It’s not all doom and gloom for the 76ers, who dropped to 2-11 on Monday courtesy of a 106-89 road loss to the Heat. Rookie guard Jared McCain has been lighting it up, scoring at least 20 points in each of his last five games. With five 20-plus games in the young season, McCain already has more such outings than all other lottery picks combined from the 2024 NBA Draft. And mind you, McCain (21.3) is ninth in minutes among all rookies and only started getting consistent playing time following Tyrese Maxey’s injury. To the Duke alum’s credit, he seized…

Two people…

The judge’s ruling was also expected to speak to whether the former and now future commander-in-chief will be sentenced as scheduled Nov. 26. Trump’s team wants the case dismissed. The prosecution…
