FAMILIAR FOE A Knicks-Pacers NBA playoff matchup is the latest chapter in a rivalry that blossomed throughout the 1990s MIKE LUPICA, Pages 56-57 BY PETER SBLENDORIO NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Yankees ace Gerrit Cole took a significant step in his rehab Saturday, throwing off of a mound for the first time since being shut down during spring training with elbow inflammation. Cole threw 15 pitches, all fastballs, in the Yankee Stadium bullpen and sat at around 89 mph, he said. He threw 13 of the pitches for strikes. “It was exciting,” Cole said afterward. “This is a good day for me. I was fired up.” Cole, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner, took the field just before 10:30 a.m. and played catch on flat ground for about 10 minutes before moving into the bullpen. Saturday’s development came just under a month after the 33-year-old right-hander resumed playing catch. “It’s a progression [to throw] off a mound, but I’ve got to see how the next 48 hours go before I decide when I’m gonna get off the mound again,” Cole said. Cole acknowledged there’s still work to be done, estimating that on a scale of one to 10 in terms of game-readiness, he’s somewhere between a one and a five. Currently on the 60-day injured list, Cole is eligible to be activated as soon as May 27, but the Yankees have not put a timeline on his return. “We certainly know what Gerrit brings to the table, hopefully at some point this summer,” manager Aaron Boone said Saturday. “Right now, it’s about Gerrit doing what he needs to do to get right and get back and get healthy.” Cole made one start in spring training, throwing 39 pitches on March 1, and also threw 47 pitches in a March 7 simulated game. He reported having trouble bouncing back between outings, prompting a battery of tests and a visit with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. The six-time All-Star was ultimately diagnosed in mid-March with inflammation and edema in his right elbow. He began playing catch again on April 8. Cole joked Saturday that he coordinated with the Yankees’ public relations staff to make his return to the bullpen mound on the same day the team handed out his bobblehead at Yankee Stadium. The giveaway toy for “Star Wars” day depicted Cole in a Jedi robe. “I was fired up this morning when I came in,” Cole said. “I’ve just been missing it.” Cole is in the fifth season of a nine-year, $324 million contract that made him the highest-paid pitcher in MLB history when he signed it. Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s 12-year, $325 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers has since surpassed Cole’s in terms of total value. Cole went 15-4 with a 2.63 ERA, a 0.98 WHIP and 222 strikeouts in 209 innings last season, clinching the first Cy Young Award of his career. Despite his absence atop the rotation, the Yankees entered Saturday’s game against the Detroit Tigers with a 21-13 record. The team’s cumulative ERA of 3.01 ranked second in the majors. Each member of the Yankees’ rotation — Carlos Rodón, Marcus Stroman, Nestor Cortes, Clark Schmidt and Luis Gil — began Saturday with an ERA of 3.86 or better. Asked if he felt nervous before Saturday’s mound session, Cole replied, “No.” “I was ready to go,” he said. BERTI’S BACK The Yankees’ infield received a speedy boost Saturday, as the club activated utility man Jon Berti to the major-league roster. Acquired in a March 27 trade with Miami, Berti played six games with the Yankees before going on the injured list on April 11 with a left groin strain. Berti, 34, led the majors with 41 stolen bases in 2022 and hit .294 in 388 at-bats last season. He was not in the starting lineup Saturday. To make room on the roster, the Yankees designated outfielder Taylor Trammell for assignment. Taylor, 26, appeared in five games with the Yankees, recording one hit in as many atbats and scoring two runs. Cole throws from mound as elbow rehab progresses BY PETER SBLENDORIO NEW YORK DAILY NEWS On “Star Wars” day at Yankee Stadium, Clarke Schmidt was a force. The Yankees’ offense awakened. And even as Aaron Judge was ejected for the first time in his career, the Yankees came closer to resembling a fully operational Death Star in a 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers. Giancarlo Stanton, Judge and Anthony Rizzo — all heroes in Friday’s come-from-behind victory — each delivered RBI hits in Saturday’s win, which marked the first time in six games the Yankees scored more than two runs. Judge’s 2-for-4 day accounted for his first multi-hit performance in six games, but his afternoon ended in the seventh inning when home-plate umpire Ryan Blakney tossed him for taking issue with a called third strike. The slugger voiced his displeasure as he walked toward the dugout after being rung up on a borderline 3-2 pitch from reliever Tyler Horton. Judge’s back was turned when Blakney ejected him. “Very surprised,” Judge said afterward. “Especially [in] a 5-3 game, late in the game and battling, 3-2 count and kind of walking away, saying my piece. I’ve said a lot worse and made a scene. I usually try not to make a scene in situations like that, so a little surprised, walking away, that happened.” The unprecedented ejection cast a shadow over a day otherwise highlighted by a three-run home run from Rizzo, which YANKEES 5 TIGERS 3 THE FORCE HE FORCE WAS WITH AS WITH THEM Yanks’ offense awakens in win over anks’ offense awakens in win over Tigers, but Judge gets ejected gers, but Judge gets ejected 52 Sunday, May 5, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

HAPPY TO BE GREEN After a broken leg ended his college career earlier than he wanted, rookie QB Jordan Travis is grateful for chance with Jets Page 64 Derek Jeter was never ejected during his MLB career. That was Aaron Judge’s first career ejection.He is the first Yankees captain ejected since Don Mattingly on May 13, 1994. @SethDRothman capped a four-run third inning against Tigers starter Casey Mize. Schmidt, meanwhile, matched his season high with seven strikeouts over five innings, limiting upstart Detroit to three runs on four hits. Armed with a sharp cutter and put-away knucklecurve, Schmidt recorded three swinging strikeouts during a dominant 1-2-3 third inning and improved to 3-1 with a 3.50 ERA this season. “My other stuff was really, really good, and the sinker wasn’t good,” Schmidt said. “We did a good job adjusting the game plan. Stuff like that happens. Sometimes you’re gonna show up and you don’t have a certain pitch or you might not feel great, and you have to make adjustments.” The Yankees leaned into the unofficial holiday of May 4 — or “May the Fourth be with you” — with a “Star Wars”-themed afternoon. They featured characters including Darth Vader, Chewbacca and R2-D2 during a pregame parade. They referred to Juan Soto as “Juan Solo” on the jumbotron. And they handed out bobbleheads depicting Gerrit Cole as a Jedi. Coincidentally, Cole threw off of a mound Saturday for the first time since being shut down during spring training with inflammation and edema in his right elbow. For the second start in a row, Schmidt surrendered a home run to the first batter he faced, this time serving up a 360-foot shot to Detroit’s Riley Greene. But the Yankees struck back. Stanton’s RBI single in the bottom of the first marked the Yankees’ third consecutive twoout hit and knotted the game, 1-1. Judge broke that tie with an RBI double two innings later, then scored on Rizzo’s 411-foot blast, which caromed off the second deck in the right-field stands. “A lot of good things happening there in an inning where we were able to finally put together a crooked number, which was nice and gave us a little breathing room,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “Good at-bats, and we were able to ride the success of a strong inning.” Saturday’s scoring served as a continuation of Friday night’s ninth inning, during which the Yankees erased a 1-0 deficit with four consecutive hits against tough Tigers closer Jason Foley to win, 2-1. Judge kicked off the comeback with a leadoff single, while Stanton muscled a game-tying double and Rizzo capped the rally with a walk-off single. The Yankees (22-13) have now won two in a row at home following a rough four-game series in Baltimore, where they suffered three losses and totaled only six runs. They seek to finish off a threegame sweep Sunday afternoon, but it won’t come easily.

