LeBron James’ latest absence for the Los Angeles Lakers ended a 21-year streak that might not be rivaled in NBA history.James has officially hit 18 missed games this season, as he sits out Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. As a result, James won’t be able to hit the 65-game minimum needed to be considered for league awards, as per the collective bargaining agreement.So, for the first time since 2004, James won’t be on the All-NBA teams. What didn’t help James’ case was missing the first 14 games of the 2025-26 season due to sciatica. Given James is 41 years old, there was always going to be load management absences, especially on back-to-backs.That is the case in this Tuesday night matchup, as the Lakers are on the second night of a back-to-back after losing to the league-best Oklahoma City Thunder, 119-110, on Monday night in Los Angeles.LAKERS’ LEBRON JAMES SHRUGS OFF REPORTERD TENSION WITH JEANIE BUSS:’IT DON’T BOTHER ME’James’ injury designation is currently left foot arthritis, and head coach JJ Redick is also dealing with Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves and Marcus Smart all ruled out, forcing him to get creative with his…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! American-born Team China Olympic skier Eileen Gu came under immense scrutiny on social media this week after making comments about President Donald Trump’s recent criticism of U.S. Olympian Hunter Hess.Gu, who was born in San Francisco, is the highest-paid Winter Olympic athlete in the world, making an estimated $23 million in 2025 alone in partnerships with Chinese companies, including the Bank of China, and western companies. Gu has said she represents China for her mother, who was born there.Gu has never spoken out against China’s alleged human rights abuses, including the nation’s alleged systematic campaign of repression against Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. However, Gu has commented on Trump’s criticism of Hess for expressing “mixed emotions” about representing the U.S. in Milan Cortina. “I’m sorry that the headline that is eclipsing the Olympics has to be something so unrelated to the spirit of the Games. It really runs contrary to everything the Olympics should be,” Gu told reporters Monday.”The whole point of sport is to bring people together. … One of the very few common languages, that of the human body, that of the human…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Rescuers in Italy reported Monday that at least a dozen skiers, climbers and hikers died over the past week in a record-setting tragedy in the country’s mountainous terrain.While authorities said 11 of the 12 victims were killed in avalanches triggered by exceptionally unstable conditions on ungroomed backcountry slopes, The Associated Press reported a total of 13 deaths.The incidents occurred just as the Winter Olympics began in the region last Friday. Authorities stressed that the game sites — located in Lombardy on the Swiss border, Cortina d’Ampezzo in Veneto, and Val di Fiemme in Trentino — remain safe, well-maintained and closely monitored. Italy’s specialist mountain-rescue organization revealed that the fatal disasters were caused by weak layers of fresh snow, unstable enough that the passage of a single person could trigger an avalanche.POWER OUTAGE HALTS MILAN CORTINA OLYMPICS CURLING COMPETITION MOMENTS AFTER MATCHES BEGIN The main issue is caused by “persistent weak layers in the snowy cloak, often covered by fresh snow or wind: conditions that make detachments unpredictable and easily triggered even by the passing of a single skier or alpinist,” the National Alpine and Speleological Rescue Corps said. “The dangerous points are many…
The Navy presented two recipients with an esteemed award that recognizes the best surface warfare officer from each coast, according to a Navy release.Lt. Cmdr. Carolyn Bystrom received the honor for her service with Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet, while Lt. Cmdr. Brian Van Metre earned the Atlantic Fleet’s Surface Warfare Officer of the Year award. “This prestigious distinction honors those who embody the core values and ethos of the SWO community — demonstrating exceptional leadership, professionalism, and warfighting proficiency,” the release said.Bystrom was awarded for her time aboard the USS Spruance as the vessel’s plans and tactics officer. She credited her success on the vessel to advocating for herself and for other sailors. She also said she always prioritizes maintaining a high degree of expertise and proficiency, as other service members look to her to lead.Cmdr. Leigh Tatum, Spruance’s commanding officer, said she had a knack for evaluating herself to get better as well.“She really does embody ‘Get Real, Get Better,’” Tatum said. “We have a mantra on our ship. We call it ruthless self-assessment.”Get Real, Get Better is a Navy initiative meant to strengthen service-wide culture by emboldening leadership and problem-solving, according to the Navy website.Bystrom has…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Republican Sen. Susan Collins is well aware of the tough path ahead as she officially kicks off her 2026 re-election campaign in blue-leaning Maine.Collins is the top target for Senate Democrats as they try to win back the chamber’s majority in November’s midterm elections.”Chuck Schumer has made me once again — this is the third time he’s done this — his number one target,” Collins said in an interview with Fox News Digital soon after she announced her re-election bid, as she pointed to the longtime top Democrat in the Senate.Collins took to social media a couple of hours earlier to declare, “GOOD NEWS! I am ALL-IN for 2026.”LONGTIME REPUBLICAN SENATOR MAKES A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT Democrats have long targeted the 73-year-old Collins, who was first elected to the Senate three decades ago, but keep coming up short.”I will be outspent as I was in 2020, but fortunately, Maine people are famously independent. They look at the individual candidates, and they don’t just necessarily vote a party line,” the senator said.Collins was one of the Senate Republicans who voted to convict after the House impeached President Donald Trump in 2021, following the Jan.…
