Direct flights are available between Denver and Grand Rapids, Michigan, on a daily basis. It’s one of the reasons Ben Tenzer and the Nuggets were attracted two years ago to the minor league basketball team that calls Grand Rapids home.Tenzer, who has spent 14 years with the Nuggets dating back to his days as an intern, had been trying to “build bridges” for some time between Colorado’s NBA team and a G League franchise. So when the Detroit Pistons dropped the Grand Rapids Drive for a new affiliate in 2020, the Nuggets saw an opening. Soon Grand Rapids had a new NBA partner. The team was renamed the Gold. Those convenient flights were a cross-country bridge.Tenzer is the Gold’s new general manager entering the 2023-24 season after having established himself as a key member of the front office that helped guide the Nuggets to their first NBA title. He spoke with The Post about his background with Denver, his passion for the G League and his thoughts on th...Walters: Shipping needs are at odds with California’s climate goals

In retrospect, Southern California’s political and civic leaders may have erred a half-century ago in deciding that the region’s economic future would depend on developing a massive logistics industry centered on the twin ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.Countless billions of public and private dollars were committed to upgrading the ports to handle ever-larger container ships, erecting dozens of warehouses and other facilities in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, and improving rail and highway corridors linking them to the ports.In macro terms, it paid off.As shipment of goods from Asia — particularly China — blossomed, the twin ports eventually claimed as much as 40% of the nation’s import traffic and logistics became, by some measures, Southern California’s largest single generator of employment. It propped up the region’s economy when another mainstay, aerospace, plummeted three decades ago after the Cold War ended.That said, the industry may have peaked. Factors such as...Brock Purdy timeline: Step-by-step view of 49ers quarterback’s comeback

SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy is having a whirlwind year, to say nothing of his 2022, when he went from the NFL Draft’s last pick to the 49ers’ unbeaten (and No. 3) quarterback.What happened next? Here are the mile markers of Purdy’s comeback bid entering Sunday’s regular-season opener at Pittsburgh:Jan. 29: The ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow is torn when struck by Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Hasson Reddick, six plays into the 49ers’ opening possession (second-and-6 from the 50-year line) of their ensuing 31-7 loss in the NFC Championship Game at hostile Lincoln Financial Field. That ended the 49ers’ 12-game win streak, the final eight of which were led by Purdy, including playoff wins at home over Seattle and Dallas.Feb. 22: Purdy’s initial date for surgery is postponed after Dr. Keith Meister’s examination reveals that Purdy’s elbow remains swollen. Over a week later, a follow-up exam takes place in Purdy’s home state of Arizona, where Dr. Meister doubles...College Football Corner: Late night for Maryland, long day for Virginia Tech

GENEVA (AP) — Voters in a southern Swiss region on Sunday rejected a plan to allow large solar parks on their sun-baked Alpine mountainsides as part of the federal government’s push to develop renewable energy sources.The referendum in the Valais canton centered on economic and environmental interests at a time of high and rising concerns about climate change. Swiss public broadcaster SRF reported that 53.94% voted against the proposal. Turnout was 35.72%.The vote was a noteworthy test of public opinion. “Not-in-my-backyard”-style opposition to the plan over a presumed blight on bucolic Swiss mountain vistas had made for some unusual political allies in the Alpine country.The rejection does not torpedo solar parks entirely if the private sector wants to develop them. But the “no” did set back the region, seen as one of the sunniest and most apt for solar parks in Switzerland, against others like central Bern Oberland or eastern Graubünden vying for generous federal funding for such ...Canada holds off US to win bronze at Basketball World Cup in OT, 127-118

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The U.S. played the bronze-medal game short-handed, and Canada sent the Americans home from the World Cup empty-handed.Dillon Brooks scored 39 points, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander added 31 points and 12 assists and Canada — after surviving a miracle from Mikal Bridges that forced overtime — medaled at a global men’s basketball tournament for the first time in 87 years by topping the U.S. 127-118 in the third-place game at the World Cup on Sunday.RJ Barrett scored 23 for Canada (6-2), which improved to 2-21 all-time against the U.S. in FIBA senior men’s competitions. The lone previous win came at a FIBA Americas event in 2005, a game that wasn’t loaded with big-name NBA players. This one was, Canada having seven on its roster and the U.S. having all 12 of its players hail from the league.But three of those U.S. players — Brandon Ingram, Paolo Banchero and Jaren Jackson Jr. — missed the game with illness. Anthony Edwards led the Americans (5-3) with 24 points, Au...La Policía de Pensilvania dice que Danelo Cavalcante sigue en el área y cambió su aspecto
