Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:31:12 GMT

(CNN) — A pair of new laws in Mississippi is leaving Jackson divided, with some hoping they will save a capital city wracked by a rise in homicides while others see an echo of a racist past.As part of the laws, the state of Mississippi will expand its law enforcement reach over the entire city of Jackson and implement major changes to its judicial system.Democratic elected officials in Jackson call the laws a “slap in the face of our city” and a regression toward the state’s painful Civil Rights era past.

A year after fading from playoff view, Heat’s Duncan Robinson again drawing postseason notice

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:31:12 GMT

A year ago, Duncan Robinson essentially was finished at the start when it came to the postseason. Even with a 27-point playoff-opening performance in a victory over the Atlanta Hawks, the writing was on the wall for the Miami Heat’s 3-point specialist.Soon enough, his job would become Max Strus’ job, largely because of concerns on the defensive end.By the second game of the 2022 postseason, Robinson was down to seven minutes of action. He would not play more than 14 for over a month. Five times during the Heat’s run within a game of the NBA Finals, he was held out by coach’s decision, including the playoff finale against the Boston Celtics.This season, it appeared it would be trending in that direction again for the fifth-year guard.Then starting shooting guard Tyler Herro broke his right hand in Game 1 of this best-of-seven Eastern Conference series against the Milwaukee Bucks. And then Robinson became something he hadn’t been for most of the past 12 m...
