Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:24:30 GMT

The Los Angeles Clippers are poised to sign guard Joshua Primo to a two-way contract, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.Primo, 20, was drafted as the 12th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft by the San Antonio Spurs, but was released from the team after only a single season following allegations that he exposed himself to multiple women.Among the women to come forward was Dr. Hillary Cauthen, the team's sports psychologist, who accused Primo of repeatedly exposing himself to her during therapy sessions. Those allegations led to Cauthen filing a lawsuit against Primo and the Spurs, alleging that the team did not do enough to protect her from the misconduct.That lawsuit was eventually settled out of court, according to the New York Times.

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, 81, froze twice in front of reporters last summer. Joe Biden, who is the oldest U.S. president ever, is seeking reelection at age 80.A political scientist says the measure could be an effort to create a test case for the U.S. Supreme Court to see if the court would be willing to allow states to set congressional age limits on an individual basis.“I assume that’s their goal,” said Mark Jendrysik, professor of political science at the University of North Dakota.Jared Hendrix, who is leading the effort, said “the people deserve better,” citing a recent instance ...