As the Chinese People’s Liberation Army edges toward its goal of invading Taiwan by 2027, experts argue that Washington must reexamine a long-standing U.S.-Japan blueprint that aims to shift nearly 10,000 Marines away from Okinawa.The Defense Policy Review Initiative (DPRI) — intended to make the U.S. military presence less burdensome for the island’s residents — will instead dangerously weaken deterrence against Beijing, according to a report for the Atlantic Council from Lt. Col. Caleb Eames, a senior Marine Corps fellow, and Amy Cowley, an assistant director at the council’s Forward Defense program.The time for the U.S. to adjust its posture is now, they write. The Pentagon has shown a willingness to dismantle entrenched programs and the Trump administration’s tariff policies have created leverage to agree to new terms with the Japanese government.“Washington has a window of opportunity to rework old DPRI agreements in a new, substantial way,” Eames and Cowley argue.Under the plan as it stands, the U.S. and Japan agreed to move 5,000 Marines and 1,300 dependents from Okinawa to Guam; 2,700 Marines and 2,000 dependents to Hawaii; 1,300 Marines to Australia; and 800 Marines to locations in the continental U.S. The first tranche of 100 troops, however, only…

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that a Supreme Court ruling against President Donald Trump’s use of emergency tariff powers would be a “gigantic loss” for Americans, citing the policy’s role in pressuring China and other countries to negotiate.”President Trump has used his IEEPA [International Emergency Economic Powers Act] authority consistently throughout the year to negotiate better deals for the American people,” Bessent said Sunday on “Sunday Morning Futures.””It’s an emergency authority, and what was an emergency if it wasn’t the fentanyl crisis? We are seeing Canada, Mexico, [and] China come to the table to stop this scourge of the American people,” he added.‘CAN YOU SHUT HIM UP?’ WATERS AND TREASURY’S BESSENT CLASH OVER TRUMP’S ECONOMIC AGENDA Bessent pointed to an October confrontation with Beijing as an example of how the authority has been used, saying China backed away from threatened rare-earth export controls after the White House warned of steep tariffs that could have disrupted the global economy.TOP AMERICAN PASTA BRANDS READY TO TAKE OVER AMID TARIFFS ON IMPORTED PRODUCTS He argued the emergency powers have given the administration critical leverage in negotiations, and warned that stripping the president of that authority…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As someone who has spent decades training professional truck drivers, I take highway safety very seriously. America’s economy depends on a national freight network that moves goods through every state, across every major highway corridor, and into every community. When safety standards for commercial drivers are weakened anywhere, the consequences ripple across the entire country, putting motorists, supply chains and professional drivers at risk.That’s why I was deeply troubled by recent remarks from Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett during a House Judiciary Committee hearing, suggesting that English language proficiency is not necessary to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. She equated it to the same practice as someone driving a rental car in a foreign country where they might not speak the language. Her assertion is misguided, dangerous and dismissive of the professionalism of America’s truck drivers.Operating an 80,000-pound commercial vehicle is not remotely comparable to driving a passenger vehicle. A commercial driver is not simply following turn-by-turn directions from point A to point B. They are navigating complex highway systems, responding to emergency situations, complying with law enforcement instructions, interpreting roadside signage, understanding weather alerts, and coordinating with dispatchers, first responders and inspectors —…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was named the MVP of Super Bowl LX.The fourth-year running back had 27 carries for 135 yards, making himself by far the best offensive player on the field.Walker had no choice but to be the bell cow for the Seahawks after Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in the NFC Championship game two weeks ago. By the second quarter, Walker had already joined Timmy Smith and Marcus Allen with multiple 25-yard runs in a Super Bowl.Walker was unable to find the end zone — in fact, Seattle’s only offensive touchdown came from A.J. Barner. However, Walker’s dominance on the ground helped get Seattle into scoring position. Jason Myers went 5-for-5 on his field-goal attempts after Walker’s ground-and-pound effort. Walker’s 135 yards on the ground are tied for the eighth most in Super Bowl history and the second most he has ever had in a game, including playoffs.Walker’s rushing prop had been hovering around 70 yards, which he surpassed in the first half.The running back is also slated to be a free agent when the new NFL season begins next month, so it’s certainly not a bad…
