  Darvin Ham Blasts Lakers After Uninspired Loss to Nets: ‘It’s Over for Excuses’ The  Los Angeles Lakers  suffered another tough loss on Friday night, falling to the  Brooklyn Nets , 130–112 at home. The Lakers led the Nets by six at halftime but collapsed in the second half, when Brooklyn outscored them, 68–44. Los Angeles coach Darvin Ham has been facing scrutiny this season, and he expressed his frustration with yet another brutal loss after the game. “That first half is what we’re working toward … and then the inconsistency showed up and reared its head in the second half,” Ham told reporters. “We have to decide which team we’re gonna be.” Then, Ham punctuated his comments by demanding action instead of just words from his players. “It’s over for the excuses,” Ham added. “We got to play basketball.” The Nets bench outscored the Lakers bench, 59–23, including a game-high 33 points from guard Cam Thomas. “You show it on film and address it with the group,” Ham said of his team’s col

Princess of Wales in hospital for up to two weeks after undergoing abdominal surgery

Princess of Wales in hospital for up to two weeks after undergoing abdominal surgery


Catherine, Princess of Wales, will spend up to two weeks recovering in hospital after successfully undergoing abdominal surgery.

“Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery,” Kensington Palace said in a statement Wednesday.

The operation was successful and Catherine – known by many as Kate – will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days, it said.

It is unclear what the surgery was for, but a royal source told CNN that the 42-year-old’s condition was non-cancerous.

“Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter,” it added.

Once discharged, the Princess of Wales is expected to recover at home in Windsor, the royal source said.

She is likely to be advised to recuperate for two to three months, and her return to official duties will depend on medical advice closer to the time, the source said.

“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private,” the palace said, and promised to provide further updates when possible.

William, Prince of Wales, will be by his wife’s and children’s side through her recovery, the royal source said.

He will not undertake official duties while his wife is in hospital, and during the immediate period following her return home. William and Kate are not expected to travel internationally for the coming months, according to the source.

“The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible,” the palace said.

Kate, who celebrated her 42nd birthday on January 9, does not have any known medical issues. She is known for being fit and healthy.

The London Clinic, near Regent’s Park in central London, describes itself as the United Kingdom’s largest independent private hospital.

Shortly after Kate’s hospitalization was made public, Buckingham Palace revealed that King Charles will also be going to hospital next week for treatment for an enlarged prostate.

Buckingham Palace said the 75-year-old would undergo a “corrective proceedure” and described his condition as “benign.”

Real Madrid Coach Ancelotti Criticizes Team Approach In Atletico Madrid Loss And Confirms Player He’ll Drop Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti criticized his team's approach during a Copa del Rey last 16 loss to crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid on Thursday, which included 'unnecessary' play involving Vinicius Jr., and confirmed which player he'll drop at the weekend. Los Blancos' hopes of a domestic treble were ended after they succumbed 4-2 to Diego Simeone's men at the Metropolitano. While Madrid managed to beat Atleti 5-3 in extra time a week ago, to grant qualification to the Spanish Super Cup final won against another eternal enemy in FC Barcelona, it was the Rojiblanco that came out on top this time after another thrilling 120 minutes' play. Ancelotti refused to accept that "accumulated fatigue" was to blame for the loss, however, when questioned on the matter in a post-match interview. "I don't know, I don't know," Ance
