The Milwaukee Bucks agreed on Monday, June 22, to trade two-time NBA MVP and 10-time All-Star Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat in a blockbuster trade, moving one of the league’s elite players (when healthy), two people with direct knowledge of the matter confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly on the deal.

In return, the Bucks will receive Tyler Herro, Kelel Ware, Jaime Jaques Jr., Kasparas Yakçonis, three first-round picks, one second-round pick, and one pick swap as they look to rebuild for the future after Antetokounmpo’s championship run in the 2021 NBA Finals.

The move instantly improves the Heat’s standing in the East and prompts team president Pat Riley to once again send a star player to Miami. Antetokounmpo also gets his wish. He has been linked to Miami for some time and is represented by Alex Salatzis, the same agent as Heat captain Bam Adebayo.

The Heat revamped their offense with an emphasis on speed, pace, and fast-break offense to start the 2025-26 season hot, but opposing teams deployed more zone and full-court pressure to slow the Heat down significantly.

Alana Kaiser, 21, a student at the University of Southern California Film School, made her debut as the bombshell of Casa Amor on the June 21 episode of The Peacock Show. In this episode, the men of the villa are sent to the infamous villa to explore relationships with a whole new group of grown women. The same night, a Snapchat video of Alana allegedly singing along to a song containing racial slurs was published on platforms including X and TikTok.

Screenshots of her allegedly using slurs in messages also began circulating.

These posts prompted comments on social media speculating about her behavior towards some men when she took part in the vulgar ‘Hearts on Fire’ challenge, also known as the heart rate challenge.

After kissing and dancing with Caleb McDaniel, Bryce Dettloff, and Zach Georgiou, her effort level seems to have dropped for the rest of the male cast. She kissed KC Chandler on the neck and said, “That’s all you get,” then shook her hips a little before repeating the phrase to Corbin Mims. “It’s okay to shake a little,” she told Cynthia Rea, the last man on the couch, and wiggled her butt.

A second ransom note, released shortly after the 84-year-old suspected kidnapper was kidnapped in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, listed her as deceased, NBC News, ABC News and CBS News reported on Monday, June 22. NBC and ABC cited anonymous people “familiar” with the incident, and CBS cited “sources who reviewed the memo.”

USA TODAY has reached out to the FBI and Savannah Guthrie’s representatives for comment.

A spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Office in southern Arizona told USA TODAY that inquiries about the ransom note should be directed to the FBI. “The investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie remains active and ongoing. The Pima County Sheriff’s Office continues to work closely with the FBI as investigators follow up on leads, review information, and pursue the facts surrounding this case,” the department said in a statement.

Savannah Guthrie believed two ransom notes were real

After leaving the Today show in February, Savannah Guthrie returned to the show in April and resumed her anchor duties. Sitting with longtime colleague Hoda Kotb in March, a tearful Guthrie said he and his siblings were “in pain” over their mother’s disappearance, adding: “It’s unbearable.”

“I think there’s a lot of different notes, and I don’t think most of them are authentic,” Guthrie told Kotb in a March 26 “Today” interview segment. “However, we are inclined to believe that the two notes we received and responded to are genuine.”

Nancy Guthrie was last seen on the night of January 31st and is believed to have been kidnapped in the Catalina Foothills area just north of Tucson. In February, the FBI released an image showing an armed man fiddling with a camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door before her disappearance, but the suspect in the image has not been identified.

More than $1.2 million in rewards are being offered for information leading to her recovery.

What we know about the ransom note in the Nancy Guthrie case

On February 3, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a statement on social media that it was “aware of reports circulating regarding a possible ransom note” and that “we take all information and leads very seriously. Anything that comes in is reported directly to detectives working with the FBI.”

CBS News reported that its Tucson affiliate KOLD News received the letter on February 2nd. Without specifying which news station received the communication or confirming its authenticity, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS News that the letter “included specific details about the home and the clothing Nancy Guthrie was wearing that night.”

Nanos told CBS News that the FBI reviewed the memo and shared it with Savannah Guthrie. On February 3, TMZ reported that it had received a letter demanding payment for Nancy Guthrie’s release.