ST. PETERSBURG — Adrian Houser isn’t naive to his struggles. The right-hander knows that he hasn’t been pitching well enough to give the Mets a chance to win every five days and he understands why he’s being moved to the bullpen next week. For Houser, the move isn’t necessarily a demotion as much as it’s a path forward. Houser can take this time to work on his mechanics, control and arm slot while contributing on the mound, albeit in a different way. “I’m disappointed in myself,” Houser said Saturday at Tropicana Field. “I have no one to blame but myself for not getting the job done. But there is still a job to be done, so I need to prepare every day and be ready to go.” Houser is 0-3 with an 8.16 ERA over his first six starts to the season, a stretch he described as the “toughest” of his career. A lack of command has led to 20 walks in 28 ⅔ innings (6.3 per nine innings), and even more worrisome is that hitters have been putting the ball in the air. For a guy with a career 51.9% ground-ball rate, it gave cause for concern. The Mets haven’t necessarily identified one singular issue with him, but command of his sinker is key. It’s the pitch he uses the most and the pitch that gets the most ground balls. He reported positive results from a bullpen he threw Saturday at the Trop. The first day the Mets will be able to use Houser in relief is Monday, when they begin a series with the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. “It was really good and it felt a lot better,” Houser said. “Like I said after my last outing, it was a step forward. Today was definitely another step forward. We’re getting where we need to be.” Houser is working with pitching coach Jeremy Hefner using video, analytics and other methods to refine his mechanics and get him throwing from a consistent arm slot with a consistent motion. Having pitched out of the bullpen in the past for the Milwaukee Brewers, he’s comfortable doing it again, even with traffic on bases and in high-leverage innings. “We’re doing a little bit of everything,” he said. “Staying with the routine and then looking at video, seeing where we’re off, seeing what we need to do and what we need to fix. And we’ll get back to some of the stuff. I got a connection ball that I work with. Just trying to get back to how I was feeling last year.” Last year, Houser posted a 4.12 ERA in 21 starts. He was about league average, but he could eat some innings. He doesn’t have a wide array of pitches that he throws and he can’t throw much out of the zone because his stuff isn’t fooling hitters right now. They’ve done their homework and they know they can lay off him. The Mets want to see him attacking hitters again and pounding the zone. Houser is also healthy, so there isn’t any concern there, but that could make it more frustrating as well: He’s healthy and his stuff in the zone is getting hit. “It starts with fastball command,” said manager Carlos Mendoza. “Using that two-seamer into righties — backdoors to righties and front hip lefties — and just attacking hitter. Him and Hef are working in some of the mechanics that he needs to be making some adjustments to, but he’ll be fine.” ROSTER MOVE The Mets optioned right-hander Dedniel Nuñez and left-hander Danny Young to Triple-A Syracuse after they pitched two days in a row. They used one roster spot to call up Christian Scott, Saturday’s starter, and another to call up right-handed reliever Cole Sulser. This leaves the Mets with only one left-hander in the bullpen, Jake Diekman, but Mendoza isn’t worried since they have right-handers who get lefties out. ‘DISAPPOINTED DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF’ N MYSELF’ BY ABBEY MASTRACCO Houser says move to bullpen is a chance to work on mechanics 54 Sunday, May 5, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

Mets pitcher Adrian Houser said he knows he needed to pitch better to stay in the rotation and will use move to the bullpen as motivation to better himself. AP SEE MORE COVERAGE AT NYDAILYNEWS.COM BY ABBEY MASTRACCO NEW YORK DAILY NEWS ST. PETERSBURG — They may not have gotten a win on the field Saturday, but they got a huge win for the player development department with the debut of right-hander Christian Scott. The Mets’ most heralded pitching prospect since Steven Matz in 2015 made his big-league debut Saturday night at Tropicana Field. He looked a little like a rookie when he gave up three straight hits and the tying run before even recording an out. But then he struck out Randy Arozarena and got Harold Ramirez to ground into a 5-4-3 double play. After that, he looked nothing like a rookie, cruising through the rest of his outing. Ultimately, the Mets lost, 3-1, to the Tampa Bay Rays to drop the series, but not because of Scott. Righthander Adam Ottavino (1-1) walked in a run with two out in the eighth inning and Sean Reid-Foley did the same. Tampa Bay right-hander Zack Littell held the Mets to one earned run over six innings and three other relievers blanked them the rest of the way. Scott turned in a stellar performance, holding the Rays (16- 18) to one earned run on five hits. He walked one and struck out six. Not bad for a pitcher who wasn’t even a full-time starter two years ago. A 24-year-old University of Florida product who grew up a few hours away in Coconut Creek, the Mets took Scott in the fifth round of the 2021 draft as a reliever. He was converted to a starter in 2022 and the Mets sent him to the Arizona Fall League after wrapping up the season to begin the full-time conversion. Scouts said he didn’t have enough pitches, and some still think he doesn’t with only three considered major league quality, possibly four. He started the 2023 season late because of an oblique injury. He wasn’t even considered a top prospect heading into last season. Scott dominated hitters last season, reaching Double-A Binghamton and pitching in the playoffs. He was named the Mets organizational pitcher of the year after striking out 107 hitters at three levels. The Mets invited Scott to major league spring training this year and assigned him to Triple-A. He arrived ready, armed with a lower arm slot, a new sweeper and an understanding of when to use it. He continued to throw strikes for Triple-A Syracuse. The Mets expected him to have a big season, but they didn’t know he would excel so quickly. Just about everything Scott does, he does quickly. He worked efficiently, even with runners on base, though he didn’t have many of those after the first inning. He retired 10 straight after from the second through the fifth. Johnny DeLuca made it to third in the fifth and Scott struck out Jose Siri to strand him. There was a two-out walk in the sixth and a two-out single to former Mets shortstop Amed Rosario in the seventh. The Mets (16-17) had Reed Garrett warm in the bullpen by the time Rosario reached first base and manager Carlos Mendoza was quick to make a change. Scott walked off the field to a standing ovation from fans of both teams. About 50 of Scott’s friends and family members bolstered an already Mets-heavy crowd. Rosario stole second and made it to third on an errant throw by catcher Tomas Nido. A product of the same farm system who once received the same hype, if not more than Scott, threatened to put the rookie right-hander on the hook for a loss. Garrett struck out DeLuca to keep the game tied. Garrett celebrated on the mound as the dugout congratulated Scott. Few could have foreseen this rise back when Scott was pitching in this very same state, but the Mets saw something that others didn’t. Scott’s debut spoiled in late loss to Rays RAYS 3 METS 1 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com Sunday, May 5, 2024 55

Y oung Knicks fans, ones in their 20s or younger, are like all sports fans their age: They think the good old days are now, especially with the kinds of days and nights their team just had against the 76ers. Oh, they’ve heard about what it was like around here in the ’90s, when it was the Knicks against Michael Jordan and against Reggie Miller and his Pacers; against Pat Riley’s Heat once Riley skipped town after a Knicks-Pacers series in 1995. They got an earful about Larry Johnson’s 4-point play against the Pacers when the Knicks were on their way back to the NBA Finals in 1999, especially after Tyrese Maxey made a 4-pointer of his own against them in Game 5. And everybody who follows the NBA, any age, knows about the Sunday afternoon, almost 29 years ago exactly — May 7, 1995 — when Reggie scored eight points in 8.9 seconds at the end of Game 1. That was the day when Reggie looked over at Spike Lee (they’re friends now, in case you’re keeping score at home) and made the choke sign with his hands, and immediately bought prime real estate on the front and back pages of our tabloids. After Maxey did make his 4-point play and then followed that up by making a 3-pointer from the marquee to send Game 5 into overtime, I called Spike the next morning to see if he might be suffering some Reggie PTSD. Spike laughed, because he hadn’t attended the game, he’d been up in the Bronx shooting another movie, his fifth, with Denzel Washington. “They can’t blame this one on me!” Spike said. “I wasn’t in my seat this time, I was just uptown listening on the radio.” There was a pause and then he quietly said, “Twenty-nine years ago since Reggie did it to us, and it’s still too soon.” Those were the days. And nights, here and in Indy. It was Reggie against Spike and Reggie against the Knicks and a back page at this paper that actually read this way: “Knicks vs. Hicks.” It was Reggie’s 8 and Larry Johnson’s 4. It was Patrick missing the finger roll that would have tied Game 7 in ’95 and his old teammate, Mark Jackson, saying in the Pacers’ locker room after the game, “Patrick could never make a finger roll to save his life.” Around here, it was all the stuff of legend, good and bad, and you better believe that legend informs the Eastern Conference semifinal series between the Knicks and Pacers that begins on Monday night at the Garden. This is a basketball time in New York, and a high time it is, when it’s all right for those of us who were around in the ’90s — and I was lucky enough to literally have a front-row seat to it all — to say this: “You really had to be there.” Miller wasn’t just one of the great shooters in the history of the NBA, he was a dream leading man for his team in all ways. He wasn’t afraid of the Knicks, he wasn’t afraid of the Garden, he certainly wasn’t afraid of the moment. And it always seemed to be a fair fight. The Knicks got him in ’93, the series in which John Starks famously head-butted the Pacers star. Then came the Eastern Conference finals of ’94, with the Knicks trying to make it back to the NBA finals for the first time since the ’70s. That was the series when Reggie really got into it with Spike, on his way to scoring 25 points in the fourth quarter of Game 5. The next day the front page of the Daily News read this way: “THANKS A LOT, SPIKE.” “Can I let you in on a secret?” Reggie told me once when we were walking down Madison Ave. “I loved it all.” But then at the end of Game 7, with the season for both teams on the line, Ewing produced the put-back dunk that put the Knicks back into the Finals. It was, in so many ways, as big as he ever was in the biggest game he’d ever played in the pros: 24 points, 22 rebounds, seven assists, Knicks vs. Pacers brings back memories of classic ’90s rivalry five blocks. When it was over, there was one of the last pictures of his basketball life, Ewing standing on the scorer’s table with his arms in the air in triumph. Yeah, those were the days. And nights. And you better believe that the Indiana Pacers were right in the middle of it. Those Knicks fought more fights with Reggie than they did with Michael Jordan. The two teams played again in the Eastern Conference semis in ’98. The Pacers got the Knicks in that one, when one of the biggest moments was a 3-pointer from 56 Sunday, May 5, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

