Draymond Green will not play in an NBA game for the foreseeable future. On Wednesday evening, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that the league decided to hand down an indefinite suspension to Green in the aftermath of an incident that occurred the prior night when he swung his arm around and struck Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face.
“This outcome takes into account Green’s repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts … He will be required to meet certain league and team conditions before he returns to play,” the NBA said in a statement.
Indefinite suspensions are tricky because they are so vague — in theory, Green could miss one game and come back, or this could be the last we see of him for quite some time. What we do know from the league is that there are conditions on a return, and Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that Green will receive counseling while he’s away from action. Wojnarowski additionally reported that there will be counseling involved, although the NBA was hesitant to put a specific number of games on this suspension.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green will be allowed to continue practicing with team while serving his suspension, source tells @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.
Saying “away from action” is important, because Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report brings word that Green will not be fully away from the team. Apparently, the league has given Green the all clear to practice with the Golden State Warriors while he’s barred from games.

Green’s suspension comes only a few games after he returned from an earlier suspension. Earlier this season, the league suspended him five games for putting Rudy Gobert in a choke hold during a fracas between the Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves. This also comes at just about the worst possible time for Golden State, which are 10-13 on the season, currently are 2.5 games out of the Play-In Tournament in the Western Conference, and have lost three of their last four games.

When you watch or read the news, it can be easy to get down on the world. It’s not your imagination that the news has a negativity bias. One study showed that headlines denoting anger, fear, disgust and sadness steadily increased from 2000 to 2019, making it even harder to stay informed without feeling a sense of despair or hopelessness.
But that doesn’t meant that everything is bad. The reality is that there are wonderful things happening all around us that fly under the radar. Just because good news isn’t flooding our social media feeds doesn’t mean it isn’t there—we just might have to dig through the muck and mire of the media to find it.
When Reddit user u/NorthPengyyy asked the Ask Reddit board, “What is a good thing happening in the US right now that people aren’t aware of?” people delivered.
Check out these uplifting developments that might just restore your faith and hope in humanity.
1. There’s a promising new drug treatment for Multiple Sclerosis
“We’ve discovered a drug that places a significant pause on Multiple Sclerosis progression and are in trials for what could very well be the cure.” – Alarming-Series6627
As Neuroscience News shares, “A new small molecule drug targeting the glutamate system shows promise in treating MS, potentially repairing myelin damage. This innovative approach could revolutionize MS treatment.”
2. Not only that, but a new “inverse vaccine” may revolutionize all autoimmune disease treatment
“Not only MS, but potentially all autoimmune disease, including crohns, T1 diabetes, arthritis, lyme, and even allergies.” –AVeryHeavyBurtation
In the lab, a new “inverse vaccine,” which removes the immune system’s memory of one molecule, showed an ability to completely reverse autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes without shutting down the rest of the immune system. Could be a gamechanger for autoimmune diseases.

3. Anonymous donor regularly hides thousands of dollars at a children’s rehab center
“There’s a guy in my hometown who hides thousands of dollars outside a children’s rehab center, then calls the front desk and they have a little scavenger hunt until they find it. They then use the money to help families buy holiday gifts. No one knows who he is, but over the years, he’s given over $100,000. It’s usually front-page news when the year’s donation comes in!” – violetmemphisblue
How much fun must that be, both for the anonymous donor and for the employees and kids?
4. A judge in California thought there must be a better solution than locking young young people away for life. So he created an amazing, innovative educational alternative.
Superior Court Judge John Phillips had grown tired of seeing so many young people come through his courtroom and having no recourse but what the system provided—mostly jail time. So he created what he saw they needed. It’s called Rancho Cielo and it’s a place where kids who are at risk of falling into criminality go for education, support, enrichment. Here they won’t fall through the cracks and they are able to become their best selves. Read more about how and why it works here.
5. New treatments for brain cancer have arrived after a long lull
“There is a new treatment for my brain cancer. There have been NO advancements in like 40 years. I should be able to take it next year and it will hopefully delay my tumor growth.
