Frustrated Lakers coach JJ Redick keeps postgame comments brief after loss to Hawks
ATLANTA (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers’ five-game road trip got off to a rough start on Saturday night with a 122-102 loss to an injury-depleted Atlanta Hawks team. The defeat left Lakers coach JJ Redick visibly frustrated.
The Lakers’ only lead of the game was by a single point, less than two minutes into the contest. After the game, Redick kept his comments brief; he answered six questions, all in a sentence or less, and the entire press conference lasted under two minutes.
The Hawks came out strong from the outset. By halftime, Atlanta held a 68-54 lead. They extended their advantage to 90-65 in the third quarter, prompting Redick to pull star player Luka Doncic, who finished with 22 points, 11 assists, and five rebounds.
When asked if there was a moment in the third quarter where he realized the starting five wouldn’t have the impact he hoped for, Redick responded, “I realized that in the first two minutes of the game.”
Despite missing three of their usual starters—Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Nikola Durisic, and Jalen Johnson—along with All-Star Trae Young and Kristaps Porzingis, the Hawks relied on their bench. Zaccharie Risacher, Onyeka Okongwu, Keaton Wallace, Dyson Daniels, and Mouhamed Gueye started the game for Atlanta.
Gueye had a career-high 21 points, while Daniels recorded a career-best 13 assists, along with 10 points and eight rebounds. Rookie Asa Newell also made a strong impression with 17 points, five rebounds, four steals, and a block.
Redick acknowledged that Atlanta “brought the requisite level of effort and urgency and physicality,” implying that his Lakers team did not meet that standard.
The Lakers will next head to Charlotte for a Monday night matchup against the Hornets. Following that, they face the Oklahoma City Thunder, New Orleans Pelicans, and Milwaukee Bucks before returning to Los Angeles.
The Hawks, meanwhile, will take on the Los Angeles Clippers in Los Angeles on Monday night.

Winfield responsible for 5TDs and Louisiana-Lafayette holds off Texas State 42-39
LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Quarterback Lunch Winfield accounted for five touchdowns and 241 total yards as Louisiana-Lafayette secured a thrilling 42-39 victory over Texas State on Saturday night.
Winfield was a dual-threat on the field, throwing for three touchdowns and rushing for two more. Despite the impressive performance, he did face some challenges, including two interceptions during the game. He completed 192 passing yards and added significant yardage on the ground, helping his team maintain momentum.
Louisiana-Lafayette’s explosive second quarter proved to be the deciding factor in the closely contested matchup, allowing them to hold off Texas State in the final moments.