Reggie — of course — at the end of Game 4 in the Garden, forcing an overtime that the Pacers won, on their way to winning the series in five. The next year after the 8th-seeded Knicks had knocked off the No. 1 Heat in the first round, it was the Pacers for them again. This time Reggie did not make the shots that saved his team, or laid out the Knicks. In Game 6, in fact, he played one of the worst big games of his entire playoff career, shooting 3-for-18 (looking a lot like Maxey did in Philly on Thursday night) and it was the Knicks turn to end his season. I t just always seemed to be Knicks vs. Pacers in the ’90s, and it was still Knicks vs. Pacers in the spring of 2000. Patrick’s knees were shot by then. The entire Knicks team limped into the Eastern Conference finals. Still the Knicks had enough to play six hard games against the Pacers, Reggie finally closing them out with 34 points in Game 6, what turned out to be Ewing’s last game as a Knick in Madison Square Garden. And guess what? Even when it was a new generation of Knick and Pacer players in the playoffs of 2013, when we were sure the 54- win Knicks were on their way to play LeBron James and the Heat in the league’s Final Four, there was that moment near the end of Game 6 in Indianapolis when Carmelo Anthony drove the baseline and got stuffed by Roy Hibbert of the Pacers so emphatically you imagined the Garden shaking back in the city, and the Pacers had laid out the Knicks again. Bottom line on all of this history, now that the Knicks and Pacers get ready to do it again? Knick fans, young and old and in between, want games like those starting Monday night. They want nights like those. They want what the Knicks of the ’90s had, and what they gave us, even if they never won a title. You had to be there. S ince Aaron Judge returned to the Yankees at the end of July last season, two months after he hurt his toe running into that outfield door at Dodger Stadium, he’s hit .226 in 314 at-bats, hit 24 homers with 53 RBI, with an OPS of .873 and a .494 slugging percentage. He can still hit balls out of sight, even with his slow start this season. But he hasn’t looked the same as a hitter since he hurt his toe. Maybe that all changes starting now. l The Red Sox starting pitching continues to be one of the big stories of the early season in baseball. l I know Buddy Hield had a big night off the bench for the Sixers in Game 6, but how in the world does he end up taking that crazy 3 at the end and not Maxey? l Somehow three young guys who played their college ball in Philly — Brunson, Hart, DiVincenzo — have turned themselves into one of the best New York basketball stories of all time. l It would be a pretty fine New York baseball story, by the way, if Luis Severino has come all the way back. l Anthony Volpe looked like a much tougher out to me before the Yankees force-fed him into the leadoff spot. But that might just be part of the Yankees sometimes acting almost desperate to turn the kid into the next Derek Jeter. As if somehow Volpe can make us forget all the kids out of the farm system who never became stars at Yankee Stadium. l It was a layup for Knicks fans to turn on Joel Embiid the way they did, especially after he grabbed Mitchell Robinson’s legs and got away with it. And it’s also fair to talk about how you couldn’t find him in the fourth quarter of Game 6, not really. But even playing on one good leg, Embiid dropped 50 on the Knicks in one game. And he sure had a triple-double in Game 5, even if Game 5 was pretty much Tyrese Maxey’s show. What Embiid basically did, not even being close to 100%, is remind everybody why he has been one of the stars of the sport when healthy. l Jalen Brunson does make it look as easy as Clyde did sometimes. l Somebody explain to all the Celebrity Row Row Rowers at the Garden that they’re not part of the action. With the exception of Shelton Spike Lee, of course. He’s got tenure. l If you have not read Anne Lamott’s new book, “Somehow,” do yourself a favor and buy it today. As always, she writes with beauty, and clarity, and gives her readers food for the soul. l To paraphrase a great old line by my pal Liz Smith, don’t you wonder who gives Marjorie Taylor Greene the creeps? l I was trying to set up my new laptop on Friday afternoon and it got so confusing, no kidding, I almost called Aaron Rodgers. l I love the NBA saying Maxey should have been called for traveling at the end of Game 5. Got it. Now they’re going to start calling traveling. THIS ISN’T THE JUDGE WE KNOW, VOLPE SHOULDN’T BE LEADING OFF & A LOT TO TALK ABOUT WITH EMBIID … With the Knicks facing the Pacers in the playoffs starting Monday night, it feels like the ’90s again when Spike Lee (opposite page) and Reggie Miller (above) were protagonists.

Pacers’ Obi Toppin is set to face his former squad starting Monday night. AP ‘WE ALWAYS WE ALWAYS FELT HE WAS A ELT HE WAS A GOOD PLAYER’ OOD PLAYER’ Toppin, a Knick until last summer, oppin, a Knick until last summer, returns as foe with Pacers eturns as foe with Pacers 58 Sunday, May 5, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

BY KRISTIAN WINFIELD NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Obi Toppin, we meet again. The Knicks drafted Toppin with the No. 8 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, only to trade him to the Indiana Pacers for a pair of second-round picks last summer. And with the Knicks advancing to the second round of the playoffs after powering through the Philadelphia 76ers in Round 1, they will now see their former high-flying forward logging minutes for a Pacers team that defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in six games in the first round. “We always felt he was a good player,” Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters after practice at the Tarrytown training facility on Saturday. “I don’t think anything has changed.” Toppin shot 40.6% from three during the regular season in his first year with the Pacers, six percent better than his best season with the Knicks (34.4%) and eight percent better than his average over the three years he spent in New York (32.5 %). His averages of 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.6 steals per game are all career-highs, and he appeared in all 82 games for the Pacers this season, starting 28 of them. “He’s very athletic, runs the floor great, shoots the ball, can score the ball, has always been a gifted scorer,” Thibodeau said. “And like I said, we loved having him.” Toppin couldn’t secure a larger role in New York because All-Star forward Julius Randle played the lion’s share of the minutes at the four. “He was in a situation here where he was playing behind Julius,” Thibodeau said. “That was the story behind that.” The spry former Knick now comes off the bench in Indiana, where the Pacers traded for perennial All-Star forward Pascal Siakam.

Brunson said he has tons of respect for Haliburton after Thursday’s practice in Tarrytown. “Great player. Didn’t really know him until — I knew of him, we met a couple times, but we didn’t become friends until last summer,” he said. “Great guy, great family. He became one of my friends through the experience last summer. I have all the respect in the world for him and the way he plays the game. He just goes out there, plays the right way and does what he has to do.” Haliburton earned a spot on Team USA’s 2024 Paris Olympic roster. Brunson was named one of 28 finalists but was left off the roster. ROTATION ADJUSTMENTS? Asked if he would consider expanding the Knicks’ rotation to combat the Pacers’ pace of play, Thibodeau said, with a smile: “We could.” The Knicks were already short Randle (dislocated shoulder) entering the first round against the 76ers. They then lost Bojan Bogdanovic for the rest of the season due to a foot injury Mitchell Robinson is also playing with an ankle injury. Precious Achiuwa has already been in the rotation, but Alec Burks, who has not played any playoff minutes, could be in play with Bogdanovic out. “Well you’ve gotta look at who they’re playing as well,” Thibodeau said. “So they’ve cut back [on their rotation], so it’s all about matchups.” DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com Sunday, May 5, 2024 59

