 Georgia Tech   star   Moses Wright , the ACC player of the year, will miss the Yellow Jackets' first-round game against    Loyola Chicago  in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, sources told ESPN on Wednesday night. Wright also likely will be out if Tech beats Loyola Chicago and advances to face the winner of  Illinois- Drexel, sources said. A 6-foot-9 senior big man, Wright was playing as well as anyone in the country over the last few weeks of the regular season. He had 26 points and 10 rebounds against Virginia Tech, followed by 31 points and 16 rebounds against Syracuse, then he went for 29 points, 14 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in a win over Duke. Wright has averaged 17.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 blocks per game. Coach Josh Pastner likely will have to play a smaller lineup for longer stretches on Friday against Cameron Krutwig and Loyola Chicago, as Georgia Tech rarely took Wright off the floor for more than a few minutes per game.

  The   New England Patriots   have reunited with their former linebacker   Kyle Van Noy , the veteran confirmed on social media Wednesday night. The Miami Dolphins released Van Noy last week, just one season after signing him to a four-year, $51 million contract. The team tried unsuccessfully to trade the linebacker before releasing him. Van Noy, who played both inside linebacker and edge rusher for the Dolphins, had 69 tackles and six sacks for the Dolphins in an up-and-down 2020 campaign. Van Noy received a two-year contract with a maximum value of $13.2 million from the Patriots, a source confirmed to ESPN. The Patriots have focused heavily on the front seven in free agency, having reached agreements with Dolphins defensive tackle  Davon Godchaux, New York Jets defensive lineman Henry Anderson and Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Matthew Judon, while re-signing defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. A combination of Van Noy and Judon on the edges of the defense could help address o

  After   Giannis Antetokounmpo   hit a turnaround jumper in the lane to cap a personal 7-0 run and give his   Milwaukee Bucks   what turned out to be an insurmountable lead in an eventual   109-105 victory   over the   76ers  on Wednesday night, he celebrated by sitting down on the court inside Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center and staring straight into the camera with a smile on his face. That smile remained as he walked back to the huddle and as the few fans allowed into the building showered Antetokounmpo with boos. But with a win in hand after a dominant performance -- 32 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in 43 minutes -- the smile was still on Anteokounmpo's face following the game when he was asked why he chose to celebrate that way. "Is there something wrong with having fun?" Antetokounmpo said. "I don't think there's anything wrong with having fun. I just like to have fun. In the first half, I was not having fun. I kind of, you know, talked to my

All states and cities with Major League Baseball teams are allowing fans when the season starts on April 1, with one permitting full attendance. While the sight of thousands of fans cheering in a single space might be a cause for concern given that that country is still recording tens of thousands of new COVID-19 cases a day, public health experts told ABC News that such gatherings should largely be safe. On top of that, some experts contend that stadiums are vital to local economies and cheering crowds will help boost morale for all. Dr. Dean Winslow, an infectious disease physician at Stanford Health Care, said the limited capacity, mask mandates in the stadiums, and the outdoor settings for fans in most cases are str

  The white gunman's deadly rampage in Georgia that left six Asian women dead, and occurred amid a   spate of anti-Asian attacks nationwide , has sent shockwaves of fear through the Asian American community. Local police, citing the gunman, said the deadly violence was not racially motivated. Many Asian Americans and advocates say this doesn't lessen the collective pain or fear, and the incident exposes new gaps in data collection on anti-Asian attacks and law enforcement responses to alleged hate-fueled incidents. "There has to be acknowledgement that regardless of what that person's motivations were, Asian and Pacific Islander communities are still feeling this act of hate very deeply and very personally," Carmelyn Malalis, the commissioner of the New York City Commission on Human Rights, told ABC News, "especially in light of the violence and stigma that we have continued to endure and that has continually been leveled against our communities over the past
