SAN ANTONIO – Julian Champagnie had a career-high 36 points and the San Antonio Spurs survived an injury scare to Victor Wembanyama, rallying to beat the New York Knicks 134-132 on Wednesday night in a rematch of the NBA Cup final.
Wembanyama finished with 31 points and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes before limping off the court with an apparent leg injury with under 11 minutes remaining. He returned to the bench in warmups in the final minutes.
New York’s Jalen Brunson had 29 points, including a 3-pointer at the close of regulation after stripping Keldon Johnson of possession as he celebrated with San Antonio’s bench. Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordan Clarkson added 20 points apiece for the Knicks, who had a three-game winning streak halted.
Wembanyama hobbled off the court unassisted with 10:32 remaining, heading to the locker room after injuring his left leg. He had soared to gather an offensive rebound over Towns and lost possession when he landed. Replays showed there was no contact, but Wembanyama’s left foot slid forward and his knee appeared to hyperextend.
Wembanyama returned to San Antonio’s bench with 1:22 remaining, walking calmly and without a limp. It was a good time for the 7-foot-4 center to return. Wembanyama cheered from the sidelines as the Spurs held on to beat the Knicks to snap a two-game skid.
Champagnie scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, going 4 for 5 on 3-pointers, as San Antonio erased a double-digit deficit.
New York outscored San Antonio 28-27 in the second quarter, but it would have been much worse without Wembanyama. The 7-foot-4 center had 16 points in the second period.
Wembanyama brought the sell-out crowd to its feet with a one-handed slam off an alley-oop pass from Castle that cut New York’s lead to 54-50. The Knicks responded with a 17-2 run following a timeout and Wembanyama’s exit, including 14 straight points to cap the surge.
Wembanyama returned to help pare the deficit to 73-63.
Champagnie hit back-to-back 3-pointers, capping a 16-2 run that tied the game at 86 midway through the third.
Wembanyama made his 300th career 3-pointer, becoming the fastest to do so among 7-footers and accomplishing the feat in 138 games. That beat the previous mark of 141 games by Utah’s Lauri Markkanen.
Up next
Knicks: Host Sacramento on Thursday.
Spurs: At Indiana on Friday.

“As far as American citizens, the vast majority of American citizens, especially that the U.S. Border patrol has arrested, many of those citizens assaulted federal officers, assaulted border patrol agents, in the performance of our duties,” Bovino said. “Anyone that assaults a federal officer, you’re gonna go to jail.”
The Homeland Security Department released a memo in November claiming that assaults on DHS agents had risen by 1,150 percent since 2024. They blamed the supposed rise on the rhetoric of sanctuary city politicians, alleging that political opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration agenda—such as condemning ICE and Border Patrol agents as “Nazis” and “slave patrols”—had inspired the unprecedented violence.
“Our law enforcement officers have had Molotov cocktails and rocks thrown at them, been shot at, had cars used as weapons against them, and been physically assaulted,” Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in the memo.

Hip-hop in 2025 either had one of its greatest years in recent memory or one of the worst on record; it really just depends on what angle you look at it from. Tricking from the after-effects of a rap feud that literally divided a genre and its fans down the middle, there was a stark difference between how the year went based on which side your fave fell on.
On the side of Kendrick Lamar, there was literally nothing but success from month to month. “Not Like Us,” the diss track heard across the globe, surpassed anyone’s expectations when the cards finally fell during awards season. GRAMMYs for “Record of the Year,” “Song of the Year,” “Best Music Video,” “Best Rap Song” and “Best Rap Performance” were all bestowed upon the song, and it only got better days later when K. Dot performed it on the biggest of stages as headliner of the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Top honors resonated further at the NAACP Image Awards, American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards and BET Awards.
