Luka Doncic, Lakers embrace challenge vs. short-handed Hawks
Some of the luster will be missing Saturday night when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Atlanta Hawks in a game that will be contested without two marquee stars.
The Lakers will be without LeBron James, who didn’t make the team’s five-game road trip and has yet to play this season because of a sciatica issue. James was cleared to resume basketball activities on Thursday and will be re-evaluated over a two-week period.
The Hawks are without Trae Young, who will miss at least three more weeks with a sprained right MCL before he is re-evaluated. Atlanta is 2-2 without Young in the lineup.
Young’s absence also deflates his ongoing rivalry with Lakers star Luka Doncic. The Hawks originally selected Doncic in the first round in 2018 but traded him to Dallas minutes later on draft night for Young.
Doncic almost is averaging a triple-double with 40.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 9.2 assists in 39 minutes per game this season.
The Lakers have won five straight games, including 118-116 over San Antonio on Wednesday.
The Hawks squandered a 13-point lead on Friday and lost 109-97 to Toronto, dimming their chances to advance in the NBA Cup tournament.
Los Angeles coach J.J. Redick credited the team’s defensive effort — including Doncic, who finished the game with five personal fouls — for the win over the Spurs.
“There wasn’t matador defense,” Redick said. “He still guarded. And that was huge. The reason we won the game is because we guarded in the fourth quarter. Our fourth-quarter defense was the No. 1 reason we won the game.”
The Lakers may see the return of Austin Reaves on Saturday. Reaves, who averages 31.1 points, has missed two games with a groin injury. He was able to participate in the shootaround on Wednesday, however.
“It was the right decision, both from him and from performance, to hold him out,” Redick said. “Those injuries, or a further injury on that, is hard. I’ve had them. I’ve had surgery; we’re trying to be safe with him.”
Atlanta played without backup Luke Kennard (flu-like symptoms) on Friday and could be without Jalen Johnson on Saturday. Johnson sprained his right ankle during the fourth quarter on Friday and went to the bench for treatment with 52 seconds remaining.
The Hawks continue to feel their way along without Young, whose offensive presence as a scorer and ball distributor is missed.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 20 points on Friday but had three turnovers and only three assists. The Hawks shot only 34.4% from the floor and 23.7% on 3-pointers.
“There’s a lot of things with the new group, and everybody’s in a slightly different role,” Atlanta coach Quin Snyder said. “We’re trying to merge that together. We’ve just got to work at it.”
This will be Atlanta’s final home game before the team starts a four-game road trip and a stretch that has the Hawks playing eight of 10 games on the road.

