Philadelphia's Joel Embiid scored 31 points and pulled down 12 rebounds in his return after missing seven games to spark the 76ers on Sunday in a 108-100 NBA victory at Chicago. Embiid had been sidelined by a left knee injury and personal reasons since a November 20 loss to Memphis, the Sixers going 4-3 in his absence. The 30-year-old Cameroonian-born big man, who wore a left knee brace, also added four assists and two blocked shots in 33 minutes in only his fifth game of the season. "He caught fire there," 76ers coach Nick Nurse said of Embiid. "Certainly he gave us a lot of confidence." Philadelphia guard Tyrese Maxey contributed his first career NBA triple-double with 25 points and career highs of 14 assists and 11 rebounds. "It was good," Maxey said. "The offense flowed really well. Pick and roll was really good. I was able to get everybody involved, get Joel going and get myself going too." "He turned on the jets and got to the rim at some pretty opportune times," Nurse said of Maxey. Embiid was a welcome court presence for the 76ers. "He creates so much space for us on the floor, gets the attention," said Maxey. "I didn't see one pick and roll double team for the first time in a long time." Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 30 points. At New York, Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Bucks over the Brooklyn Nets 118-113. Damian Lillard added 15 points and 11 assists while reserve Bobby Portis contributed 23 points and Gary Trent Jr. scored 20 off the Milwaukee bench. Germany's Dennis Schroder led the Nets with 34 points. js/mlmBrock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders moved past Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Ditka on Sunday to set the NFL record for most receiving yards by a tight end in his rookie season and also set the record for most receptions by a rookie, regardless of position. Bowers has 108 receptions to top the mark set last season by Puka Nacua (105) of the Los Angeles Rams. Bowers' yardage stands at 1,144 after having seven receptions for 77 yards in a 25-10 road victory over the New Orleans Saints. Bowers also set a franchise receptions for catches in a season, surpassing Darren Waller (107 in 2020). "It's awesome," Bowers said of the records in a postgame interview on Fox. " You never know what to expect coming up to the next level. It's been everything and more." Bowers' third catch on Sunday -- a 13-yard grab late in the second quarter against the Saints -- pushed his season total to 1,087 yards. Ditka totaled 1,076 receiving yards in 14 games with the Chicago Bears in 1961. Bowers, 22, set the record for receptions by a rookie tight end earlier this season by eclipsing the total of 86 reeled in by Sam LaPorta of the Detroit Lions in 2023. Bowers was selected by the Raiders with the 13th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. Despite all his catches, he has just four scoring receptions. While with Georgia, Bowers was the first back-to-back winner of the Mackey Award (2022, 2023), which is given to the top tight end in college football. --Field Level MediaMiami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle are inactive for Sunday's matchup against the host Cleveland Browns. Tagovailoa was limited all week due to a hip injury and was downgraded to doubtful on Saturday afternoon. Waddle, in turn, was questionable to play versus the Browns after being limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. Tyler Huntley is expected to start under center for the Dolphins (7-8), who are fighting to stay in playoff contention and need a win against the Browns (3-12) to stay in the mix. Huntley, 26, has started three games this season for the Dolphins while Tagovailoa was out before suffering a shoulder injury. Huntley was 39 of 66 (59.1 percent) for 377 yards, one TD and one pick. He also ran 16 times for 67 yards and a score. Tagovailoa already has missed four games this season because of a concussion while starting the other 11. He is 291 of 399 (league-best 72.9 percent) for 2,867 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Waddle, 26, has 54 catches this season for 700 yards and two touchdowns. In addition to Tagovailoa and Waddle, linebackers Anthony Walker and Mohamed Kamara, cornerback Nik Needham, offensive lineman Andrew Meyer and wide receiver Erik Ezukanma are inactive for Sunday's game. For Cleveland, Jameis Winston will serve as the emergency third quarterback. Wide receiver Cedric Tillman, cornerback Chigozie Anusiem, defensive end Ogbo Okoronkwo and tight end David Njoku also are inactive for the Browns. --Field Level Media

