In fact, championship contenders - an umbrella the Nuggets fall in under - need to at some point cut corners for the sake of durability. The NBA Playoffs aren't over in mere days. It's a two-month competitive extravaganza where players often shut off communication with much of the outside world, and are rarely available for anything but traveling, practices, games, and mandatory media sessions.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Rep. David Trone (D-Md.) sold between $450,007 and $1 million in bonds from major U.S. banks last month, shortly before the second- and third-largest bank failures in U.S. history stirred up turmoil in the nation’s banking sector, according to a new filing . Key Facts Trone sold the fixed income securities from Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo on February 16. That was roughly three weeks before confidence in the banking industry crashed as Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank failed and concerns mounted about how large banks’ involvement in the run largely targeting regional banks could spread the contagion.

REUTERS/Florence Lo/Illustration/File photo SEOUL  – South Korea’s trade ministry said on Wednesday that the United States’ proposed rules to prevent $52 billion in chip funding from being used by “countries of concern” will not force recipients to shut down their China factories.
