The Ukrainian director Mstyslav Chernov used his acceptance speech for “20 Days in Mariupol,” which won the Oscar for best documentary feature on Sunday, to give an emotional denunciation of the continued invasion of his country by Russian forces. “I’ll be the first director on this stage who will say, ‘I wish I never made this film,’” Chernov said. “20 Days in Mariupol” is the first Ukrainian film to win an Oscar. “I wish to be able to exchange this to Russia never attacking Ukraine, never occupying our cities,” Chernov continued. “I wish to give it all the recognition to Russia not killing tens of thousands of my fellow Ukrainians.

Dave Chappelle was about 24 minutes into his set on Wednesday night in Raleigh, N.C., when he briefly touched on remarks he had made about the Israel-Hamas conflict at a show in Boston last week that had led to cheers, some walkouts and headlines. “Right now, I’m in trouble because the Jewish community is upset,” Mr. Chappelle told a packed crowd of more than 20,000 people at PNC Arena. “But I cannot express this enough: No matter what you read about that show in Boston, you will never see quotation marks around anything I said. They don’t know what I said.”“It’s all hearsay,” said the comedian, who, like many others, requires audience members to surrender their smartphones at shows. Mr. Chappelle, a satirist whose reputation for diving into polarizing topics has increased in the latter stages of his comedic career, returned to the Israel-Hamas conflict near the end of his set Wednesday.

This was the Alex Smith comeback years in the making. Months later, in the spring of 2021, he stood with his family on a slope in Big Sky, Mont., ready for the next part of his life. Rehabilitating his injury for his football comeback, Smith said, “was always just a means to get the rest of my life back.” As a kid, he’d enjoyed the slopes with his parents and siblings. because his contract barred him from doing so, and he hoped his future could include creating wintry memories with his three children. So Smith stood on top of a mountain on a leg rebuilt through 17 surgeries (“or 18,” he said.

☆ A Teen Basketball Star Took His Time Growing Up for the N.B.A.

He had run from baseline to baseline, on a court that had splashes of black and red and the printed words of his mantra: Overly Determined to Dominate. At each end of the court, he had caught a pass and taken a shot. As a trainer passed to him, Scoot Henderson imagined that it was the end of a playoff game and that he had just stolen the basketball. He sank onto the first row of aluminum stands lining the court at his family’s gym north of Atlanta. He was exhausted and excited, focused on building “grown-man strength” for his looming transition to the N.B.A.

☆ ‘I Can’t Continue This Fight Any Longer’

The aromatic vineyards of Würzburg and the city’s architectural masterpieces hardly registered with Tyrell Terry as he journeyed to the Franconia region of Germany in December. His life in basketball, once a source of joy to him, had collapsed into a debilitating and lonely loop, and he could see little beyond his own misery. If anything could renew his desire to play basketball, Terry reasoned, it would be joining up with his buddy Nico Carvacho, who now played in a professional league in Germany. In the mornings, he dashed to the bathroom, fell to his knees by the toilet and threw up. The cycle had come for him again, the same relentless anguish that had drained the enjoyment from his life and stripped away his N.B.A.

☆ Brittney Griner Is Creating a New Normal, for Herself and the W.N.B.A.

‘She Impacts the World’Vince Kozar, the president of the Mercury, described an ominous cloud over the franchise last season at every practice, media session and game without Griner. The day Griner was sentenced, Mercury players came together and cried — then had to play a game. Kozar did not expect Griner to announce immediately whether she would again play in the W.N.B.A. Griner may have been the most plugged-in W.N.B.A. In letters with Kozar, Griner was not asking about the organization and its going-ons as much as informing him about them.
