Kel’el Ware posted 19 points and a career-high 17 rebounds to lead a patched-up Miami Heat squad to a 117-105 victory over the struggling Philadelphia 76ers, who dropped their 12th consecutive game. Miami (36-43) bounced back from a two-game slump, securing the win without Bam Adebayo, who was sidelined due to back spasms. The Heat are now just half a game behind the ninth-place Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference play-in race. With Adebayo out, Ware started at center and delivered his best scoring effort since March 15. His stellar rebounding performance also marked his second double-double in the last…

Novak Djokovic said reaching his first final of the 2025 season at the Miami Open reignited his drive to continue chasing more titles as the 37-year-old aims for his 100th ATP trophy during the upcoming clay season. The 24-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t won a title on the men’s tour since his ATP Finals victory in 2023, although he did capture the Olympic gold medal at the Paris Games on the Roland Garros courts last year. Djokovic’s attempt to join Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103) as the only men in the Open Era with 100 or more ATP…
Southampton manager Ivan Juric attributed his team’s early relegation to a significant gap in physicality between the Premier League and the Championship. The club’s 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday confirmed their relegation with a historic seven matches to spare, marking the earliest drop in Premier League history. Ipswich Town and Leicester City, the other two teams promoted from the Championship, are also facing relegation, with 17th-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers sitting 12 points clear of the drop zone. “What I notice the most in these three or four months I’ve been here is the completely different physicality between us and…
Ferrari’s long-awaited title push once again fell flat at the Japanese Grand Prix, with Charles Leclerc settling for fourth, Lewis Hamilton trailing in seventh, and both drivers voicing frustrations over the car’s performance. While it marked an improvement from their disqualification in China two weeks earlier due to technical infringements, the iconic Italian team remained well off the pace compared to the McLarens and Max Verstappen’s dominant Red Bull on Sunday. “There was nothing more in the car,” Leclerc said. “We did a good job with balance and strategy, but it is even more disappointing when you do everything perfectly…
Israeli troops flattened farmland and cleared entire residential districts in Gaza to open a “kill zone” around the enclave, according to a report on Monday that quoted soldiers testifying about the harsh methods used in the operation. The report, from the Israeli rights group Breaking the Silence, cited soldiers who served in Gaza during the creation of the buffer zone, which was extended to between 800-1,500 metres inside the enclave by December 2024 and which has since been expanded further by Israeli troops. Israel says the buffer zone encircling Gaza is needed to prevent a repeat of the October 7,…
All options are on the table for countermeasures by the European Union to U.S. tariffs, which should lead to talks on the matter, Swedish Trade Minister Benjamin Dousa told reporters as he arrived at a meeting of EU trade ministers in Luxembourg.
President Vladimir Putin still supports the idea of a ceasefire in Ukraine, but Russia has not yet been given answers to key questions it has about a truce proposed by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, the Kremlin said on Monday. Trump, who says he wants to be remembered as a peacemaker, has repeatedly said he wants the three-year conflict in Ukraine to end and has warned of the risks of it escalating into a world war between the United States and Russia. Putin said last month that Russia supported a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine in…
European Union ministers broadly agreed on Monday to prioritise negotiations to remove tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump over retaliation even as it prepared a first set of targeted countermeasures. The 27-nation bloc faces 25% import tariffs on steel and aluminium and cars and “reciprocal” tariffs of 20% from Wednesday for almost all other goods under Trump’s policy to hit countries he says impose high barriers to U.S. imports. Ministers overseeing trade met in Luxembourg on Monday to debate the EU’s response, as well as discuss relations with China. Many said the priority was to launch negotiations and avert an…
Britain said it would consider closing dozens of arms-length government agencies, as it looks to reform the state to make cost savings and improve productivity in what it called “a new era of global instability”. Britain has over 300 so-called quangos, or agencies and public bodies which are funded by taxpayers but not controlled directly by central government. “Every quango across government will be reviewed, with a view to close, merge or bring functions back into departments if its continued existence cannot be justified,” the government said in a statement on Monday. The statement added that in the “new era…