PARIS — Western navies are betting on modularity to keep their fleets relevant in the face of fast-changing technology, according to naval commanders gathered in Paris last week, with an ability to switch out equipment that the Dutch navy chief likened to clipping Lego bricks onto vessels.New naval designs increasingly incorporate containerized payloads, and the commanders of the United States, Italian, Dutch and British navies cited advantages including mission flexibility, quickly getting firepower on the water, and at-sea replenishment.Italy’s new Thaon di Revel-class patrol frigates have been designed to carry containerized mission modules, while the Netherlands announced a class of multi-role support ships mounting containers loaded with anything from air-defense missiles to electronic-warfare kit or assault drones. The United States Navy has said its new frigate will be fitted with containerized mission packages.“All our future ships, they will be specifically designed for this kind of capability,” said Adm. Giuseppe Berutti Bergotto, chief of staff of the Italian Navy, speaking at the Paris Naval Conference. “The primary role of the ship will be the same, but the ship needs to have this capability to be ready to attack different missions.”The modularity of the patrol frigate “was a great idea” that the…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Mike Macdonald can call himself a Super Bowl champion head coach in only his second season on the sidelines for the Seattle Seahawks.The Seahawks put on an impressive defensive display in the team’s Super Bowl LX win over the New England Patriots, 29-13. Macdonald celebrated with his team on the field at Levi’s Stadium and was asked by NBC’s Maria Taylor what the win meant to him. “I believe God called me to be a coach and I listened to Him and I think Him,” Macdonald said. “We are incredibly blessed to be Seahawks, to be 12s. And now, we’re world champions.”Macdonald, somehow, engineered a defense to deter Patriots quarterback Drake Maye the entire night. He made one or two clutch throws, but it was far from enough as Seattle made him uncomfortable throughout the night. PATRIOTS’ DRAKE MAYE SHARES HEARTFELT SIDELINE MOMENT WITH WIFE ANN MICHAEL BEFORE SUPER BOWL DEBUTThe Seahawks’ defense sacked Maye six times during the night. He threw two interceptions and lost a fumble. Seattle’s Uchenna Nwosu returned one of those interceptions for a touchdown to help slam the door on any hopes of a New England comeback.Seattle’s…

Adrenaline was running high for Austrian snowboarder Benjamin Karl after winning a second straight Olympic gold medal in the men’s parallel giant slalom on Sunday.And that adrenaline had him not feeling the cold temperatures, as he ripped off his jacket and clothes in celebration.Karl, 40, was flexing his arms and screaming, ripping off his jacket and four layers of clothes during his celebration. He was even seen face down on the snow, which was surely cold, but he didn’t care. Karl was an Olympic gold medalist once again, and that’s all that mattered at the moment.Before his medal-winning run, Karl was trailing South Korea’s Kim Sang-kyum for most of the final race, when he took full advantage of Kim’s mistake.US TAKES GOLD IN FIGURE SKATING TEAM EVENT AT WINTER OLYMPICSKarl crossed the finish line 0.19 seconds ahead of his South Korean opponent to win gold at Livigno Snow Park.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show is officially behind us. Mercifully. What began with hype and outrage, and then more outrage, ended with a show most charitably described as polarizing and confusing for those who were not already Bad Bunny fans. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell promised that Bad Bunny would use the show to unite the world “in a really creative and fun way.” It turns out that he was right. Most of the country, with the exception of some Democrats like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, was united in its revulsion over a show that was narrowly tailored to a niche audience despite being billed as inclusive and respectful of America.The pre-show hype around Bad Bunny’s invitation to perform at this year’s Super Bowl began with his SNL demand that viewers “learn Spanish.” He walked the dig back at the pre-Super Bowl press conference, but the sentiment ended up being true.Then there was the online rumor that Bad Bunny would wear a dress during his halftime performance and honor Hispanic LGBTQ+ figures. That turned out to be a hoax.BAD BUNNY’S SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW IGNITES TRUMP’S FURY, DIVIDES VIEWERSYou’ve got to hand…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Seattle Seahawks’ dominant defense led the way to a Super Bowl LX victory over the New England Patriots, 29-13, on Sunday night.It’s the first time since 2013 that the Seahawks have won the Super Bowl, and it is some revenge for how the 2014 season ended with Patriots hero Malcolm Butler’s famous interception at the goal line to halt Seattle’s chances at back-to-back Lombardi Trophies.This wasn’t an offensive shootout in this game, but rather a stellar defensive battle for both teams. But it was the Seahawks’ defense that had constant pressure and disruption throughout, as well as the necessary turnovers crucial to winning a Super Bowl. The Seahawks had a good start on the opening drive of the game, as Jason Myers kicked through a 33-yard field goal to start the scoring.But it got slow in that department from there. Drake Maye and the Patriots couldn’t get anything going against Seattle, the NFL’s top defense this season, punting on all five of their first-half drives until Maye kneeled out the remaining seconds in the second quarter.Myers was able to kick through two more field goals for the Seahawks, as Sam Darnold and…