It’s pretty exciting. I have done two clinical trials. One did not pan out. The other one they won’t have the information for probably another 6-10 years.” – chasingcomet2
6. Sea stars are making a comeback after being largely wiped out
“The sea stars on the west coast are returning after suffering a wasting disease a few years back.” – suitopseudo
In 2013, sea stars (also commonly called starfish) began dying in droves when a wasting disease swept through the population. Thankfully, scientists now have some idea of what caused that deadly epidemic and we’ve seen an increase in the number of sea stars in Washington, Oregon and northern California after the mass die-off.
7. Americans might soon save on tax filing, thanks to a new IRS program
“The IRS is testing a program in 2024 that will let most people file their taxes for free right at their website, so that should save people a little cash this spring.” – ndorox
Yes, calculating and paying taxes is an annoying and tedious process, which is why anything that makes it easier is a good thing.

8. Honeybees are making a comeback, too
“After some really scary news in the late 00’s, bee populations have been steadily on the rebound.” – CryptoCentric
“Can confirm! Certain areas are for real pretty nice and a lot of hip businesses have popped up. It’s still a very weird city. You have a gorgeous church or historical venue and two doors down, a burned out building. The blight is diminishing though and it’s good to see.” – sane-ish
“Lowest crime in 60 years! Downtown Detroit is having a moment right now.” – TheDadThatGrills
10. We’re kicking cancer’s butt all over the place.
“We’re killing cancer. Look at cancer survival rates over the last five years.” – TheDadThatGrills
In addition to the cancers referenced above, there have been huge leaps in breast cancer treatments and even treatments for aggressive cancers that used to mean a dire prognosis. We still have a long way to go, but the strides made on the cancer front the past decade have been nothing short of remarkable.
11. Local goodness abounds in communities everywhere.
“I look in my community. COVID has changed a lot. Ordinary people are helping out ordinary people either openly or in secret.
“There’s a hole in the wall Mexican restaurant near me. Not great food. But good amounts for cheap. I wondered why it had so many customers. They feed the homeless in the community. Some come and ask for food. Or some help at closing and in exchange get food. They never say no and happily give them food and even ask if they want chips and salsa. As a way of contributing, customers leave huge tips.
“When my friend was diagnosed with breast cancer her old next door neighbor couple took care of her yard and checked in on her.” –ClayWheelGirl
“Every year in Atlanta and surrounding areas Clark Howard (and affiliates) raise donations to give literally every single kid in foster care gifts of their choosing for Christmas morning. They make the quota every year, and participating in it is a Christmas tradition at my house. Google Clark’s Christmas Kids and give what you can.” – LarvellJonesMD·
“Last year I left a Domestic Violence situation and had basically nothing, but my kid got an unexpectedly huge haul from ‘Santa.’ It was like, 3 huge garbage bags full of toys and clothes. This year she started school and we had to classify her as homeless for her school paperwork because we live with my parents (it was required–I tried to get out of doing it) so she’s always getting offers for help from different organizations. We decline them, but it’s good to know they exist for those who are truly in need.” – NeedsMoreTuba
“Despite a tornado ripping through my town on Saturday, our community has banded together and there are more volunteers and supplies than the churches and schools can manage! People showing up to serve hot meals, loaning generators, taking in fur babies, and cleaning up.” – reggaeisanotherbag
12. People are realizing we need more positive news
“This thread does wonders for my mental health. Wow, what a bit of positivity does.” – Beliriel
“I’m so used to doom scrolling that I didn’t realize how desperately deprived I was of whatever dopamine you could get from good news, but these comments woke it up. Thank you everyone.” – Critical_Escape7745
“This thread gives me hope. For the first time in a long time.” – JoKatHW
UPDATE: The NBA confirmed Wojnarowski’s report, saying that Green “will be required to meet certain league and team conditions before he returns to play.”
