Celtics' Jaylen Brown critical of refs for 'agenda,' calls out 76ers' Joel Embiid

Celtics' Jaylen Brown critical of refs for 'agenda,' calls out 76ers' Joel Embiid

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown on Sunday criticized officiating in the team's first-round loss to Philadelphia and also pointed at 76ers center Joel Embiid for flopping.

Field Level Media

Brown spoke on the streaming platform Twitch on Sunday, a day after the second-seeded Celtics lost Game 7 at home to the seventh-seeded 76ers in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Boston played without injured star forward Jayson Tatum, but Brown found other reasons for the Celtics' downfall as Philadelphia won the last three games in the best-of-seven series.

Embiid collected 34 points, 12 rebounds and six assists in the 76ers' 109-100 victory on Saturday. The 7-foot, 270-pounder was 9 of 11 at the free-throw line. He used his big body to draw fouls and used some physical acting to get extra calls, Brown contended.

"I mean, this is my personal opinion on basketball," Brown said. "Some of y'all might disagree, you know what I mean? But argue with your grandma. Flopping has ruined our game.

"Embiid is a great player, one of the best bigs in ... basketball history, flops," Brown continued. "He knows it. This ain't breaking news."

Brown acknowledged that he has been critical of officiating in the regular season, and he believes that carried over in how referees called the series, particularly in calling offensive fouls on him.

"Why are you targeting me? They clearly had an agenda," he said. "Maybe because I spoke, I was critical of the refs in the regular season. So you know how they responded? ‘We're gonna call every -- you're gonna lead the playoffs in offensive fouls.' That was the response from the officiating crew.

"You could clearly tell," he continued. "I've actually spoken to some refs and they said it was an agenda going into each game. ‘Any time Jaylen brings his arm up, just from reputation, just call it.' "

Brown said that Paul George of the 76ers and Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks, for example, make push-off moves with their off arm when driving with the ball to create space, but they don't get called like he does for offensive fouls.

"It's a basketball play, whether y'all believe it or not," Brown said. "Everybody does that when you drive, especially if you've got bodies on you. But Philly took advantage of it, and they took advantage of the officiating. It cost us to some degree. I've been doing it all regular season, not a problem. Now, all of a sudden, it's an offensive foul every time. Keep that same energy with everybody else. That's all I've gotta say."

Brown was whistled for 10 offensive fouls in the first round, more than twice as many as the next-highest player, according to reports. In the regular season, the Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns was called for 65 offensive fouls, with Brown second in the league at 40.

Brown, 29, is a five-time All-Star who won the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award when the Celtics captured the league championship in 2024.

He averaged career highs with 28.7 points and 5.1 assists and matched the mark with 6.9 rebounds per game in 71 regular-season games this season. Brown averaged 25.7 points, 3.3 assists and 5.7 rebounds in seven playoff games.

Costa Rica's top newspaper says US revoked visas of its executives, prompting press freedom concerns

Costa Rica's top newspaper says US revoked visas of its executives, prompting press freedom concerns

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — The United States has revoked the visas of several board executives at La Nación, one ofCosta Rica’sleading media outlets, triggering fresh accusations that the U.S. — in conjunction with the allied Costa Rican government — is stripping visas to punish critics and political opponents.

Associated Press

In a statement that ran as the newspaper’s front page on Sunday, the board of directors said that the affected members first learned they had been stripped of their visas to enter the U.S. from reports in pro-government media.

La Nación has long been a thorn in the side of outgoingCosta Rican PresidentRodrigo Chaves,a close allyof U.S. President Donald Trumpwho has agreed to accept up to 100 third-country deportees a monthas part of the Trump administration's efforts to ramp up deportations.

The newspaper, which Chaves has berated since it published allegations of sexual harassment during his 2022 presidential campaign, said that the U.S. gave no reason for the visa revocations.

The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“We fully recognize that the United States, like any sovereign state, has the power to determine the terms of entry into its territory,” La Nación said. “However, it is unprecedented in Costa Rica’s recent history for visas to be revoked from members of the board of a general-interest and independent newspaper.”

