No current member of the New York Knicks was with the team in 2021, when the Knicks suffered a five-game loss to the Atlanta Hawks in an Eastern Conference first-round series. But Trae Young is still with the Hawks, which should be more than enough to ensure Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal clash between Atlanta and host New York carries with it the most intense postseason-like environment of the knockout rounds. The winner of Wednesday's game advances to Saturday's semifinals in Las Vegas against the winner of Tuesday night's Milwaukee Bucks-Orlando Magic game. The Knicks last played Monday, when they mounted a fourth-quarter comeback to edge the host Toronto Raptors 113-108. The Hawks have been off since Sunday, when they fell to the visiting Denver Nuggets 141-111. Both teams advanced to the NBA Cup quarterfinals by winning their respective groups. The Knicks went 4-0 in East Group A play while the Hawks went 3-1 in East Group C and earned the title via a 117-116 win over the Boston Celtics, who also finished 3-1. The pursuit of the in-season tournament crown hasn't noticeably motivated the Knicks, who have turned into an NBA title contender under famously all-business head coach Tom Thibodeau. New York, which has reached the Eastern Conference semifinals in each of the last two seasons after doing so just once in the preceding 22 seasons, hasn't won it all since 1973. Thibodeau channeled his inner Bill Belichick Dec. 3, when he repeatedly said he was "... just worried about Charlotte," the Knicks' next opponent, after New York clinched the Group A crown by beating the Magic 121-106. But Jalen Brunson, the on-court version of Thibodeau, acknowledged the prize money for teams that reach the knockout rounds will get everyone's attention. Players on teams that lose in the quarterfinals get a bonus of $51,497 while the eventual champions receive $514,971 apiece. "I think there's money involved," Brunson said. "So I think there's a lot of motivation regardless." As the modern version of Reggie Miller -- the Indiana Pacers superstar who reveled in being public enemy No. 1 at Madison Square Garden in the 1990s -- Young might not need any money to get motivated against the Knicks. Young was taunted by sellout crowds in New York throughout the 2021 series, but the point guard repeatedly got the last word. He made a shushing motion after hitting the game-winning floater in the final second of a 107-105 win in Game 1 and finished the five-game set averaging 29.2 points and 9.8 assists per game. Knicks fans have even taken to the road to taunt Young, who was booed at State Farm Arena Nov. 6, when he scored 23 points and had 10 assists in the Hawks' 121-116 win Nov. 6. "I hope these New York fans find their way to the exit real, real quick," Young said during a postgame on-court interview. "Boooo! Take y'all (rear ends) home." The Hawks were routed Sunday, but Young's flair for the dramatic hasn't disappeared. He became the first NBA player in at least 45 years to collect at least 30 points and 20 assists while draining at least five 3-pointers last Friday, when Young hit the game-winning 3-pointer with eight seconds left in a 134-132 overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers. "My confidence comes from the work that I've put in over the years," Young said afterward. --Field Level MediaImagion to advance cancer-diagnosis platform

On Dec. 2 Second Minister for Foreign Affairs, Maliki Osman, attended the Cairo ministerial conference to enhance the humanitarian response in Gaza, hosted by Egypt in Cairo. In his speech, Maliki, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Education, said that more is needed to be done to address the dire humanitarian conditions in Gaza. While in Cairo, Maliki also met with the Palestinian prime minister and foreign minister, Mohammed Mustafa, Egypt’s foreign minister, Badr Abdelatty, as well as other foreign dignitaries present at the conference. Humanitarian relief and ceasefire During his conference speech Maliki spoke about Singapore’s concerns about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, its call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, and preparations and hopes for the future, should a ceasefire be called. These points were elaborated on during a doorstop interview that the minister held after the conference. During the doorstop, he elaborated on the humanitarian situation, noting that winter was “fast approaching”, and that the people in Gaza would need better shelter and warm clothing, in addition to the already insufficient food and essential supplies. Maliki also noted that this was true for the remaining hostages in Gaza, who were taken hostage during the Oct. 7 2023 attacks on Israel by Hamas more than a year ago. During the doorstop, he reiterated Singapore’s call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, and also