Unfortunately for the Kops, things didn’t turn out as per the plan, as they were humbled by Lionel Messi and company at Camp Nou. While both sides were evenly impressive on paper, things turned out to be one-sided when the scoreline is referred to. Liverpool does possess one of the brightest and most talented squads in Europe, and if their performances under Jurgen Klopp is put into perspective, then it might not be long for the Reds to reach the pinnacle of football once more....

Sound familiar? It should. We’ve been here before, more than once in this postseason, scratching our heads pondering James’ greatness while the other Cavaliers scratched their bellies in futility. And so the sliver of a margin that presented itself for Cleveland on Thursday night, the thin opening for James to shock into relevance what was expected to be a ho-hum Finals with his Game 1 brilliance — 51 points on 19-for-32 shooting from the field — fell away....

Ahead of a CDC event marking the 50th anniversary of the study’s end on Wednesday, Walensky tweeted, “I will be joined by colleagues & #PublicHealth leaders as we honor the 623 African American men, their suffering & sacrifice, and our commitment to ethical research and practice.” The 40-year Tuskegee experiment, originally called the “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male,” has become synonymous with a legacy of exploitation and racism in the medical establishment....

The move comes as the federal government seeks to shift from crisis mode aiming to stop all new infections to more of a management phase, which will target a reduction in hospitalizations and deaths.

CDC stated that people who will test positive should isolate themselves for 5 days. If they don’t experience any further symptoms, they may also leave isolation.

According to a data released, the majority of covid-19 transmission “occurs early in the course of illness”. It usually happens in 1 or 2 days before we see any symptoms and 2 or 4 days after the symptoms....

As the Oklahoma wide receiver learned the Cowboys had selected him at No. 17 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, the woman sitting next to him grabbed his second phone from his hand and attempted to scroll through it. Lamb didn’t let her take advantage of his diverted attention, though, quickly snatching the phone back before giving her an annoyed side-eyed look. Lamb tried to get in front of social media speculation that the woman was his girlfriend and he was shielding information from her....

Brown has picked up the mantle in terms of scoring since Kyle Irving was ruled out for the postseason with a knee injury, averaging 20.5 points across the first six matches against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Racing out to an early double-digit lead, the Celtics controlled the game wire-to-wire and led by as many as 32 points, before cruising to a 102-82 victory at TD Garden.

Boston entered the season pegged as the favorite to come out of the East, but has ultimately been a huge disappointment to date. At 37-23, the Celtics instead find themselves as the fifth seed and nine games back of the Bucks. Despite Kyrie Irving’s optimism that the Celtics aren’t discouraged and will eventually get up to speed, things have not gone well since coming out of the All-Star break. The Celtics dropped a one-point heartbreaker at Milwaukee on Thursday before losing to a 16-45 Bulls team playing on the second night of a back-to-back Saturday....

Barcelona are looking for another magical night at the Camp Nou Stadium Wednesday when they try to secure a place in the Champions League by beating Paris Saint Germain. Barca are favourites after a 2-2 draw in Paris last week, leaving them needing just a 0-0 draw to reach the last four — but the game is more complicated than that, Xinhua reports. Paris showed a week ago that they are a side that is not willing to lay down and accept defeat after twice coming back from behind to assure a draw in virtually the last kick of the game....

There was the perception this decision would give Calipari final say on roster decisions over GM David Griffin. Griffin shot down the rumors, clearing up the story during a visit to The Doug Gottlieb Show, as James Herbert of EyeOnBasketball pointed out. “To be honest with you, I don’t think anything was ever done without my knowledge of what was being done, for one,” Griffin said. “And two, I turned down opportunities to be a GM because the fit wasn’t right, and when I sat with Dan [Gilbert] and Nate [Forbes], when we talked about our vision for the future and me having this job, I encouraged them to talk to other people....