Sierra Leone, with jockey Tyler Gaffalione (wearing number 2), Forever Young, with jockey Ryusei Sakai, and Mystik Dan, with jockey Brian Hernandez Jr., cross finish line at Churchill Downs during the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. Mystik Dan, an 18-1 shot, won the year’s first leg of the Triple Crown, with Sierra Leone second and Forever Young third.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The 150th Kentucky Derby produced one of the most dramatic finishes in its storied history — three noses at the wire. Mystik Dan desperately fought to hang on with two challengers coming to him in the closing strides. He did, too, after a delay of several minutes while the closest three-horse photo finish since 1947 was sorted out. That year, Jet Pilot won by a head over Phalanx and a length ahead of Faultless. Mystik Dan, an 18-1 shot, edged Sierra Leone by a nose, with Forever Young another nose back in third on Saturday. Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. squeezed Mystik Dan through a tight spot to reach the rail turning for home and the bay colt suddenly found another gear. He took off down the stretch and built a slight lead. “When he shot through that spot, he was able to cut the corner and I asked him to go for it,” Hernandez said. “He shot off and I’m like, ‘Oh man, I’ve got a big chance to win the Kentucky Derby.’ ” Mystik Dan got so close to the rail that Hernandez’s boot struck it. “But I think we can buy another pair of boots,” he said. The winner’s share of the record $5 million purse was $3.1 million, with the jockey and trainer typically earning 10% each. “Just a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant jockey and ride,” trainer Kenny McPeek said. “Brian is one of the most underrated jockeys, but not anymore, right?” Sierra Leone, the second choice at 9-2 odds, and Forever Young from Japan gave chase and pressured the leader to the wire in front of 156,710 at Churchill Downs, the largest crowd since 2018. It was just the 10th Kentucky Derby decided by a nose — the closest margin in horse racing — and the first since Grindstone edged Cavonnier to wear the garland of red roses in 1996. The crowd waited several minutes in the heat and humidity as the result was reviewed by the stewards and declared official. “The longest few minutes of my life,” Hernandez said, after he and Mystik Dan walked in circles while the stunning result was settled. “To see your number flash up to win the Derby, I don’t think it will sink in for a while.” Fierceness, the 3-1 favorite, finished 15th in the field of 20 3-year-olds. Owner Mike Repole is 0 for 8 in the derby. He had the favorite in 2011 with Uncle Mo, who was scratched the day before the race with an illness. Last year, Forte was scratched the morning of the race as the favorite with a bruised foot. Mystik Dan ran 1 ¼ miles over a fast track in 2:03.34 and paid $39.22, $16.32 and $10. Hernandez and McPeek had teamed for a wire-to-wire win in the Kentucky Oaks for fillies on Friday with Thorpedo Anna. McPeek is the first trainer to sweep both races since Ben Jones in 1952. McPeek’s only other victory in a Triple Crown race was also a shocker: 70-1 Sarava won the 2002 Belmont Stakes — the biggest upset in that race’s history. The colt spoiled the Triple Crown bid of War Emblem. The winning owners are cousins Lance and Brent Gasaway and Daniel Hamby III, all from Arkansas. Sierra Leone returned $6.54 and $4.64. Forever Young was another nose back in third and paid $5.58 to show. Sierra Leone lugged in and bumped Forever Young three times in the stretch, but jockey Ryusei Sakai didn’t claim foul. Catching Freedom was fourth, followed by T O Password of Japan, Resilience, Stronghold, Honor Marie and Endlessly. Dornoch was 10th and then came Track Phantom, West Saratoga, Domestic Product, Epic Ride, Fierceness, Society Man, Just Steel, Grand Mo the First, Catalytic and Just a Touch.

I t says a lot about the character of Jose Abreu that after a standout major league career, as well as being a respected team leader, he agreed to a possibly unprecedented demotion last week to the Astros’ spring training complex. The 37-year-old Abreu, in the second year of a $58.5 million contract, is off to an awful start, .099 with just one extra base hit, but could have insisted to be kept on the Astros roster to work out his hitting difficulties in the majors. But as Astros GM Dana Brown said: “Jose Abreu is an outstanding human being. He is unselfish and he’s a teammate’s guy.” … The Nationals last week placed Joey Gallo on the injured list with a shoulder sprain, but you have to wonder if he’ll ever be back. Gallo is hitting .122 with a .311 slugging pct., and leading the majors with 43 strikeouts. It’s a continuation for one of the worst hitters in major league history. In 10 seasons with five different clubs, Gallo has a .195 average with 1,233 strikeouts in 2,720 at bats. All that’s kept in the majors is his 201 home runs. … It’s nice to see the Babe Ruth museum in Baltimore making a comeback after so many years of irrelevancy, starting with the revival of the prestigious Babe Ruth Sultan of Swat crown that was first awarded in 1956 to Mickey Mantle by the Maryland Professional Baseball Players Association at their annual banquet, but ceased being presented in 1998. Last week at Oriole Park, the award was revived and presented to the Yankees’ Aaron Judge by Joe DiBlasi, the corporate consultant for the museum. “We chose Judge for very natural reasons related to the Babe,” DiBlasi said, “breaking Roger Maris’ record. According to DiBlasi, there are plans underway to revive the Baltimore winter baseball banquet as well in conjunction with the Babe Ruth Museum which is housed at 216 Emery St. in Baltimore, the Babe’s birthplace, and the Sultan of Swat award is now going back to being a regular thing. IT’S A MADD MADD WORLD... BILL MADDEN BASEBALL NOT WORTH THE RISK B aseball got the saddest of possible news this week: Mike Trout, who in 2019 was on his way to going down as one of the greatest players in the game’s history when he agreed to a record 12-year, $426.5 million extension with the Angels, is hurt again. Major hurt again. This time a torn meniscus in his knee that is likely going to sideline him for at least 3-4 months. This will mark the fifth straight year since signing that record extension that Trout will miss a substantial part of the season, with injuries to his calf, back and hand, after playing at least 157 games in each of his seasons from 2013- 2016. In other words, if ever there was a surer bet to make good on an expensive 10-year contract into his late 30s, it was Trout. But as we all now know, painfully too well, these contracts of nine or more years never work out, and now it is the Yankees, facing a showdown with Scott Boras on Juan Soto at the end of the year, looking at Trout and coming to grips with having to saddle themselves with an even bigger record-breaking contract, very likely involving $100 million or more wasted money at the end. Right now Soto, at 25, looks like as sure a bet as Trout did at 27 when he signed his extension: He’s played 150 or more games in each of his full seasons since his rookie year in 2018, consistently had more walks than strikeouts, three times led the league in OBP and if the voting was held right now he’s the likely American League MVP. On the other hand, he’s not the defensive player Trout was. Nor does he have Trout’s speed, and likely will be mostly a DH by the time he’s 30. In the last couple of years, the baseball owners and their more analytically-inclined GMs have shied away from contracts of more than five years, especially for free agents from other teams, and it will be interesting to see what kind of bidding war Boras can conjure up for Soto, especially if Steve Cohen elects to make Pete Alonso his top priority this offseason. The fact is, there is only one team in baseball that needs to sign Soto and that’s the Yankees. So it probably won’t make much difference for Hal Steinbrenner to review the four most expensive contracts in baseball history after Trout’s, especially since two of them are his. But it’s a good guess the other owners have taken notice. No. 2 is Bryce Harper (13 year, $330 million) who so far has been worth every penny of it for the Phillies, leading them to the postseason in each of the last two years and winning National League MVP honors in 2021. But a bum shoulder has already forced Harper to switch to first base and it cannot be ignored that, at 31, he still has seven more years and a total of $170 million left on the contract. No. 3 Giancarlo Stanton (13 year, $325 million) is Hal’s guy (thanks to the misguided 2017 trade with Derek Jeter and the Marlins) who missed nearly 100 games with injuries in 2022-23 and hit .191 last year. Don’t remind Hal he’s got Stanton for three more years after this one for a total of $86 million. No. 4 Manny Machado (11 year, $350 million) has been a huge disappointment for the Padres after finishing second in the NL MVP voting in 2022. They were counting on him to lead them to the postseason last year. Instead he was mediocre and they finished out of the money. This year he’s so far been even more mediocre (.250/.306/.403, 5 HR) and he’s got nine more years on the contract to age 41 and a total of $270 million. But the all-time winner for stupidity remains Alex Rodriguez’s 10-year, $275 million contract by the Yankees. Remember how A-Rod had opted out of what was already the richest contract in baseball history (10 year, $252 million) in 2007 and instead of celebrating their good fortune, the Yankees took him back and gave him a raise, maintaining at the time they could recoup a lot of that money by marketing him as the “clean” all-time home run champion as he pursued Barry Bonds record. We all know how that worked out. Certainly Hal knows the risks of these contracts of upwards of $300 million. In December 2022, he tried hard to hold the line at eight years for Aaron Judge because of his history of injuries but in the end gave him a ninth to keep him from going to the Giants. At the time, the Yankee brass privately conceded they’d be fortunate to get 5-6 years of MVP-caliber productivity from Judge. So far into the contract, Judge missed nearly 60 games last year with a foot injury and was hitting .200 going into the weekend this year. Trout should serve as a warning that 10-year deals just never work out Mike Trout, who signed a record e Trout, who signed a record contract in 2019, has missed a act in 2019, has missed a significant p significant part of each season art of each season since with injuries.