the immediate, safe, and unconditional release of all remaining hostages. S$18 million for relief efforts During his speech and the doorstop, he said that Singaporeans and the Singapore government had collectively donated more than S$18 million in cash and in-kind donations for relief efforts in Gaza. Maliki had gone to Egypt in November 2023 to hand over the first tranche of that aid, while Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan was present for the handover of the third tranche, which had been accompanied by an aircraft from the RSAF in March 2024. He paid tribute to the various regional partners that had helped Singapore’s relief efforts, such as Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Cyprus. He also encouraged Singaporeans to continue contributing to fundraising efforts by reputable organisations such as the Rahmatan Lil Alamin Foundation and the Singapore Red Cross. Maliki shared that the conference had spoken not just about raising aid for Gaza, but also the difficult logistics of delivering that aid to Gaza, but also within Gaza. Massive future needs Maliki also spoke about the future. He said that efforts towards a ceasefire were ongoing but difficult, but even should such a ceasefire be achieved, “the future needs of Gaza will be massive”. Singapore stood ready to join the international community “in supporting the Palestinian people as they seek to rebuild their lives” after the ceasefire is reached. Maliki touched on some of the efforts that had been made by Singapore through its Enhanced Technical Assistance Package (ETAP). ETAP supported the Palestinian Authority, which is the governing body that controls the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, and its capacity-building efforts. The programme would be expanded from an annual offering of three postgraduate scholarships in Singapore, to five undergraduate and five postgraduate scholarships, which Singapore hoped would contribute to the PA’s human capital development efforts, in preparation for eventual statehood. 60 years of diplomatic relations Maliki also met several local and foreign dignitaries while in Cairo, including Abdelatty. Abdelatty posted about the meeting on social media, describing Singapore and Egypt diplomatic ties as strong, and that the two friendly nations aspired to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2026. He also hoped to advance various areas of bilateral cooperation to broader horizons. Singapore is the fifth largest Asian investor in Egypt, with over US$ 700 million (S$941 million) in investments in the country. Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's commitment to enhancing these investments and increasing bilateral trade exchanges. Abdelatty welcomed the continued and enhanced cooperation in the cultural field, particularly the provision of Egyptian expertise to Singaporeans and students at the Al Azhar University, “ supporting efforts to promote the moderate approach to Islam in Singapore”. Meanwhile, the Singapore Cooperation Programme has also trained about 700 Egyptian officials. Maliki also met with the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Palestine, the foreign ministers of Bahrain, Jordan, and Lebanon, and Malaysia’s deputy foreign minister.

Declares Quarterly Dividend PaymentNormally a team that avoids committing turnovers and pressures its opponent into making them, Xavier (6-1) will try to recapture its early-season winning form when it hosts South Carolina State on Sunday in Cincinnati. Through their six wins, the Musketeers had just 58 turnovers while forcing 82 by their opponents. But against the Wolverines, they lost the turnover battle 19-10 and the game 78-53. The Musketeers committed 14 turnovers in the first half and fell behind 41-30. Xavier head coach Sean Miller credited his team for typically playing an up-tempo style while avoiding mistakes, while also acknowledging that the turnover bug really bit them against the Wolverines. "We lost to a really good team; no shame in that," Miller said. "We, on top of that, didn't play well." "And that (avoiding turnovers) is something you (usually) do well? That's going to be hard to overcome against a quality team like Michigan." Leading scorer Ryan Conwell (17.6 points per game) gave the Musketeers a boost with 19 points. Zach Freemantle, second on the team at 15.4 ppg, added 14 points and 10 rebounds. Problematically, however, they also contributed to the turnover problem with three apiece. "We didn't play well enough to win the game," Miller said. "The game got out of hand. It's not like our guys quit. Their depth just continued to wear on us." The Musketeers also get 11 points and a team-high 4.4 assists per game from Dayvion McKnight. The guard had just one turnover against Michigan, but he also made just one of his eight shot attempts. Xavier may have an opportunity get right in the turnover