The Celtics haven't played since they dropped a 127-121 decision to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday at home. Boston overcame a 14-point second-half deficit to take a four-point lead in the fourth quarter but couldn't keep pace in the final minutes. "Effort was good," Boston coach Joe Mazzulla said. "You're down 14, take the lead. In the fourth quarter I felt like we didn't really have a rhythm to the game, but we were able to take the lead. I thought we kind of just ran out of gas here towards the end." It was Boston's fifth game in seven nights, and the Celtics shot 18 of 60 from 3-point territory. "These are the games you've just gotta fight through it," Jaylen Brown said. "Tough schedule, but we don't make any excuses. We know what the journey is about and we're not skipping any steps. I thought we fought as a team. We didn't let the rope go. We didn't give up." Sam Hauser, one of Boston's top reserves, left Saturday's game in the second quarter with what the team called right adductor tightness. Mazzulla downplayed the injury in his postgame comments, saying, "He's doing pretty good. He said he'd be OK, but he just wasn't able to finish (Saturday's game). But afterwards, he said he was good." However, Hauser was listed as doubtful for Thursday's game. Listed as questionable are All-Star Jayson Tatum (right patella tendiopathy), Jaden Springer (non-COVID illness) and Jordan Walsh (rib contusion). Cade Cunningham had 29 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds to help the Pistons end a three-game losing streak by beating the New York Knicks 120-111 Saturday. Cunningham, Detroit's first-round draft pick in 2021, is averaging 23.9 points, 9.4 assists and 7.3 rebounds in 21 games this season. "I try to do whatever it takes to help my team win, and my teammates have made me look great this year," Cunningham said. "I'm just trying to help my team win and we'll see what happens with it." The Pistons used an 18-4 run in the fourth quarter to pull away from the Knicks. Detroit's Malik Beasley made 7 of 10 3-pointers and finished the game with 23 points. "We're trying to build and taking steps," Detroit coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "The hardest thing to do in the NBA is find consistency, whether as an individual or as a team. But it's the habits we do every single day and, hopefully, (the victory over New York) is another game that's a big step for us. But we keep seeing the value in those habits and we keep getting better and better." Thursday's matchup will be the third time the Pistons and Celtics have met this season. Boston prevailed 124-118 at Detroit on Oct. 26, and Cunningham had 27 points, nine rebounds and 14 assists when Detroit lost at Boston 130-120 on Dec. 4. "I don't say this lightly by any means but being around (Cunningham) and spending time with him -- he's the guy," Bickerstaff said. "He has the ability to be an elite guy on a basketball team because of all of the things he's capable of doing. He can manipulate the game, he can score, he can rebound, and he makes his teammates better." --Field Level Media

Indiana tries to snap 3-game losing skid to Nebraska

ORLANDO, Fla. — Australia’s Fleet Space Technologies has raised $100 million to expand its satellite-based mineral exploration capabilities and take the technology to the moon. Teachers’ Venture Growth, part of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, led the nine-year-old company’s Series D funding round. The latest investment brings Fleet’s total venture funding to more than $165 million and values the company at $525 million, more than double its valuation from a Series C round last year. Matt Pearson, Fleet cofounder and chief exploration officer, said the proceeds will help the company miniaturize mineral prospecting ground sensors that use its satellites to send seismic data to customers. Fleet’s ambient noise tomography system, called ExoSphere, is already lighter than alternatives, according to Pearson, and can map 3D subsurface models in days compared to months with conventional techniques. “But it’s still nine kilos,” he said. “So if you’re hiking through a swamp with one in each hand and two in a backpack — it’s heavy. What we want to do is lighten it up but keep or increase the sensitivity.” To the moon Fleet is currently developing a 600-gram version of the sensor to join Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander mission to the far side of the moon in 2026. The Australian company aims to use the device, Seismic Payload for Interplanetary Discovery, Exploration, and Research (SPIDER), to record seismic waves to help characterize the moon’s subsurface. Earlier this year, the Australian Space Agency awarded Fleet a grant worth 4 million Australian dollars ($2.6 million) to develop a geophysical device that will deliver insights about the subsurface of the lunar South Pole and search for