Spurs' De'Aaron Fox: Just Misses Double-Double Friday De'Aaron Fox contributed 19 points, nine assists, two rebounds, and one steal in the San Antonio Spurs' 116-112 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. The 28-year-old guard fell short of recording his seventh double-double of the season, finishing with 19 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the field and 1-of-8 from beyond the arc. His performance came over 30 minutes of play, marking a key contribution to the Spurs' win. Fox's near double-double highlights a recent trend in his game. Over the past 13 consecutive games, he has failed to reach double digits in assists, a departure from his earlier season output. During this stretch, he has averaged 16.2 points, 6.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals per game. Despite the decline in assist numbers, his shooting efficiency remains strong, with a 50.0% field goal percentage. The Spurs' victory over the Clippers showcased Fox's ability to impact the game in multiple ways. While his assist total fell short of a double-double, his scoring and playmaking helped drive the team's offensive efforts. The result underscores his value as a versatile offensive threat, even when his traditional assist numbers dip. Fox's performance also reflects a broader adjustment in his role within the Spurs' system. As his usage has slightly decreased, his focus has shifted toward scoring and ball distribution, with the team relying on him to create opportunities for teammates. This balance has allowed him to maintain a high level of production while adapting to the team's evolving strategies. The game against the Clippers provided a clear example of Fox's impact.#de_aaron_fox #san_antonio_spurs #los_angeles_clippers #double_double #spurs_v_clippers

Savannah Guthrie Plans Return to NBC as Search for Missing Mother Continues Savannah Guthrie, a co-host of NBC’s Today programme, has visited the network’s New York office as she prepares to return to the airwaves while the search for her missing mother continues. Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy, has been missing from her home in Arizona since 1 February, when authorities believe she was abducted. No significant clues have emerged in the nearly five weeks since her disappearance. Guthrie has remained off-air, though she has shared emotional appeals on social media for her mother’s safe return. Her co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, revealed that Guthrie had visited the Today set and expressed her intention to return to the show. However, Hager noted that no specific timeline has been set for her return. “Even though it feels like the hardest thing to do, it’s also her home and where she feels so loved,” Hager said. “And she is beyond loved here.” Guthrie last appeared on the show on 30 January, two days before her mother’s disappearance. She also stepped away from NBC’s coverage of the Winter Olympic Games as the search for Nancy intensified. The family recently offered a $1 million reward for her safe return. Authorities believe Nancy was taken from her home against her will, possibly during the night. Investigators have released images of a suspect captured on her home’s doorbell camera. Cryptocurrency ransom demands totaling around $6 million have been sent to media outlets, including one with a deadline that expired on 9 February. Detectives have received nearly 40,000 tips from the public. DNA evidence recovered from a glove—similar to one worn by the suspect in doorbell footage—found near the home did not match any profiles in the FBI database.#nbc #nancy_guthrie #savannah_guthrie #today_programme #pima_county_sheriff_office

NBC Staffers Reportedly Hoped Savannah Guthrie Wouldn’t Return Amid Tragedy: ‘You Can’t Trust Anyone’ Savannah Guthrie, the co-anchor of NBC’s Today show, plans to return to the network despite the ongoing search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie. The 54-year-old anchor revealed her intention to return to work at some point, though her focus remains on locating Nancy, who has been missing since February 1. Earlier this week, Guthrie visited colleagues at NBC’s Today studio, but a new report suggests some staffers were frustrated by the news of her eventual return. According to a March 6 report in the Daily Mail, multiple sources claimed that production staff at Today were relieved when Guthrie’s absence was initially announced. Many had grown accustomed to Hoda Kotb, who has filled in for her since Nancy’s disappearance. Some staffers reportedly felt more comfortable with Kotb’s presence, as they believed the show’s dynamic had shifted in her absence. One insider told the Daily Mail that the environment at Today had become “a viper’s nest,” with tensions running high among the team. The source added that even in difficult circumstances, the staff could not trust one another, with some fearing that colleagues might betray their positions or steal opportunities. “From the hair and makeup people to the producers, you can’t trust anyone, they all talk,” another source claimed. While the majority of staff expressed hope for Nancy’s safe return, a few were more focused on their own futures within the morning program. Some reportedly considered how they could secure more screen time or influence over the show’s direction. However, the report emphasized that the staff’s primary concern remained the search for Nancy.#nbc #nancy_guthrie #today_show #savannah_guthrie #daily_mail

