in the tight confines of the two dugouts, particularly in a heated exchange or two in the first half with the fourth official. Norwich can and will play much better this season. But they might struggle to derive as much satisfaction from the manner they ground out a point at a raucous, febrile Fratton Park. Particularly given the fresh blast of adversity that hit them prior to kick-off. 2. ‘Fair or not fair’ Glen Riddersholm did not explicitly reference the FA’s decision to hit Kenny McLean with another four-game ban for violent conduct for an alleged incident not recorded, so presumably not seen, by the officials at QPR. But the timing of his social media post, which came between official confirmation of the news and kick-off at Fratton Park said it all. McLean cut a crestfallen figure as he trooped off the team bus. There was a consoling hug from Thorup as they got a first sight of the pitch. Incredibly, the Scottish international will have missed eight games by the turn of the year. Irony of ironies, the first game he is available again will be QPR’s spicy Carrow Road return. City’s appeal was rejected out of hand on Tuesday afternoon. The brief time it took to be dismissed would only add to that ‘frustration’, which Riddersholm urged those inside and outside the club to use as ‘fuel’. It would seem, on face value, grossly unfair for the Scot to suffer a three-game ban, and the further one game uplift related to his previous red card misdemeanour against Middlesbrough, for an alleged altercation with a QPR midfielder midway through the opening period that ‘wasn’t seen by the match officials at the time, but it was caught on camera’. Thorup made it clear in his first public post-match utterances on the matter he expects a raft of retrospective calls to come now in the Championship with precedent set. Given the Ante Crnac offside call, the clear penalty for handball and the foul on Angus Gunn in the build up to QPR’s second goal, the football authorities appear to have meted out rough justice. While other actors escape any such forensic scrutiny of their performance. Although it may be worth checking where the QPR match officials find themselves posted this coming weekend. But if Riddersholm’s clarion call is heeded, and that sense of unfairness lingers, there might be one positive to grasp. 3. Solid citizens In the midst of Thorup’s takedown of his players struggles at QPR this always felt like a night to restore Jose Cordoba to the first XI. Hamstring issues have hindered the Panamanian centre back, but his sheer size and presence looked like invaluable elements for another arm wrestle of a Championship contest. Cordoba slotted in alongside Shane Duffy, who similarly possesses the physical attributes to handle the earthier dimension of combat in the second tier. There was a dramatic decrease in the ball-playing requirements of the two Norwich centre backs at Fratton Park and a marked reduction in the slip passing involving Angus Gunn that had previously been the hallmark of Thorup’s deep build up play structure. This was a night to head it, kick it and deal with the Pompey barrage from set pieces. Neither was found wanting, although Duffy’s rashness earned him a needless first half booking in a flurry of yellow cards, as City strived to prove collectively they can mix it as well as manoeuvre opponents off-balance with the sureness of their possession. On this wintry night, and after the events at Loftus Road, Duffy and Cordoba were the perfect pairing. Duffy has shown enough already this season he has an understated passing range, go back to the third goal against Luton last time out at Carrow Road, while Cordoba looks equally comfortable on the ball. Rather than horses for courses, and needs must, the duo may have put down a marker for a more lasting union. 4. Over to you, Lunghi Without second guessing Thorup, his compatriot may have been the main beneficiary to the late, McLean-enforced switch to the City starting line up on the south-coast. A fair assumption given Jacob Sorensen had been dipped out since that comprehensive Plymouth win, minus his initial passing error that led to the Pilgrims’ solitary goal on the night, and the return to fitness of Marcelino Nunez. But with McLean now missing until the turn of the year, the 26-year-old looks the nearest carbon copy. In truth, he has never exhibited the dynamism and drive or the sheer athletic output of McLean during a City career which has, for the most part, hovered around the margins. He will not command the same contractual headlines as Gunn or Grant Hanley, or even Ashley Barnes, but Sorensen is another approaching the final months of his current deal. Albeit the Canaries retain a further year option. But to trigger that extension Sorensen may feel this is now his time to press his case. He was pitched into deep water, when McLean was previously suspended and injuries bit hard for those tough defeats to Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City. That felt harsh to judge a player who had been sidelined for so long and was then thrust into emergency action. But he has had match minutes and training weeks since to come to the boil. Norwich will need Sorensen’s composure and his ability to read the game, allied to a layer of protection for the Canaries’ back four. Not only does his team need him, but he needs to deliver.Arsenal: Mikel Arteta makes January transfer window admission as injury crisis deepens

Inside UKs binge drinking hotspot where drunk revellers have sex al fresco, run into car washes & flash their t**sMartinez had gone eight matches since last finding the back of the net against Venezia on November 3 but after Alessandro Bastoni opened the scoring in the 54th minute, the Argentina international struck in Sardinia. The Inter captain took his tally against Cagliari to 10 goals in as many games after 71 minutes before Hakan Calhanoglu capped an excellent night for the visitors from the penalty spot a few moments later. Inter’s fifth-successive league victory led to them temporarily leapfrogging Atalanta, who reclaimed top spot but saw their lead cut to a single point following a 1-1 draw at Lazio. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side were grateful for a point in the end after falling behind to Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s first-half strike, only drawing level with two minutes remaining thanks to Marco Brescianini. Lautaro Valenti’s last-gasp strike condemned rock-bottom Monza to a 10th defeat in 18 matches as Parma edged a 2-1 victory, while Genoa defeated Empoli by the same scoreline.