Another week has passed and there is no resolution on whether Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin will leave for the openings at Florida or LSU.
But it’s about to get pretty interesting.
The No. 7 Rebels (8-1) host The Citadel (4-5) on Nov. 8 (noon, SEC Network+), and their next game is at home against Florida on Nov. 15.
Kiffin is still reportedly a top candidate at Florida after the Gators fired coach Billy Napier. He’s also reportedly still a top candidate at LSU after the Tigers fired coach Brian Kelly.
Kiffin has not addressed either opening publicly other than to say the reports are a credit to the players, coaches and the success of the program.
Kiffin has not been acting like a coach who might leave. Near the end of Ole Miss‘ 30-14 win over South Carolina in Week 10, Kiffin participated in the celebration of a game-sealing interception by throwing a football into the student section.
A sellout crowd of 67,491 was on hand for the South Carolina game, many well before the game kicked off at 6 p.m. It was what Kiffin had been asking for after he called out Ole Miss football fans for a lackluster showing in an uninspiring home win against Washington State on Oct. 11.
“It starts in warmups with the other team,” Kiffin said after the South Carolina game. “I thought when we came back out it was really intense. It was loaded, so great to see. I think teams feed off of that, especially defensively.”
Kiffin said he was surprised that LSU fired Kelly, but he understands the rationale for the move.
“It was very surprising,” Kiffin said Oct. 27. “I think it’s the college world we’re living in. If you think about it, players now are like NFL players in how they are paid. Now I feel like college coaches now are more like NFL coaches where the firings happen quicker.”
In a video posted on X by Brad Logan of WFCA FM Sports, Kiffin can be seen pausing behind the end zone after the win over Oklahoma on Oct. 25. He clapped and pointed to the ground before saying something to the fans in the stands.
Speculation on social media was that Kiffin said he was not leaving Ole Miss.
“I don’t know if I should repeat what I said, but it was not what is getting played that I said,” Kiffin said Oct. 26. “Sorry to tell you, that’s not what I said.
“I was kind of caught up and said something about the stadium and that we’ll be back here next year to the stadium. It was just one of those moment things. But, it wasn’t what some people think I said.”
Ole Miss will play at Oklahoma in 2026.
“I just told them, ‘Hey, this happens every year here. So this isn’t new, but a lot of you guys are new,’ ” Kiffin said Oct. 26. “So all it is is a credit to the program and the coaches and players for doing well and having the success we have . . .
“It goes Georgia, Alabama, then us. So, that’s pretty cool. Especially when you throw Texas and Oklahoma in there. So that’s all that’s a product of and it shouldn’t be a distraction.”
Kiffin’s win against Oklahoma triggered an automatic contract extension.
Because it was Ole Miss‘ seventh regular season win, Kiffin’s state contract with the Ole Miss Athletic Foundation will be automatically extended one year on Jan. 1, 2026. Kiffin’s contract now runs through Dec. 31, 2031.
The added year will be worth $9 million with $7.2 million guaranteed.
Kiffin’s $9 million salary is tied for No. 6 in the SEC.
On Oct. 19, Kiffin was asked about the Florida opening, and Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter’s recent comments about wanting to extend Kiffin’s contact.
“I don’t comment on these other jobs or these ongoing things in-season,” Kiffin said. “That’s awesome that Keith said those things and I don’t take that for granted. I’m extremely appreciative of how everyone has been here. The chancellor (Glenn Boyce), everybody. I’m flattered that that would even be discussed halfway through the season, but I don’t deal with that.”
As of Dec. 1, 2025, if Ole Miss fires Kiffin without cause, he would be set to receive $36.6 million.
It is the No. 15 most expensive buyout out of the 105 USA TODAY could review and No. 7 in the SEC.

Josh Fitzpatrick poses for a portrait with the Sports Direct FAI Cup during a Cork City media conference, at City Hall in Cork, ahead of the 2025 Sports Direct Men’s FAI Cup Final. Picture: Brendan Moran/Sportsfile
When Cork City’s season sagged and the goals dried up several months ago, there wasn’t much to cling to. Injuries robbed them of the firepower that Ruairi Keating and Seani Maguire would have brought, confidence was low, and nights at Turner’s Cross felt longer than they should.
But even in the bleak stretches, you would find Josh Fitzpatrick, head down, legs pumping, dragging City up the pitch and refusing to go missing.
In a campaign short on bright spots, Fitzpatrick has been one. Across a four-month spell in which City often looked blunt, he was the one constant spark.
His resurgence came with Ger Nash’s appointment. He wasn’t just handed an opportunity, he was trusted, and thrived.
“I’ll be honest, under Tim, I was a bit disappointed,” Josh admits. “I didn’t play as much games as I would have liked obviously. As soon as Ger’s come in he’s really put a lot of confidence in me. He’s really trusted me.
“He came in and then he had to get to know the players, and he saw something in me that he liked. I just trained as normal, trained as hard as I could. He really liked it, then he started playing me, and I haven’t looked back since.