At a Feb. 5 press conference, FBI Special Agent Heiss Janke said the ransom note reviewed by investigators showed no “evidence of survival,” and there were no other demands in the letter. Janke said the ransom note included “facts related to the deadline,” including an Apple Watch, a floodlight, and “monetary value.”

The memo reportedly included two deadlines: February 5th at 5pm and February 9th at 5pm, but the family was not provided with a way to contact them. The USA TODAY Network has not confirmed or substantiated the authenticity of either memo.

What Savannah Guthrie said about the alleged ransom note

On February 4, Savannah Guthrie posted a video of her and her brother mentioning an alleged ransom note directed by the FBI. “We’ve been hearing reports in the media about the ransom letter,” said Savannah Guthrie, sitting between her sister Annie Guthrie and brother Camron Guthrie.

Savannah Guthrie and her siblings ask to take their mother home

Today anchor Savannah Guthrie, seated between her siblings, made an emotional plea on social media to bring her mother home.

She went on to appear to address the possible kidnapper directly.

“As a family, we are doing the best we can. We are ready to speak. But we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We definitely need to know that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please reach out,” Savannah Guthrie said.

The “Today” show co-host highlighted 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie’s medical needs, saying, “Her health, her heart, is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She doesn’t have medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it so she doesn’t suffer.”

Law enforcement is asking anyone with information to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or the Pima County Sheriff’s Office tips.fbi.gov. (520-351-4900) or 88-CRIME.

A day earlier, a star-studded crowd including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Stevie Wonder and John Legend had gathered to celebrate the sprawling 19-acre campus, which includes a public library branch, basketball court, restaurants, playgrounds and a ticketed museum.

Despite the fanfare, this monstrosity stands as a monument to hypocrisy and the Obama family’s undying thirst for the spotlight, a presidential legacy project that has disappointed more Americans than its architects are willing to admit.

The Obama Presidential Center is a disaster.

The project honoring a couple cost $850 million to build, making it the most expensive presidential center ever built, and it’s not even close. Although the building and exhibits were funded by private donations, Illinois taxpayers spent approximately $123.3 million on infrastructure (road realignment, utility relocation), which is expected to approach $200 million by completion.

The airport operator said the move follows a Florida law passed in March that requires the airport to update its name to President Donald J. Trump International Airport.

Final approval for the changes is expected from the Federal Aviation Administration on July 9, according to an FAQ on the airport’s website, which adds that it could take longer for signage and other information to be updated.

“While the required name changes will take effect on July 9, 2026, transition efforts will occur in stages, including updates to signage, branding, and public facing materials,” the FAQ states. “Airport operations and services will continue without interruption.”

In an unsigned opinion, the court overturned a ruling that found the jury that convicted Pedro Hernandez for the murder of Etan Patz was improperly instructed.

Etan disappeared near his home in New York City more than 40 years ago. Although his body has never been found, his disappearance helped change the way missing children are treated.

Hernandez, a former clerk in Etan’s neighborhood, was named a suspect in 2012. Hernandez confessed to the crime, but his defense team argued that the confession was false and due to mental illness. After the first murder trial ended in a hung jury, Hernandez was convicted in a second trial in 2017 and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.

The Argentina legend scored his 17th and 18th World Cup goals against Austria on Monday, June 22nd. The first goal came in the 38th minute and broke Germany’s Miroslav Klose’s men’s World Cup record of 16 goals. Messi made history by receiving a pass from the left, running into the box and shooting gracefully over the goalkeeper’s head.

He then scored again just before the whistle to give Argentina a 2-0 victory, and he didn’t give up until the ball wavered near the goal line and went past the keeper. With this goal, he surpassed Brazil’s Marta, who held the World Cup goalscoring record with 17 goals in six tournaments.

Messi entered the 2026 World Cup with a total of 13 goals, but after scoring a hat-trick in Argentina’s opening game against Algeria on June 17, that number jumped to 16.

Messi looked set to break the record when he went to the penalty kick line 12 minutes into Monday’s match against Austria, but shockingly he went wide.
