David-Lee-2-1000x500

Lee’s first playoff run cut short

By: Blair Bou-Chebl, Staff Writer The Golden State Warriors’ playoff hopes may not have ended with starter David Lee’s postseason injury this year. Lee tore his right hip flexor in his first career playoff game against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Now the team must rally around the loss of a key member of their offense if they want to keep their season going. Lee ran into Nuggets center JaVale McGee late in the 4th quarter and had to be helped to the locker room after shooting his Read More→

Manimal Down

By: Blair Bou-Chebl, Staff Writer Weeks after losing Danilo Gallinari, the Denver Nuggets franchise is facing the loss of Kenneth Faried for the remainder of the regular season, if not more. In an eerily similar reaction, Faried hit the paint in the Pepsi Center, letting out an audible scream in the process, leaving Nuggets faithful in shock. While the Manimal, as he is nicknamed, has vowed to be back for the postseason, team doctors are reluctant to place a return date on the rebound and Read More→

Former NFL Players More Likely to Die from ALS, Alzheimer’s

Former National Football League players are more likely to die from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and ALS, a new study found. The study of more than 3,400 long-term players between 1959 and 1988 found the risk of death from neurodegenerative disease was triple that seen in the general population, and adds to a burgeoning body of research linking contact sports to chronic brain disease. "Our results are consistent with those from other studies," said Everett Lehman, an Continue Reading→

Orlando Magic Cheerleader Falls During Stunt

ORLANDO, Fla. – She lay strapped on a gurney on a sidewalk outside Amway Arena, still in her blue top and black spandex shorts, held in place by several belts and a white neck brace. A medic hovered over her, grabbed one of her hands and asked her to squeeze. She did. The medic asked if she was OK, and she nodded ever so slightly. She tried to move her legs and wiggled them. Then she tried to move a little more and her face contorted in pain. Her stunt partner, covered in sweat, held back Continue Reading→
