SAN JOSE – The San Jose Sharks hope to soon get a better idea of when Logan Couture might be able to skate again but coach David Quinn said the team will continue to take a cautious approach with their captain, even if it means he’ll miss the season opener next month.Quinn said Monday the Sharks will see how Couture, who is dealing with an unspecified lower-body injury and is considered week-to-week, feels in a few more days before they entertain the possibility of him skating again.Couture said last Thursday on the first day of camp that the injury didn’t take place at one particular moment, but rather over time in the offseason as he began to ramp up his skating for the upcoming year. Sharks general manager Mike Grier said at the time that he first learned of Couture’s injury the week before camp began.Couture said his goal was to be ready to play on Oct. 12 when the Sharks open the season at home against the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights.

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge ruled Tuesday that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling in a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing.Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s business licenses be rescinded as punishment and said he would continue to have an independent monitor oversee the Trump Organization's operations.A Trump spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling. Trump has long insisted he did nothing wrong.The decision, days before the start of a non-jury trial in Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit, is the strongest repudiation yet of Trump’s carefully coiffed image as a wealthy and shrewd real estate mogul turne...

Report: Teen driver held in Vegas bicyclist hit-and-run killing case expected ‘slap on the wrist’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:32:37 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A teenager accused of intentionally driving a stolen vehicle into a bicyclist in Las Vegas, killing him, told a police officer after his arrest that he expected he would be out of custody in 30 days because he was a juvenile.“It’s just ah … hit-and-run,” the teen said after the Aug. 14 crash, according to a police arrest report released Monday. “Slap on the wrist.”The admission was recorded on the officer’s body-worn camera, police said, after investigators located a stolen Hyundai allegedly used in the apparently intentional crash that killed bicyclist Andreas “Andy” Probst.Probst, 64, was a retired police chief from the Los Angeles-area city of Bell. The vehicle had “major front-end damage and a broken windshield … consistent with an automobile versus pedestrian collision,” the police report said, and “fresh blood on the windshield.” The car was found abandoned with the engine running on a busy thoroughfare in northwest Las Vegas.Poli...

Bengals’ Burrow had to change his game because of calf injury. Titans D presents another challenge

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:32:37 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Burrow still wasn’t fully healthy when he took the field for Monday night’s win over the Rams. He said as much after the game.“Don’t have any setbacks — basically, that was the criteria for me,” the Bengals Pro Bowl quarterback said.Still trying to manage a persistent calf injury, Burrow had to adapt. He didn’t scramble or move in the pocket much. Short, quick passes mostly kept him out of the crosshairs of Aaron Donald and the Rams pass rush. Throws he usually makes were off target.“I was pretty cautious,” Burrow acknowledged. “I was quick to throw the ball away, but we were able to get the job done.”The Bengals were faced with the question of whether Burrow being slowed by a leg injury is still better than any of the other healthy quarterbacks on the roster. Coach Zac Taylor put his faith in Burrow, who got an assist from the Cincinnati defense, which was magnificent on a night it was needed most.Burrow was good enough to beat the Rams 19-16...

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Kim Mulkey, the coach of defending national champion LSU, is publicizing that she had two stents put in a major artery this summer as she tries to promote screening for life-threatening arterial blockages.Mulkey, 61, was not having obvious symptoms of a blockage when she asked for imaging to check on a half-decade-old disc procedure in her neck, she said in recent media interviews.That’s when a radiologist noticed what looked like arterial plaque buildup and told her to see a cardiologist, who determined there was a blockage of 95% to 99%.Mulkey had stents put in by catheter in late June and has fully resumed coaching activities, overseeing the first practice for the 2023-24 season, which was open to fans. “It’s not going to slow me down,” Mulkey told The Advocate of Baton Rouge. “I can’t do at 61 what I did at 23, but I’m good.”This summer, the Hall of Fame coach agreed to a 10-year contract worth about $32 million that would have her calling out...
