Kristaps Porzingis will miss at least one week after the big man suffered a left calf strain in Friday’s loss to the Magic, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said on Sunday.Porzingis left during the third quarter of Friday’s loss and did not return after he felt some tightness. He did not think the injury was serious, posting on Instagram on Saturday that he received good news after reportedly having an MRI. But the big man will miss several games before the Celtics re-evaluate him.“I think it’s just a matter of how he feels,” Mazzulla said. “How it kind of heals when people look at it again after a week or so.”Porzingis will likely miss at least three games – Sunday’s game against the Hawks, Tuesday’s matchup with the Bulls and Friday’s tilt with the 76ers – as he heals his injury. But it’s possible he doesn’t miss more than that thanks to a tweak in the schedule due to the In-Season Tournament. If the Celtics do not qualify for the quarterfinals of the tournament, their next game after F...Body of Avon man missing for 2 months found in well

The body of an Avon man who was missing for more than two months was found dead in a well on the property of the home he lived in on Saturday, according to officials.Avon Police and Fire Departments said Keith McKechnie, 45, left his home on East High Street on Sept. 7 and had not been seen since. Authorities were informed that McKechnie was known to walk the neighborhood, according to the Norfolk District Attorney’s office.Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey thanked the Avon and state police forces along with the local fire department and aid from other areas for their work in removing McKechnie’s body from the well and expressed his condolences to McKechnie’s family.“Our thoughts are very much with the McKechnie family tonight,” he said on Saturday evening. “This is a very sad result.”McKechnie’s family informed authorities that he had a “history of health challenges” and was potentially “resistant to being approached,” officials said.Morrissey’s office said McKechnie’s...More overflow shelter sites coming ‘soon,’ Housing Secretary says

The state will open more overflow space for those families excluded from Emergency Assistance shelter by overcrowding, according to the Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities.Ed Augustus, the former Worcester City Manager elevated to the new cabinet level position created by Gov. Maura Healey earlier this year, said that the at-capacity condition of the shelter system will require additional — temporary — overflow space while the state’s migrant crisis continues.“We know we need some overflow sites, the use of the state office buildings are really just a short term bridge until we can get some of these overflow sites online,” he said on WCVB. in an interview broadcast Sunday.For weeks now the state has been at or near the 7,500 family shelter capacity set by Gov. Maura Healey as of November 1, with more eligible families entering the system daily. Those families unable to secure shelter have been placed on a waiting list. Beginning last week, a limited number were ...Why Conor McDermott started over Trent Brown in Patriots’ loss to Giants

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Patriots left tackle Trent Brown was surprisingly active Sunday as he continues to deal with ankle and knee injuries, but he did not start the team’s loss to the Giants.Instead, Conor McDermott, who started the Patriots’ previous two games at left tackle and was signed to the 53-man roster off of the practice squad Saturday, started, and Brown rotated into the game.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Callahan: Under Bill Belichick’s watch, the Patriots have become the NFL’s worst team New England Patriots | Bill Belichick’s answers about Patriots’ QB situation only create more questions New England Patriots | Mac Jones benched for Bailey Zappe for fourth time in loss to Giants New England Patriots | Patriots rookie receiver Demario Douglas ruled out with head injury New England Patriots | Patriots starter suprisingly active in Week 12 matchu...Callahan: Under Bill Belichick’s watch, the Patriots have become the NFL’s worst team

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Bill Belichick spent all week dodging questions about the identity of his starting quarterback because that was the only game he could win.Football?Forget it.After losing Sunday’s 10-7 stinker in New York, Belichick is now the face and architect of the NFL’s worst team. The Patriots are 2-9, a byproduct of four years of roster rot and mismanagement; a collection of ill-coached misfits, the best of whom have regressed under Belichick’s watch.How else do you explain the Patriots losing to the team with the NFL’s worst point differential? Or falling to the only franchise with a bottom-six offense, defense and special teams by DVOA? Or succumbing to an undrafted rookie quarterback who couldn’t win a starting job at Syracuse, lives at home and doesn’t fold his own laundry or cook his own meals?And yet that rookie quarterback, Tommy DeVito, was unquestionably the best passer on the field Sunday.Mac Jones couldn’t even make ...Mostly quiet weather ahead after rains clear Monday

Heavy rains and gusting winds overnight Sunday should clear the region before the morning commute begins and leave dry, seasonable weather behind for the work week ahead, according to the National Weather Service.As much as two inches of rain and wind at times gusting over 40 mph is forecast overnight into Monday and should move on before 6 a.m., according to NWS Meteorologist Rob Megnia, who said the days that follow may be “blustery” at times, but no more so than they should be this time of the year.“The only active period of weather we’ll have is tonight, overnight,” Megnia told the Herald Sunday. “Mainly after midnight, and it should be wrapping up before the morning commute.”According to weather service forecasting it could be 52 degrees or more in Boston well before the sun comes up over mostly cloudy skies on Monday, but temperatures will gradually cool back into the middle 40s as the day moves toward evening.Clouds should mostly clear overnight, when the temperature wi...Irregular meals, benches as beds. As hostages return to Israel, details of captivity begin to emerge

JERUSALEM (AP) — Plastic chairs as beds. Meals of bread and rice. Hours spent waiting for the bathroom. As hostages return to Israel after seven weeks of Hamas captivity, information about the conditions of their confinement has begun to trickle out.The 58 hostages freed under a cease-fire deal over the past three days have largely stayed out of the public eye, with most still in hospitals around the country.Nearly two months after Hamas militants dragged them into Gaza during a bloody cross-border attack on Israel that also killed 1,200 people, most freed hostages appear to be in stable physical condition. Information about the conditions of their captivity has been tightly controlled, but family members of the released hostages have begun to share details about their loved ones’ experiences. Merav Raviv, whose three relatives were released by Hamas on Friday, said they had been fed irregularly and had eaten mainly rice and bread. She said her cousin and aunt, Keren and Ruth ...B.C. First Nation votes to take over child and family services for its members

DUNCAN, B.C. — British Columbia’s largest First Nation has voted to take over authority of child and family services for its members.Results of a vote held by the Cowichan Tribes show 83 per cent of the 416 citizens who cast ballots were in favour of the new law that would prioritize supports to keep children with their families or place them with relatives or in other Indigenous homes.Negotiator Robert Morales, who helped develop the new law, said the Government of Canada decided what was best for Indigenous children for more than 150 years and chose to remove them from their families and culture when placing them in the child welfare system.“(The new law) represents a significant step in the self-determination of the Cowichan people,” he said. “The ability to make determinations as to what’s in the best interests of your children is a very fundamental right, and one that the community should have a significant say in and not have outside governments m...Work to begin on winterized tent camp in Brighton Park despite resident pushback

CHICAGO — Migrants are coping with the frigid temperatures and snow that swept across Chicagoland on Sunday as the city prepares to begin work on a winterized tent camp in Brighton Park on Monday and neighbors in the area continue to push back on the plans.For several weeks, dozens of residents have shown up every day to voice their concerns and opposition to the city's proposal to house migrants at the vacant property located near West 38th Street and South California Avenue. Police warn residents on West, Northwest sides after string of armed robberies While Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has not confirmed that the construction will begin on Monday, 12th Ward Alderwoman Julia Ramirez has and said residents in the area are disappointed. "This is outrageous what they're doing here," Yuan Mo, a resident in the area, said.