Australia has broken ranks with the United States in its voting alignment at the United Nations as three key resolutions on a Palestinian statehood were put to members on Wednesday. The first and most significant motion was on the creation of a permanent and “ irreversible pathway ” to a Palestinian state to coexist with Israel. Australia voted for the “peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine” along with 156 other nations, with eight voting against, including the US, Hungary, Argentina and Israel, and seven nations abstaining. On the second motion, which pertained to Palestinian representation at the United Nations, Australia abstained. Contrary to anticipations, Australia voted against the third motion to condemn Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights. Australia’s UN Ambassador James Larsen said a two-state solution was the “only hope” for lasting peace. “Our vote today, reflects our determination that the international community again work together towards this goal,” he said. “To that end, we welcome the resolution’s confirmation, that a high level conference be convened in 2025 aimed at the implementation of a two-state solution for the achievement of a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.” Sky News senior political reporter Trudy McIntosh said it was a “stark contrast” to the US’ remarks at the conference. The US ambassador said the resolutions were “one sided” and would not advance enduring peace in the region. “They only perpetuate long standing divisions at a moment when we urgently need to work together,” the US representative said in a statement. Liberal Senator and former Israel ambassador Dave Sharma said Australia’s drift from supporting the Jewish state in lockstep with the US was “disgraceful”. Mr Sharma said he thought the fundamental cause for Australia’s shift in voting was due to the “growing domestic political movement” which was targeting the government’s support for Israel. “People who are now saying Israel should withdraw from the occupied territories will remember Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. They’ve out of there for almost 20 years. What do they get in return? They got Hamas,” he said. “They got the terrorist attacks of the 7th of October. They got a huge amount of insecurity, which is she talking massive conflict in the Middle East because of that indulgence of fantasy, this idea that you could just hand the case to someone and it didn't matter who. “This is quite a dangerous mindset to be pursuing. It's the triumph of utopianism over reality.” Deputy opposition leader Sussan Ley said the government’s stance on Palestine could “make a difference” to the US, Australia’s strongest ally. “How is this not rewarding terrorists at this point in time?” Ms Ley said. “This fight is not going to make any difference to peace in the Middle East, but it could make a difference to our relationship with the US, our strongest ally.” Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said there was “no doubt there will be divisions” with US president-elect Donald Trump in the coming years if Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is re-elected. "There's no doubt there's going to be some divisions there and Donald Trump, in his first phone call, said, 'we're going to have the perfect friendship', or it's going to be a friendship with a lot of a lot of tensions in it," he said. "If Albanese is re-elected, that first Trump meeting, that will be a hell of a trip to go on, I've got to say, because anything could basically happen." Clennell said the Israel-Palestine matter could become an election issue, despite foreign policy usually being bipartisan in Australia. "If you look at the juxtaposition between Peter Dutton travelling to see Benjamin Netanyahu and the Australian government backing a court which says it would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if he came here, it really is extraordinary stuff," Clennell said.Gordon Brown comes out against assisted dying in major blow to bill
Kenny Pickett is making preparations to start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17. Jalen Hurts suffered a concussion in the Eagles’ loss to the Washington Commanders last weekend, which led Pickett to play most of the game for Philly. If Hurts is unable to clear concussion protocol ahead of Sunday’s game, then Pickett would be in line for the start. Pickett suffered an injury to his ribs in Week 16 but said Thursday he would be ready for action, though he would make some adjustments with his padding. “Tested out some different things padding-wise. I’ll just make sure I feel good with it for Sunday,” Pickett told reporters. “I’ll be ready to go for Sunday.” Pickett said that after having some rest and rehab time, he will be better. Pickett went 14/24 for 143 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Eagles’ 36-33 loss to the Commanders. He rushed 3 times for 13 yards. That was the first significant action of the season for the third-year QB. Pickett is in his first season with the Eagles. The former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick was limited in practice on Wednesday but was a full participant on Thursday, which is a good sign of his progress ahead of Sunday’s game against the 7-8 Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles are 12-3 and can clinch the NFC East with a win against Dallas.

