Luka Doncic to have an MRI after leaving Lakers' game against 76ers with left hamstring injury

LOS ANGELES (AP) — NBA scoring leader Luka Doncic will have an MRI exam on Friday after he left the Los Angeles Lakers' game against Philadelphia with a left leg injury.

Doncic limped to the locker room with 3:03 left in the first half Thursday night after apparently feeling pain in his hamstring on the far end of the court moments earlier. He didn't return to the court when the second half began, and the Lakers announced Doncic was done for the night due to left leg soreness.

“He didn't feel like it was good enough to go back in (to the game),” Lakers coach JJ... Read More

Meet the man behind the Super Bowl's annual confetti blizzard

Noah Winter brags he's been to way more Super Bowls than Tom Brady.

Brady competed in 10 — more than any other player. But Winter will be part of the Super Bowl spectacle for his 30th straight year this year, not in uniform but as the guy in charge of the celebratory confetti after the game ends.

Winter's company, Artistry in Motion, also makes confetti for rock concerts, movies, political conventions and the Olympics. But the annual blizzard of color falling onto the field at the end of each Super Bowl is probably what he's best known for.

Savannah Guthrie's demand for mom's 'proof of life' is complicated in this era of AI and deepfakes

When Savannah Guthrie made a heart-wrenching plea to the kidnapper of her 84-year-old mother to send “proof of life,” she addressed the possibility of people creating deepfakes.

"We live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” she said.

Before artificial intelligence tools proliferated — making it possible to realistically impersonate someone, in photos, sound and video — “proof of life” could simply mean sending a grainy image of a person who's been abducted.