water ice deposits. “[T]he orthodox view in NASA is, if there’s any water ice in regolith, we don’t care if it’s below a meter down because we’ll never be able to access it,” Pearson said. “We believe if, if there’s anything worth finding, it’s going to be buried a bit deeper, and there will be techniques to get to it.” A rendering of how SPIDER would be tethered to Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander. Credit: Fleet Space Technologies While SPIDER would stay tethered to the lander over the 14-day mission on the far side of the moon in 2026, Pearson said the company ultimately plans to deploy a network of lunar satellites for connectivity. Fleet sees the mission — scheduled to be Firefly’s second to the moon, with its first gearing up for a January launch — as a precursor to a lunar business. The company is also developing a version of its sensor that could be deployed and repositioned while wearing an astronaut glove. Pearson said increasing mobility and accelerating data acquisition will be crucial, given the limited time astronauts would spend on the moon in the early days of building out infrastructure there. Astronauts would begin with wide spacing to map structures, then relocate the array and reduce the aperture size to capture high-resolution snapshots of areas of interest. “And whereas this used to take years — you’d go back once per season and kind of dial things in — now we can do this in a matter of days,” he said. Fleet later plans to address similar challenges for expeditions to Mars. Pearson expects initial customer demand from governments but also sees growing interest from commercial companies looking to develop a lunar economy. “If you want to know where the sweet spot is to set up base camp, Fleet wants to be the company that can tell you where to do that and work with you to make this the most efficient investment possible,” he said. Expanding on Earth On Earth, Fleet says more than 50 exploration companies have used its ExoSphere service on projects across five continents, including Rio Tinto, Barrick, Gold Fields, and Core Lithium. While compact and lightweight technology is critical for saving costs for moon missions, Pearson expects Earth-based customers will also benefit from the miniaturization efforts. “We’ve got customers that can only deploy by helicopter in Canada because it’s so densely wooded,” he said. “There’s no way to truck equipment in.” A smaller device would reduce the burden on people hiking through mountains to use the technology, he added, “and renting a helicopter to fly around the mountains for a couple of months is seriously expensive.” Fleet currently operates two satellites in low Earth orbit and plans to deploy three more in the first half of 2025 over two separate SpaceX launches. Existing investors Blackbird Ventures, Hostplus, Horizons Ventures, Artesian Venture Partners, and Alumni Ventures also participated in the Series D funding round.NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday said a rape allegation against rapper Jay-Z won't impact the league's relationship with Roc Nation, the music mogul's company that has produced some of the NFL's entertainment presentations, including the Super Bowl halftime show. "We're aware of the civil allegations and Jay-Z's really strong response to that," Goodell said after the conclusion of the league's winter meetings in Irving, Texas. "We know the litigation is happening now. From our standpoint, our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl." A woman who previously sued Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging she was raped at an awards show after-party in 2000 when she was 13 years old, amended the lawsuit Sunday to include a new allegation that Jay-Z was also at the party and participated in the sexual assault. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, said the rape allegation made against him is part of an extortion attempt. The 24-time Grammy Award winner called the allegations "idiotic" and "heinous in nature" in a statement released by Roc Nation. The NFL teamed up with Jay-Z's Roc Nation in 2019 for events and social activism. The league and the entertainment company extended their partnership a few months ago. "I think they're getting incredibly comfortable with not just with the Super Bowl but other events they've advised us on and helped us with," Goodell said. "They've been a big help in the social justice area to us on many occasions. They've been great partners." Kendrick Lamar will perform the Super Bowl halftime show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9. Roc Nation and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins will serve as co-executive producers of the halftime show. Beyoncé, who is married to Jay-Z, will perform at halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game on Christmas. The video in the player above is from a previous report.
