DeMar DeRozan found himself in a tense altercation with a person at a sushi restaurant.
On Friday night (April 18), the six-time NBA All-Star was having dinner when a man approached his dinner table to record him and ask a question that he didn’t take kindly. In footage circulating online, the man can be seen approaching DeRozan and flashed the phone in his face with a bright light while saying he was getting kicked out of the restaurant.
DeRozan appeared startled and wasted no time shoving the phone out of his face and getting in the face of the man trying to get his attention. Things got out of hand as the footage showed the man sitting on a stretcher while an EMT tended to him.
Another piece of footage showed the altercation from a different point of view, where DeRozan appeared to put the man on the ground. Once the man got back to his feet, he demanded that he get his phone back, which caused DeRozan to take a jab at him. In the middle of all the fracas, a woman can be heard telling DeRozan the man is “not worth it.” The video ended with DeRozan retreating to another area of the restaurant.
According to TMZ, that wasn’t the end of the issue. Police told the outlet they responded to the altercation involving DeRozan and that an investigation is now open.

A Beacon for Master Water Polo
Naples confirms itself as the capital of master water polo, having hosted the Italian championships in the welcoming setting of the FIN Federal Center at the Scandone pool.

Naples confirms itself as the capital of master water polo, having hosted the Italian championships in the welcoming setting of the FIN Federal Center at the Scandone pool. The Neapolitan teams, the pride of Maurizio Marassi, who is not only the coach of the M60 and M65 Nuoto 2000 Napoli teams but also the true driving force of the master movement in the Neapolitan city, triumphed. The field proved him right: the M65 team, coached and captained by him, dominated the tournament, winning the Italian title after an almost perfect elimination round (three wins and a draw) and after defeating the strong opponents of Europa Sporting Roma, among whom Adrian Muntean, 70 years old and not feeling it, stood out, being named the best player of the tournament and top scorer.
This is the M65 team: Schenone, Muntean, Ionescu, Scebba, Severino, Marassi, Nardi, Rapallini, Mancusi, Cametti, Cims, De Gennaro, Marchese, and Galassi V.
No less significant is the journey of the M60 team, also forged by Marassi, which won a well-deserved bronze medal. Although it failed to defend last year’s title, it decisively beat Torino 81 (later champions in the final) and overcame the tough Europa Sporting, winner of the group, in the third-place final. M60 team: Frodà, Imperatrice R., Rossomandi, Sciaccaluga, La Torre, Crovetto, La Sala, Grillo E., Guarino, Fonzi, Esposito R., Savasi, Falanga, and Margarita.
Alongside Maurizio Marassi, the silent but decisive work of Renato Galassi, coach of the M55 team and tireless organizer of the entire master group throughout the year, is no less important. Galassi is the logistical and relational pillar of the movement: he schedules training, manages communications, handles registrations and memberships, and oversees the integration of new athletes. Under his guidance, the M55 team won a prestigious bronze, improving on last year’s fourth place and demonstrating cohesion, sportsmanship, and ambition. M55 team: Leone, Licastro, Scivicco, Silvestri, Giovannini, Esposito P.M., Carbone, Bottiglieri, Avegno, D’Alò, Rosiello, De Vito, Galassi, and Princigalli.
Marassi and Galassi form a winning, complementary, and synergistic tandem: one is the technical-tactical architect, the other the organizational and motivational director. Their work has transformed Naples into a reference model for Italian master water polo, capable of combining victories, passion, and sportsmanship.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu Took The Dead Hang Challenge, Here’s Why Everyone From Athletes To Desk Workers Should Also Dead Hang Daily
When actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu posts a workout, people watch. When she attempts a 90-second dead hang challenge, people take notes.

When actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu posts a workout, people watch. When she attempts a 90-second dead hang challenge, people take notes. No gimmicks… just raw upper-body strength, mental discipline, and the humble power of gravity. This is about longevity, joint health, and the primal satisfaction of holding on when everything tells you to let go.
The dead hang isn’t a flashy CrossFit move or a circus trick. It’s old-school, minimalist, brutally honest. You either hang, or you fall. And in those 90 seconds (or more), you learn a lot about your body and your mind.
What Exactly Is A Dead Hang?
At its core, a dead hang is just that: you, suspended from a bar, hanging motionless. Palms over the bar (overhand grip), arms extended, shoulders relaxed but alert. Feet off the floor. Core engaged. Gravity doing its job.
And yet, it’s far more than it appears. Dead hangs target your forearms, shoulders, lats, upper back, wrists, and core. They decompress your spine, improve grip strength, stretch tight fascia, and build a kind of calm, functional strength that machines and reps often miss.

