Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd expects two Mavericks players to help “pick up the slack” after Luka Doncic’s right wrist injury. On Tuesday night, Doncic, 25, sustained a right wrist sprain in the Mavericks’ 132-91 win over the New Orleans Pelicans at the American Airlines Center. The 25-year-old will be re-evaluated in one week, meaning he’ll miss at least a few games. Kidd’s expectations shouldn’t be a surprise, as he recently name-dropped two Mavericks players to reporters after the Mavericks’ practice on Thursday. Both of these players are rather intriguing due to their scoring potential. Both players could get plenty of open shots, as opponent’s defenses will focus on Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson amid Luka Doncic’s absence. Read on for the two players. Expectations Kidd is a “man of many words,” but his expectations from two Mavericks players — Jaden Hardy and Quentin Grimes, both shooting guards — are reasonable. Hardy, 22, agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract extension on October 21, 2024, and Grimes, 24, is in the final year of a four-year, $11,128,042 contract but declined to accept the Dallas’ three-year contract extension offer. As a result, Grimes will enter restricted free agency in 2025. As Irving and Thompson prepare to lead the Mavericks, Hardy and Grimes should follow Kidd’s lead and help “pick up the slack” amid Doncic’s injury absence. Doncic is an elite scorer and playmaker, but Kidd, 51, seems hopeful that Hardy and Grimes could provide depth for a short-handed Mavericks team. Doncic’s recent comments to the reporters seemingly shut down the injury-related concerns, but we’ll wait for the Mavericks’ updates from the healthcare professionals. Jason Kidd Prioritizes Kidd and the Mavericks received devastating news when Dallas’ medical staff confirmed Doncic’s right wrist sprain on Thursday. Doncic can be described as “injury-prone,” and some, if not most, of his injuries are soft tissue injuries. However, his latest injury disappointed Kidd and the Mavericks. The Mavericks entered the 2024-25 NBA season with high expectations, and they’ve started the season in a subpar manner. There’s optimism for Doncic’s injury recovery . He only missed one game — the Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder game on Sunday night — this season, at the time of writing. The Mavericks’ luck can change with the upcoming three-game road trip starting with Friday night’s game against the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena in downtown Denver. However, Kidd can update his game plan for a higher chance of success Friday night and beyond. Kidd might want to prioritize starting center Daniel Gafford, as Gafford, 26, has been delivering strong performances off the bench in recent games. However, the potential prioritization of Gafford shouldn’t discredit the other starting center, Dereck Lively II, as Lively II, 20, had a nice bounce-back game against the Orlando Magic on November 3, 2024. Dallas Makes Do It’s safe to say that Jason Kidd can’t change the past. All he can do is make do with the short-handed Dallas Mavericks ahead of the team’s upcoming three-game road trip to Denver, Miami, Florida, and Atlanta. His expectations for Hardy and Grimes might not be met, as it’s up to Hardy and Grimes and then each game’s circumstances at the end of the day, but Kidd can dream, right? In the meantime, Dallas should focus on getting past the Denver Nuggets in Denver on Friday night. The Mavericks and Nuggets are 1-1 in the NBA Cup’s Group Stage, and Friday night’s game could determine one team’s chances of advancing to the Knockout Stage. The Mavericks will be without Luka Doncic, but they’ve built some momentum this past week with a three-game winning streak.

