Antetokounmpo had 20 points, 17 rebounds and four assists in Milwaukee’s 118-105 loss to Phoenix, an impressive performance considering “The Greek Freak” had only been upgraded from doubtful to questionable on Tuesday afternoon. During his postgame media availability, Antetokounmpo, who suffered a hyperextension of his left knee against the Hawks but avoided any structural damage, told reporters he didn’t feel any pain in his 35 minutes of action.

That player hasn't be on display this season, not because Sanders has taken a step back, but because it's been hard for him to stay on the court, as NBA.com's Steve Aschburner details. Sanders, the player the Bucks appeared set to be build around, is playing only 17.3 minutes per game this season under new coach Larry Drew. And the bulk of that has come in the first half, well before games are decided....

The 39-year-old Juventus goalkeeper previously stated he is “99.9 per cent” certain he will retire at the end of this season, with the caveat that he would continue to contest next year’s Club World Cup if Massimiliano Allegri’s men were to win the Champions League. That meant an expected farewell with Italy at the 2018 World Cup – plans that were scuppered by the Azzurri’s play-off heartbreak against Sweden last month....

But it may be more than just luck. After the 1999 tornado, Moore residents rebuilt their homes to include storm shelters and “safe rooms”–above-ground concrete bunkers built to withstand winds in excess of 250 miles per hour. More than 6,000 safe rooms were added to homes in the Oklahoma City area in the last four years, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which offered loans and tax breaks to offset shelter construction....

“Coach Thibodeau, (I) want to thank your trust and support this season,” Gasol wrote on his website. “I am sure that his departure was a very difficult decision for the organization of the Bulls, but I am convinced that they have a solid plan for the success of the franchise. We all have high expectations for the coming season and will do anything to bring the ring to Chicago. Go Bulls!...

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the British advertising watchdog, launched an investigation into a tweet sent by the fast-food company in May ahead of Farage’s visit to Scotland. “Dear people of Scotland. We’re selling milkshakes all weekend. Have fun. Love BK. #justsaying,” the tweet from the official Burger King account read. The tweet was sent one day after a McDonald’s branch in Scottish capital Edinburgh confirmed that it would not be selling milkshakes on the day of Farage’s rally following a series of anti-fascist protests which were taking place against British politicians and activists....

Now the public will finally get to hear a tiny sample of this archival material. A tentative list, obtained by NEWSWEEK, shows 125 tracks spread over three double CDs, the first set due out Nov. 20. There is both more and less to the collection than meets the eye. Apart from a handful of concert performances, the vast majority of “Anthology” tracks will simply be alternate versions of previously released Beatles songs, from the familiar–“Norwegian Wood,” “Hey Jude”–to the relatively esoteric–“Can You Take Me Back,” “And Your Bird Can Sing....

It’s happened before. After releasing her from six years of confinement in 1995, the generals continued to harass Suu Kyi’s party and jail its members. Will things be different this time? Not likely, though the two sides have been holding secret “confidence-building” talks since October 2000. Last week, in an unprecedented move, the junta let dozens of foreign journalists into Rangoon to cover the possible release. This is an intriguing political moment in Burma....

Goalkeeper Heaton and centre-back Keane were among the names in a 26-man squad named on Thursday by Gareth Southgate for fixtures against Germany and Lithuania. Walcott’s England omission just bizarre Dyche believes the Burnley duo are deserving of their international call-ups, with Keane awaiting a maiden cap and Heaton having made two brief England appearances as a substitute. “I think it’s a really good sign - the difference with Tom and Keano is that the culture and environment here has added to their pathway to international level,” Dyche told reporters ahead of Saturday’s Premier League trip to Sunderland....

But another element to his Auto Club 400 victory Sunday pleased him. It had to do with the way he won the race at Auto Club Speedway. Busch didn’t lead many laps. He led laps 23-26, and then didn’t lead again until lap 206, the final lap, on his way to his first win of 2014. “We could show speed early, not be so good in the middle but then come on at the end,” Busch said....

Collins seemed fed up. She says she told Rice “that the fact that Iraqi politicians still appear to be going on vacation in August, while our men and women are out there dying, doesn’t make me think we’re going to see any more progress by September,” when Gen. David Petraeus delivers his report on the war. Collins sighed. “It’s just that my patience with the administration’s strategy is exhausted.” The senator introduced a bipartisan amendment to immediately wind down combat operations and instead have troops focus on counterterrorism, border security and training Iraqi troops....

The two most important votes Congress will cast this year have gone as Bush wished and the media did not. One passed his tax cut. The other killed campaign-finance reform–the plan for government rationing of the political speech of everyone except the media. A Washington wit called the defeat of that reform in the House of Representatives a victory for Laura Bush’s campaign to promote reading. John McCain’s threat to disrupt the Senate unless it acted on his bill, and Bush’s refusal to say he would veto it, forced House members to actually read the legislation....
