Jan 26, 2023

The U.S. Virgin Islands is the most recent region in the nation to end cannabis prohibition after Governor Albert Bryan Jr. formally signed two bills legalizing marijuana and facilitating cannabis expungements. Bryan signed the bill just a few days before its 10-day deadline. He also used the occasion to issue a proclamation allowing people to seek pardons for previous cannabis possession convictions.

The governor stated that since the Bryan-Roach Administration started working, officials have operated toward the decriminalization of marijuana use for…

Rockets' Kevin Durant, Suns owner Mat Ishbia spar on social media

PHOENIX — Houston Rockets superstar Kevin Durant and Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia had a spat on social media Saturday after Durant took issue with Ishbia's description of the 16-time All-Star's tenure with the Suns during a recent television interview. In an appearance on CNBC Sport, Ishbia said that he “threw money at the problem” when dealing for Durant in 2023 and that “bringing in super talented players like Kevin Durant doesn't necessarily lead to championships.” Durant took issue with that characterization. “#blamekd even though KD stayed on top of his game at 36 and got u back this ‘culture’ you love so much. Aye, Matthew acts like I got arrested for a DUI or sumn. Back to threads," Durant posted. Ishbia responded with his own message, saying “You obviously didn’t watch the clip. Didn’t blame you @Kdtrey5, but am happy with the culture we are building here in Phoenix. We got the right guys and right focus now and are excited for this season. Good luck this season in Houston.” Durant had one more response, writing “U should be giving Thanks every chance u get. You don’t have to pay me an absurd amount of money to play for another team.” Just days after Ishbia bought the Suns for $4 billion in 2023, the organization dealt for Durant in a blockbuster trade that the owner hoped would lead to a championship. While Durant played well personally, the team results were disappointing. Phoenix made it to the second round of the playoffs in 2023, got swept in the first round in 2024 and didn't even make the playoffs in 2025. Durant was traded to the Rockets during the ensuing offseason. Ishbia retooled the organization in the aftermath, hiring Brian Gregory as the general manager and Jordan Ott as the head coach. The Suns were expected to be one of the worst teams in the NBA last season, but finished with a 45-37 record and made the first round of the playoffs with a core that included Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green. “It was not aligned with my vision,” Ishbia said of Durant's tenure. "We had a couple years and it did not succeed as we're well aware of at this point. After that year, I decided to trade Kevin Durant, bring in my GM, bring in a coach and get extremely involved personally with the type of guy and type of person we want in the organization. Not just on the court but off the court. “I'm not saying it's Kevin Durant or not Kevin Durant, but here's what I will say. It is Dillon Brooks. It is Jordan Goodwin. It is Collin Gillespie... of course, Devin Booker. We've defined what matters to us.”

Fundora knocks out Hadribeaj to retain WBC superwelter crown

Fundora knocks out Hadribeaj to retain WBC superwelter crown

LAS VEGAS — Sebastian Fundora defeated Ermal Hadribeaj with a final-round knockout to retain his World Boxing Council super welterweight crown in Las Vegas on Saturday. The towering 6ft 6in (1.98m) Fundora used his height and reach advantages to dominate his Albanian opponent in an attritional 12-round contest. Fundora sealed victory just before the bell rang at the end of the 12th round, flooring Hadribeaj with a brutal left hand that sent his opponent sprawling. Earlier, Hadribeaj had made a bright start, connecting with a series of stiff jabs in the opening round to rock Fundora. But Fundora asserted his dominance in the second round, wobbling Hardibeaj with a left hand and forcing the Albanian onto the defensive. Fundora continued to score regularly and a frustrated Hadribeaj had a point deducted in the third round for excessive holding. A flurry of Fundora uppercuts in the fifth round left the 28-year-old from California in control and he remained comfortably ahead on points over the closing rounds. Another Hadribeaj point deduction for holding in the 11th round left the challenger needing a stoppage to have any chance of snatching victory. But Hadribeaj's aggressive approach to the 12th round left him open, and Fundora duly pounced to floor his opponent after 2 minutes and 59 seconds of the 12th round. Fundora improved to 25-1-1 (17 knockouts) while Hadribeaj fell to 23-1-1.

Eala faces tough opening test in WTA Ningbo Open return

MANILA, Philippines — Filipina netter Alex Eala faces a tough challenge upon her return to action at the Ningbo Open, which kicks off at the Ningbo Yinzhou Tennis Center. Based on the official draw released by tournament organizers, Eala will first face France's Diane Parry in the opening round of the WTA 500 event. The match between Eala and Parry is scheduled for 12 noon on Monday. This is their first-ever meeting on the WTA Tour. Also looming in Eala's draw are potential matchups against world No. 13 Diana Shnaider of Russia in the second round, world No. 11 Iva Jovic of the United States in the quarterfinals, and defending champion and world No. 1 Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan in the semifinals. Eala is aiming to bounce back at the Ningbo Open following a string of early exits across three consecutive tournaments. Her rough stretch began at the Singapore Open, where she was shown an early exit after falling to Russia's Tatiana Prozorova (6-4, 5-7, 3-6) in the opening round. This was followed by another setback against China's Wang Xiyu in the semifinals of the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 3-6. Eala's frustration deepened when she suffered another early elimination at the Wuhan Open in China, absorbing a 6-4, 3-6, 3-6 defeat against China's Han Shi in the first round. All three players who defeated Eala hold lower WTA rankings. Moreover, a recurring pattern marked the Filipina netter's losses, where she would win the first set only to fall short in the final two frames. To ensure she is in top shape before stepping onto the court, Eala immediately went straight to intensive training upon arriving in Ningbo. TMT