Savannah Guthrie made a heartfelt return to NBC’s Today studio on March 5, 2026, for the first time since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing on January 31. The reunion, described as emotional by colleagues, marked a significant moment for the co-anchor as she shared her intentions to eventually return to the show despite the ongoing search for her mother. Guthrie expressed gratitude for the support her family has received since the disappearance, addressing her Today team during the visit. “I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me,” she told her colleagues. “I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be. I’m holding onto my faith. I still believe. And as my mom would say, ‘Where else would I go?’” Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on January 31 in Tucson, Arizona, where police believe she was abducted. Investigators have released doorbell camera footage of a masked suspect and shared a description of the potential abductor, though no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly named. Guthrie’s return to the studio came just weeks after her mother’s disappearance, during which she has been on hiatus from the show. Retired Today host Hoda Kotb has been filling in for her. Guthrie emphasized her desire to return to the Today team, though she has not set a specific timeline. “I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family. And I would like to try,” she said. Her colleagues praised her resilience and the emotional impact of her visit. During the reunion, Today’s weather correspondent Dylan Dreyer led a group prayer, stating, “We’re here holding hands as a family, in a place where we don’t understand why this is happening. It is not too bold to ask God for the biggest miracles every day.#savannah_guthrie #nancy_guthrie #tucson_arizona #today_show #hoda_kotb

Wahl in Baden-Württemberg: AfD-Frohnmaier ist ein Fake-Kandidat Die AfD könnte in Baden-Württemberg historische Ergebnisse erzielen, wie Umfragen zeigen. Die Rechtsrandpartei könnte bei 18 Prozent liegen, was deutlich über dem vorherigen Wert von 9,7 Prozent liegt. Dieser Erfolg könnte sich besonders in der Region um Stuttgart manifestieren, wo die Partei ihre Stärke aufbauen will. Ein zentraler Fokus der Wahlkampagne ist Markus Frohnmaier, der als „Ministerpräsidentenkandidat“ präsentiert wird. Frohnmaier, 35 Jahre alt, ist jedoch nicht auf der Wählerliste der 7,7 Millionen Wahlberechtigten in Baden-Württemberg verzeichnet. Die AfD hat ihn als Fake-Kandidaten aufgestellt, um ihn in der Öffentlichkeit präsentieren zu können, ohne tatsächlich zur Wahl zu stehen. Dieses Vorgehen ist für die Partei strategisch sinnvoll, da in Baden-Württemberg auch jemand zum Regierungschef gewählt werden kann, der nicht im Landtag sitzt. Frohnmaier ist bereits Bundestagsabgeordneter und hat seine Karriere weit außerhalb der Landespolitik verbracht. Frohnmaier gilt als umstrittener Politiker. Er war lange mit dem Etikett „Russland-Nähe“ versehen, da er enge Kontakte zu Moskau unterhielt. Berichte beschrieben ihn als „unter absoluter Kontrolle“ stehenden Abgeordneten, der in Kreml-Dokumenten erwähnt wurde. Zudem standen seine Ehefrau, eine russische Journalistin, und andere Vertrauten in Verbindung mit Kreml-treuen Rechtsaußen. Frohnmaier war zudem eng mit Alice Weidel, der Parteichefin der AfD, verbunden. Er war ihr Sprecher und Büroleiter und führte deren Landesverband in Baden-Württemberg. Zudem hatte er eine Schlüsselrolle bei den Kontakten zur Trump-Gruppe in den USA. Seine Karriere ist von einer starken Förderung durch die Partei geprägt.#markus_frohnmaier #afd #baden_wurttemberg #alice_weidel #trump_group

AfD Calls for Conservative Government Amid Election Results | swp.de The state branch of the AfD in Baden-Württemberg has expressed support for the CDU despite the party's gains in the recent election, indicating a potential coalition offer. The AfD's leadership, however, acknowledges that their electoral performance fell short of expectations. The election results, which saw the AfD secure a smaller share of the vote than anticipated, have prompted the party to shift its focus toward forming a conservative government with the CDU. The AfD's state leadership, led by its top officials, has decided to approach the CDU with a coalition proposal, despite the CDU's earlier advances in the race. This move comes as the AfD's election campaign, which initially aimed for a stronger showing, has been deemed less successful than hoped. The party's top candidate, Markus Frohnmaier, has been at the center of the campaign, expressing satisfaction with the results despite not achieving the higher goals initially set. The election results in Baden-Württemberg have highlighted the AfD's struggle to gain significant traction in the state, with their vote share remaining relatively low compared to the CDU and other mainstream parties. The AfD's leadership has emphasized the need for a united conservative front, positioning itself as a key player in the state's political landscape. However, the party's ability to secure a substantial role in the coalition remains uncertain, given the current electoral standings. Frohnmaier's campaign, which was expected to attract a broader voter base, has faced challenges in mobilizing support. While the AfD has managed to secure some votes, the overall outcome has not met the party's ambitions.#election_results #markus_frohnmaier #afd #cdu #baden_wurttemberg