GREENSBORO — When former President Jimmy Carter announced he had cancer in 2015, Kari Baumann was among people from around the country to flock to Carter's Sunday school class at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia. “He had on a coat and a bolo tie and slacks,” said Baumann, who was a member of Greensboro's College Park Baptist Church at the time and is now pastor to children and families there. “He taught about forgiveness.” The class was held in the church's sanctuary, which was overflowing, and Carter took pictures after regular services were over with anyone who asked. Baumann had already read all his books. “I think that mostly what I walked away with was the humility of someone who had such an impact on our nation,” Baumann said in February of 2023. Kari Baumann of Greensboro with Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter at their Plains, Ga. church. Baumann said she was most impressed by the former president's humility. The country's 39th president, who had been a preacher at heart, died Sunday at the age of 100. North Carolinians who had brushes with the world leader who lived out his life post-presidency through his faith and public service shared those memories earlier this year after Carter decided to transition to hospice care. People are also reading... "He was one of the only people I've met who had enough and knew it, so he and Rosalynn could wake up every day and focus on doing the next right thing," said Gary Gunderson, who oversees spiritual-care services at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in Winston-Salem. Gunderson, who worked for Carter to start the Interfaith Health Program in 1994 that collaborated with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization to partner with faith communities on health issues, said Carter was a "practical visionary" with a sense of moral urgency. "Where others would think of months, he'd ask, "Why not 4 p.m.?" Gunderson said. The oldest living American president until his death, Carter visited the Triad numerous times during his 1976 presidential campaign and later, including a 1989 trip to Elon University on its centennial, where he met members of the campus Habitat for Humanity chapter. He had earlier partnered with the national Habitat group to build and promote affordable housing. "We all thought, and I think it's true, that he only came because we had a Habitat chapter," joked John Barnhill, one of the founding members of the chapter. Former President Jimmy Carter talks to the media during a press conference at Elon College's Fine Arts Building before he spoke at convocation ceremonies at the campus on April 25, 1989. Barnhill remembers watching Carter getting out of his motorcade at a house the group had been refurbishing. "He took off his suit jacket and rolled up his sleeves and wanted to meet every person," Barnhill said. "I remember him reaching up to Brinkley (then a young boy on someone's shoulder), saying, 'Hey, I'm Jimmy.' He was as gracious as he could be." Barnhill was president of the chapter that year, and in a playful moment one of the other members stepped forward and said, "Mr. President, I'd like to introduce you to Jimmy Carter." Barnhill stepped in front of Carter. "And he's standing there with this big smile," Barnhill said of Carter, who got the joke. "It was one of those magical moments that stay with you." Carter did not take part in any Greensboro or Winston-Salem Habitat builds over the years, but he helped expand the ability of Habitat families to have homes of their own. "We have certainly benefited from his involvement and the increased visibility he brought to the organization," said Christine Byrd of neighboring Habitat Humanity of Greater Greensboro. "He will be greatly missed." As a presidential candidate, Carter saw small towns and burgeoning cities like those in the heart of North Carolina as the route to the Democratic nomination. And those who showed up at his rallies saw a genuineness that would earn him votes. The future president’s visit to Hickory while a candidate included a stop in Morganton where he burst into fluent Spanish to the surprise of a Morganton crowd and accepted a basket of peanuts from a Girl Scout "that are about as good as the ones I grow," according to the Hickory Record's reporting from the time. He then went to Hickory where he addressed a crowd at Lenoir-Rhyne University — then known as Lenoir-Rhyne College — estimated at 1,600 people. Another Hickory resident, Doug Auer, also noted the significance of having a candidate from the South. During the 1976 election cycle, Auer was at two events with Carter in his role as a member of the Democratic Party committee of Tompkins County in upstate New York. Auer said people who lived in the Northeast were arrogant about the South. They did not think much about the South, and their perceptions were shaped by television shows such as "Hee Haw," he said. Carter helped to challenge some of those preconceptions, Auer said. Former News & Record reporter Jim Schlosser was assigned to follow Carter several times as a candidate and as president. “He always had that big smile and everywhere he went in High Point, people seemed to like him,” Schlosser remembered of a 1976 campaign visit to that city. “You had the feeling that he was going to win, and he did.” Schlosser also got a closer view than most of the president during the Democratic National Convention and while being on the other side of a closed-door meeting between the president and North Carolina Gov. Jim Hunt at the White House. “Everyone used to call him a peanut farmer (as a slight), but he was very educated,” Schlosser said. Yet he wasn't above being a peanut farmer, Gunderson said. "He was a nuclear scientist, governor and president, but also a deacon who was not above mowing the lawn of his church, " Gunderson said. As president, Carter was said to be shocked by the 1979 Klan-Nazi shootings in Greensboro and ordered an investigation into the deaths of five demonstrators shot and killed by members of the Ku Klux Klan and American Nazi Party. It was a story Schlosser also covered. "The resurgence of the Klan, not only in the South but other parts of the country, is a matter of concern to this president and this administration," White House press secretary Jody Powell said at a new conference days later. President Jimmy Carter shakes hands with the crowd after delivering an address at Wait Chapel at Wake Forest University concerning the Soviet threat, March 17, 1978. To the right of Carter is Fifth District Congressman Steve Neal. In one of