Broken bodies everywhere: are injuries about to be declared winners of the NBA playoffs?

A host of stars have gone down with injuries this postseason. For as long as the league resists change, its players will pay the priceShould we just cancel the rest of the NBA playoffs and declare injuries the winner? They’ve already dominated this postseason far more than a team possibly could. The Oklahoma City Thunder are playing without their second-best player, Jalen Williams, after what feels like his 10th hamstring injury. In the series against the Denver Nuggets, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Donte DiVincenzo tore his achilles, and Anthony Edwards gruesomely hyperextended his knee. Wolves’ backup Ayo Dosunmu put up a heroic 43 points in Game 4, then returned to the bench two games later to nurse an injured calf. The Nuggets lost Aaron Gordon to a calf strain midway through the series and played entirely without Peyton Watson, who was sidelined by a hamstring strain.Jayson Tatum’s record-quick comeback from an achilles tear was the feelgood story of the season, at least until he hurt his leg, which ruled him out of a vital Game 7 that his Boston Celtics lost to the Philadelphia 76ers. The Los Angeles Lakers’ starting rotation lacks Luka Dončić until further notice and played four of six games against the Houston Rockets without another of their stars, Austin Reaves. The Rockets’ Kevin Durant played 78 of 82 regular season games, then missed every game of the Lakers series but one thanks to a bad knee and a bone bruise in his ankle. We of course had to save the most ridiculous injury for last: Victor Wembanyama was knocked out by the court itself after tripping on a drive and whacking his jaw on the hardwood. (He missed all of one game and wishes he could have missed zero.) Perhaps it was an omen. Continue reading...

Russia Launches Soyuz-5 Rocket in First Flight Test from Baikonur

Russia successfully launched its new Soyuz-5 medium-class launch vehicle from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Friday in the first flight test of the new-generation rocket. The Soyuz-5, equipped with what Roscosmos calls the world's most powerful liquid-fuelled rocket engine, placed a payload mock-up on a planned suborbital trajectory before it fell into the Pacific Ocean. The rocket is designed to reduce launch costs, double payload capacity to 17 tonnes, and use environmentally cleaner fuel components.