AfD Vetternwirtschaftskontroversen um Markus Frohnmaier: Familie und Wahlkampfmanagerin im Fokus Markus Frohnmaier, Spitzenkandidat der AfD für die Landtagswahl in Baden-Württemberg, gerät erneut in die Schlagzeile, nachdem t-online-Recherchen eine weitere Beschäftigung von Familienmitgliedern im Parteiapparat enthüllten. Laut den Berichten erhielt sein Vater 2025 einen Arbeitsvertrag bei Diana Zimmer, der damals in den Bundestag eingezogen war. Zimmer ist zudem Frohnmaiers Wahlkampfmanagerin und Mitglied des Landesvorstands. Die Affäre um die Familienverbindungen in der Partei setzt die AfD-Spitze unter Druck, da sie bereits zuvor Vorwürfe gegen Frohnmaier wegen der Beschäftigung seiner Ehefrau und Schwester bekannt waren. Die Skandalentwicklung begann mit der Enthüllung, dass Frohnmaiers Ehefrau als Büroleiterin bei Johann Martel, einem AfD-Bundestagsabgeordneten, angestellt war. Danach berichtete "Politico" im Podcast "Inside AfD", dass Frohnmaiers Schwester in den 2010er-Jahren bei Harald Pfeiffer, einem ehemaligen Landtagsabgeordneten, beschäftigt war. Alle Beteiligten stammen aus dem Landesverband Baden-Württemberg, was die Vorwürfe um Vetternwirtschaft verschärft. Frohnmaier selbst kommentierte die Angelegenheit mit der Aussage, er könne sich nicht zu Beschäftigungsverhältnissen anderer Personen äußern. Diana Zimmer betonte, sie wolle sich nicht zu Personalangelegenheiten ihres Büros äußern. Die Affäre wirft Fragen auf, insbesondere wegen der engen Verbindung zwischen Zimmer und Frohnmaier. Die 28-jährige Abgeordnete, die 2024 in den Landesvorstand und 2025 in den Bundestag einziehen konnte, organisiert für Frohnmaier und den Landesverband den Wahlkampf. In der Partei wird ihr schneller Aufstieg auf ihr Verhältnis zu Frohnmaier zurückgeführt.#markus_frohnmaier #diana_zimmer #baden_wrttemberg #afd #landtagswahl

A mobile phone game inspired by the Malayalam movie ‘Vilayath Budha’ A mobile phone game inspired by the Malayalam movie ‘Vilayath Budha’ has made waves as it marks a significant milestone in the intersection of film and gaming. The open-world mobile game, titled Vilayath Budha: The Sandalwood Survival, features actor Prithviraj Sukumaran and was not developed as part of the film’s promotional efforts. The game’s creators, Offline Human Studios, have secured intellectual property consent to use assets from the film, including Prithviraj’s likeness. Released in February 2026, the game is credited as India’s first movie-inspired open-world mobile game and the first collaboration between a production house, Urvasi Theatres, and a gaming company. The project also stands out for featuring Prithviraj, a South Indian actor known for his pan-India appeal, in a game of this scale. The Malayalam film Vilayath Budha, released in 2025, is based on the novel of the same name by GR Indugopan. It follows the story of Double Mohanan, a sandalwood smuggler, his mentor Bhaskaran Master, and the sacred sandalwood tree, Vilayath Budha. Prithviraj portrays Mohanan in the film. Karthik Suresh, a co-founder of Offline Human Studios, emphasized that the game was not a promotional tool for the film. “There is a perception that this is a promotion for the film. It is not,” he said. The game was developed independently, with its early access launch in early February 2026, months after the film’s November 2025 release. The team had been working on the project for over six months, aiming to create an immersive experience that leverages the film’s narrative and setting.#vilayath_budha #prithviraj_sukumaran #offline_human_studios #urvasi_theatres #marayoor