The move appeared to mark the latest instance of the Trump administrationdeployingimmigrationrestrictionsto punish itspolitical foes, and prompted sharp criticism from political opposition and press freedom organizations in Costa Rica, which demanded that Costa Rican and U.S. authorities provide an explanation for what happened.

“If this decision is based on their critical stance toward this government, it would be yet another troubling signal for our democratic system," the organizations said in a statement, adding that failing to provide transparent information would “constitute an unacceptable form of complicity.”

Mauricio Herrera, journalist and former Costa Rican communications minister from 2015 to 2018, went a step further, saying “there is no doubt that the cancellation of visas for its board of directors is in response to a request from the Costa Rican government.”

"The sanction seeks to intimidate those who dare to dissent and exercise their freedom of expression,” Herrera told The Associated Press.

A string of high-profile individuals have had their visas canceled in Costa Rica, where the aggressivegoverning styleof conservative President Chaves has drawn criticism for eroding democratic norms.

Last year, the U.S.revoked the visaof Nobel laureate and former Costa Rican President Óscar Arias, an outspoken critic of President Trump, as well as that of his brother, then-legislative president Rodrigo Arias, who said he believed the U.S. decision was made at the request of Chaves.

Oppositionlawmakers— like Francisco Nicolás from the centrist National Liberation Party and independent Cynthia Córdoba, both known for their vocal criticism of Chaves — also had their U.S. visas canceled in recent months, as did Constitutional Court Judge Fernando Cruz, an advocate for migrant rights who last month found himself unable to travel to the U.S. to receive an award from Northwestern Law School.

Chaves, who has cooperated extensively with the Trump administration toreceive deporteesfrom other countries and extradite suspected drug traffickers to the U.S., will leave office on Friday andhand over powerto his handpicked successor,President-elect Laura Fernández.

Abortion pill makers ask US Supreme Court to restore mail-order access

Abortion pill makers ask US Supreme Court to restore mail-order access

By Ismail Shakil

Reuters

May 2 (Reuters) - Two drugmakers have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to restore mail-order access to mifepristone, a move that would continue to allow women access to one of the most widely used abortion methods pending ongoing legal challenges.

Danco Laboratories ‌and GenBioPro both filed applications with the top court on Saturday, one day after an appeals court temporarily blocked deliveries, significantly curtailing ‌access to the drug nationwide and particularly in states that have banned abortion.

The lower court's ruling, while temporary, is the first to significantly curtail access to mifepristone in a series of ​lawsuits challenging the drug's initial approval in 2000 and subsequent rules making it easier to obtain.

It also highlights the latest front in the battle over access to abortion since the Supreme Court in 2022 overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that had recognized a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.

Nearly half of U.S. states have banned or severely restricted abortion since then, driving a surge in medication abortion and spurring a series of legal battles over access to ‌the pills.

Friday's pause "injects immediate confusion and upheaval into highly ⁠time-sensitive medical decisions—and it forces Danco, FDA, certified Mifeprex providers, patients, and pharmacies all to guess at what is allowed and what is not," Danco said, citing its brand-name version of the drug.

GenBioPro separately said it "firmly believes all people ⁠have a right to access safe, affordable, evidence-based health care."

Mifepristone, which is used in about two-thirds of U.S. abortions, is part of a two-drug regimen along with misoprostol to terminate a pregnancy within the first 10 weeks.

In 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration under former Democratic President Joe Biden lifted a restriction that had required ​mifepristone ​to be given in-person, saying the drug was safe and effective.

On Friday, a conservative ​three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court ‌of Appeals unanimously ruled that the Republican-led state of Louisiana was likely to prevail in its challenge to the regulation.

Louisiana had sued the FDA, saying the agency had ignored the risks of serious adverse events such as sepsis and hemorrhaging.

Restricting access to mifepristone, including through telehealth appointments with out-of-state providers, has been a top priority for Louisiana and other Republican-led states that have banned abortion.

