(AP Photo/David Zalubowski) DENVER (AP) — Jamal Murray was located in the back of the room and so he heard the message first-hand from new Denver Nuggets coach David Adelman. Same with Julian Strawther, who took a seat in the front row. For the players not in attendance at Adelman's introductory news conference Wednesday, a quick recap: Adelman wants everyone in even better condition and open to new ideas come training camp. Advertisement Because the Western Conference won't be getting any easier, Adelman insisted. It's up to the Nuggets to adjust behind a roster that revolves around three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. Adelman wants his players to have a big voice, too, just like they did after he took over following the firing of coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth with three games left in the regular season. "New ideas are good ideas,' Adelman said. 'I have to give them something to come back to that excites them." Adelman earned the promotion from interim to full-time head coach after a postseason run that saw the Nuggets get to a Game 7 against Oklahoma City in the second round before being knocked out of the playoffs. This with a thin bench and an injury-hampered starting five. Now, the work begins to put his own stamp on directing the Nuggets. He's gathered a wealth of knowledge through an array of NBA coaching mentors such as his father Rick Adelman, Sam Mitchell, Frank Vogel, the late Flip Saunders and, of course, Malone. Advertisement 'Very prepared,' Adelman said of his level of readiness. "When you're around those people and you see how they run their business and their process, it's kind of a cheat code." Fitness, Adelman maintained, will be a key to a fast start — and health come playoff time. 'Teams that get off to great starts usually at the end of the year have the best chance of being healthy in these big games,' explained Adelman, who's working on rounding out his coaching staff. 'But, yeah, that will be the expectation to come back in much better shape." One of the areas the Nuggets aim to address in the offseason is depth. The Nuggets ran out of steam in the Thunder series after beating the Los Angeles Clippers in seven games to advance out of the first round. Advertisement 'Can they achieve that (championship goal) as currently constructed? I think the answer, as (Jokic) said after the playoffs, and it was obviously no," Kroenke Sports & Entertainment vice chairman Josh Kroenke said. "So we need to take a hard look at how we can raise our ceiling going forward, whether that's internally or externally. 'If you look at the teams still playing ... with a little bit of help, maybe a little bit of luck, maybe it could be us. But it's not. We're very conscious of that and how we need to go about improving.' Kroenke shocked the league last month when he fired Malone, the winningest coach in franchise history, and Booth after they helped bring home the franchise's first NBA title in 2023. It was Kroenke's way to rejuvenate the team's energy heading into the postseason. Next up for Kroenke, hiring a new GM. For now, Ben Tenzer is overseeing the role on an interim basis. Advertisement The plan, Kroenke said, is to bring bring Adelman into the GM process at some point. 'The input will be relatively minimal," Kroenke said, "because what I'll be looking for is cohesion between those two." Added Adelman of the GM: "This business is about cohesion. It's all about just moving forward and winning. That's it. It's not about finding your best friend.' The Nuggets don't have a pick in the upcoming NBA draft. It may prove challenging to add depth without breaking up the core of Jokic, Murray, Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr. and Christian Braun. That's where Denver's youth factors in and improvement from the likes of Strawther, Peyton Watson, Jalen Pickett and DaRon Holmes II, a first-round selection last year who tore an Achilles tendon in NBA Summer League. Advertisement 'We're hungry to get better,' Strawther said. 'It's all fuel to the fire." As for the style of play, Adelman will add some wrinkles but defense will always be an important principle. 'We have to get back to being an execution-based team," Adelman said. "If that takes away some of our pace numbers, or whatever the analytics want to say, I think that's OK if it wins you a game in May, as opposed to playing a game in December. 'The majority of the time, if you want to win big, you've got to play slow. You've got to be efficient. You've got to be clean. So that will be things we'll talk about throughout the summer, going to training camp." ___ AP NBA:

Sick Dog Forces Delta Flight To Make Emergency Landing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A plane was forced to make an emergency landing this week after a dog got sick on board. Delta Flight 694 from Detroit to Los Angeles had to make an emergency landing in Minneapolis, one hour into its five-hour flight time, on Monday evening after a dog fell ill in the cabin. Despite a veterinarian onboard providing care to the pet, the flight crew diverted so the passenger and her dog could disembark.