21Shares Sparks 20-Day Countdown with New Filing for Spot XRP ETF
**21Shares Files for Spot XRP ETF: What It Means, Why It Matters, and What Comes Next**
Big news hit the XRP community this week: 21Shares, the Swiss-based asset manager, filed a key amendment for its spot XRP ETF. While this might sound like routine paperwork, it could be a game-changer for how altcoins reach U.S. investors.
Let’s break down what happened, why it matters, and what could come next.
—
### Key Takeaways
– **21Shares’ new filing starts a 20-day clock. If the SEC stays silent, the ETF could become effective around November 27, 2025.**
– **XRP surged nearly 5% immediately after the filing, as traders bet on potential U.S. approval of the ETF.**
– **This legal move might fundamentally shift the race between crypto issuers, regulators, and the market for altcoin exposure.**
—
## What Section 8(a) Actually Does
When a company submits an 8(a) amendment, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gets 20 days to respond. The agency can choose to comment, delay, or simply do nothing. If it stays silent, the registration becomes effective automatically.
This is why the new filing matters: it shortens what’s often a long, open-ended review. Instead of waiting months for word, 21Shares is forcing a clear timeline. After previously filing for a spot XRP ETF earlier this year—and seeing no movement while the SEC focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum products—the company’s new move says: “We’re ready. Your move.”
—
## A Tactical Decision
Analysts say the timing of this filing is deliberate. It arrived on November 7, just days after renewed optimism about altcoin-based ETFs. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approvals have already paved the way, and major asset managers are now testing whether those precedents can extend to other tokens.
If the SEC lets the 20-day window expire, without comment or delay, 21Shares’ ETF could become the first regulated spot XRP fund available to U.S. investors—a historic shift, even as XRP’s legal status continues to be debated in court.
—
## Ripple Effects in the Market
### XRP’s Instant Reaction
Within an hour of the filing’s appearance in the SEC database, XRP spiked almost 5%, jumping from around $2.20 to $2.32. Volumes soared on Binance, Coinbase, and Bybit as speculators piled in. Derivatives desks also saw a burst of new long positions, showing that the market views this filing as more than a formality.
Some analysts called it a “signal flare” moment for XRP—a sign that institutional investors are warming up to the token, after years of skepticism.
### Investor Sentiment Turns Cautiously Optimistic
The boost isn’t just about price. For years, XRP has occupied an odd middle ground: large enough to matter, but too controversial to touch. This new ETF filing supports the idea of tokens not simply as speculative assets, but as infrastructure for payments and liquidity. If that narrative catches on, the ETF could attract traders who previously dismissed XRP as a relic of early crypto.
—
## The Broader ETF Landscape
### Where 21Shares Fits In
21Shares is no stranger to the ETF race. With a suite of European crypto ETPs and U.S. applications in partnership with ARK Invest, the firm has proved it’s willing to challenge U.S. regulatory boundaries—even at the risk of rejection.
Competitors like Franklin Templeton and Grayscale have hinted at their own XRP strategies, closely watching the outcome. If 21Shares leads the way, it could set the standard for how future altcoin ETFs are structured, from custody arrangements to redemption models.
### Potential Custodians and Market Depth
While the filing doesn’t specify a custodian, industry insiders point to Coinbase Custody or Anchorage Digital—both already approved for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.
Liquidity is not a concern. XRP routinely ranks among the top-five most-traded cryptos by daily volume, often surpassing $2 billion. However, ETF success will also rely on seamless share creation/redemption for authorized participants and strong investor trust in the fund’s transparency once trading begins.
—
## Unanswered Questions and Regulatory Uncertainty
No one can say for sure if the SEC will intervene. The agency could pause the countdown with a simple letter requesting revisions—similar to what it’s done with Bitcoin ETFs. But if it remains silent, the XRP ETF could slip through by procedural default, shaking up assumptions that only Bitcoin and Ethereum “deserve” spot treatment.
Some see this moment as a bold stress test of regulatory boundaries. Others view it as a strategic push to advance the market conversation, even if approval doesn’t happen right away.
Either way, the next few weeks will be crucial. They could define whether XRP graduates from a long-debated token into a regulated, exchange-traded asset that institutions can finally hold.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Donovan Mitchell anotó ocho puntos consecutivos en 1:05 minutos, incluyendo la canasta que puso a los Cavaliers en ventaja con 34 segundos restantes, para que Cleveland derrotara el sábado 128-122 a los Bulls de Chicago.
Los Cavs cerraron el encuentro con una racha de 12-0, remontando una desventaja que parecía difícil de superar.
Chicago había construido una ventaja de 122-116 mediante una actuación sólida, pero no pudo mantener el ritmo frente a la ofensiva final de Cleveland.

Coleman, Bowden lead the way as Lamar moves into second place in Southland beating SE Louisiana
BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) — Robert Coleman threw for a touchdown, and Major Bowden ran for a score as Lamar moved into a second-place tie in the Southland Conference with Southeastern Louisiana. The Cardinals secured a narrow 14-12 victory over the Lions on Saturday.
The Lions had a chance to rally late in the game but turned the ball over on downs during their final drive. Lamar then took possession and managed the clock to preserve their win.