EARLIER: For the second time this season, the NBA has handed down a lengthy suspension to Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green. In the aftermath of his ejection for swinging his arm and hitting Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic on Tuesday night, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that Green is going to face an indefinite suspension.
ESPN Sources: The NBA is suspending Golden State’s Draymond Green indefinitely. pic.twitter.com/CNaIXavM0C
Tuesday’s incident occurred in the third quarter of the game, with Green catching Nurkic in the face and earning a Flagrant 2. He made it a point to apologize in his postgame press conference, although Nurkic told the media that he believes Green “needs help.” The Suns would go on to win the game, 119-116.
The incident came less than a month after the NBA gave Green a 5-game suspension for his role in a fight between the Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves. After some shoving between Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels, Rudy Gobert came in and attempted to pull them apart. Green responded to this by putting Gobert in a sleeper hold while pulling him away from the fracas.
Tuesday’s game against the Suns was the sixth since Green returned from that suspension. Green has appeared in 15 games this season for the Warriors, averaging 9.7 points, 5.8 assists, and 5.5 rebounds in 25.1 minutes per game.
Donald Trump has sure amassed a slew of questionable firsts. Perhaps most impressively he’s the first U.S. president to be hit with any criminal indictments. And he’s got four of them! The big guy may even be the first to be sent to the slammer. Another (probable) first: He’s the first to have their attorneys reference Dr. Seuss in a court filing.
Per The Daily Beast, on Wednesday Trump’s forever embattled revolving door legal team took aim at special counsel Jack Smith, who’s leading two of the criminal investigations into the former president: the Jan. 6 one and the government documents one. Specially they formally bristled at his request to expedite the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit’s review of whether their client has executive immunity from criminal charges. At this rate, appealing that would require Trump’s attorneys to have materials ready the day after Christmas.
“This proposed schedule would require attorneys and support staff to work round-the-clock through the holidays, inevitably disrupting family and travel plans,” read their complaint. Then they referenced one of Dr. Seuss’ most enduring works. “It is as if the Special Counsel ‘growled, with his Grinch fingers drumming, “I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming… But how?”’”
It is kind of mean to force lawyers to work through the holidays, all to keep their chaos agent client out of the clink. Still, CNN’s Jake Tapper couldn’t keep a straight face when reporting about a filing quoting How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, per Mediaite.
“So, the lawyers of Whoville could have a bleak Christmas, I guess is the argument,” Tapper joked on-air.
Tapper also asked guest Maggie Haberman, known around town as the “Trump whisperer,” if this particular trial could be delayed. She said it’s a “real possibility,” adding:
“I think that the March 4th start date has seemed aspirational for some time. The question is, how long? Does it start, say, before the Republican nominating convention in July? Does it start at some point later in the summer? Would the judge feel okay starting it in August? There’s so many variables built in to this, it’s very hard to say when this will begin. It is still seen as the likeliest trial to start before the election, if not the only one. But there’s a lot of moving parts.”
Stay tuned whether Trump’s lawyers referencing Dr. Seuss ensured they didn’t to spend the holidays dealing with someone still hawking NFTs.
Around this time last year, SZA joined the Rolling Stone Music Nowpodcast and shared (among many things) that she “100 percent did not think” she’d enjoy mainstream success. She also discussed the somewhat accidental start to her now-acclaimed music career in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, posted Wednesday, December 13.
“Some people choose music as a career, and they feel very certain about what they’re doing and why they’re doing it, but I was never quite certain, and I really only did music to prove a point,” she said, beginning at the 26:19-mark. After Lowe asked her to whom that mentality was aimed at, she said. “When I started making music, it was to my ex-fiancé because he was paying for everything. My food, my clothes, where I lived, and he was eight years my senior, so I was so co-dependent.”