On the side of Drake, his year was spent primarily in litigation pursuing a federal defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group for helping to promote “Not Like Us” into becoming the song of 2024 and, if we’re being honest, much of 2025. From Drizzy’s view, UMG took sides in a war of words that alluded to him being a pedophile. From UMG’s view, Drake is being a sore loser that quickly forgot he used similar tactics in his “Charged Up” beef with Meek Mill just a decade prior. Nonetheless, he did have some success on Billboard this year with the chart-topping release of his collaborative album alongside OVO labelmate PartyNextDoor titled $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. While all four singles did fairly well on the Hot 100 — “Nokia” and “Somebody Loves Me” landed at 24 and 85, respectively, on the year-end tally — lackluster reviews for the project and a sole AMA nomination for “Favorite R&B Album” didn’t reflect expectations from a duo who achieved quadruple platinum status just a decade ago with “Recognize.”
The rest of game made for a series of hits and misses, unfortunately more of the latter if we’re being honest. Despite a huge legal win to start the year off with and co-starring roles in not one but two A24 feature films (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Highest 2 Lowest), A$AP Rocky still managed to delay the release of his highly-anticipated fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb, for an entire calendar year. Still, becoming a dad for the third time alongside his billion-dollar pop star wifey Rihanna does make for a huge understanding on the delay.
You get a pass for now, pops.
Doechii has been following up her victory lap of a year that was 2024 by collecting on the fruits of her labor throughout 2025 awards season. She took home the “Best Rap Album” GRAMMY for Alligator Bites Never Heal, “Outstanding New Artist” at the NAACP Image Awards, “Social Song of the Year” at the AMAs for her viral hit “Anxiety,” a BET Award for “Best Female Hip Hop Artist” and a two-shot win at the VMAs with “Best Hip Hop” and “Best Choreography” for the visual component to “Anxiety.”
The ladies saw a good year overall, like Megan Thee Stallion winning “Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist” at the AMAs and her short-lived run as one of only two rap songs with “Lover Girl” to crack Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 during Hip-Hop History Month. Rapsody and Erykah Badu shared the GRAMMY for “Best Melodic Rap Performance” thanks to the magic they cooked up on “3:AM,” and pioneering femcee Roxanne Shante even received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Even with no album out, GloRilla managed to have a blockbuster year that included a successful run on her Glorious Tour and a surprising win in the gospel category at the BET Awards — backlash from religious folk, yes, but a win no less. While her album took forever to come, Cardi B in comparison also managed to shut any and all naysayers up (while pregnant!) when her record-breaking sophomore album, Am I The Drama?, officially dropped. Since its release three months ago, the chart-topping LP has already gone triple platinum in record time and pushed one of the singles (“Outside”) onto Billboard’s year-end Top R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
All this excitement even before her highly-anticipated Little Miss Drama Tour is set to begin!
The sisters are in fact doing it for themselves, but the kings of the game also received honorary love. Eminem took home AMAs for “Favorite Male Hip-Hop Artist” and “Favorite Hip-Hop Album” thanks to his 2024 comeback LP, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), meanwhile Snoop Dogg’s legacy was reflected with his BET Ultimate Icon Award and Busta Rhymes was bestowed with the Rock the Bells Visionary Award at the MTV VMAs.
And of course, we take a minute to remember the fallen icons in hip-hop culture who we unfortunately lost this year. We send a sincere farewell to “Walk It Out” emcee DJ Unk (January 24), Murder Inc. founder Irv Gotti (February 5), Pro Era-affiliated rapper Chelsea Reject (February 12), Outlawz member Young Noble (July 4), Mass Appeal / Ego Trip co-founder and hip-hop connoisseur Sacha Jenkins (May 23) and the many others we might’ve missed but never forgotten.
Alas, check out our official staff picks below for the best rap albums to release in 2025. We know, we know…tell us who we missed when you’re done. Happy New Year — see you all in 2026!

In the following weeks, Varnum, who once identified as a conservative, was hopeful that Maine’s Republican members of Congress would speak up about the funding cuts, but none of them did — not even Sen. Susan Collins, a long-time offshore-wind supporter. He described Collins’ silence as “rough,” especially since he had voted for Collins in the past.
