GEORGIA TECH 87, CENTRAL ARKANSAS 68Before the 2024/25 NBA season started, many people made their predictions as to who would be the top teams in their respective conferences. Out West, the Oklahoma City Thunder have lived up to those expectations so far while the Philadelphia 76ers have been very disappointing in the East. It was thought that Paul George would be the missing key to help the Sixers get over the playoff hump. However, the only team George continuously seems to help out is the Thunder, despite it being five years since he last played for the franchise. PG to LA trade has aged like fine wine... for OKC Back in the summer of 2019, the OKC Thunder and Paul George mutually parted ways as the nine-time All-Star wanted to join forces with Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers. In that trade package , OKC received Danilo Gallinari, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, 2021 first-round pick (Tre Mann), 2022 first-round pick (Jalen Williams), 2023 first-round pick (Jaime Jaquez Jr.), 2023 first-round pick swap, 2024 first-round draft pick (Dillon Jones), 2025 first-round pick swap, 2026 first-round pick. Obviously that trade benefited the Thunder greatly as SGA has turned into one of the top players in the league and JDub has shown he has what it takes to be an All-Star. Moreover, those players helped OKC become the youngest one seed in NBA history last season. However, the major pick to keep an eye out for this season is the 2025 first-round pick swap. In order for the 76ers to get Paul George this year, the Clippers had to include that 2025 pick. That exact pick is currently owned by OKC and is 1-6 protected. More specifically, if that draft pick falls anywhere between one through six, the Sixers own the pick; anything seven and after would convey to the Thunder.

For Loud City, this is massive news. Not only are the Thunder heavy favorites to represent the West in the NBA Finals, but they could go into the 2025 Draft as a top team in the league with extremely high draft picks, which are usually held by bad teams. Whether OKC would want to use that pick to add to their already super young and successful roster or trade it for other assets, it is safe to say a dynasty will be in the making if that Sixers pick falls to the Thunder (and that's all without mentioning the Jazz and Clippers 2025 picks ).

A former student of George Elliot Secondary School in Lake Country, Faith Bigam, , alleging that she had been subject to discrimination by the School District No. 23 Board of Education, her school principal and a teacher. Bigam, who was in Grade 11 at the time of the incident, alleges that she was discriminated against "based on mental and physical disability." Bigam was diagnosed with , at 12 years old. According to the complaint, after years of building confidence, she voiced her desire to speak to the student body at George Elliot about her rare, degenerative condition in order to educate her peers. The complaint alleges that in 2019, a teacher, the school principal and the school district prevented Bigam from speaking at an assembly and then mishandled the aftermath of the situation. Bigam says that as a direct result of the incident, she was not able to return to George Elliot Secondary School. The presentation was scheduled for an upcoming school assembly and Bigam prepared a speech. There is contrasting evidence from Bigam, her mother and the teacher who was named in the complaint, about the incident that took place on the morning of the scheduled speech. According to tribunal documents, on the morning of the assembly, an interaction took place between Bigam, her mother and the teacher in charge of the assembly, that became heated. After a disagreement, it was decided that Bigam would not be present at the assembly. Bigam alleges that "everyone was raising their voices," and she felt embarrassed, panicked and began to cry. In a response to the complaint, the teacher alleges that she was not trying to prevent Bigam from speaking and says she did not raise her voice. She alleges that she was instead trying to work with Bigam to ensure the presentation fit with the theme of the assembly before the emotions escalated. After the incident, Bigam's parents spoke with and sent an email to the principal and the SD23, complaining about the interaction with the teacher regarding their daughter's now cancelled presentation at the assembly. The principal assured the family the matter was being taken "very seriously." Bigam stopped attending school after the incident. The school's vice-principal spoke with the BC Human Rights Tribunal and stated Bigam's mother was "adamant" that the teacher be fired and did not seem interested in an apology or “anything else”. Bigam never returned to George Elliot School, claiming she experienced stress, anxiety and emotional distress as a result of the altercation and graduated from an alternative learning program. Additionally, Bigam suffered a relapse of Multiple Sclerosis in June 2019, which her family alleges was spurred by the stress of the incident. Bigam says she missed out on important social and educational opportunities by not returning to the school. The BC Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed the complaint against both the teacher and principal but allowed the remainder of the complaint against the SD23. A date has yet to be set on the matter.NonePolitical tension escalate in Odisha as Cong, BJD, BJP trade barbs over Modi’s remarks