By RANDALL CHASE, Associated Press DOVER, Del. (AP) — A Delaware judge has reaffirmed her ruling that Tesla must revoke Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick on Monday denied a request by attorneys for Musk and Tesla’s corporate directors to vacate her ruling earlier this year requiring the company to rescind the unprecedented pay package. McCormick also rejected an equally unprecedented and massive fee request by plaintiff attorneys , who argued that they were entitled to legal fees in the form of Tesla stock valued at more than $5 billion. The judge said the attorneys were entitled to a fee award of $345 million. The rulings came in a lawsuit filed by a Tesla stockholder who challenged Musk’s 2018 compensation package. McCormick concluded in January that Musk engineered the landmark pay package in sham negotiations with directors who were not independent. The compensation package initially carried a potential maximum value of about $56 billion, but that sum has fluctuated over the years based on Tesla’s stock price.Every Black Friday, there’s a number of viral products that everyone has on their Christmas wish list, and we don’t expect this year to be any different. However, not all of these popular items are going to stay in stock, and we have some insight on the ones that won’t. Black Friday is big business, and last year shoppers spent $222.1 billion during the entire holiday shopping season, according to Queue-it. Sales on Black Friday reached $16.4 billion (online and in stores), and this was a 9% increase from the year before. While it comes as no surprise that electronics are the most sought-after products of the holiday season, Queue-it said this accounts for the majority of holiday sales, jumping to $50.8 billion in 2023. Apparel, furniture, groceries and toys are the other hot sellers of Black Friday. Together, these five categories accounted for 65% of sales during the holidays last year and is only expected to grow in 2024. While many items that sell out over Black Friday are driven by a good deal, we also know that a hot product is just that — a gift that most people want to open on Christmas Day. So, here are our picks for the top 10 hot-ticket items that could sell out over Black Friday. The holidays are ripe for TV deals, and we expect shoppers to buy a ton of them in 2024, especially at Walmart. Consumers are trending toward bigger TVs and the super low-price deals over Black Friday force many models to sell out. This is especially true of popular models from Samsung, Hisense, LG and more favorites. Apple's smartwatches are a top pick among Apple fans. We’ve seen prices on the Apple Watch continue to trend downward, which was only spurred by the release of the new Apple Watch 10 in September. This pushed down prices on earlier models, with the best deals coming on the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch 9. For Black Friday, we think the prices will drop even lower and sell out due to high demand. Wireless headphones are one of the most popular products of 2024, and Beats are one of the top brands. We’re already seeing big markdowns on Beats Wireless Headphones, and we expect these price drops to continue into Black Friday. The Beats Solo3 is likely to be on sale for even cheaper than we’ve already seen, and we think they will sell out for Black Friday, with the possibility of other popular Beats headphones joining them. If you haven’t picked up a pair of Apple AirPods yet, this could be your year to do it. With Apple launching a fourth generation of AirPods earlier this year, the price on prevvious models are creeping lower. We think over Black Friday they’ll be at their cheapest price ever, with the AirPods (3rd Gen) likely to sell out. Bluetooth speakers are a must-have for many this year, and with the big sound that comes from JBL’s speakers, it’s easy to see why they might sell out for Black Friday. These popular speakers come in a variety of portable sizes and waterproof designs. We expect big deals on JBL’s top-rated Clip 5 and Flip 6 Bluetooth speaker models. One of Apple’s most sought-after products of the year was the iPad, and we saw the 9th Gen and 10th Gen models drop to their lowest prices ever. We think this year will bring some iPad bliss with even better discounts, but these deals will disappear just as fast as they arrive. We think that mega discounts on the iPad (9th Gen) and iPad (10th Gen) could cause sell outs, especially on Amazon. The Dyson Airwrap just might be the top product of Black Friday, as this is one of the rare times there’s a discount on the beloved hair styling tool. At $600, the Airwrap carries a hefty price tag, so any discount presented is a welcome surprise. But as we’ve seen in the past, any Black Friday deal on the Dyson Airwrap causes a crush of interest that’s followed by a sell out. If you’ve tried to scoop up the UGG Tasman Slippers in previous years, you already know they never stay in stock for long. As the “it” slipper of the holiday season, UGG’s Tasman sells out multiple times over the holidays, even without a discount offered. We think that this year will be similar, with popular sizes and colors of the Tasman Slipper snatched up fast over Black Friday. The Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner is a popular home product that just can’t seem to stay in stock. With prices falling under $90, this mighty machine can be a blessing for pet owners and parents, as its compact size makes it easy to store and use when needed. We’ve seen the Little Green Machine sell out before, and we’d be surprised if it didn’t do it again over Black Friday. We’d be remiss if we didn’t include a top toy that we think will be hard to find and gift this year. Our pick is the Furby Galaxy Edition. This glow-in-the-dark Furby is based on the original Furby from the late ’90s with even more features, interactive modes and more fun. Making a comeback in 2023, we saw the revival of this popular toy sell out last year, and we expect the new Furby Galaxy Edition to do the same.