SZA continued:
“And he was so talented, and like, he’s a designer — so brilliant. His ex-girlfriends were all lawyers and businesswomen and artists that went to [Rhode Island School Of Design], and all these things, right? And you know, I’m a college dropout. I’m still bartending at the strip club, so it’s giving — like, I felt like a lacked value. So, when I started trying to make music, it was this thing that I didn’t have to try at but was randomly good at because I’ve always written poetry and always felt emotional.”
The most-nominated artist at the 2024 Grammys went on to explain how ostracized she felt from “the kids from my little suburban town,” her evolution toward how comfortable she feels within herself now, and how she doesn’t “have any more goals” because she’s already achieved more than she ever thought she would. She finished by touching on how she wants “healthy relationships” moving forward.
“My biggest priority now is being an emotionally regulated person with healthy relationships,” she said.
Just this week we named the Jordan 3 White Cement Reimagined one of the 20 best sneaker releases of the year. The sneaker was a recreation of the 1988 original with a slightly aged midsole for vintage vibes and when it hit the Nike SNKRS app it featured a price tag of $210.
That’s a pretty steep price, so if you skipped out on this drop because of the price we don’t blame you. If that’s a decision you’re regretting you’ll be happy to know you find the shoe on aftermarket sites for just above retail price, or, you could try your luck at your local Ross, where according to several Twitter users, you can pick up the pair for $84.99.
One of the best sneaker releases of the year for under $100? That’s a great f*cking deal.
Reimagined 3s at Ross for $84 my boy said they had size 11, 12, 17 I know him personally high doubt he lying pic.twitter.com/or7LM0QRJU
Brand new sneakers showing up at Ross is nothing new, but hitting up Ross is a gamble — you never know what you’re going to find. As a big-time Ross fan, my advice is this: go to Ross looking for deals, not specifics, and you’ll always leave happy.
Having said that, because this is Ross we’re dealing with you’re lucky if you’re going to be able to find a pair of the White Cement, let alone one in your size. But they’re there, so if you want to try your luck and hit up a couple of Ross’ in your neighborhood, at best you’ll find a pair, and at worst you’ll come up with something to resell or some new furniture.
Even though it’s currently the 14th highest grossing movie of all time, Barbie gobbled up all the bucks despite being not being a franchise movie. It’s not even getting a sequel (though it might — maybe, maybe not — get a Ken spinoff). What it did do was inspire toy company Mattel to do the next big thing: launch one of them cinematic universes. They’re making one for Hot Wheels, one for Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, one for Polly Pockets, one for Barney, even one for the Magic 8 Ball. They just announced another one. Thing is, it’s already been parodied by SNL.
Back in April, during the episode hosted by Ana de Armas, the show aired a send-up of Barbie, which was still a few months from conquering the world’s multiplexes. In the pre-taped fake trailer, they joked about the most ridiculous Mattel toy line they could turn into a movie: the American Girl line, which was launched in 1986 and which featured dolls of various ethnicities.
But instead of a feel-good romp, the film would delve into each one’s tragic backstories. One lived in grim Victorian times. Another was a prisoner of war. One is a runaway slave. Another simply has glasses.
“Not all dolls live in a dream, some are bigger, younger, sadder, some dolls are American Girls,” says the narrator. “Did all their family members die of old timey diseases? Absolutely.”
Anyway, jump half a year and this SNL sketch is becoming a reality.
Per Entertainment Weekly, the film will be written by Lindsey Anderson Beer, of Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, who in a statement praised the “historically accurate” dolls” and swore that her film based on them would tackle “issues of girlhood in a real and compelling way.”
That does kind of make it sound a lot like the trailer, which is so historically accurate that two of the living dolls die of cholera.
Just over 26 minutes into the 52-minute conversation, SZA said something that caused fans to do a double-take. She explained that she “was never quite certain” about her viability as an artist, and she “really only did music to prove a point.” Lowe asked to whom she wanted to prove a point. SZA said, “When I started making music, it was to my ex-fiancé because he was paying for everything. My food, my clothes, where I lived, and he was eight years my senior, so I was so co-dependent.”