BY FIIFI FRIMPONG NEW YORK DAILY NEWS The 2024 Liberty training camp roster still features last season’s star-studded starting lineup that lifted the franchise to its first WNBA Finals since 2002. However, the injuries, distractions and lifestyle changes currently aren’t obstacles that face some of the key contributors. Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones and Courtney Vandersloot are all settled as incumbent New Yorkers and feel they’ve hit the ground running from Day 1 of training camp. The same couldn’t be said last year with the trio spending a good portion — if not most — of training camp on the sidelines with injuries. “A lot of things kind of hit me from different sides,” Jones told the Daily News about her 2023 training camp experience after landing in New York via trade. “I didn’t come in healthy and then I was learning a new offense. Learning how to play with players that I’ve never played in the WNBA with before.” Jones’ injury and transition contributed to a slow start as new Liberty member. Her foot ailment, which was suffered in the 2022 WNBA Finals with the Connecticut Sun, lingered into the start of the 2023 season while she averaged just 10.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Both numbers were lower than her career marks of 13.2 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. After getting familiar with Sandy Brondello’s system and overcoming the foot injury post-All-Star break, Jones took off. She recorded a double-double in seven of the 10 matchups after the break while averaging 14.6 points and 12.4 boards during that span. The center had recorded just two double-doubles before the break. She hopes the same kind of production will be on display from Game 1 of the regular season with the previous year under her belt. “So it was a lot of things I was trying to learn and get over in the same time,” Jones said about last season. “And I feel like this year everything has kind of fallen into place and allowed me to come in and transition seamlessly.” Stewart — the 2023 MVP — was “excited” to pick up from where the team ended last season. She wasn’t granted that continuity after departing Seattle for New York in free agency. She had also been playing for Turkish club Fenerbahçe while the Liberty pursued her in free agency. “For sure,” Stewart said during Saturday’s media day when asked if this training camp and offseason feels like less of a whirlwind. “I started training camp with no furniture,” Stewart added. “And now to be like settled. I know where I live, I know my things, I know what my kids are doing. And I can just come here to work with my team and continue to get better. The Syracuse-born hooper also said she’s gotten so accustomed to New York City that she no longer relies on her car to get around. “I take the subway. I take the subway a lot,” she said. “I just can’t do traffic. The drivers make me carsick.” The team’s starting guard had hurdles to get over, too. Vandersloot, who signed a deal with the Liberty last offseason, suffered a concussion and missed key practice time before the start of the 2023 regular season. Brondello believes that the stars — and the rest of the team — building this chemistry is needed for the franchise to win its first title in team history. She likened the need for the team’s core to stick together like the Las Vegas Aces’ core has. Aces superstars A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young have been together since the 2019 season. Star guard Chelsea Gray and big Kiah Stokes joined that core group in 2021. The group lifted Hall of Famer Becky Hammon’s squad to back-to-back titles in the 2022 and 2023 seasons after years of early postseason exits. Brondello and the Liberty look to follow that mold. And getting the core back healthy with less distractions is step one in the yearlong process. She said getting the squad back healthy for this training camp “is nice because last year Stewie had three days with us, JJ was injured, Slooty got concussed. So it was like ‘OK here we go we’re gonna have a training camp in the first month of the season.’ “And you just see the chemistry. The only way you can build chemistry is time. And Vegas had that. You see the continuity, how they’ve grown over the years and we’re hoping that we can take a huge step this year.” Liberty progressing through camp injury-free with fewer distractions Breanna Stewart (l.) and Jonquel Jones are ready for the 2024 WNBA season.

BY ANTWAN STALEY NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Jordan Travis was having a fairy tale final season at Florida State before his season-ending leg injury. That injury caused the 24-year-old to slide to the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, where the Jets selected him 171st overall. While some players might have played the “what if” game, Jordan says he doesn’t think about where he would’ve been selected had he stayed healthy. “It’s a dream come true, at the end of the day,” Travis said on Saturday. “It’s an opportunity for me to get better. That’s the way I look at it, God has a plan for me. “Every day I wake up, I just have to be the best person I can be, best teammate I can be at everything I do. It is a dream come true to be here. I love it here and I can’t wait to meet my other teammates.” During his five seasons at Florida State, Travis threw for 8,644 yards, 66 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. He also rushed for 1,910 yards and 31 TDs. Travis’ finest season with the Seminoles came in 2023. He finished with 2,756 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, two interceptions and completed 64% of his passes. Travis also led Florida State to its first ACC Championship since 2014 and finished fifth in the Heisman voting. However, Travis suffered a season-ending broken leg against North Alabama last November that required surgery. Travis said after his injury, he found inspiration from his family, who helped him endure a challenging time. “I have a great supporting cast back home,” Travis said. “My family, my friends, they push me every single day. They inspire me to be better. “My mom goes to work 8 to 5 every single day, so she inspires me.” Travis came to Florida State and coach Mike Norvell’s program as a raw athletic quarterback with great potential. He left as one of the more accurate passers in the nation. Travis is accurate in the short and intermediate passing game and excels in play-action. He is also an intelligent decision-maker and has a lightning-quick release. “Jordan is a dynamic player and obviously a tough injury for him and the team last year, but dynamic player,” Jets general manager Joe Douglas said. “He came on a 30-Visit, just getting a chance to spend time with him and get to know him as a as a person. “He’s a special guy, you can see why teammates gravitate towards him and why he’s one of the more respected guys when you talk to other players at Florida State. So, we’re just happy to add him. “He’s coming to a great situation with some unbelievable veteran leadership and kind of similar situation as Olu [Fashanu], but at even at a different level with the two vets we have in the room. So, really cool opportunity for him to learn, develop, and just showcase his ability.” The plan for the 2024 season is for Travis to sit and observe Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor. But Gang Green knows that plans sometimes do not work out. A year ago, the Jets wanted to sit Zach Wilson behind Rodgers after he was the starting quarterback for his first two seasons in the league. But Rodgers tore his Achilles four plays into the Jets season opener against the Bills and missed the rest of the season. With Rodgers, 40, coming off a severe injury and Taylor, 34, with an extensive injury history, the Jets wanted to add another quarterback to their roster. During his pre-draft press conference, Douglas told reporters that he wants to develop a “quarterback factory,” much like the Packers did during the 1990s and 2000s. Travis enters the Jets’ situation knowing he is the third-string quarterback. But there could come a day when he becomes Rodgers’ heir apparent. “I do think about that a lot,” Travis said. “Right now, I’m just focused on my rehab and just getting healthy and getting everybody around me better, and being a great teammate.” Travis did not participate during the Jets rookie minicamp this weekend. He is still rehabbing his leg but has been cleared to return to some activities. During the rehab process, Travis has been doing movement exercises and squatting. During the two-day minicamp, Travis rode a stationary bike off to the side. “I feel great,” Travis said. “Just focusing on rehab and doing my best and just trying to get ready as fast as possible, obviously, that’s the goal. Just try to get 100% and get better every day.” Jets coach Robert Saleh told reporters on Friday that Travis won’t partake in OTAs and mandatory minicamp, but he should be cleared for training camp in late July. “We feel like he’s kind of a ball of clay,” Saleh said about Travis. “A lot of these kids are coming from college and the style of college, its tremendous schemes, but they’re more tailor-made to what they can and can’t do rule-wise at the college level. “You’re getting these quarterbacks who when it comes to footwork and throwing motion and just being able to process and working in an NFL offense, getting under center, controlling the huddle, all that good stuff. There are so many things that we feel like we can build on that athleticism. So, there’s a lot of excitement with regards to that.” Jets rookie quarterback Jordan Travis broke his ookie quarterback Jordan Travis broke his leg while pla leg while playing at Florida State last season. ying at Florida State last season.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Max Verstappen inched closer to a third consecutive win at the Miami Grand Prix on Saturday by continuing his long domination of Formula 1 qualifying. The three-time reigning F1 champion won his seventh consecutive pole, but first at Miami, where Verstappen failed to earn the top starting spot in the first two races around Hard Rock Stadium, yet still won them both. “I don’t know what it is, every single year we come here I find it extremely difficult to be consistent with the car feeling, with the tire feeling over one lap,” Verstappen said. “I think we did OK. It’s not the most enjoyable lap of my career, but we’re on pole and that’s the most important.” The pole-winning run tied Verstappen with Alain Prost in opening the season with six consecutive poles. Prost did it in 1993. “Good start,” Verstappen radioed his team. “Let’s keep it going.” Verstappen opened Saturday with a win in the sprint race and ended the day with his 38th career pole. The Red Bull driver turned a lap at 1 minute, 27.241 seconds to best the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. and will lead the field to green on Sunday for the first of F1’s three races this year in the United States. Verstappen has won four of the first five F1 races this season. Sergio Perez, Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull, qualified fourth and was followed by McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, who were likely disappointed after upgrades brought to Miami has the team hoping to move closer to competition with Red Bull and Ferrari. Mercedes drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton qualified sixth and seventh and were followed by Nico Hülkenberg of Haas and Yuki Tsunoda of Red Bull’s junior team. It was a terrible session for Tsunoda teammate Daniel Ricciardo, who was having a decent weekend until he failed to advance out of the first qualifying group. Ricciardo was strong in Friday qualifying for the sprint race and finished fourth in the warm-up race Saturday. He qualified 18th in the 20-driver field but will start last because he must serve a three-spot grid penalty earned in F1’s last outing, in China. It was also a poor qualifying day for American driver Logan Sargeant of Pompano Beach. At his home track, and while his job with Williams is in clear jeopardy, Sargeant qualified 17th. “Are we in? Please tell me we are in,” he radioed his team in hopes he’d advanced out of the first group. When told he was eliminated, the 23-year-old replied, “that’s a shame. Kevin Magnussen of Haas is under FIA investigation for unsportsmanlike behavior for how he raced earlier Saturday in the sprint race. Magnussen was penalized three times in the sprint race and said after that all were fair.