“We’re a poor state. We need industry. To have a new industry that is unique to us, floating offshore wind, now targeted by the feds … It feels like a kick in the teeth,” said Varnum.
Trump yanked funding in other ways.
In September, the Department of Transportation pulled back $679 million for infrastructure projects that supported offshore wind, including one that would have cleaned up and revitalized a massive California port. Mandy Davis, a California resident and anti-wind activist, aligns herself with Trump’s false narrative that turbines harm the ocean environment. She was elated by cuts that might block turbine construction in California’s waters, but her joy was short-lived.
In November, when the Trump administration announced plans for new oil drilling off the California coast, she told me it was a “betrayal.”
New England communities, which spent over a decade preparing to build America’s first offshore wind farms, also felt betrayed. Prior to Trump’s December halt, two massive projects had been paused by the Interior Department earlier in the year. One of the projects, Revolution Wind off the coast of Rhode Island, was already 80 percent completed.
“It’s like having the rug pulled out from under you,” Jack Morris, a Massachusetts-based scalloper and Trump voter, told me earlier this year. “Nobody understands why Trump did it. I don’t know what Trump’s agenda is.”
Revolution Wind had employed 80 local fishermen, including Morris, to help with construction. The project’s pause caused Morris and others to lose some of the part-time income that has them pay their bills as fishing revenues dry up.
The stop-work orders for Revolution Wind and New York’s Empire Wind were each lifted or reversed after about a month. But some damage was permanent. According to Harrison Sholler, an energy analyst for BloombergNEF, the orders were a signal to companies that America is not a sound investment. Foreign firms had invested heavily in the sector, lost billions, and are now looking for the door.
Trump’s more sweeping wind halt last week only reinforced that assessment.
What America lost
“What exactly will America have lost? How do you even begin to answer that question?” pondered Elizabeth Wilson, a professor of environmental studies at Dartmouth College.
We could start by looking at how much new electricity capacity won’t be added to America’s increasingly strained grid.
Before Trump was elected last November, BNEFexpected39 gigawatts of offshore wind to be built in the U.S. by 2035. BNEF’s latest forecast is for just 6 gigawatts by 2035 — and even that number could come down thanks to Trump’s latest pause.
Another lens is employment. Together, the five wind farms currently underway have been slated to generate about 10,000 jobs. Now some of the highly skilled workers who have already trained for those projects face an uncertain future. And the 77,000 offshore wind jobs that the Biden administration had projected the country would see in the coming decades may never materialize.
Varnum, the laid-off engineer, said that if Maine’s nascent offshore wind industry rises from the ashes sometime in the future, he “certainly would want to help. It’s not something I’m turning my back on.”
He has since found a job working for a hydroelectric company. But Varnum said he fears for America’s energy future and how far Trump might take his broader war on carbon-free energy. The president has already boosted fossil-fuel production and nuclear power while trying to tamp down clean energy. His political revenge against offshore wind may be paving the way for more.
“The guy torpedoes us on Day One and how far is he going to go? How far will this go?” wonders Varnum.
Wilson of Dartmouth says that Trump’s assault on offshore wind is ultimately a battle over facts and truth.
Fossil fuel–backed activists and groups have for years been spreading misinformation about wind turbines harming whales. They lit the match and Trump fanned the flames. The president ranted and made false claims about offshore wind throughout 2025, in front of reporters, foreign heads of state, and the entire United Nations General Assembly
Meanwhile, his administration quietly axed over $5 million for research into the impact of offshore wind on the giant mammals, ending the best and longest-running studies on the issue, as Canary Media first reported.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum justified the Trump administration’s pause of the Empire Wind project by claiming the Biden administration approved it based on “flawed & bad science” about impacts on marine life, but the Interior Department refused to share the report that supposedly backed that up. The project’s developer and Democrats in Congress are still waiting for an unredacted version.
