“I don’t think they’re saying, ‘OK, you’re not wearing a mask, you’re not wearing a mask, you’re not wearing a mask, so y’all need to go somewhere.’ They’re not even thinking about doing that,” Heyward said. “But they are pointing at the people that get tested at least three times a week, we’re around each other every day, who know whose families are vaccinated and who’s not. We know if we test positive, we don’t show up the next game. Therefore, if we’re present and we’re here, none of us tested positive.
After the Nets scored 13 straight points to take a 34-23 lead early in the second quarter, the Bucks responded with a 19-4 run to take the lead for good. That stretch featured a 12-0 spurt, including a four-point play from Middleton, two corner 3-pointers from Tucker and a dunk from Antetokounmpo.
* Also in Bronzeville, around 9:48 p.m., a 43-year-old man and his dog were both shot while they were in front of their home in the 4600 block of South Drexel Boulevard. The man suffered a graze wound to his hand, and was treated at the scene. Additional details — including the type of dog, where it was struck or the dog’s condition — were not available Sunday, a police spokesman said in an email. The gunman had fired the shots from an open rear door of a black Nissan Maxima, which fled north on Drexel.
Johnny Vander Meer (1938), Allie Reynolds (1951), Virgil Trucks (1952), Nolan Ryan (1973) and Max Scherzer (2015) are the only pitchers to throw two no-hitters in the same regular season. Roy Halladay had a perfect game in the 2010 regular season and threw a no-hitter in the postseason.
“I’m very proud, very happy. I don’t want to stop there,” said Djokovic, who spread his arms, then tapped his chest and crouched to touch the red clay at Court Philippe Chatrier after ending the match with a leaping volley. “Hopefully I can keep on (winning) here in Roland Garros, at least one or two more times.”
“He was gone. And we did cardiac resuscitation. And it was cardiac arrest,” said team doctor Morten Boesen, who led the work in giving Eriksen treatment on the field. “How close were we? I don’t know. We got him back after one defib. That’s quite fast.”
“(Chafin shows) how they need to act, how to get ready, trying to direct these guys on what it’s like to be a bullpen pitcher, what it’s like to be available daily, find your routine,” Ross said. “Chafin and a lot of those veterans down there are huge examples and do a really nice job of maintaining expectations and consistency.”
“I played not so good the first shift, and then coach said … he just wants the best from me, just wants that I give my best on the ice,” Reichel said. “It’s hockey. Sometimes you have bad games. I scored the winning goal in the shootout, that was good too. After that, everything was fine.”
“You’re thinking, ‘Oh man, you’re sitting at home. You’re missing a year out,’” Williams said Wednesday during a video conference call. “That affects you at the end of the day just because you’re not out there doing the reps, putting the time in. But that’s when you sit at home and really grind. When no one’s watching, that’s when you want to work the hardest. So coming back was really easy.”
