Chicago Bulls look to wrap up play-in spot — and improve seeding — with Trae Young out for Atlanta Hawks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:35:31 GMT

The Chicago Bulls were handed an extra advantage in their most important game of the postseason push when Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young was too sick with a non-COVID illness to travel to Chicago for Tuesday’s game.Young was listed as out Tuesday after suffering from a stomach bug. The Hawks already were short-handed after ruling out forward De’Andre Hunter with a bone bruise and muscle strain in his left knee. But the loss of Young delivered a bigger blow to the Hawks offense, which is built around the sharpshooting guard.“Obviously he’s a great player,” Bulls coach Billy Donovan said. “I thought last game against him here we fouled him too much, but obviously he’s an elite scorer. He gets a lot of guys involved. When you lose a great player, it always hurts, but they still have a lot of pieces, a lot of personnel.”Tuesday’s game carried the highest stakes of the final stretch of the season for the Bulls. With a win, they ...

North Dakota advances suite of restrictions on trans rights

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:35:31 GMT

The North Dakota Senate has passed a series of bills that would restrict transgender people’s rights in sports, health care, schools, workplaces and daily life.Doctors would be prohibited from providing gender-affirming care to people under 18, and transgender males wouldn’t be allowed to join female sports teams in K-12 and college, under bills that passed with veto-proof majorities in the Senate and House. If the governor vetoes the bills, then the Senate and House could override his decision and turn those bills into law.Democratic Sen. Ryan Braunberger, of Fargo, said on the Senate floor that he knew he was gay since he was a boy, and laws restricting LGBTQ freedoms had contributed to his decision to attempt suicide.“I was lucky to survive that suicide attempt — to be here — but many others have not and will not,” Braunberger said. If the bills pass, then “kids like me across the state will feel like the world is against them. They’ll eventually feel like they can no...

Washington stocks up on abortion pills ahead of court ruling

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:35:31 GMT

BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — Washington state has purchased a three-year supply of a leading abortion medication in anticipation of a court ruling that could limit its availability, Gov. Jay Inslee said Tuesday.The Democratic governor said he ordered the Department of Corrections, which has a pharmacy license, to buy 30,000 doses of the generic version of mifepristone at a cost of about $1.28 million, or $42.50 per pill. The shipment arrived in late March.A two-pill combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is the most common form of abortion in the U.S. Research shows that medication-induced abortions are safe and effective. They were approved by the Food and Drug Administration over 20 years ago. The awaited ruling in a Texas lawsuit brought by a Christian group — in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision last year to strip away the constitutional right to end a pregnancy — would affect states where abortion is legal as well as those that outlaw it.“This Texas lawsuit is a clea...