“There’s no proof, right? There are no receipts,” Sen. Martin Heinrich, Democrat of New Mexico, told me in June. He said the administration hid the report and then used the permitting process as a “political tool,” something he sees as typical of “a banana republic.”
Without new offshore turbines going up, millions of households across the Northeast will soon pay more money for dirtier and less reliable electricity. According to a recent report, offshore wind power could help keep the lights on year-round in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, especially during harsh winter weather when gas plants can fail. Cuts to planet-warming pollution, mandated by several East Coast states, are also now out of reach. All signs point to Trump’s second term creating a hotter and less affordable future for Americans.
Few people interviewed for this story expressed hope that the damage from Trump’s war on “windmills” could be reversed anytime soon.
“What Trump really killed was hope,” said Wilson. “And what is the value of hope?”

It’s the first Weekender of the new year. TPR’s Jack Morgan presents ideas of fun things to do to make your weekend sizzle during the first days of 2026.
Downtown City Lights
First off, the reveal of a change in San Antonio’s skyline at the countdown to midnight debuted on New Year’s Eve. Here’s Eduardo Orozco, Jr, from ISI City Smart Lights.
“We’ve been transforming the skyline of San Antonio with computer controlled RGB lighting, Orosco said. “We’re going to synchronize the Alamodome, the Convention Center, the Marriott, the Tower of the Americas and the Monarch Hotel.”
They chose iconic San Antonio buildings and have lit them with high-end lights that can be activated in different ways on special occasions.
“These are permanent installations around the city for special events, Christmas, New Year’s, Thanksgiving. We will coordinate the buildings to have a similar theme,” he said.

Josiah Media Festival
Then all weekend long—and longer— Urban 15 is showing films from the 19th Annual Josiah MediaFestival. George Cisneros details how it works. “We had over 2,300 entries from throughout the world, all by filmmakers 21 years old or younger,” Cisneros said.
But what began as a local film festival all those years ago, has exploded into something far larger.
“Since 2019 it has been totally international, and this is a great way for young people to have their film screened, and rather than just screen it for the people in San Antonio, we started streaming it and make it a worldwide event,” he said.
He notes that you can screen as many as 60 movies for the Josiah Media Festival, and all for free.
“The Dirty River Jazz Band has been around for going on 13 years now,” said musician Chris Alvarado and we play traditional New Orleans style jazz in San Antonio,” Alvarado said.
There’s also something joyful about their sound. Alvarado noted that the late, great jazz musician Jim Cullum was an inspiration.
“Jim Cullum used to call it ‘happy jazz,’” he said. “So it’s usually pretty happy music, and something you tap your toe to and dance along to.” You can find ticket information here.

Apple has teased a major update for its Fitness+ service in 2026 through a short video shared on the official Apple Fitness+ Instagram account. While the teaser hints that “something big” is in the works, Apple has not yet disclosed any details, sparking speculation about new features or a broader push for the fitness platform next year.
The teaser shared by Apple takes the form of a stylised news montage, with people reading a fictional newspaper titled Apple Fitness+ Times. Headlines flashing in the clip include phrases such as “Something big is coming,” “The countdown begins,” and “2026 plans still under wraps.” The video is paired with the caption, “Word on the street is that Apple Fitness+ has big plans for 2026… stay tuned!”
While Apple has not revealed any concrete details, the teaser arrives amid a series of recent updates to Fitness+. Earlier this month, Apple expanded the service to additional regions, including India, signalling a wider global push for the platform.
The company has also introduced AI-powered voice dubbing, allowing Fitness+ workouts to be offered in more languages without the need to re-record sessions. This move points to a greater emphasis on accessibility and global reach.
At the same time, Apple has been gradually moving Fitness+ beyond its original Apple Watch–centric approach. New features such as Custom Plans, manual workout logging, and Live Activities support now allow users to track workouts directly from their iPhone, even without an Apple Watch.
