PHOENIX — The Warriors’ 13th loss of the season, 119-116 to the Phoenix Suns, looked similar to the rest.The Suns, playing without Kevin Durant, chipped away at a 13-point lead and pummeled the Warriors into the mud in the fourth quarter shortly after Draymond Green’s third ejection of the season on Tuesday night at Footprint Center.The Warriors had a chance to tie the game up in the final nine seconds, but Steph Curry missed the fadeaway three attempt. Golden State continues to tumble below .500, moving to 10-13 on the year.There was one bright spot.

Draymond Green ejected after hitting Suns' Nurkic in face

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:31:23 GMT

(KRON) -- Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns after he struck Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face. The ejection was Green's third of the season. Green was attempting to get open for an inbounds pass in the third quarter when he turned around and smacked Nurkic in the face. He was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, which warrants an automatic ejection. Giants reportedly sign Korean star Jung Hoo Lee for $113 million Green served a five-game suspension this season after he put Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a headlock during a skirmish between the two teams. He was also ejected from a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in which he received two technical fouls. In the 2023-24 season, Green has played in 15 games. He was ejected from three of them and fouled out of a fourth. Draymond's play on the court has been great this season too. But the ejections are really putting Golden State in a tough spot. That...

(Strome) sticks his knee out there and hopefully that’s suspendable,” Bowness said Sunday. “Knee on knee, there is no other way to look at that. The referees made the correct call: five-minute major, a game misconduct and we’ll see where it goes from there.”On Tuesday, Bowness stood by his original opinion.“I respectfully disagree with the league,” Bowness said. “I still think it’...

Rishi Sunak’s Brexit deal is up and running. It’s ‘cataclysmic’ for UK food exports

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:31:23 GMT

LONDON — When Rishi Sunak signed his new Brexit deal in February, he boasted that it would deliver “smooth flowing trade within the whole United Kingdom.”But just two months after the Windsor Framework came into effect, it’s having huge unintended consequences for a key export sector, with hundreds of millions of pounds in trade now at risk.Since October this year, all meat and some dairy products moving from Great Britain to be sold in Northern Ireland — a part of the U.K. — have been required to carry “not for EU” labels. It’s meant to ensure goods aren’t moved onward into the Republic of Ireland, an EU member country.But the British government is going further.From October 2024, all meat and dairy products sold right across the U.K. will also have to include the labels — even if there is no intention to ever send the products to Northern Ireland.The requirement will be applied to more U.K. food products from July 2025. And it applies whether the food is pro...
