Kyshawn George did not spend much time in a Miami Hurricanes uniform, but he showed NBA scouts enough for them to take him in the first round of this year’s draft. The New York Knicks selected Kyshawn George with the 24th pick on Wednesday night, and they are trading him to the Washington Wizards, according to multiple reports. He is the first Miami player picked in the first round since the Spurs selected Lonnie Walker IV in 2018. George is the sixth first-round pick in UM history. George, a Switzerland native, was a three-star prospect after playing in France. He arrived at Miami for his...

MIAMI – The Miami Heat’s first personnel move of the offseason was the selection of Indiana center Kel’el Ware with the No. 15 selection at Wednesday night’s NBA draft at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Having struggled to find complementary height alongside Bam Adebayo in the power rotation, the Heat went for a shot-blocking presence and rim-running dunk threat who has shown signs of an upgraded outside touch, as well. “I feel like I’ll be able to fit well in with the Heat, playing the five position to help Bam, with him potentially going to the four and just being able to space the floor...

SUNRISE — In 1996, the Panthers introduced South Florida to the “rat trick” during their first Stanley Cup Final run. In 2023, Florida showed off a new generation of stars like Aleksander Barkov, Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe before losing to Vegas in the Final. But 2024 is when the Panthers reached the summit of the hockey world, lifting the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history. They needed to get past rival Tampa Bay, which held its three Stanley Cup titles over their little brothers’ heads for years. They needed to beat Boston and New York, whose fans frequently...

Dave Hyde: A Game 7 like no other as Panthers try to make history — and avoid some, too

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on June 24, 2024. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

It keeps building. Everything around this game that wasn’t supposed to happen. The fun, the stakes, the interest, the nervousness — certainly the nervousness, locally, as the Florida Panthers play Edmonton in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night in Sunrise. Hockey hasn’t had a championship night like this in South Florida, not ever, not in a market that gave away tickets for years and began play just three decades ago under the localized marketing campaign, “Good hockey, great air conditioning.” It wasn’t supposed to have this night, either, after the Panthers won the first three...

An area of stormy weather in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico could still become a tropical depression this weekend before reaching the coast of northeastern Mexico on Sunday night, forecasters said. The large area of showers and thunderstorms over the southwestern Gulf lacked a well-defined center by Saturday evening and its odds of developing have decreased since earlier in the week. However, heavy rain is likely to cause flooding in parts of southeastern Mexico and southern Texas regardless through the end of the weekend, the National Hurricane Center said Saturday. It is expected to...