Republican President Donald Trump's administration has said it is examining mifepristone's safety, but media reports have said the review has been delayed until after the November midterm elections. Republican lawmakers are also investigating the drug.

A U.S. district ‌judge earlier in April had paused Louisiana's lawsuit pending the administration's review.

GenBioPro in its statement ​said it remains "concerned that anti-abortion special interests are attempting to undermine the US Food and ​Drug Administration’s regulatory authority."

Other groups have also raised concerns.

"Our nation is ​once again facing a generational-defining moment for women’s healthcare," legal organization Democracy Forward President and CEO Skye Perryman said in ‌a statement.

"The assault on women’s health in America did not ​stop when we lost Dobbs," wrote ​Perryman, who helped push for mail access for the drug previously as the top lawyer for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Both GenBioPro and Danco Laboratories intervened in Louisiana's lawsuit to defend the FDA regulation.

Mifeprex is Danco's only product while GenBioPro derives most of its ​revenue from a generic version. Evita Solutions also makes ‌a generic version.

The Supreme Court in 2024 took up a separate challenge to the mail-order rule by medical groups and doctors, ​but said they lacked legal standing to sue. Missouri, Kansas and Idaho have taken over that case, which is pending.

Ducks claim first playoff series win since 2017, oust Oilers

Ducks claim first playoff series win since 2017, oust Oilers

Chris Kreider, Troy Terry and Leo Carlsson all scored once in three-point outings as the Anaheim Ducks advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs with a 5-2 home-ice victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 on Thursday.

Field Level Media

Cutter Gauthier collected one goal and one assist while Ryan Poehling added a goal for Anaheim, which claimed the Western Conference quarterfinal series 4-2. Goaltender Lukas Dostal made 25 saves as the Ducks recorded their first postseason series victory since 2017.

Reflecting on the series, Terry said, "The first period of the first game, you could see the nerves, but that first game was huge for us. We didn't win, but we proved to ourselves we could play with that team.

"To beat that team is pretty special."

The Ducks' opponent in the Western Conference semifinals will be the winner of the series between the Golden Knights and Utah Mammoth, which Vegas leads 3-2.

Connor Murphy and Vasily Podkolzin tallied for the Oilers, who lost in the Stanley Cup Final in each of the previous two seasons. Goalie Connor Ingram stopped 26 shots.

"Never really found what you need to find this time of year, especially to go all the way," Edmonton star Leon Draisaitl said. "In my opinion, just not good enough. ... They were the better team."

For the first time in the series, Anaheim opened the scoring. Poehling's fourth tally of the playoffs came just before the midway point of the first period. After the line's workmanlike effort to gain possession of the puck in the offensive zone, John Carlson sent a point shot that ricocheted off a defender and then the back of Poehling's leg before going into the net.

Kreider doubled the lead four minutes later with his first of the series, a one-timer off the rush that found the mark on the short side to make his 35th birthday all the better.

Murphy put the Oilers on the board 91 seconds later with a tap-in tally during a scramble. However, Gauthier restored Anaheim's two-goal edge with his team's eighth power-play goal of the series, benefitting when his shot redirected off a defender's stick and into the net at 16:50 of the opening frame.

Anaheim scored with the man-advantage in all six games.

"We knew coming into it, we like our best game," Terry said. "I thought our special teams were good, our back end played great on their big guys. We just got timely scoring and good goaltending."

Less than one minute after the Oilers had a goal waved off, Terry made it a 4-1 game by burying a shot from the slot with 46.5 seconds remaining in the second period.

Podkolzin's goal 73 seconds into the third period -- a shot was going wide of the net but banked off Podkolzin's leg and into the cage -- provided a spark for a possible Oilers comeback.

However, Carlsson quashed the rally hopes by scoring an empty-net goal with 3:34 to go.

Oilers captain Connor McDavid said, "We've been searching for consistency all year. Obviously we didn't find it in the playoffs.

"We were an average team all year. An average team with high expectations, you're gonna be disappointed. We expected to have a longer run than we did."
