Phoenix Suns played at Chase Center tonight, but Kevin Durant, who still hasn’t played in San Francisco, was out with an ankle injury. If the Suns return to Chase in the playoffs and KD plays, will the evening giveaway be a flying pig?

Ron Deathsantis claiming SVB failed because it was too “woke.” The four biggest banks in Florida, Wells Fargo Bank, Truist, Bank of America,, Chase, ALL have diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) programs.