area against the Bulldogs (4-4), who are No. 207 in the NCAA in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.11. South Carolina State is fresh off an 82-53 road loss to Marshall on Wednesday, in a game in which turnovers weren't a huge problem. But assists and made shots were hard to come by for the Bulldogs. Leading scorer Drayton Jones (12.0 ppg) again paced his team in points with 10 vs. Marshall, but the Bulldogs as a team managed just six assists and shot terribly at the 3-point (18.8 percent) and the free-throw (47.1 percent) lines. Jones is also the team's leading rebounder with 5.1 a game, but no Bulldogs player is averaging more than two assists. It's all part of the learning process for coach Erik Martin, whose first team went 5-26 in 2022-23. The Bulldogs improved to 14-18 last season, including 9-5 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. "The only way you can grow sometimes is by failure or by struggling," Martin said this offseason. "You have to fail in order to learn how to deal with failure and move on and become the person you're supposed to be." --Field Level MediaNone

RELATED CONTENT: Analysis: Some NBA teams know it’s time to shake out of early-season slides — or else By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer MIAMI (AP) — Postgame interviews in the NBA typically start about 10 minutes after the final buzzer. Coaches usually speak first, followed by a few players. When a team wins, most people are in a great mood. When a team loses, not so much. That’s the normal routine. Things are not normal for Philadelphia right now. Philadelphia lost in Miami on Monday night, the 76ers wasting an early 19-point lead and falling 106-89. The game ended at 9:51 p.m. It took more than an hour for coach Nick Nurse to emerge for his postgame media session. The reason — a team meeting, because the 76ers had a lot to talk about after falling to 2-11 on the season. “Sorry for the delay,” Nurse said to the half-dozen or so reporters who waited out his arrival. He took questions like normal, then the locker room opened and a few players talked as well. There’s a lot of the season left. The first quarter of the 82-game marathon isn’t even over. It’s not time to start panicking. But some teams, quite frankly, know it’s time for things to get better — Philly atop that list. Since the NBA went to the current 16-team playoff format in 1984, there have been only four teams with losing records after 15 games that made it to the NBA Finals: San Antonio in 1998-99, Detroit in 2004-05, Boston in 2021-22 and Miami in 2022-23. They were all 7-8. That’s bad news for Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Miami — three teams that just haven’t hit anything close to their best stride yet. Injuries are a huge part of that; Khris Middleton hasn’t played yet for Milwaukee, Joel Embiid played Monday night for only the third time this season for the 76ers, and the Heat got Jimmy Butler back after more than a week Monday but were without Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. But the Heat are 6-7, the Bucks are 5-9 and 76ers are 2-11. And that’s not anywhere near what those clubs expected coming into the year, injuries or no. “There’s urgency there, for sure,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “If you look at in both conferences, there’s urgency throughout the conferences. And I think there’s parity. It brings out great competition. It brings out all these different emotions. You win a game, you feel like everything is great. You lose a game, you feel like the world is coming down. That’s what competition does, particularly when you’re jostling so competitively in the standings where there’s a lot of teams bunched up.” Philadelphia hasn’t scored 100 points in three of its last four games, hasn’t even reached 90 points in either of its last two games. And here’s a weird stat: the 76ers are 2-0 in overtime games this season, 0-11 in games that end after 48 minutes. “Listen, it’s obviously difficult, right? Don’t like the losing, that’s for sure,” Nurse said. “I mean, it doesn’t matter. The games are coming and we’ve got to figure some things out. We’ve got to play better. Got to get our guys on the floor. There’s a lot of things going on. But we’ve got to go out and play and somehow sustain. A lot of these games, there’s lots of very good moments for long, long stretches.” Cleveland and Boston have obviously separated themselves atop the Eastern Conference; the 15-0 Cavaliers visit the 11-3 Celtics in an NBA Cup game on Tuesday night. From there, the rest of the East — from Orlando at 9-6 to Philly in a group at 2-11 — are separated by just six games, with about a million games left to play. Nobody is out of it, certainly not a 76ers team that has Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and an NBA champion point guard in Kyle Lowry. “I mean, 2-11 is pretty bad, of