The U.S. unveiled new restrictions on China’s access to vital components for chips and AI, escalating a campaign to contain Beijing’s technological ambitions but stopping short of earlier proposals that would have sanctioned more key Chinese firms. The Department of Commerce slapped fresh curbs on the sale of high-bandwidth memory chips made by U.S. and foreign companies, likely affecting South Korea’s SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics as well as Idaho-based Micron Technology. Those components handle data storage and are essential for AI applications. The agency also expanded existing controls on chipmaking gear, including products made by U.S. firms at foreign facilities, but with carveouts for key allies, such as Japan and the Netherlands. That comes after months of negotiations between Washington, Tokyo and the Hague, during which Biden officials floated — but ultimately did not pursue — applying U.S. controls to companies like Tokyo Electron and ASML Holding NV.Elon Musk shares picture of German attacker's Twitter account; says "important thread to understand ..."FORT FRANCES — As the month of November draws to a close, a special tea helped continue the mission of raising awareness around women's abuse in the Rainy River District. As part of the national Shine the Light Campaign, a Tea and Scones Fundraiser was held at Curvy Chick Boutique Tea and Event room in downtown Fort Frances on Nov. 15, which marked Wear Purple Day. The campaign, event, and Wear Purple Day are all in service of raising awareness around women's abuse and bringing solidarity to those who have or are currently experiencing it. Jacquee Loerzel is the community family violence counsellor for Riverside Community Counselling Services, and has been one of the leading figures in the annual campaign in the district for several years. She noted that the tea fundraiser held at Curvy Chick by owner Jennifer Horton was to give people an opportunity to learn more about the campaign and to show that sense of solidarity with others. “November is women Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month, and we’re doing our campaign called Shine the Light,” she explained. “Riverside Community Counselling Services, in partnership with the Rainy River District Women’s Shelter of Hope, we are doing the campaign for the month started at the London Abuse Women’s Center in London, and we’re just trying to provide information and awareness. November 15 is always, always the official Wear Purple Day. "Purple represents courage, survival and honour. Jen has been willing over the last few years to do some fundraisers for us. She’s always so generous with her time and we really appreciate all of her support of the campaign over the last number of years.” Loerzel said the reception to the campaign this year has been extremely positive, with dozens of people purchasing tickets for the tea in advance, proceeds going to support the Women’s Shelter of Hope, and more businesses stepping up to help spread the message. “The reception has been amazing,” she said. “Anywhere that we bring posters or we bring information, people have been so willing and interested in getting the information, taking the posters. We see many, many posters up around town. So we’re really, really appreciative of the public and all of the organizations who’s been willing to support.” Having transitioned her business from mostly apparel to a tea and event space, Horton said she felt holding a tea and scones fundraiser was a natural thing to do this year to help support the campaign. “I always support campaign,” she said. “I do different things every year. So I thought with the new spaces and doing tea and scones, it seemed like a good fit. I think we pre-sold about 50 tickets, and we’ve had some walk-ins. Maybe this will be an annual thing. I’m proud to support such a good cause and organization.” If you missed the fundraiser and wear purple day, Loerzel said there’s still an event left this month to help learn more about the issue of women's abuse. “We’re having an information sharing and gathering around intimate partner violence on November 20 at the Shaw Room at the Fort Frances Public Library Technology Centre,” Loerzel said. “I’s open to the public. We’re gonna have some refreshments, and it’s just more of a gathering to have a conversation and share information and even give support if needed.” Loerzel also noted that for any women in the district who are experiencing violence, there are organizations who are there to help them however they might need. “Our theme has always been to break the silence around that surrounds violence,” she explained. "So we really want people to know there are organizations, there are people willing to help, there are avenues that people can take. And so we want people to, if they are struggling, if they are know somebody that that’s hurting, that they know somebody needs help, to reach out to any of the organizations. There’s lots of us out there that are trying to be helpful.” Fort Frances Times / Local Journalism InitiativeDelaware judge reaffirms ruling that invalidated massive Tesla pay package for Elon Musk