SZA tells Zane Lowe she first started making music to prove a point to her ex-fiancé:
“It was because he was paying for everything. My food, my clothes, where I lived…I was so co-dependent, and he was so talented. His ex girlfriends were all lawyers, business women and… https://t.co/2G1rvlpEqN
Time out. Ex-fiancé? SZA keeps her private life private, so some people were surprised to hear that she had previously been engaged, though she also briefly mentioned him to Rolling Stoneearlier this year.
“When we talk, she doesn’t divulge her ex-fiancé’s identity, though she describes him as a fashion designer who doesn’t post on social media,” Rolling Stone‘s Mankaprr Conteh wrote in October. “They became unengaged five or six years ago, she says, having been together for a total of 11 years and engaged for five. I do some quick maths and conclude that they must have started dating around the time she was in high school. ‘I was fresh from high school,’ she concurs.”
SZA hasn’t publicly offered up much detail about ex-fiancé — and it doesn’t seem like she plans to — but she damn sure wouldn’t tell us if she’s ever been married. Based on everything we do know, though, it would seem that she has never been married. She did give Conteh insight into her mindset toward relationships moving forward, as excerpted below:
“Having spent her youth ‘around a n***a, up under a n***a, trying to get up under a n***a, like, needing that constant validation, companionship, like scared to be by myself and sh*t,’ she’s now concerned she won’t settle into another relationship while she’s in her prime, as if when she’s older she won’t still be the incredible beauty she is now.
‘I feel like I have more to offer than the way I look and my energy, but it’s like, I’m human, that sh*t is all-encompassing,’ she reasons. ‘I want to stunt like me when I meet the person I envision me being with. I envision them falling in love with me the way I am. But I guess it’s like I have to release that idea. Maybe it’s because I don’t know if I’ll like the way I am later?’”
After rising through the ranks of the DIY Chicago music scene, one of indie rock’s most exciting new acts, Friko, are preparing the release of their debut album, Where We’ve Been, Where We Go From Here.
Made up of vocalist/guitarist Niko Kapetan and drummer Bailey Minzenberger, Friko’s debut album features whip-smart, frenetic ballads about getting older and growing up. “One of the main things we want to do as a band is talk about what’s happening right now and everything we’re feeling, with an honesty and directness that gets through to people,” Kapetan said in a statement. “I hope that our music helps everyone feel more deeply, but in a way that goes beyond just reacting to the songs.”
Head of the release of their album, which is out February on ATO Records, Kapetan and Minzenberger sit down with Uproxx to talk Modest Mouse, Thai food, and Lord of the Ringsin our latest Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
Kapetan: Visceral, Cathartic, Dynamic, Fun.
It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
Kapetan: We put all of ourselves into it and it makes people feel youthful and whole in some way.
Minzenberger: I hope it is remembered as being lively and emotional. We try to put our all into every show; I hope that it can be remembered as a space where people can let things go, even momentarily.
Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?
Kapetan: From the beginning probably my dad. He’s the one who introduced me to a lot of music that is still my favorite music and showed me how to play guitar when I was 7 or 8. He was also the only one who heard all the music I was writing in middle and high school ‘cause I wouldn’t share it anywhere else.
Minzenberger: I would also say my dad. Him playing guitar around the house when I was growing up inspired me to start playing myself, and he really kick-started my passion for music (as well as my sister). I have learned so much from both of them.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life and what was it?
Kapetan: Thai Lagoon, it’s our go to Thai place right by us in Humbolt Park and it’s the best Thai food I’ve ever had. We have it like once or twice a week lol.
Minzenberger: A few months ago some friends of mine threw a lovely dinner party in their backyard. They had a beautiful table setup with name cards, flowers, and a full dinner and drink menu. One of the courses was a butternut squash pasta that blew me away. Both the dinner and the company were a dream.
Tell us about the best concert you’ve ever attended.