course,” Philly’s Jared McCain said. “But it’s still the beginning of the season. Least minutes played as a team together, so I say it all the time: Give us grace. We’ve got to get better.” To be fair, there was nothing that seemed to be shattered in the 76ers' locker room when the team meeting finally ended. No broken whiteboards, no signs of trouble, and many players were cracking jokes. “We had a meeting? I didn’t know,” Embiid said, which was his way of letting reporters know that he wasn’t going to spill the tea on anything that got said behind closed doors. He did concede, however, that he might need to be more aggressive going forward. The 76ers are figuring out how to make all the pieces fit, but Embiid knows they can’t keep going down this path. “We’ve got that record,” Embiid said, “and something needs to be done about it.” The Associated Press contributed to this articleThree of these images are fake. Can you spot the real image? Some images generated by artificial intelligence have become so convincingly real that there is no surefire way to spot the fakes. But experts say there are still things we can try to detect fakes. "Media literacy is super awesome," said Matt Groh, assistant professor at Northwestern University. "But it needs to extend to AI literacy. Like the classic kind of things that you want to teach in media literacy, we still need to teach those same things. We just need to add the AI portion to it now." RELATED STORY | Nobel Prize in physics awarded to 2 scientists for discoveries that enabled artificial intelligence Groh's team at Northwestern released a guide on how to spot AI generated images. The full preprint paper was released in June. "So what we've done is we've articulated 5 different categories of artifacts, implausibilities," Groh said. "Ways to tell AI-generated image apart from a real photograph." The academic preprint guide offers detailed tips, tricks and examples on spotting AI-generated images. It also teaches important questions to consider when consuming media. Anatomical implausibilities The first and easiest telltale signs: anatomical implausibilities. Ask yourself: Are the fingers, eyes, and bodies off? Are there extra limbs or do they bend strangely? Are there too many teeth? Stylistic implausibilities Ask yourself: Do images seem plastic, glossy, shiny or cartoonish? Are there overly dramatic or cinematic? Functional implausibilities Ask yourself: Is text garbled? Is clothing strange? Are objects not physically correct, like how this backpack strap merges into clothing? Violation of physics Ask yourself: Are light and shadows off? Are there impossible reflections? Sociocultural implausibilities Ask yourself: Are there images that are just too unbelievable or historically inaccurate? RELATED STORY | AI voice cloning: How programs are learning to pick up on pitch and tone "What we're trying to do is give you a snapshot of what it looks like in 2024 and how we can help people move their attention as effectively as possible," Groh said. "Education is really the biggest thing. There's education on the tools," said Cole Whitecotton, senior professional research associate at the National Center for Media Forensics. Whitecotton encourages the public to educate themselves and try AI tools to know their capabilities and limits. "I think everybody should go out and use it. And look at how these things do what they do and understand a bit of it," he said. "Everyone should interact with ChatGPT. In some way. Everyone should interact with Midjourney. And look at how these things do what they do and understand a bit of it." Whitecotton suggests being inquisitive and curious when scrolling through social media. "If you interacted with every piece of content in that way, then there you would be a lot less likely to be duped and to be sort of sucked into that sort of stuff, right?" he said. "How do you interact with Facebook and with Twitter and all these things? How do you consume the media?" Whitecotton added. RELATED STORY | Biden's AI advisor speaks on AI policy, deepfakes, and the use of AI in war While AI-generated images and videos continue to evolve, Groh and his team offer a realistic approach to a changing technological landscape where tips and tricks may become outdated quickly. "I think a real, good, useful thing is we build this. We update this every year. Okay, some of these things work. Some of these things don't. And I think once we have a base, we're able to update it," Groh said. "I think one of the problems is we didn't have a base. And so one of the things we're really excited about is even sharing our framework, because I think our framework is going to help people just navigate that conversation." So were you able to guess which image is real? If you guessed the image of the girl in the bottom left corner, you are correct! "It sucks that there's this misinformation in the world.
