There are hazards to sitting courtside at an NBA game. A player lunging after a loose ball might topple toward you, forcing a split-second decision about whether to cushion the landing or dive for safety. A spilled drink—a minor inconvenience in the 300 level—brings a delay and an arena full of impatient eyes. Sitting next to Steve Ballmer , the former Microsoft CEO and current owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, involves potentially mortal danger. Chaz Fitzhugh, his longtime friend and a regular guest at the seats Ballmer keeps along the baseline, has a heart condition, which necessitates certain arrangements.

April 14 (Reuters) - The National Basketball Association (NBA) has suspended former Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges 30 games without pay as a result of a domestic violence incident involving the mother of his children, the league said on Friday.

Bridges entered a plea of no contest to a felony domestic violence charge and the remaining counts against him were dismissed. Following his arrest and plea, Bridges did not sign an NBA contract for the ongoing 2022-23 season, missing all 82 games. The NBA conducted its own investigation, interviewing Bridges, the mother of his children, numerous third-party witnesses and also consulted with domestic violence experts.

Richard Parsons Is Investing in People Who Are Overlooked

When Richard Parsons became chief executive of Time Warner Inc. in 2002, he assumed he was pioneering a new era of Black CEOs in American corporations. “I had envisioned that on the heels of the Great Society initiatives of the 1970s, there would be a wave of people who were ready,” he says. “But for a number of reasons, this didn’t happen.” Today, only six Fortune 500 companies are run by Black CEOs—a record high. After decades of leading companies as varied as Citigroup Inc. and the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers, Mr. Parsons, 74, felt moved to tackle this pipeline problem himself. Together with a team of venture investors, including Ronald Lauder and Kenneth Lerer , he launched the New York-based Equity Alliance fund in 2021 to “democratize capital” by backing venture funds and early-stage ventures led by women and people of color.

The Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets agreed Sunday on a blockbuster trade: Irving — the super-talented and often-enigmatic eight-time All-Star point guard — heads to Dallas, ending the pairing with Kevin Durant that never really had a chance to click. It was not immediately clear when Irving would make his debut with Dallas. And I think for Dallas, they got a big-time star to go with the one they've got."