ENDZONE BY KRISTIAN WINFIELD NEW YORK DAILY NEWS This time, the Knicks hope things will be different. It’s been just over a decade since the last time the Knicks and Indiana Pacers met in the playoffs, where New York’s 2013 team led by Carmelo Anthony coughed up home-court advantage in Game 1 then lost in the second round to a Pacers team led by Paul George and David West. The names on the back of the jerseys are different, but the goals remain the same. Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam. It’s orange and blue versus blue and gold — with a chance to face the Boston Celtics’ green and white looming for the victor of this second-round Eastern Conference playoff matchup. This Pacers team, however, is unlike the ones the Knicks have seen in playoffs past. The Knicks and Pacers met three times during the regular season, and the Pacers won the season series, 2-1. In fact, the Pacers scored 140 points in a Dec. 30 victory at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, then another 125 points in a Feb. 10 victory at Madison Square Garden. Unlike the previous iterations of their team, these Pacers put less of a premium on defense and play fast to beat teams in transition, an area the Knicks had their struggles earlier in the season. The Pacers scored 120 or more points in all four of their first-round victories against the Milwaukee Bucks. “It’s hard to define pace. I think we’re fifth in scoring. I think we’re probably second in fast break points, and then when you look at total shot attempts, we’re always at the top,” head coach Tom Thibodeau said after practice at the team’s Tarrytown training facility on Saturday. “So however you get there, you can make the stats say whatever you want, but the most important one is net rating, and so that’s what we look at. You want to be strong on offense and defense. I think we’re fourth and fifth, or fifth in offensive rating. And we’ll be challenged again. Our defense has to be great.” Both the Knicks and Pacers orchestrated trades to elevate their ceilings mid-season. The Knicks traded RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley for Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa on the day they lost to the Pacers on Dec. 30. They also traded Quentin Grimes, Evan Fournier, Ryan Arcidiacono, Malachi Flynn and a pair of second-round picks to the Detroit Pistons for Bojan Bogdanovic (who is out for the rest of the playoffs with an ankle injury) and Alec Burks. The Pacers got their superstar point guard Haliburton some help in a deal with the Raptors, acquiring the two-time All-Star Siakam from Toronto. Both Anunoby and Siakam were members of the Kawhi Leonard-led Raptors team that won an NBA title in 2019. The Pacers own a 23-18 record in games Siakam has played, while the Knicks are 20-3 in games with Anunoby, who missed a chunk of the season due to an elbow procedure. “He can do things on the court that’s kind of hard to teach,” Brunson said of Anunoby’s defensive presence after practice on Saturday. “And obviously have the athleticism, the length to cover ground the way that he does is remarkable, but I just think he has the confidence as well just because he’s done it so many times and it’s made him successful. So when you get in situations where you need to help your team win, you do things that make you comfortable and make you successful. And he’s just been doing it his DIFFERENT NAMES, entire career. It’s nothing new. He’s just doing it with New York.” The upcoming second-round Eastern Conference series marks the eighth time the Knicks and Pacers have met in the playoffs. The two teams have two separate stints of meeting each other three postseasons in a row. The rivalry began in 1993, when John Starks’ headbutt of Reggie Miller in Game 3 sparked what would become one the more contentious battles in the league. Starks was ejected, and Miller went on to score 36 points to lead the Pacers to a 23-point victory, but the Knicks would go on to wrap up the series, 3-1, in Game 4 of a best-of-five series. A similar outcome ensued the following postseason, when the Knicks and Pacers met in the 1994 Eastern Conference finals. That series is best-known for Miller’s 25-point fourth-quarter comeback in Game 5, and the infamous choking gesture directed at Spike Lee as the Pacers outscored the Knicks, 35-16, in a stunner at The Garden. The Knicks, however, won the series in seven games to advance to the 1994 NBA Finals, where they lost to the Houston Rockets in Game 7. As history would have it, the Knicks and Pacers met a third consecutive year in the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals. The Pacers acquired former Knicks point guard Mark Jackson in a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, and Miller put on another clutch performance, scoring eight points in the final nine seconds of Game 1 at MSG to steal a win off Knicks to meet Pacers for 8th time in NBA playoffs 70 Sunday, May 5, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com

END ZONE The Knicks and Pacers clash for an 8th time in the playoffs, but this time Jalen Brunson (r.) and Tyrese Haliburton lead the way. WIRE PHOTO SAME JERSEY the Knicks’ home floor. Miller’s Pacers secured their first playoff series victory over the Knicks in Game 7 on Patrick Ewing’s blown layup, and Pat Riley resigned from his post as head coach at the conclusion of the NBA Finals. The Knicks and Pacers met another three straight playoff series, beginning in the second round in 1998. Ewing played on with a broken wrist, and the Pacers won the series in five games. They would meet again the following year after the lockout-shortened 1999 season, clashing once more in the Eastern Conference Finals with a trip to the Finals on the line for the victor. The Knicks stole Game 1 in Indiana and won the series in six games before falling to the San Antonio Spurs in five in the Finals. And in 2000, the Knicks made it back to the Eastern Conference Finals, but there was no answer for Miller, who was on a quest to make an NBA Finals appearance. He succeeded in eliminating the Knicks to lead Indiana to its only ever Finals appearance. It would take 13 more years for the rivalry to be reborn, this time with new faces but similar agendas. Anthony’s Knicks didn’t have enough firepower for the stingy Pacer defense that moved past New York in the 2013 Eastern Conference semis to lose to LeBron James’ Miami Heat in the conference finals. It’s now Haliburton and Siakam. Brunson, but with no Julius Randle, the three-time AllStar whose season ended on a dislocated right shoulder in late January. Brunson is coming off of his first-ever All-Star nod and exploded onto the scene as a bona fide star averaging 28.7 points per game in the regular season, then another 35.5 points and nine assists in the first round to power his Knicks through the Philadelphia 76ers in six games. Haliburton and Brunson have different play styles: Haliburton is more of a facilitator, whereas Brunson is the head of the Knicks’ scoring punch. Haliburton averaged 16 points and nine assists in the first round, as his Pacers advanced past a Bucks team without Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose season ended on a non-contact calf injury. Without Antetokounmpo, Siakam averaged 36.5 points through the first two games of Indiana’s first-round series against the Bucks. The Knicks lead the all-time regular-season head-to-head matchup, 100-95, against the Pacers, but they are losing the playoff head-to-head, 22-19. DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com Sunday, May 5, 2024 71

National Nurses Week SHUTTERSTOCK Celebrate Nurses Week with the Daily News lebrate Nurses Week with the Daily News T omorrow is National Nurses Day, which always falls on May 6 and kicks off National Nurses Week, a time to celebrate, honor, and appreciate nurses and the nursing profession. Nurses Week culminates with International Nurses Day, a global celebration of nurses that falls on Florence Nightingale’s birthday, May 12. Nurses are highly skilled and educated medical professionals who perform complicated procedures and maintain a high level of scientific and technical knowledge. However, those aspects of nursing are often overlooked because it’s usually their kindness, compassion, comfort, and patience that we remember after we or a loved one receive their expert care. The Daily News proudly celebrates National Nurses Week 2024 with our tenth consecutive National Nurses Week special section. We are deeply indebted to the nursing professionals who contributed their time, experience, and expertise to this supplement. We are also grateful for the opportunity to thank all the nurses who help us through our most challenging and fearful times. They get us on our worst days and always give us their best. Thank you, nurses!