How To Do Them Right
You’ll Need:
- A pull-up bar, monkey bars, or gymnastics rings.
- A bench or box to step up onto. Do not jump.
- Optional: wrist straps or chalk if grip is a limiting factor.
Instructions:
- Step up to the bar. Grip it overhand, shoulder-width apart.
- Lift your feet. Let your body fully extend. Arms straight.
- Stay still. Breathe deep. Don’t clench. Don’t cheat.
- Hold for 10–30 seconds to start. Your goal is 60-90 seconds over time.
- Step down safely. Shake it out. Repeat up to 3 sets.
Tip: Focus on nasal breathing during your hang. It slows your heart rate and builds mental endurance.
Modifications
- Beginner: Start with feet gently touching a box to reduce load.
- Intermediate: Add shoulder shrugs at the bottom of your hang to engage traps.
- Advanced: Try hanging with one arm. Or add weight with a dip belt.
Variations of Dead Hangs
Dead hangs can be altered to suit various fitness levels and goals:
- Overhand Grip Dead Hang: Involves gripping the bar with the palms facing away, focusing on forearm and grip strength.
- Neutral Grip Dead Hang: By using rings or a specially designed bar, the palms face each other, typically easier on the wrists and shoulders.
- With Movement: Adding slight movements, such as shoulder shrugs or leg raises, can increase the difficulty and strengthen additional muscle groups.
What Happens To Your Body When You Hang Daily?
This is where things get interesting. Daily dead hangs (or even 3–4x per week) can produce surprisingly far-reaching benefits:
1. Your Posture Improves
That forward hunch from your laptop? Dead hangs realign your spine and retrain your scapula. You start standing taller and moving better.
2. Your Grip Becomes Bionic
Whether you’re opening jars, deadlifting, or rock climbing, grip strength is your gateway drug to total-body strength.
3. Your Back and Shoulders Stretch Out
Feel like your spine is compressed into an accordion? Dead hangs create a natural decompression, which can relieve back stiffness and shoulder pain.
4. Your Core Fires Up
Yes, your abs work during a hang… especially if you maintain good pelvic alignment. It’s like planking, but vertical.
5. Your Nervous System Calms Down
The hang position triggers parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) activation, especially when paired with controlled breathing. That means Less stress. Better sleep. Sharper focus.
Why Dead Hangs Are a Smart Move for Ageing Athletes
If you’re over 40, or coming back from an injury, the dead hang is your friend. It allows you to load the joints passively, build tendon strength, and train core stability without impact. Even more compelling? Research shows that grip strength in your 40s and 50s correlates with mobility, cognition, and independence in old age. So yes, hanging around literally adds years to your life.
How long should you be able to dead hang?
Age Group | Target Time |
---|---|
21–35 | 45-120 seconds |
36–45 | 30-90 seconds |
46–60 | 15-60 seconds |
60+ | 10-30 seconds |
By experience:
Level | Hang Duration |
---|---|
Beginner | 10-30 sec, 1-2 sets |
Intermediate | 30-45 sec, 2-3 sets |
Advanced | 60+ sec, 2-4 sets |
So go ahead. Grab the bar, hang tight, transform.

Minor league baseball roundup: Hightower heating up
Published 11:41 pm Wednesday, July 30, 2025
From staff reports
Minor league update …
San Diego Padres prospect Cobb Hightower (East Rowan), a third-round pick last summer, has been on a roll in the last week.
Hightower went 11-for-20 in a four-game stretch, with a trio of three-hit games, to boost his batting average from .210 to .240.
Hightower has scored 29 runs in 39 games and has driven in 21.
His OBP is a solid .368 and his contact rate is fine — 28 walks and 31 strikeouts.
He’s been more aggressive at the plate lately, getting more hits and taking fewer walks. His base-running also has picked up, as he’s 7-for-7 on steals.
•••
Business as usual for Springfield relief pitcher Austin Love, although Love (West Rowan, UNC) did take his first loss of the season recently.
Love is 5-1 with two saves. He has a 2.25 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 36 innings.
Love was a third-round pick by St. Louis out of UNC in 2021.
•••
Vance Honeycutt, a 2024 first-round pick by Baltimore, has been sidelined by a left ankle injury.
That may not be a terrible thing, as it gives Honeycutt (Salisbury, UNC) a break and a chance to reset.
Arguably the best player in UNC history, he’s batting .172 with three homers for the Aberdeen IronBirds.
•••
Owen White (Carson), a second-round pick by Texas out of high school in 2018, is 0-7 for the Charlotte Knights with a 5.25 ERA and 50 strikeouts.
White pitched most recently on July 22 and did well, allowing one earned run in five innings and striking out three.
•••
Carson Whisenhunt (Davie, ECU), a second-round pick by San Francisco in 2022, made his MLB debut against Pittsburgh on Monday. The lefty allowed four runs in five innings. His last three innings were strong, and he may get another start this weekend.
•••
Pitcher CJ Gray (A.L. Brown) signed with the L.A. Angels. Outfielder Kane Kepley (South Rowan, Liberty, UNC) signed with the Chicago Cubs. Infielder Coy James (Davie) signed with Washington. Pitcher Jake Barbee (Robinson) signed with Texas. Their pro debuts are expected this summer.
•••
Dylan Driver (Carson, Catawba) had two hits on July 25 and is batting .233 with 16 runs and seven steals for the Ottawa Titans of the Frontier League.