“The team sheet came out and I was there, and I was buzzing,” Fitzpatrick remarks. “I was like, keep building on performances and don’t lose my place in the team, was more what I was thinking.
“He’s put me in most games, I took a lot of confidence from it. I think he’s brought a lot of quality to us. Obviously, bringing David Meyler, that experience. That was probably the biggest, most valuable thing that we’ve got so far from the two of them.
VALUE
“Dave Meyler’s played at a really high level. He knows what it takes to win games, big games,” Fitzpatrick says. “It’s just the experience of it all. Because we’re a young group, I think experience has been a major thing for us.” 
This is a young dressing room, short on mileage but with a few men in the camp who carry that experience. And Fitzpatrick’s cycle is proof of it – a kid in the Aviva back in 2016, watching Maguire write history with that winner against Dundalk. Now, he’ll likely line up beside him in a cup final of his own.
“I was at the cup final where Seani scored, 11 or 12, I think I would have been,” Fitzpatrick remarks. “It must be a whirlwind moment for him. I went to watch them, a good few of the lads watched that game. 
Now we get to play with him on the same occasion, It must be a mad feeling for him!
Fitzpatrick spent that time in the Aviva in 2016 with friends and family rather than in with the ultras, but can’t wait to get out there with the boots on his feet and play for himself, having listened to Seani Maguire talk about it what it’s like for so long.
“It’s unbelievable, he’s always talking about it,” Josh says. “It was one of the best occasions of his career, and we all know what he went on to do. I can’t wait for it. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be such a big occasion for everybody involved.” 
It will be a tough ask, bringing down league champions Shamrock Rovers on Sunday in Dublin, even more so given how inexperienced this Cork City team are.

But, there are figures within the camp that have experience that Fitzy can draw on, one of those being assistant manager David Meyler.
“I’m not used to playing in front of a crowd that big, a pitch that big as well,” Fitzpatrick explains. “You just have to look at it like it’s another game.
“There’s going to be nerves but you have to get over them as fast as you can. We know we can win the game. We all have to just stick together. He has been saying that to us. He knows, he’s been there, he’s done that, he knows what it takes to win those games.” 
The climb has been steep, and the opposition on Sunday will be steeper still – but Josh Fitzpatrick has been running at steep hills all season.
And it’s not fazed him.

Kurt and Shelby Hillier presented a $40,000 check to Marquette Junior Hockey, Friends of Lakeview toward the purchase of a new Zamboni. Surrounding them are some of the team captains who played in the Iron Sticks Tournament. (Courtesy photo)
MARQUETTE — Marquette Junior Hockey, Friends of Lakeview have announced a $40,000 donation from the Hillier family toward the purchase of a new Zamboni for Lakeview Arena, a league press release stated.
This gift brings the organization one step closer to ensuring safe, high-quality ice for 660 local hockey players and figure skaters. Reliable ice maintenance is essential for practice, games and tournaments that bring families and visitors together while supporting local businesses.
“The generosity of Kurt and Shelby Hillier is an example of community spirit,” said Kim Pond, president of Marquette Junior Hockey. The new Zamboni will replace aging equipment that has served the community for many years but is now nearing the end of its useful life.
Four years ago, the Hilliers initiated the Iron Sticks Tournament in honor of their son Daren, who had severe spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and passed away in 2020. Daren loved to watch hockey and was fascinated by the Zamboni. It is through this tournament that the Hillier funds have been raised.
MJH is continuing its fundraising efforts to reach the full cost of the new Zamboni and invites individuals, families, and local businesses to join in supporting the cause. Donations of any amount are appreciated.
“Every dollar helps us keep kids on the ice,” Pond stated. “We invite everyone who loves hockey, skating, or our community to be part of this effort.”

A Jackson Fulton 36-yard touchdown pass to Breck Allen, followed by Kerr’s first score from 42 yards out, made it 20-0 at halftime.
In the third, Christian Hoosier had a 90-yard scoop-and-score before Kerr rushed for a 51-yard touchdown to make it 35-0 Williamstown.
Scott got on the board with 4:22 left in the third thanks to Mason Brown’s 2-yard TD run.
Williamstown answered with 4:52 remaining in the fourth when Kerr found the end zone from 4 yards out.
SHS, which added a pair of inconsequential touchdowns in the final minute, finished the season 2-8.

Castle had 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Friday’s 121-110 victory over the Rockets.
Castle has been struggling from an efficiency standpoint over the past two games, going 8-23 from the floor and 1-9 from the perimeter, but he should bust out of his shooting funk soon enough. He also committed five turnovers in this game, and turnovers have been a season-long issue, but he’s still delivering in the counting stats. Through his first eight games of the year, Castle has provided averages of 18.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.3 triples and 2.0 steals per game.
