Kevin Durant Suffered A Right Knee Injury After Jimmy Butler Fell Into Him
The Brooklyn Nets have been the hottest team in the NBA for the last month, winning 18 of their last 20 games, including a 102-101 win over the Heat in Miami on Sunday night.
Leading the way has been Kevin Durant, who has returned to full blown MVP form, averaging 30.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game on a 60.9 effective field goal percentage — which is absurd considering the majority of his damage coming from the midrange. Durant has been nothing short of sensational for the Nets, which is why Sunday’s win was bittersweet as the likely All-Star captain in the East left the game and did not return with a right knee injury after Jimmy Butler got blocked on a drive and fell backwards into Durant’s leg.
The Nets say that Kevin Durant is OUT for the remainder of Nets-Heat due to a right knee injury after Jimmy Butler fell on his knee on this play.
Prayers up to KD

After the game, Nets coach Jacque Vaughn told reporters Durant would likely have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury and a timetable for his return.
Vaughn said Durant will likely get an MRI on Monday.

The MRI being tomorrow comes as little surprise, but the Nets organization and their fans will be holding their breath until the results come back. Brooklyn’s recent run has gotten them all the way to second in the East at 27-13, one game back of the Boston Celtics. That’s a remarkable turnaround from the early season woes amid plenty of off court drama, but under Vaughn’s guidance, they have settled into a tremendous rhythm and started to look like the contenders they’ve always supposed to have been.
Hopefully the injury is not particularly severe, but the most important thing for Brooklyn is Durant getting healthy for the playoffs, so one would expect them to be fairly cautious with their star whatever the injury turns out to be. Their recent hot streak affords them a cushion to be more cautious with Durant as well, although they’ll now shift more responsibility to Kyrie Irving as well as likely having to alter their rotation to bring more offensive-minded players into a larger role to ease the burden.
From a league-wide perspective, it’s brutal to see another star go down in the midst of an MVP caliber campaign, and hopefully he won’t miss significant time. It does put into question whether Durant will be able to play in the All-Star Game, or if like a year ago he’ll be a captain but have to sit out.

38 TikTok Products To Make 2023 Easier Than 2022
Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action.
Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase.
Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you’ve tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it’s like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods).
Promising review: “For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don’t). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I’m not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long pre-soak (I mean like six hours) in Oxyclean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I’ve never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don’t really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding.” —NYC Buyer

Charli XCX Replies To Hailey Bieber’s Nepo Baby Shirt
You may have noticed many people going into a tizzy over Hailey Bieber wearing a “Nepo Baby” T-shirt in an LA parking lot this week.
Yes, the daughter of Stephen Baldwin and wife of Justin Bieber weighed in on the whole ~discourse~ with a baby tee.
And then quickly changed out of it, if photos from the same day are anything to go by.
Some people loved it! Such as Gwyneth Paltrow!
Others…less so.
The Hailey Bieber nepo baby shirt picture gives nothing because she gives…nothing. She’s not personable enough to give this staged paparazzi shot for a viral moment any personality. She’s doesn’t act or sing. She gets in & out of cars in beige and black YSL & has a skincare line
Twitter: @LouisPisano
At least she respects it?
For what it’s worth, one person did directly compare Hailey’s shirt with an old Charli XCX SSENSE shirt that read, “They don’t build statues of critics.”
Twitter: @katerinalytras
For context, Charli wore the shirt the day before her album Crash dropped last March. Is this the war of the baby tees? Who can say!
A breaking story either way!!!

How Do You Feel About Allowing Stepparents To Discipline Your Kids?
Blending families is one of the hardest things to do well. People work at it for years and still struggle to get it right.
This woman’s journey is just beginning, as she has three children and is set to marry a man without children soon.
She says that he’s a good father and treats the children as his own, but that he thinks they need more discipline.
He’s taken it upon himself to provide that in the form of little “tests” to find out how they’ll “react” in certain situations.
My fiance (40m) and I (36f) have been together for 2 years.I have 3 kids from my former marriage (7), (11), & (14). My fiance loves them and treats them as his own but he constantly complains about certain behaviors and says that the kids lack “some forms of discipline”.
I never understood what he meant but mind you he’s a teacher and can take this whole discipline thing a bit far.
I noticed that he’s been doing some “tests” lately to see how they’d act in certain situations. For example, he once left his journal lying around to see if any of my kids would snoop, he also would leave money lying around to see who’d touch it. Or even lie saying “who wants skittles?” to see if any of the kids would come to him downstairs.
Things came to a head after her oldest son “failed” one of these tests, which basically include the man lying to children to see what he can catch them doing,” after which he wanted to remove privileges.
The recent one (that I wasn’t aware of til later) was yesterday. He told the kids that he lost a “dollar” from his pocket and offered 10 dollars to whoever finds it. The kids began searching the house for an hour.
My 7 & 11 year olds couldn’t find a thing, but my 14 year old went to my fiance and told him he found the dollar and gave it to him. My fiance lost it and started yelling “Aaaa gotcha now!”.
My son was confused. Turns out, my fiance didn’t lose any money and lied about the dollar to see how the kids would react.
My son obviously had “failed” because he pretended to have found the dollar but in reality he took it from his allowance and gave it to my fiance hoping to get that 10 dollars.
My fiance said that because of my son’s dishonesty and greed, he’ll punish him by taking all his allowance for the month as well as electronics being taken away for a week!.
OP says she refused to let him punish her son for that and they got into an argument about parenting and how she was undermining his authority.
I got into an argument with him and called him delusional because those mind games were getting ridiculous and besides, it’s not like my son stole anything from him, he just failed his stupid test and kids make mistakes and learn.
He still talked about how this is about principles and that he’s trying to teach my kids to become decent adults, but I thought this has gone too far. I refused to let him punish him now he’s calling me an enabler and said that this attitude won’t be of much help when we get married because it undermines his authority as a parent, and enables unacceptable behaviors from my kids.
He said and I quote “I will not tolerate having greedy and dishonest individuals live under my roof”.
Reddit has decided OP is the a$$hole here, but not for the reason you might think.
The top comment says that OP is the jerk here – for letting her kids be abused by her future husband.

This person piled on, stating that if she didn’t put a stop to it, her children probably wouldn’t forgive her.
Image Credit: Reddit
Some people were slightly kinder, saying OP sucks almost as much as her fiancee.
Image Credit: Reddit
Not to mention, the kid should maybe be rewarded for thinking outside the box.
Image Credit: Reddit
Everyone agrees that the guy has major issues and doesn’t deserve to be around children.
Image Credit: Reddit
I hope this OP takes everyone’s thoughts seriously and moves on.
Otherwise I do fear her children will never be the same.

NFL, Fans Show Support For Damar Hamlin
Ryan Magnuson, an owner of a sign shop, designed a 4-by-10-foot canvas card for fans to sign in front of the stadium on Sunday, according to the Associated Press.
“It’s been very positive. I’ve seen Bills fans, I’ve seen Patriots fans and people wearing other NFL jerseys coming up. I think this is bigger than a team thing at this point,” Magnuson told the AP. “This is for Damar.”
