NEW YORK (AP) — Cleveland Cavalier stars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving, along with multiple players on the Brooklyn Nets, wore "I Can't Breathe" shirts as they warmed up before tonight's NBA game in Brooklyn.

The statement from the players came before a game that was to be attended by Britain's Prince William and his wife, Kate, as well as NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The Northeast is due for rough weather storm as a slow-moving storm approaches, bringing heavy rains and high winds along with a half-foot or more of snow to some inland areas.

It also says that wet, heavy snow and gusty winds farther inland could take down tree limbs and cut power.
