During Tuesday night's game between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves, tensions escalated when Draymond Green of the Warriors put Rudy Gobert of the Timberwolves in a chokehold. The incident occurred after a heated altercation between Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels. Green took advantage of the situation and intervened, leading to his ejection from the game. Both McDaniels and Thompson were also ejected.

Despite the early chaos, the Timberwolves managed to secure a 104-101 victory over the Warriors. Karl-Anthony Towns played a crucial role in the victory, scoring 33 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter. Anthony Edwards also contributed with 20 points, while Mike Conley sealed the win with a game-clinching three-pointer.

The incident between Green and Gobert quickly became viral on social media, with footage of the chokehold spreading online. This adds another chapter to the ongoing rivalry between Green and Gobert, who have had a prickly relationship in the past.

The Timberwolves' win extends their winning streak to seven games and maintains their undefeated record in the NBA in-season tournament. Both teams will have a chance to face off again in the tournament's upcoming group play games.

The Warriors, on the other hand, are currently on a three-game losing streak and now have a 6-5 record for the season.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a fractured finger on his non-throwing hand in Week 4. As he continues to play through the injury, fans are wondering if it is affecting his performance on the field. Despite the injury, Herbert has not missed any games and has shown some impressive stats in recent matchups.

During the game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4, Herbert injured his left hand and later discovered that he had fractured his middle finger. He played with a splint and a bandage on his hand during the game and has continued to play with the injury in subsequent weeks.

In the losses to the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs, Herbert struggled, completing just 58.2% of his passes for 486 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. However, in the recent victory over the Chicago Bears, Herbert had an excellent performance, completing 31 of 40 passes for 298 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.

Herbert has been wearing a glove and a wrap over his finger in some games, which he says helps him grip the ball better and provides protection. He has indicated that his finger is improving every day.

As the Chargers prepare for their upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against the New York Jets, fans will be watching to see if Herbert's finger injury will impact his performance. Despite the injury, Herbert remains a key player for the Chargers and has the potential to make a significant impact on the game.

American entrepreneur Elon Musk is set to launch his massive new rocket, Starship, in its second flight test. The vehicle's maiden flight in April ended abruptly in a fiery explosion just four minutes after liftoff. However, engineers at SpaceX have made "more than a thousand" modifications to the rocket's systems in an effort to improve reliability.

The launch window is scheduled to open at 07:00 local time in Texas. The mission will involve sending the top part of the two-stage vehicle, known as the Ship, almost one full revolution around the Earth. The goal is to have the uncrewed craft make a controlled splashdown in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii.

If successful, Starship could revolutionize space travel by becoming a fully reusable rocket capable of carrying over a hundred tonnes into orbit in a single launch. This would significantly lower the cost of space activities and support Musk's vision of establishing a human settlement on Mars.

The first flight test in April revealed significant challenges, with engine failures, loss of control, and an explosive ending. However, SpaceX follows the mantra of "test early, break it, and learn," and the engineers have used these lessons to make extensive modifications to Starship's design. The upcoming test will determine if these changes have improved the rocket's performance and durability.

SpaceX's second attempt at launching the Starship rocket is poised to provide crucial insights into the viability of Musk's ambitious space exploration plans.

Linebacker Terrel Bernard has been ruled out for the rest of the game with a concussion, according to the Buffalo Bills. The injury occurred during the team's 24-18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Bernard had four tackles before leaving the game in the second quarter. This injury adds to the Bills' defensive struggles, as they were already without linebacker Matt Milano and cornerback Tre'Davious White due to injuries. The Bills had mixed success in limiting the Bengals' offense, but were unable to force any takeaways for the second consecutive game. The loss brings their total to three losses in their last five games. Despite the loss, wide receiver Stefon Diggs had a standout performance, catching six passes for 86 yards and a touchdown. Diggs has been a reliable target for the Bills, with 21 receptions for 214 yards and two touchdowns in his last three games. The Bills will look to bounce back in their Week 10 Monday night game against the Denver Broncos.

After a disappointing EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle, Manchester United are looking to turn their fortunes around as they face Fulham in Matchweek 11 of the Premier League.

Manchester United have had a rollercoaster season, with all 10 of their league matches ending in either victory or defeat. Their inconsistency has put them under pressure, and they will be eager to secure a win against Fulham to get back on track.

Fulham will be no pushovers, though. They will be playing at home and will be hoping to take advantage of Manchester United's recent struggles. Paul Merson, a former Arsenal legend, has predicted a 1-0 victory for Fulham in this match.

However, Manchester United go into the game as narrow favorites. Despite their recent form, they still have a strong squad and will be looking to bounce back with a win. Manager Erik ten Hag will be hoping to rally his team and restore their confidence after the defeat to Newcastle.

It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can rise to the occasion and secure a much-needed victory, or if Fulham will continue their strong form at home. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how this match unfolds.

Charles Oliveira has responded to rumors that he will be facing Islam Makhachev at UFC 297 in Toronto. The rumor was floated by Ariel Helwani on social media, but Oliveira expressed apparent surprise at the news. Although Oliveira didn't rule out the possibility, he made it clear that it was news to him. UFC 297 is already set to feature Raquel Pennington vs. Mayra Bueno Silva for the vacant UFC women's bantamweight title, so it's likely that the event will include a second title fight. The original plan for the event was for Alexander Volkanovski to face Topuria, but with Volkanovski suffering a loss to Makhachev last month, there might be some changes to the card. However, there hasn't been an official announcement regarding Oliveira's next opponent.

Jewish students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are raising concerns over their safety on campus after they were reportedly prevented from attending classes by a group of anti-Israel activists. The MIT Israel Alliance has written an open letter alleging that Jewish and Israeli students were physically obstructed from entering classrooms by a hostile pro-Palestinian group called the Coalition Against Apartheid (CAA). The letter further claims that Jewish students fear leaving their dorm rooms and view MIT as an unsafe environment for Jews. The CAA protest, which took place on the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, has sparked outrage among Jewish students who believe that history is repeating itself and that they are living in fear on campus. MIT president Sally Kornbluth has stated that students who remained in the main lobby will be disciplined, but will still be able to attend classes. This incident raises questions about the safety and inclusivity of Jewish students at MIT.
