Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:27:21 GMT

OTTAWA, ONTARIO (AP) — President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday celebrated the close, “inseparable” U.S.-Canada relationship and vowed that the two nations remain committed to defending Ukraine as it tries to repel a Russian invasion that has no end in sight.Biden and Trudeau met just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks for the first time since the start of the war. The Chinese and Russian leader agreed to deepen economic bonds between their two countries. But Biden argued that Western resolve remains stronger and warned Russia that the U.S., Canada and their allies would defend “every inch of NATO territory.”The president also bristled at the notion that Russia has managed to expand a partnership with Beijing that is allowing Moscow to sustain its economy and war effort despite the U.S. lining up an international coalition to economically isolate Russia with a barrage of sanctions. China, however, thus...

Clippers’ Leonard to team: ‘dial in deeper’ without George

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:27:21 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — That sound heard this week was the Los Angeles Clippers breathing a sigh of relief that Paul George’s knee injury wasn’t as devastating as it first appeared.The All-Star guard suffered a sprained right knee after going down hard in the closing minutes of a one-point loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. An MRI showed no major structural damage, and depending upon his condition when he’s reevaluated in two to three weeks, George could be back in time for the first round of the playoffs that begin April 15.“We got the best-case scenario as far as what we thought it could be,” coach Tyronn Lue said. “His spirits are down, but that’s to be expected when it’s late in the season and when you want to help your team.”In the meantime, plenty of minutes are available for the taking. Eric Gordon started in George’s place in a 127-105 win over the Thunder on Thursday, and he’ll keep that spot while George is out. Reserve Bones...