2 Sunday, May 5, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com I had decided to write an informative but potentially repetitive article on professional nurses, living and dead, who have used their skills as nurses to make a difference in the Greater New York Metropolitan Area. I came up with what I thought was a good cross-section of representatives of the profession’s diverse nursing roles and challenges. Some readers might know about these nurse leaders already, and others would hopefully take the opportunity to learn about the differences they made. After watching the YouTube video on the American Academy of Nursing’s 2023 Living Legends Ceremony and thinking about the Nurses Week theme, “Nurses Make a Difference,” I decided to take a more personal approach and celebrate some of the incredible nurse leaders whom I’ve encountered over my long career as a nurse, educator, advocate, and consultant. As an Academy Fellow, I had planned to attend the 50th Anniversary Celebratory Meeting in Washington, DC, especially since my friend and mentor Dr. Madeline Naegle, professor emerita at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing, was one of the inductees. Unfortunately, all my plans were negated by a nasty virus that took over my right lung field. No one would have been happy hearing me cough throughout the gala. So, the Good Nurse that I am, I stayed home. Madeline Naegle’s remarks were poignant, and as she recounted events from her illustrious career in nursing education, research, and addictions nursing practice, I began to remember events where our lives intersected. This was my second viewing of the content, and I was surprised at how fresh some memories felt. Most vivid for me was the day that the NYS Legislature, in their last days in session, decided that they would move on long-pending nursing legislation establishing a Peer Assistance Program as an alternative to discipline within the State Education Department. Just one little problem. The bill needed an almost total rewrite, and we had one day! A group of interested parties, including the New York State Nurses Association (now ANA-New York) practice staff, SED staff, a few lawyers, and the Assembly and Senate sponsors, met and hammered it out. It is now known as the very successful Statewide Peer Assistance Program for Nurses (SPAN). Dr. Naegle’s remarks also reminded me of Dr. Claire Fagin, who interviewed me for the master’s program in child and adolescent psychiatric-mental health nursing at NYU in 1966, and who died this past year. It was her doctoral dissertation on the impact of “rooming-in for parents” of hospitalized children that helped change the often closed and restrictive visiting policies in hospitals. I wish that everyone could have had a “fireside” or “in my office chat” with her. Claire would challenge her students, sometimes make us angry, while getting us to give our best to our patients, fellow students, ourselves and the profession. And she knew (and collaborated with) the BEST people, such as Martha Rogers, Eleanor Lambertsen, Erline McGriff, Suzy Lego, Veronica Driscoll, and, notably, Donna Diers from Yale-New Haven College of Nursing. Dr. Fagin is a 1998 Academy Living Legend. Next, I listened to Donna Diers’ remarks from her Academy Induction as a Living Legend (2010). Claire Fagin had put me in contact with Donna Diers when I needed a crash course on the Medicare Diagnostic-Related Groups and how to appropriately reflect the acuity of nursing care in a state’s reimbursement system (but that is another story). Together, Claire Fagin and Donna Diers were an exponential force of nursing and nature! Treat yourself this Nurses Week to their joint essay, “Nursing as Metaphor,” for mothering, class struggle, equality, conscience, and intimacy, published in both NEJM and AJN (1983). We can only imagine the richness and energy of having these two outstanding nurse theorists and practitioners extolling the rightness of the metaphor! It is striking how many nurses from the Greater New York Metropolitan Area have made significant contributions to the practice of nursing and improved the health of individuals and communities. ANA’s Hall of Fame includes around 40 nurses from this area. Working within the Health and Hospitals Corporation of the City of New York, Maggie Jacobs was a powerful leader for nurses’ employment rights. She was a fierce and effective advocate for New York City’s poor and for the development of its health care system believing that the economic and general welfare of nurses through collective bargaining was critical to the effective delivery of nursing care. My final nurse story focuses on a remarkable nurse, Virginia Henderson, who was a nurse educator, pioneer nursing theorist, researcher, patient advocate, and prolific author known for her devoted clarification of the focus of nursing practice (Need Theory). Her definition of nursing as the unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery or to a peaceful death that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge has guided and inspired the practice of generations of professional nurses. She is quite clear that the focus of nursing must be the patient. While Virginia Henderson (1897-1996) was born in Missouri and received her nursing diploma from the Army School of Nursing at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, DC, both New York and Connecticut are proud to claim this mighty dynamo in the profession as from their state. While petite in stature, her sense of humor, personality, and nursing knowledge would captivate her listeners. She received her baccalaureate and master’s degrees from Teachers College of Columbia University, followed by some years at The New York Visiting Nurse Service in NYC and Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY. In 1934, Ms. Henderson returned to Teachers College as an instructor and associate professor. In 1953, Ms. Henderson became a research associate at Yale University School of Nursing and a research associate emeritus (1971-1996). She consistently stressed a nurse’s duty was to the patient rather than the doctor. Ms. Henderson, as a co-author of Harmer and Henderson’s Textbook on the Principles and Practice of Nursing, stressed her unique vision of the nurse’s role and practice. Subsequently, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) asked her to compose an essay on nursing practice and care that would be applicable worldwide and relevant to both nurses and their patients, sick or well. The Basic Principles of Nursing (ICN, 1960) is a landmark book in nursing and is considered the 20th-century equivalent of Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing. Finally, as a respectful “nod to the future of nursing,” congratulations to Lauren Lodico, the 2023-2024 National Student Nurses Association President. She is completing her nursing studies at Molloy College in Rockville Centre. As NSNA President, she focused on a holistic framework for the organization’s activities. We look forward to having Lauren as a nursing colleague. Remember, also, Maya Angelou’s comment on nursing: As a nurse, we have the opportunity to heal the heart, mind, soul and body of our patients, their families and ourselves. They may not remember your name, but they will never forget the way you made them feel. —Karen A. Ballard, MA, RN, FAAN, is retired and provides consultation on professional nursing practice and issues. A member of ANA-NY, she currently lives in Pittsburgh, PA.

