Lakers stars LeBron James, Anthony Davis set to make preseason debut

LeBron James and Anthony Davis will make their preseason debut Sunday against the Phoenix Suns at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, the two Lakers stars ready to join their team after resting Friday during a preseason-opening loss to Minnesota. “I think we want to carry over with what we did today at practice,” James said Saturday. “I think we were very intent on what we want to accomplish going forward. I think yesterday was one of those first games. It’s been a while since a lot of guys have played in a game setting. And it looked that way.” James said his son Bronny, who scored two points and blocked three shots in the opener, was bound for a real adjustment period. The two spoke about the game after, but Bronny said he preferred to keep the details private. “For him, it’s obviously an adjustment,” LeBron said. “Every rank that you climb, it’s always an adjustment to get used to it. When he went to high school from middle school, from high school to USC and now to the pros, it’s always an adjustment to

During visit to South L.A., EPA head vows to address environmental injustices in Watts

The head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has pledged to work alongside Watts residents to address a host of environmental issues in the South Los Angeles community. During a visit to the Jordan Downs public housing complex in Watts on Saturday morning, EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the agency is working with state and federal partners to address elevated lead levels in the community’s drinking water and pollution from scrap metal recycler S&W Atlas Iron & Metal Co. “For far too long, communities like Watts across the country have had to bear the brunt of environmental injustices — injustices like the unsafe operations from Atlas Metals, burdens like lead in drinking water right here at Jordan Downs,” Regan said. More than a month after a team of Southern California researchers released the results of a study finding lead-tainted water in public housing developments in Watts, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has provided the city housing authority with more than 2,000 water sampling kits, according to Anselmo Collins, DWP’s senior assistant general manager in charge of the water system.

Dodgers’ Kershaw, Guardians’ Lively, Tigers’ Mize and Yankees’ Stroman are left off ALDS rosters

AP — Pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Joe Kelly were left off the Los Angeles Dodgers’ roster for their NL Division Series against the San Diego Padres that started Saturday. Kershaw is done for the season after his big toe injury worsened, manager Dave Roberts said. Kelly also won’t be available until the World Series should the Dodgers make it that far. Edgardo Henriquez, a 22-year-old right-hander whose fastball averaged 98.7 mph when he pitched his first three big league games during the final week of the regular season, was included on the Dodgers’ NLDS roster. Right-hander Michael Grove was included but outfielder Kevin Kiermaier was omitted. A 36-year-old left-hander, Kershaw is a three-time Cy Young Award winner and 10-time All-Star. He returned July 25 from shoulder surgery but has been sidelined since Aug. 31 with a bone spur in his left big toe. “We’re closing the door,” Roberts said. “Clayton has done everything he can to keep this thing moving forward and giving himself a chance to participate in the postseason. But where he’s at right now, physically, the foot, the toe just is not

For small cities across Alabama with Haitian populations, Springfield is a cautionary tale

By Safiyah Riddle | Associated Press ENTERPRISE, Ala. — The transition from the bustling Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to a small Alabama city on the southernmost tip of the Appalachian mountain range was challenging for Sarah Jacques. But, over the course of a year, the 22-year-old got used to the quiet and settled in. Jacques got a job at a manufacturing plant that makes car seats, found a Creole-language church and came to appreciate the ease and security of life in Albertville after the political turmoil and violence that has plagued her home country. Recently, though, as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate began promoting debunked misinformation about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, causing crime and “eating pets,” Jacques said there have been new, unforeseen challenges. “When I first got here, people would wave at us, say hello to us, but now it’s not the same,” Jacques said in Creole through a translator. “When people see you, they kind of look at you like they’re very quiet with you or afraid of you.” Amid this mounting tension, a bipartisan group of local religious leaders

Tropical Storm Milton forms in Gulf, heads toward west coast of Florida Peninsula

Less than 10 days after Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida, the state is bracing for another potentially devastating blow from a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. Tropical Storm Milton formed in the western Gulf on Saturday morning just hours after it became a tropical depression, the National Hurricane Center said in a special alert. The 13th named storm, which uses the letter M, is running ahead of pace – it doesn’t usually occur until October 25. Milton is forecast to strengthen and bring life-threatening impacts to portions of the west coast of Florida next week. The storm is expected to “quickly intensify while it moves eastward to northeastward across the Gulf of Mexico and be at or near major hurricane strength when it reaches the west coast of the Florida Peninsula mid week,” the hurricane center said. As of Saturday afternoon, it is expected to make landfall in Florida as at least a Category 2 hurricane. Hurricane watches, as well as storm surge watches, will likely be issued for portions of the Florida coast on Sunday – a dangerous storm surge is expected

Harris pledges ongoing federal support as she visits North Carolina to survey Helene’s aftermath

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris pledged ongoing federal support and praised the “heroes among us” as she visited North Carolina on Saturday in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, her second trip in four days to the disaster zone. The Democratic presidential nominee arrived there one day after a stop in the state by Republican Donald Trump, who is spreading false claims about the federal response to the disaster. Harris opened her visit by attending a briefing with state and local officials, where she thanked “those who are in the room and those who are out there right now working around the clock.” She promised federal assistance would continue to flow and added praise for the “strangers who are helping each other out, giving people shelter and food and friendship and fellowship.” Despite Trump’s claims that the federal response in the state has been “lousy,” Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper said the state was “deeply grateful for the federal resources that we have. FEMA has been on the ground with us since the very beginning,” he said, referring to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

LAPD Officers Shoot at Suspect in Hollywood; No Injuries Reported

Police shot at a man armed with what turned out to be a dark metallic-colored lighter in the design of a Luger pistol, but he was not struck, authorities said Saturday. Officers responded to the 1100 block of Cole Avenue in Hollywood, one block west of Cahuenga Boulevard, at about 5:10 p.m. Thursday after reports of an armed man, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. They contacted the suspect, later identified as Darrel Morgan, who was walking on the sidewalk adjacent to the Hollywood Pool, located near the intersection of Cole and Lexington avenues, with “an article in his waistband,” police said. Officers gave Morgan verbal commands, which he ignored, and he fled the area on foot, authorities said. He was later located with the assistance of a police helicopter in the area of Vine Street and La Mirada Avenue. Officers attempted to make contact with Morgan as he crossed the east side of Vine Street. Police said he was holding an object that resembled a small handgun. “Morgan appeared to point the object at responding officers, resulting in an officer involved shooting,” according