Kapetan: The Microphones at Thalia Hall was so incredible, they only played Microphones in 2020 and the bass was so impactful, it was the most I’ve cried at a show ever.
What song never fails to make you emotional?
Kapetan: “Bankrupt On Selling” by Modest Mouse.
Minzenberger: “Reason To Believe” by Karen Dalton.
What’s the last thing you Googled?
Kapetan: The “Supreme” Brick.
Minzenberger: “Fritz Glarner”
Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?
Kapetan: There was this hotel that ended up being inside a church and the church was in this boarding school town and we had no idea how we’d got there. This was by Carleton College in Minnesota.
Minzenberger: I stayed in a tiny cabin on a campground that took about an hour or so to find this past summer. We got to the property at midnight and drove around in loops looking for it; it ended up being perched on top of a really thin, steep, gravel-covered hill. We weren’t given the cabin number when we rented it, so we had to look around in the dark with no service. The journey to finding it was the weird part! Definitely an adventure.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform and what’s the city you hope to perform in for the first time?
Kapetan: Other than Chicago, Urbana-Champaign house shows are always so fun, also New York. I really hope to play Berlin, Germany, or Hamamatsu, Japan.
Minzenberger: Chicago is definitely my favorite, but New York has always been a blast. Chaotic, but a lot of fun.
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
Kapetan: Don’t go to college for one year and dropout, just do the music thing when you graduate high school, it’s just gonna put you in debt and nothing else haha.
Minzenberger: Remember the importance of sleep and real rest!
What’s one of your hidden talents?
Kapetan: I can do 500 juggles with a soccer ball on a good day.
Minzenberger: I can make a water-drop sound by flicking my cheek.
If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, what cause would you support and why?
Kapetan: Right now Doctors Without Borders to help the people and especially children of Gaza.
What are your thoughts about AI and the future of music?
Kapetan: I can only hope its impact will be as minimal as possible. There will be a place for AI as there is with any type of technology, but hopefully not in music.
Minzenberger: I agree with Niko here, as well. AI can be a useful tool depending on the context, but the thought of it being used to create music is worrisome to me.
You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location it would be held.
Kapetan: Yuck, Sufjan Stevens, The Replacements, Frank Ocean, David Byrne, Held in Vancouver BC Canada
Minzenberger: Westerman, Cocteau Twins, Alex G, The Sundays, Kate Bush, Somewhere near the Smoky Mountains.
Who’s your favorite person to follow on social media?
Minzenberger: My sister! She is a really talented ceramic artist, and runs a studio in Chicago (The Digs). I love keeping up with her work! @zoe.minz.ceramics.
What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?
Kapetan: I’m reallyyy looking to get more the next couple years but as of right now I’ve only got two, and my first one is “xo” which I got in honor of the Elliot Smith album with the same name.
Minzenberger: I have a Clary Sage flower tattooed on my side. I was on a long trip with a good friend of mine a few years ago, and while we were stopped in Portland I impulsively decided it was time to get that tattoo done (I had been thinking about it for a while). The artist that I wanted to get it from was booked out for months, but ended up having a cancellation a few days before we left town. It felt serendipitous, and I love it!
What is your pre-show ritual?
Kapetan: We huddle and do 3-5 deep breaths and hype each other up as much as possible. Also tequila sours right now.
Minzenberger: Yes, the huddle and breaths! It helps a lot to calm down and connect with one another.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Kapetan: Emma Stone.
Minzenberger: Aragorn from Lord of the Rings.
You have a month off and the resources to take a dream vacation. Where are you going and who is coming with you?
Kapetan: I would take all my bestest friends to Greece (Because I am Greek and have never been).
Minzenberger: I would love to spend time in the Smoky mountains with close friends and my sister! Staying in a cabin and hiking/swimming/camping sounds perfect.
What is your biggest fear?
Kapetan: Falling into a pit of snakes.
Minzenberger: Probably the ocean. It’s beautiful and I have a lot of reverence for it, but it definitely scares me.
