Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:21:07 GMT

All four injured Avalanche players — including captain Gabriel Landeskog — are traveling with the team on its four-game road trip through California this week, coach Jared Bednar said.Landeskog (knee), forward Artturi Lehkonen (finger), defenseman Josh Manson (lower body) and backup goalie Pavel Francouz (lower body) have all been skating individually recently, though they’re all progressing at different rates. When asked if there’s a chance that any of them play during the California road swing, Bednar said, “We’ll see.” He deflected when asked who is closest to a return.Landeskog still seems to be a ways off, judging by his recent skating sessions. The captain has made progress since he first got back on the ice Feb. 21, but he’s still mostly doing individual work and slowly starting to test his leg more during stop-start exercises with skills coach Shawn Allard. The Avalanche have no expected timeline for Landeskog’s return.Fr...

Kiz vs. Singer: Who’s the Nuggets’ toughest first-round playoff opponent?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:21:07 GMT

Question: What foe would be most dangerous for the Nuggets in the opening round of the NBA playoffs?Kiz: We interrupt the constant bickering about whether Nikola Jokic deserves to win MVP again with this message: Who cares? Jokic is worthy of the award. So is Joel Embiid. All I care is that the Nuggets win a championship in what’s left of my lifetime. This is their best shot ever. But the road out of the West will be difficult. Is there one foe we should fear above all others in the opening round of the NBA playoffs?Singer: No Giannis on your final ballot? You see this, Milwaukee? The disrespect. You’re exactly right. All three candidates are worthy, and if Joker isn’t in line to make history, with some luck, the sun will still rise in the morning. As for your more pressing question, I’m going to cheat: Denver doesn’t want to see the Lakers or the Pelicans. LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the first round, and that’s the reward for winning the West? Brandon Ingram, and the po...

L.A. County Board of Supervisors pulls plans to discuss jail depopulation

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:21:07 GMT

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Monday pulled plans to discuss a motion to begin the depopulation of local jails during their meeting this week.Supervisor Hilda Solis said her office received concerns from stakeholders, both opposed and in favor of jail depopulation. Board Chair Janice Hahn announced she is against the motion and indicated she wants more input from law enforcement groups before moving forward with any proposal.Solis and fellow Supervisor Lindsey Horvath were advocating for addressing what they call a “humanitarian crisis” at the jails. Their goal was to correct historic wrongs rooted in systemic racism and reverse responses to poverty and mental health.The plan would have reduced bail for criminals with misdemeanors and some felonies and inmates would serve time mostly under house arrest instead of behind bars.Opponents, meanwhile, said the plan to depopulate is “dangerous and reckless.”Eric Siddall, the vice president of the Association of Deputy Dis...