4 Sunday, May 5, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com YOUTH NURSING PIPELINE PROGRAMS: TWO SOLUTIONS IN ONE National NursesWeek ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT C reating programs that introduce underrepresented community youth to the healthcare field is one way to bring diversity into the nursing workforce and strengthen recruitment. Many students in underserved communities look at a journey to higher education and a successful career as a barrier impossible to pass. Community pipeline programs supported by schools and local organizations create opportunities for students and help build a future nursing workforce that mirrors the communities they serve. Key components that contribute to increasing the economic health and vitality of a community include job growth, education, and addressing disparities in the workforce. Nurses are best positioned to create and oversee multi-pathway pipeline programs for middle and early high school students that can inspire them to consider a healthcare career. The nursing field offers many jobs that young people may not be familiar with. Today, most healthcare services comprise some form of nursing in acute care and community settings. Nurses are the vital link between the communities and educational opportunities available to people interested in nursing. Growing need for nurses The U.S. Census Bureau projects by 2030, the nursing profession will be caring for a very different U.S. population. All baby boomers will be older than 65. One in every five Americans will be of retirement age. An aging population signals more chronic disease and a need for more nursing care. Demand for qualified nurses will increase at a rapid rate. Labor shortages in health care are projected to worsen, mainly due to the escalating surge of resignations among healthcare professionals from approximately 400,000 per month in 2020 to 600,000 per month by May 2023. (Malley, 2023) Voluntary terminations accounted for 95.4% of all hospital separations in 2023. (NSI, 2024) This situation is made even more dire by the increasing departure and turnover of first- and second-year nurses. According to the 2024 NSI National Healthcare Retention Report, “The R.N. vacancy rate remains elevated at 9.9% nationally. (NSI, 2024, p.8) These staffing shortages will only worsen unless organizations intervene. For the first time in history, there will be the same number of people aged 65 years and older ( 77.0 million) as those under the age of 18 (76.5 million). With larger numbers of older adults, there will be an increased need for geriatric care, including care for individuals with chronic diseases and comorbidities.(Vespa, et al., 2-2-) Growing need for diversity Vespa, Medina, and Armstrong discussed the demographic importance of population changes from 2020 to 2060, highlighting the broader changes that will occur in age, race, and ethnic composition of the population in that time. They posit that the most significant change that Americans will see is that Hispanics and other racial minorities will be the country’s main demographic engine of population change in future years. Smiley and others discussed the racial breakdown of the R.N. population reported in the 2022 National Nursing Workforce Survey. They expressed concern that the breakdown did not mirror the future population projections. The math is obvious; more diversity must happen in the healthcare workforce, especially in nursing. Recruiting and retaining diverse students and faculty to create a workforce that more closely resembles the population of today and tomorrow is essential. The growing understanding of how the conditions where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life issues demands workforce changes to expand diversity that will positively impact the communities. Nurses’ close connections with their patients and communities, their role as advocates for well-being, and their placement across multiple settings position them to address social determinants of health (SDOH). (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2021) he power of pipeline programs Pipeline programs can break down barriers to a diverse workforce and unlock educational opportunities today, resulting in greater diversity in the nursing field tomorrow. Pipeline programs help underrepresented students overcome the barriers they face in attaining higher education and pathways to rewarding occupations. One key benefit of pipeline programs is their ability to increase workplace diversity. In-person or virtual events connect students to nursing professionals and expose them to different roles, responsibilities, opportunities, and collaboration. Outreach programs can begin with health and wellness camps for middle school students where they learn about body systems, common diseases, and leading healthy lifestyles. High school students can attend nursing summer camps and participate in year-round engagement opportunities. he Campaign for Action The Campaign for Action is a national campaign to transform health and healthcare through nursing. The Campaign for Action envisions a healthcare system where nurses contribute fully. The goals for the Campaign for Action are based on recommendations from the Institute of Medicine’s (now the National Academy of Medicine) Future of Nursing report. The campaign is supported by the AARP Foundation, AARP, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The New York State Action Coalition holds an annual Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Conference, with attendees from practice, academia, and student nurses. The New York State Action Coalition Diversity Tool Kit provides resources that help strengthen the capacity of institutions in New York State to create and sustain a diverse nursing workforce that is committed to achieving health equity and eliminating disparities in health care. Brian Colosi, President of NSI, summarized the 2024 NSI National Health Care Retention & R.N. Staffing Report, “The expanding healthcare rolls, the aging population, … the shift in the delivery of care, and the shortage of physicians, nurses & allied professionals, …have all stressed the industry.” (NSI, 2024, p. 13) Nursing must build retention capacity, manage vacancy rates, and bolster recruitment initiatives such as community pipeline programs. — Deborah C.

6 Sunday, May 5, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com A s we prepare to celebrate nurses’ role in the health and well-being of our communities during National Nurses Week, the concept of self-care comes to mind. With all the articles about self-care in the media and nursing journals, one may ask: Is the idea of “self-care for nurses” a 21st-century concept? The answer is a definite no! This concept is at least 100 years old, since Nurses House in Babylon, was established as a destination for nurses to experience selfcare for decades. Picture yourself riding the train to the end of the Long Island spur for the first time as a private duty nurse back in the 1920s, exhausted and spent as only a nurse can be. The conductor announces, “Final stop coming up, Babylon.” You disembark and find your way to Nurses House, a beautiful Victorian mansion. As you approach, wondering what it’s like on the inside, you see the nurses gathered on the front lawn, indulging in—you guessed it—self-care! The nurses are relaxing, gardening, laughing, and, of course, taking in the sun. You start to wonder who these nurses are and where they come from. Are they all private duty nurses like you (as so many nurses were in the 1920s – 1940s)? You have no benefits, minimum wage, safety net, or means to pay for a much-needed vacation. You feel a rush of gratitude for Emily Howland Bourne, the philanthropist who established and funded this respite for up to 60 nurses at a time to come to as “guests” for worry-free rest, recuperation and relaxation. You wonder how she could accomplish this and, more importantly, why she would do this for people she does not know, people not in her social circle. Emily Howland Bourne had first-hand knowledge of how hard nurses worked to care for her family members. As a philanthropist, she wanted to help them experience self-care in any way she could. She made provision in her will for this desire to become a reality. In 1924, her lawyer notified the NYS nursing community that Mrs. Bourne left $300,000 to establish a respite place for nurses who fell ill or were injured and needed a place to recuperate. That would amount to more than $5.5 billion in today’s money! A beachfront mansion was purchased and furnished, and the rest is history. The home had numerous guest rooms, a library, living areas where guests played games, a large kitchen where meals were cooked and served to guests, beautiful gardens with walking paths and a sandy beach directly on the ocean A CENTURY OF SELF-CARE: THE ENDURING LEGACY OF NURSES HOUSE National NursesWeek ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT Emily Howland Bourne

DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com Sunday, May 5, 2024 7 What better way to practice self-care than spending time on the beach, swimming, boating, or hiking in your knickers and enjoying the outdoors? Sadly, time takes its toll on physical structures, and the beautiful Nurses House was not immune to this fate. The costs of maintaining the house drained the resources required to help nurses in need and fulfill the mission of Nurses House. In 1960, guests visited the Babylon, NY, location for the final time. However, the story of Nurses House does not end here! To borrow a line from the late radio great Paul Harvey, read on to learn “the rest of the story!” Nurses House still exists today, as a national organization providing funds to RNs in need due to serious illness or injury. We provide grants to assist with housing and medical expenses, and any RN residing in the US can apply. Nurses House runs solely on donations and we hope that with your support, we can continue Emily Bourne’s legacy for another 100 years. If you would like to help make a difference in the lives of nurses, visit nurseshouse.org/centennial to donate today. —Gertrude B.

8 Sunday, May 5, 2024 DAILY NEWS NYDailyNews.com National NursesWeek ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT ICU NURSE MAKES A DIFFERENCE WITH A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE Photos courtesy of Mount Sinai Health System J oseph Krivoruk, is an ICU Critical Care nurse at Mount Sinai Brooklyn shared an idea with his colleagues in fall 2023 and that has made the initiative possible.   Sadly, not all patients get to be discharged from the hospital and go home to their loved ones. Some people die, and as healthcare providers, we are the first ones to see that experience of loss. Rather than just talking about death with patients’ loved ones and offering verbal comfort, Joseph wanted to show more support by providing something tangible for families to hold onto when they leave the hospital. He wanted families to know that Mount Sinai faculty understands that although it isn’t their loved one who passed, they understand their pain, feel their frustration, sympathize with their loss, and want them to keep their loved one’s heartbeat with them. He created the “Message in a Bottle Initiative”—the nurses print out the deceased’s last good heart rhythm strip, place it into a small bottle, and present it to the family of the deceased patient. Joseph started thinking about this idea when his father was diagnosed with cancer last year and when his grandmother recently passed away. The last picture he had of his her was the CAT scan of her brain, and that’s what he left the hospital with. He still has it to this day, carries it with him, and shows it to new nurses to remind them that the patients are people who have families and loved ones who are grieving. After reading about a hospital that created a similar ‘take home’ gift for the families of children in the ICU, Joseph thought providing a physical link to families of their patients who pass away was a great idea. Joseph shared the idea with his Nurse Manager, who loved and approved it. A few months later, sadly, Joseph and his colleagues, had the opportunity to put the idea into practice. The first family he gave the “Message in a Bottle” to completely broke down and appreciated being able to hold on to their loved one’s last heartbeat. That showed Joseph that this could really matter and make a difference. Thus far, they’ve created about ten for families, and if a patient passes while he’s on shift, Joseph handles it himself. He isn’t sure if the initiative will spread to other Mount Sinai units/hospital campuses as it’s more of a personal passion project for him, but he would be more than happy to help extend this initiative across Mount Sinai Health System to help more families when dealing with loss. The initiative also builds morale amongst Mount Sinai faculty, as they feel like they’re doing even more good than they already do on a daily basis and are more connected to their patients as human beings with family members and loved ones. Joseph Krivoruk has been at Mount Sinai for ten years after a few years at a homecare hospice company, serving as an EMS personnel. An opportunity arose for him to attend nursing school, but he wasn’t completely sold on nursing as the career for him. When his grandmother got sick and started to deteriorate, Joseph realized the dignity of nursing care and why this work is so important. He knew it was the career path meant for him. Now, he truly loves ICU critical care and cannot see himself doing anything else. He loves it when he can discharge patients from the ICU down to non-critical medical care; he loves helping get patients to that point. He also loves a challenge and helping patients improve. Joseph is also married with kids and runs a wedding photography studio with his wife for about 15 years on the side. He absolutely loves photography and getting to capture happy moments such as weddings and newborn family photos. This family side business is his happy place, where he can balance his mental health and recharge for the intensity of his calling as an ICU nurse. — Mount Sinai Health System Thank you, Nurses!