his visits to Winston-Salem in 1978 as president, Carter gave a speech at Wake Forest University on defense policy. During the speech, Carter warned Americans about the threat of the Soviet Union. On Oct. 9, 1980, Carter spoke at the Dixie Classic Fair. When he arrived, parents put their children on their shoulders so the kids could see the president. The Winston-Salem State University Band played. There were local and state Democratic politicians waiting for the president to arrive. When Carter showed up at Smith Reynolds Airport, he was with then-Winston-Salem Mayor Wayne Corpening and other high-ranking Democrats. Several hundred people crowded outside the fence at the airport to catch a glimpse of the president. An issue that meant a lot to local farmers was foreign tobacco that had been designated as scrap being sold in the United States cheaper than the price the farmers got for their crop. Carter told the crowd he would order the U.S. Department of Agriculture to look into the matter and close the loophole that allowed the price difference. He later attended a $500 a couple fundraiser at Tanglewood Park Manor House where he told 600 people from across North Carolina that the upcoming election against Ronald Reagan “could be more important than how much money you make next year, or where your child goes to college. It could be more important than the quality of the automobile you buy or where you live in a neighborhood. ...” Carter left immediately after speaking and went to Smith Reynolds to fly to Tallahassee, Florida. The last time Carter visited Winston-Salem was April 25, 2009, for a regional meeting of the New Baptist Covenant, of which he was the co-chairman. He delivered a sermon during a worship service at Wait Chapel on the Wake Forest campus. While Baptists were dealing with divisive cultural issues, Carter delivered a message about the importance of Christians in general and Baptists in particular setting aside their differences to focus on the part of Christianity that matters. "In Jesus Christ, you are all children of God," Carter said. He was thoughtful as president and as a person of his faith, said Michael Usey of College Park, who met Carter when he was a student at Emory University and participated on Habitat projects that the former president visited. He respects that Carter "tried to do all the good" that he could with all the power that he had, he said. "A president cannot always turn the other cheek," Usey said, but "part of peacemaking is validating the legitimate concerns of the enemy." Usey also recalls the time when, as book editor for "Baptist Today," he wrote to Carter asking him to name his favorite book. "He told me it was, "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," Usey said of the book about the lives of impoverished tenant farmers. "I've just always admired him." Baumann likened Carter's work to a saying she had picked up from what the late author and pastor Eugene Peterson called "a long obedience in the same direction." “He would never say that he did everything perfectly, but he tried to show up and be faithful to who he believed God was,” Baumann said. “That’s what I think of every time I think of Jimmy Carter.” Bill Leonard, the founding dean of the Wake Forest University Divinity School, recalls Carter going on Bill Maher's "Real Time with Bill Maher" talk show to discuss a book he had written focusing on women and faith. "Maher started in on him and said something like, 'Well, you’ve written this book about women and Christianity, but the church has not always treated women very well,'" recalled Leonard, who was watching it on television. "Carter said something like, 'Yes, the church has not always treated women right, but Jesus did.' Maher, who makes no secret of his disdain of religion, had to change the subject." The Sunday school teacher was always prepared, Leonard said. "I always like to joke that he couldn’t deal with Jimmy Carter and Jesus that night," said Leonard, who also spent time with Carter at The Carter Center in Georgia and on the Wake Forest campus. Although Gunderson thinks Carter would have loved to have more years to do more work, he isn't surprised that Carter chose to forgo additional medical care for end-of-life care. "His decision to choose hospice care is consistent with the rest of his life — practical, wise and selfless," Gunderson said. "His choice will result in many thousands of others making this good decision in the same manner." Gunderson was speaking right after Carter made that decision in February of 2023. He died more than 22 months later, and about 13 months after the death of his beloved wife Rosalynn. "Teaching till the very end of his life with his life," Gunderson said.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is in the NFL’s concussion protocol. His status for Sunday is uncertainNBA's Christmas Day ratings skyrocket, even going up against NFL gamesThis week we’re handing over the newsletter to Paul Durica , director of exhibitions at the Chicago History Museum. In his own words, he reflects on his past year of research: “Over the last year, I have started my day by reading the Chicago Tribune, that is, the corresponding edition from 100 years ago. “The decision to read each day’s newspaper from 1924 came from a realization that two events that have meant a lot to my work occurred in the same calendar year. Those events are the kidnapping and murder of 14-year-old Robert Franks by Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb, considered the crime of the century at the time, and the passage by the United States Congress of the nation’s most restrictive piece of immigration legislation. “I wondered what else happened in 1924 and what would I learn by letting the year unfold day by day, in real time. Much from that year is still remembered, while many events, meaningful in their moment, have faded from memory. “I discovered a year that continues to shape Chicago. In many ways, we are all living in the city that came into existence in 1924. We engage with that year on the streets we walk, the buildings we enter, and the festivals and events we attend. “Despite many successes and advances, the year serves as a warning. In Chicago, crime is out of control. In Washington, corruption is rampant. And in Europe, authoritarianism is on the rise. We know what became of the people who lived through that year. What will become of those who lived through 2024 is the task of a future historian.” — Paul Durica Reader Daniel Knopfloch asked: What songs describe the city “in the best way?” Great question, Daniel.
