LIFE WITHOUT CAP: Knicks learning to adjust, compete with Jalen Brunson out due to injury

The Knicks took their lumps on this five-game West Coast road trip. But they’re walking away with something just as valuable as wins: lessons — the kind that could make a difference in their playoff push. Without Jalen Brunson , their All-Star captain and crunch-time assassin, the Knicks have morphed into one of the league’s best defensive teams. Yet, even elite defense hasn’t been enough to replace the scoring punch of a player pulling away in the Clutch Player of the Year race. Brunson suffered a right ankle injury in overtime of New York’s March 6 loss to the Lakers and isn’t expected back until the end of the month. In his absence, the Knicks (42-24) have held their own — but offensive struggles have made every possession a battle. “We’re struggling a little bit, obviously, without No. 11 [Brunson],” Josh Hart admitted after New York’s three-point loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. “We have to find — or do a better job of — organization and playing to each other’s...

DT Derrick Nnadi agrees to terms with Jets: report

On Sunday, the Jets added depth to their defensive line. Defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi has agreed to terms with the Jets, according to his agency SportsTrust Advisors. Details of Nnadi’s contract were not disclosed. Prior to this point, Nnadi, 28, has spent his entire career with the Chiefs after being selected in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. In seven seasons, he started 86 regular-season games and played in three Super Bowls in Kansas City. However, after being a starter for the first six seasons with the Chiefs, Nnadi moved into a reserve rotational role last season. He tallied a career-low mark with 215 defensive snaps and 11 tackles. Nnadi has registered 233 tackles, five sacks, and a forced fumble during his career. The Jets have been looking for defensive tackle help alongside Quinnen Williams . Last year, they added Javon Kinlaw , hoping he would provide a solution, but his play was erratic. However, his play was erratic, and Kinlaw committed nine penalties, man...

A popular restaurant chain in China is offering refunds to more than 4,100 diners after two teens were caught on video urinating into a vat of hotpot broth in a private dining room at one of its locations. Hotpots are vats brimming with boiling broth that customers fill with meat morsels, vegetables and other ingredients, then eat communally. Haidilao , with restaurants across China and in the U.S. , U.K., Japan and elsewhere, specializes in this fare. The pee-pranking patrons, 17-year-olds with the surnames Tang and Wu, were arrested after video of them went viral and sparked social media outrage.