Against this backdrop, the teaser suggests a broader update tied to the start of 2026, potentially focusing on new workout formats, deeper AI-driven personalisation, or tighter integration across Apple devices. Apple Fitness+ is a subscription-based service offering guided workouts, meditation and audio experiences across iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, with pricing in India set at Rs 149 per month or Rs 999 per year, along with free trials for eligible device purchases.
As we close out 2025 and step into 2026, I want to take a moment to thank every person who has shown up, spoken up, volunteered, shared information, or simply stayed engaged with what is happening in our community.

The preliminary ruling is an affirmation of an injunction that kept Paxton from being able to force district attorneys in the counties of Dallas, Harris and Bexar to submit specific performance reports and provide specific case files to the attorney general’s office.
Appeals court sides against Paxton
The latest:
The Texas 15th Court of Appeals, a three-judge court appointed by Gov. Greg Abbott, issued their opinion Tuesday. The opinion upholds an injunction made by a Travis County district court in June, which Paxton promptly appealed.
With the decision, yet another Texas court has determined that Paxton does not have the power to issue sweeping mandates to local prosecutors.
What they’re saying:
“While this ruling is only preliminary, it shows progress in the right direction. Yet another court has ruled that Attorney General Paxton overstepped his authority by proposing to enforce these rules with the likelihood of costing taxpayers millions of dollars,” Dallas County Criminal District Attorney John Creuzot said in a statement.
Paxton has not yet released a statement on the ruling.
What’s next:
The June injunction will now stay effective until the case returns to the Travis County court.
Texas DAs sue Paxton
The backstory:
Creuzot, along with the DAs in Bexar County and Harris County, called the new rules unconstitutional and a violation of the separation of powers in their June lawsuit.
Creuzot said in a prior statement that implementing the new rules would have been a “logistical and operational nightmare” that cost the county significant time and money. Wednesday, Creuzot noted that simply fighting the rules will cost Dallas County at least $349,000 to date.
New reporting requirements
Dig deeper:
The new reporting requirements have prosecutors sending information on internal policies, how funds obtained through civil forfeiture are spent and internal communications about indictment decisions. Those decisions would include the number of times a police officer was indicted and how many times the office indicted someone for election code violations.
With the rules’ implementation, it became a requirement for district and county attorneys that represent an area with a population of more than 400,000 people to provide “performance reports” to Paxton’s office and provide certain case files.
District attorneys that do not comply with the reporting rules could find themselves charged with official misconduct and removed from office.
The other side:
Paxton said the rules help Texans determine if elected officials are failing to uphold their obligations by not prosecuting certain crimes and allowing “dangerous criminals” to be released.

As the holidays get closer, social media feeds begin to shift. Photos of an aesthetic table set-up, floor-to-ceiling decorations and perfectly coordinated family outfits take over Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Holiday content arrives each year, and with it comes a pressure that many young adults and families say is difficult to ignore.
What was once a season centered on connection has increasingly become the time of year where people compare themselves to others.
Financial impact
The rise of highly curated holiday posts has created expectations that feel out of reach for many. Influencers share perfectly decorated trees, themed parties and gift hauls that can total hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars. Even the average user posts pictures of their most photogenic moments, often after rearranging furniture or adjusting lighting.
For viewers, especially those balancing tight budgets or managing holiday stress, these images can feel less like inspiration and more like a reminder of what they cannot replicate.
Financial strain plays a significant role. According to an article byThe New York Post, some groups are under more “giving pressure” than others.
64% of Gen Z and 66% of millennials feel more of a burden to give than older generations. 25% of people said gift-hauls, gift guides and “wish-list culture” pressures them to overspend on gifts.
22% of people said they purchased a gift for someone based on social media trends and later regretted it because, while the gift was trendy, it was not meaningful.
On TikTok, trending “gift-guides” and “holiday basket ideas” often encourage people to buy luxury skincare, designer perfumes and coordinated “aesthetic” gift baskets filled with multiple pricey items. What began as a creative inspiration has turned into pressure to present gifts that look impressive online.
