Ex-Jazz coach Quin Snyder praises Royce O’Neale’s versatility for Nets

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:50:59 GMT

Nets veteran forward Royce O’Neale spent the beginning of his NBA career as a longtime starter for the Utah Jazz. The 29-year-old and his former head coach Quin Snyder — who replaced Nate McMillan as head coach of the Atlanta Hawks in late February — reunited ahead of tipoff between the Nets and Hawks at Barclays Center on Friday.The Nets acquired O’Neale as part of last summer’s tumultuous off-season, reading the Utah Jazz a first-round pick for O’Neale, who helped add depth, defense and perimeter shooting to a team built around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in pursuit of a championship.The Nets kept O’Neale on the team even after the trades that sent Durant and Irving out West. He now comes off the bench after starting most of the season, and it’s his versatility his former coach heralds — noting times he used O’Neale as a defender against two-time MVP Nikola Jokic in matchups against the Denver Nuggets — as what ma...

MassGOP leader: Trump indictment was ‘politically motivated’

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:50:59 GMT

MassGOP Chair Amy Carnevale said the indictment of former President Donald Trump was “politically motivated,” and rather than hurt his campaign, will embolden him as he seeks the 2024 Republican nomination.Further, Carnevale said the charges against Trump, who was indicted by a Manhattan Grand Jury in the Stormy Daniels hush-money case, won’t change the minds of any Republican voters, as most already have a strong view about whether they support the former president or another candidate.“The charges stem back to what, at the time, was a misdemeanor offense for which the statute of limitations expired,” said Carnevale, who was a Trump delegate in 2016 and 2020. “So to have a DA in Manhattan kind of try to elevate these charges at this time seems politically motivated.“I’m hearing from a lot of grassroots Republicans that they want to rally around President Trump at this time. So, I think the effect of this prosecution and indictment is really going to have the unintended consequence ...

Mets Notes: Tylor Megill joins team in Miami after Justin Verlander’s injury

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:50:59 GMT

MIAMI — Tylor Megill went from being the New York Mets’ Opening Day starter in 2022 to the Syracuse Mets’ Opening Day starter in 2023. Or so he thought, but things can change quickly in baseball and they sure did for the Mets this week.Triple-A Syracuse starts its season Friday night and Tony Dibrell is on the mound instead of Megill, who is in Miami with the Major League club. The Mets made the roster move official Friday placing right-hander Justin Verlander on the injured list with a low-grade teres major strain and recalled Megill.The right-hander will take Verlander’s Saturday start against the Miami Marlins and his start next week against the Marlins at the Citi Field opener.“A lot of emotions and whatnot, but things don’t change,” Megill said Friday at LoanDepot Park. “Come up here and compete. Do your best.”The Mets backdated the transaction to March 28, so Verlander would be in line to make his start the third time throu...

Red Sox notebook: Garrett Whitlock dominates in brief Triple-A Opening Day start

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:50:59 GMT

WORCESTER –– It was Minor League Opening Day in Worcester on Friday afternoon, but the Triple-A WooSox game was more major than minor.Six of the nine hitters in Friday’s lineup have already made their major league debuts: Jarren Duran, Bobby Dalbec, Jorge Alfaro, Daniel Palka, Niko Goodrum and Greg Allen.Palka and Allen each had two-hit games, and each contributed a home run; Allen’s fourth-inning grand slam opened the floodgates. By game’s end, the WooSox had beaten the Syracuse Mets, 11-2, despite both teams collecting 10 hits.Garrett Whitlock headlined the show.A Rule 5 steal from the Yankees, Whitlock went four innings, and allowed one run (earned) on six hits, walked one, and struck out six. His velocity sat in the mid- 90s, but dropped a few mph lower as the outing went on.He’d thrown 63 pitches over four innings in his last outing in Florida, so the Red Sox were hoping for five on Friday. Pitch count, 75 to be exact (50 for strikes), limited him to fou...

Jazz coach Will Hardy cherishes experience, friendships from lone season with Celtics

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 21:50:59 GMT

Will Hardy only spent one season in Boston as the Celtics’ top assistant coach, but he admitted how unusual his return to TD Garden on Friday night was.It was only about nine months ago that Hardy – who’s now a first-time head coach with the Jazz – was in the trenches with the Celtics in their run to the NBA Finals. Now, for the second time in the matter of two weeks, he found himself coaching against them.“I far much enjoy playing in this building when you’re wearing a Celtics uniform than the other way around,” Hardy said prior to Friday’s matchup. “Tonight’s going to be weird.”And not only because of the setting. Hardy took away many things from his short stint in Boston. Among them were the long-lasting relationships he made inside the Celtics organization and the coaching staff, especially Joe Mazzulla. After sharing the same bench together last season, the two found themselves coaching against each other as the two youngest head coaches in the NBA.Hardy acknowledged ther...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Family and friends of Evelyn Dieckhaus, one of three children who were killed in a school shooting in Nashville this week, remembered her Friday as a “shining light” and said farewell to a girl who loved art, music, animals and snuggling with her older sister on the couch.The funeral at the Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville’s Green Hills neighborhood was closed to the media. Before the service, the church’s senior minister, the Rev. Clay Stauffer, echoed what Evelyn’s family has shared about her.“She was a shining light. She was radiant,” Stauffer told The Associated Press. “I think our challenge is to take her light and keep spreading it to a world that has so much darkness and pain.”Evelyn’s was the first funeral held for the victims of Monday’s mass shooting at The Covenant School, where authorities say a 28-year-old former student killed six people before being shot and killed by police. The church is a couple of miles from th...
