Andy Reid optimistic about Travis Kelce's return, uncertain on Tyreek Hill's health

The band might not be getting back together for the Kansas City Chiefs. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Friday that he has been talking to tight end Travis Kelce about returning but is unsure about wide receiver Tyreek Hill's health status.

"There is communication," Reid said about Kelce's status. "That's the main thing. I've said this before: As long as there's communication, I'm good. That means people want to move forward. I think that's where Travis is."

While Reid has talked to Kelce about returning for his 14th season, he said he has not talked to Hill about reuniting with the team.

"I don't even know if Tyreek is healthy right now to do anything," Reid said. "So I'm sure he's working hard on that part of it and trying to get that all straightened out. Listen, we talk about everything. There's nothing happening there, but we know that he's out there and working hard, trying to get himself back to where he can play, period."

Hill last played for the Chiefs in 2021 before being traded to the Miami Dolphins the following season. The 31-year-old wide receiver was released by the Dolphins on Monday after four seasons with the team. Hill is recovering from a dislocated knee and a torn ACL that ended his season in Week 4.

In January, Hill reacted on Twitter after the Chiefs hired offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Hill had career years under Bieniemy, who previously coached in Kansas City. From 2018-21, Hill averaged 85.8 catches per year, with 1,213.5 receiving yards and 10.8 touchdowns.

Reid also told reporters that quarterback Patrick Mahomes is doing a great job in the rehab process. Mahomes is recovering from a season-ending torn ACL and LCL in his left knee that he suffered in Week 15.

De'Andre Hunter to become third Kings starter to undergo season-ending surgery amid franchise-record losing streak

Injuries and losses continue to pile up for the Sacramento Kings. Kings forward De'Andre Hunter will undergo season-ending eye surgery, according to NBA insiders Chris Haynes and Marc Stein.

Hunter, 28, was acquired by the Kings earlier this month in a trade that sent Dennis SchrΓΆder and Keon Ellis to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was injured in his second game as a King against the Los Angeles Clippers on Feb. 6. This season, he averaged 13.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2 assists while shooting 41.5% from the field.

Hunter is the third Kings player to undergo season-ending surgery this week. Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis will also miss the rest of the season with their respective injuries. LaVine and Sabonis are the Kings’ highest-paid players and both rank among the team’s top three leading scorers.

Sacramento will now rely on a mix of veterans and young players in the absence of its top stars. DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook are both over 35 years old, while the return of Keegan Murray from a left ankle sprain and contributions from rookie Maxime Raynaud could provide some bright spots.

The Kings’ shutdowns come amid the league’s efforts to combat tanking. The NBA has already fined the Indiana Pacers and the Utah Jazz for what commissioner Adam Silver described as β€œovert” tanking behavior.

Now on a franchise-worst 15-game losing streak, the 12–45 Kings haven't logged a win since Jan. 16 against the Washington Wizards. They hold the worst record in the NBA and are on pace to miss the playoffs for the third consecutive year. Before their playoff appearance in the 2022–23 season, the Kings endured a 16-season playoff drought.

Australian sports presenter Danika Mason apologized Thursday after drinking alcohol before a Channel Nine’s Today show live Winter Olympics broadcast. Mason slurred her words throughout the segment and went off-topic, discussing iguanas when the segment had been focused on coffee. Studio host Karl Stefanovic attempted to cover for Mason, saying that cold weather can affect speech.

β€œI want to take full responsibility, it’s not the standard I set myself,” Mason said Thursday. β€œSo in saying that, I’m genuinely really sorry and I’m thanking everyone for those messages I’ve received as well.”

Mason added that she shouldn't have had a drink on an empty stomach and that the cold weather did not help.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, however, expressed his clear support for Mason.

β€œI’m pro Danika. Good on her,” Albanese said. β€œShe’s over in Italy … and she would have been tired. It’s the time difference. It would have been having an impact. Nothing to see here."
