Once again, they'll be missing several key players, making this matchup even more challenging.

When you think about the rich history of the Oklahoma City Thunder, you can't ignore their roots as the Seattle SuperSonics. Over the years, the franchise has seen 51 different jersey numbers proudly worn by players since the team was founded at the start of the 1967-68 season. While the Sonics' jerseys may not officially remain part of franchise history if a new team emerges in Seattle—just like how the Charlotte Bobcats eventually reverted to the Hornets—right now, they are still very much a part of the Thunder's legacy.

A bold and ambitious proposal from Egypt could reshape the future of Gaza once the war ends, completely excluding Hamas from governance. A draft of this detailed plan, obtained by CNN, outlines a roadmap for rebuilding the enclave, ensuring stability, and addressing long-standing conflicts. Dubbed “Gaza 2030,” the 91-page document carries the official Egyptian presidential logo and is expected to be a focal point of discussions among Arab leaders in an emergency summit in Cairo. It will also be presented to U.S. President Donald Trump in the coming weeks, according to Jordanian sources.

The New York Giants are heading into the offseason with one clear mission: finally solving their quarterback dilemma, both for the short term and the long haul. After six years of Daniel Jones and a carousel of uninspiring options under center, the franchise is determined to make a game-changing move.

Cincinnati Bengals fans, get ready for an offseason full of tough decisions and major shake-ups. One of the biggest questions looming over the team right now is the future of veteran cornerback Mike Hilton. He’s one of those 50-50 free agents this year, and the decision to keep or move on from him could signal the direction the Bengals want to take moving forward.

The people of Gaza are already feeling the harsh consequences of Israel’s sweeping decision to halt all goods and humanitarian assistance from entering the region. Just a day after the restriction was enforced, prices of basic necessities have surged, leaving many struggling even more in an already dire situation.

The battle over presidential power and independent agencies is reaching a boiling point, with the Justice Department making a bold push to solidify control. At the heart of this legal showdown is President Donald Trump’s attempt to replace a Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) member whom he unlawfully fired—a move that underscores the irony of the situation. The MSPB was originally established by Congress to protect federal employees from political retaliation, granting its leaders long-term appointments and removal protections. Yet, in a dramatic twist, the very agency designed to shield civil servants from partisan influence is now being subjected to it.

Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, is making waves both online and in the courtroom. Known by his self-proclaimed nickname "The Eagle," Martin has taken a bold approach in his temporary role, using social media to call out crime in Washington, D.C., with the hashtag #MarchBadness. His outspoken nature and controversial moves have drawn significant attention, especially as his nomination for the permanent position of U.S. attorney for D.C. is under Senate consideration.

The Kansas City Chiefs are heading into the 2025 NFL season with a lot to prove, especially after their Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last month. One of the biggest takeaways from that game? The glaring weaknesses in their offensive line. When the stakes were at their highest, the unit simply couldn't hold up, and that’s something general manager Brett Veach is undoubtedly looking to fix in the coming months.

It was hardly a shocker, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating—Tee Higgins is staying put in Cincinnati, at least for now. On Monday afternoon, the NFL confirmed what many had expected for weeks: the Bengals have officially slapped the franchise tag on Higgins, keeping the dynamic wide receiver off the free-agent market for 2025. And for teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, who had their sights set on a potential blockbuster signing, this move stings.

The Cincinnati Bengals made a big move this offseason by placing the franchise tag on Tee Higgins for the second consecutive year, ensuring he stays with the team for the 2025 season. While that temporarily solves one wide receiver dilemma, it may have just made things even trickier on another front—securing a long-term deal with their star wideout, Ja'Marr Chase.