People naturally feel like they should match what they see online. This pressure affects young adults the most. Many are early in their careers, navigating the rising cost of living or trying to stick to their budget. But social media can make even modest gifts feel inadequate.
A present that would have been thoughtful on its own seems insufficient next to curated gift hauls wrapped in coordinated paper and bows. The desire to give meaningful gifts becomes tangled with the desire to provide “Instagram-worthy”ones.
Emotional impact
The emotional cost is just as significant. The holiday season is one of the most intense periods of the year for people, as they compare their lives to others’. The combination of festive content and personal expectations can magnify feelings of loneliness, financial insecurity and stress.
While social media often shows the polished results of near-perfect kitchens and mountains of gifts, it rarely shows the arguments and hours of preparation.
Some people started pushing back against the trend. They are choosing simpler versions of the holidays. This begins with smaller gatherings and reused decorations.
Despite the noise online, many people still want what the holidays have always been meant to provide: connection, comfort and time spent with loved ones. Those moments rarely look perfect, and they rarely resemble what appears on social media feeds.
As the season begins, families and young adults face a choice. They can chase the idealized holidays they see on social media, or they can reclaim traditions that do not require perfection, only presence.

I will admit to being afraid of scales—the kind that weigh you, not the ones on a snake. And so my first reaction to the idea I’d be getting a free body-scanning scale with a Factor prepared meal kit subscription was something akin to “Oh no!”
It’s always bad or shameful news, I figured, and maybe nothing I don’t already know. Though, as it turned out, I was wrong on both points.
Factor is, of course, the prepared meal brand from meal kit giant HelloFresh, which I’ve tested while reviewing dozens of meal kits this past year. Think delivery TV dinners, but actually fresh and never frozen. Factor meals are meant to be microwaved, but I found when I reviewed Factor last year that the meals actually tasted much better if you air-fry them (ideally using a Ninja Crispi, the best reheating device I know).
Especially, Factor excels at the low-carb and protein-rich diet that has become equally fashionable among people who want to lose weight and people who like to lift it. Hence, this scale. Factor would like you to be able to track your progress in gaining muscle mass, losing fat, or both. And then presumably keep using Factor to make your fitness or wellness goals.
While your first week of Factor comes at a discount right now, regular-price meals will be $14 to $15 a serving, plus $11 shipping per box. That’s less than most restaurant delivery, but certainly more than if you were whipping up these meals yourself.
If you subscribe between now and the end of March, the third Factor meal box will come with a free Withings Body Comp scale, which generally retails north of $200. The Withings doesn’t just weigh you. It scans your proportions of fat and bone and muscle, and indirectly measures stress levels and the elasticity of your blood vessels. It is, in fact, WIRED’s favorite smart scale, something like a fitness watch for your feet.
Anyway, to get the deal, use the code CONWITHINGS on Factor’s website, or follow the promo code link below.
Is It My Body
The scale that comes with the Factor subscription is about as fancy as it gets: a $200 Body Comp scale from high-tech fitness monitoring company Withings. The scale uses bioelectrical impedance analysis and some other proprietary methods in order to measure not just your weight but your body fat percentage, your lean muscle mass, your visceral fat, and your bone and water mass, your pulse rate, and even the stiffness of your arteries.
To get all this information, all you really need to do is stand on the scale for a few minutes. The scale will recognize you based on your weight (you’ll need to be accurate in describing yourself when you set up your profile for this to work), and then cycle through a series of measurements before giving you a cheery weather report for the day.
Withings
Body Comp Smart Scale
Your electrodermal activity—the “skin response via sweat gland stimulation in your feet”—provides a gauge of stress, or at least excitation. The Withings also purports to measure your arterial age, or stiffness, via the velocity of your blood with each heartbeat. This sounds esoteric, but it has some scientific backing.