David Zalubowski, File/AP Photo Why It Matters The emergency landing resulted in a two-and-a-half-hour delay for nearly 200 passengers on the flight. This delay comes amid more visible struggles for the aviation industry in the United States in 2025, including several high-profile plane crashes and mass firings of air traffic controllers by the Trump Administration. What To Know The flight to Los Angeles was diverted an hour after taking off from Detroit at 5:30 p.m. After first receiving assistance from a veterinarian who happened to be onboard the plane, the flight was met in Minneapolis, the nearest major airport on their flight path, by medical personnel who were able to assist the dog and its owner, according to KTLA reporting. A passenger from Delta Flight 694 told KTLA that the flight captain then made an announcement to the 181 passengers that the dog was going to be fine. A Delta spokesperson told Newsweek that the safety of their customers "comes before everything else at Delta." Delta Flight 694 was one of 7,691 flights delayed across the country on Memorial Day. Most were delayed due to storms, according to FlightAware. There were also 424 flights cancelled within, or travelling to or from the United States on Memorial Day. What People Are Saying A spokesperson for Delta Airlines told Newsweek: "The safety of our customers and people comes before everything else at Delta. That's why Delta flight 694 diverted to [Minneapolis] to ensure a cabin pet that became ill received proper care." What Happens Next Flight delays are common throughout the US, but are not typically caused by unwell animals. According to Newsweek reporting, several major US airlines, including Delta, have projected a fall in demand for air travel in 2025.

United Airlines Check-In Change to Take Effect June 3
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. United Airlines will implement a stricter check-in deadline, which could impact thousands of passengers starting June 3. Under the new policy, passengers on domestic flights with or without checked bags must check in at least 45 minutes before their flight's scheduled departure, instead of the current 30 minutes, meaning last-minute travelers run a higher risk of being left behind. Why It Matters The 15-minute reduction in the check-in deadline could have significant implications for passengers who arrive close to departure time, especially at large or congested airports. The Memorial Day weekend also recently spotlighted the popularity of domestic travel in the country, as the AAA projected 45.1 million people would travel at least 50 miles from home between Thursday, May 22 to Monday, May 26—an increase of 1.4 million travelers compared to last year and a Memorial Day weekend record for domestic travel. United Airlines said the change is aimed at improving efficiency and reducing operational delays associated with last-minute bag processing, thereby giving them more time to handle seating changes and any carry-on baggage issues before boarding.

United Airlines jetliners taxi down a runway for departure from Denver International Airport on May 23, 2025. David Zalubowski/AP What To Know International travelers are not affected by this latest update and must still check in at least 60 minutes before the flight's scheduled departure time. Domestic passengers who fail to check in on time may be denied entry through the airport and be forced to miss their flights. While using the mobile app to check in online can save time, travelers must still ensure they have checked in before the 45-minute deadline. United Airlines recommends arriving at the airport at least 90 minutes before your flight to account for potential delays, especially during peak travel periods. The new check-in deadline applies to all airports; however, it is also important to check if there are any special check-in deadlines at the airport you are traveling from, as some airports may have longer check-in deadlines. These include flights to or from Micronesia and the Marshall Islands, as well as flights from Honolulu International Airport in Hawaii, among others. United Airlines also shared some advice from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for travel, which recommends that passengers in the U.S. "expect longer lines and plan for extra time." The TSA advises travelers to arrive at the airport two hours early for domestic travel and three hours early for international travel. What People Are Saying United Airlines told Newsweek: "The change brings greater consistency for our customers by aligning with our current checked baggage deadline and the check-in policies followed by most other airlines. Customers can review domestic and international airport check-in time limits here and use our lobby kiosks for self-service as needed." What Happens Next Passengers are advised to plan accordingly and arrive at least 45 minutes before the bag check deadline to avoid complications.

Sales of Tesla vehicles in 32 European countries tumbled 49% to 7,261 in April from 14,228 in the same month the previous year, according to the figures released by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, or ACEA. At the same time, sales of battery-electric vehicles by all manufacturers rose about 28%. Meanwhile, sales of gasoline and diesel powered cars slumped. The figures, which cover the European Union's 27 member countries and five other nations outside the bloc, back up early data from Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark released at the start of this month that had pointed to a sales collapse.

Tesla has been reeling from protests and boycotts over Musk wading into politics, but it also faces other factors including an aging model lineup and intensifying competition from rival electric vehicle brands, particularly from China. U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war has also turned Europeans off buying American brands. In recent days, Trump threatened to impose a 50% tariff on EU goods, accusing the bloc of being 'very difficult to deal with,' before agreeing to delay the duties until July. In one sign that Tesla appears to be losing ground to cut-price Chinese brands, sales at China's SAIC zoomed up 54% in April, according to the ACEA figures. SAIC owns a slew of auto brands including U.K.-based MG, known for its low-cost EV models. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Tesla is also suffering because it had to shut down factories for several weeks this year while upgrading its best selling Model Y sport utility vehicle, pinching supply. For the first four months of the year, Tesla's European sales fell roughly 39% to 61,320 while the continent's auto market as a while showed little change during the same period, according to the data. For April, car sales in the EU edged up 1.3% from the previous year, 'showing signs of recovery despite the ongoing unpredictable global economic environment,' the group said in a press release.
