The Dallas Mavericks decided to part ways with general manager Nico Harrison on Tuesday, Nov. 11.
The decision came after the team produced a 3-8 start to the NBA season.
A portion of the Mavericks’ fan base has spoken out against Harrison and the front office since the team decided to send superstar Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in a surprising trade that rattled the basketball world in February.
“Fire Nico” chants have been pretty common among fans at American Airlines Center during home games since the deal.
Did ‘Fire Nico’ chants impact Mavericks?
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was asked about the impact of the chants heard during games and whether there is any sort of pressure alleviated by (presumably) no longer having to listen to them.
“We can only hope that we don’t have to go through that again because it was a little disrespectful, because the guys are playing hard,” Kidd told reporters during a pregame press conference on Wednesday, Nov. 12. “With that chant during when we’re shooting free throws, it’s very disrespectful. But understanding they got their point across, but we have to move forward.”
Kidd also did not shy away from the team’s rough start to the season.
“We have a lot of guys that are in street clothes,” Kidd said. “We got over, I think, 100 million dollars sitting on the sideline. … I would hope that we start to get a little credit for that, because these guys, they can hear those things and they feel really disrespected.
“It’s hard to keep guys here in this league when they start to think that the home team is not home and becomes a visiting place, and so, hopefully, that changes tonight.”
Forward Anthony Davis has been ruled out for the Mavericks game on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns due to a calf injury.
Guard Kyrie Irving has not played this season as he continues to recover from a torn ACL in his left knee that he suffered in March. He is expected to return to action at some point during the season.

The 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics are still more than two and a half years away, but organizers made a significant statement in the sports world’s continual journey toward equality for women by announcing that the women’s 100-meter track final, not the men’s, will open the first night of medal competition at the Games. The men’s 100 final, which traditionally goes first, will be held the next evening.
‘It’s really important that we’re able not only to talk about equality, but to actually demonstrate it in a really powerful way, and there’s no bigger platform than the first day of an Olympic Games featuring the women’s 100-meter final,” Olympic gold medalist and World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said Tuesday during an exclusive interview with USA TODAY Sports, which is first to report the news of the 2028 Olympic competition schedule. Registration for tickets will begin in January 2026 at LA28.org.
Olympic gold medalist Janet Evans, LA28 chief athlete officer, said it was ‘incredible” for the women’s 100 meters ‘to be the preeminent event at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2028 on the first night of competition in the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.”
And U.S. Olympic gold and silver medalist Sha’Carri Richardson said the road to LA28 is ‘about to be something special.’
”Especially for the women’s sprints,” Richardson said in a text message sent by a World Athletics spokesperson. ‘The talent, energy, and competition … it’s all going to shine. Just look at Day One of the LA Games. I’m locked in on accomplishing some personal goals and doing my part to help the sport keep growing and inspiring the next generation at home in the USA and across the globe.”
The L.A. Olympics begin July 14, 2028 with the opening ceremony, followed the next day by the first medal event, women’s triathlon, taking place in the Games’ Venice Beach zone. Later that night, the women’s 100 final will be run inside the venerable Coliseum, also site of the 1932 and 1984 Summer Olympics.
To stick to that schedule, all three rounds of the women’s 100 meters will need to be run the same day, July 15, which is a first at the Olympic Games. The men will run their first round on July 15 and the semifinals and final on July 16.
Both Coe and Evans said athletes and coaches were consulted before that decision was made.
‘It was one of the things we talked about, running three 100 meters in one day,’ Evans said. ‘How would that feel as an athlete, mentally and physically? What does that mean? And we took that question very seriously as we spoke to athletes commissions of LA28 as well as athletes commissions from World Athletics. … And so I think when we presented it to the athletes that way, there was excitement. And for the few naysayers, the majority of the athletes said to me, just let me know, right? Like, let me know if this is what’s going to happen, let me know early, and I will start training to run three 100 meters in one day, because it can be done, but I just need to schedule my training.”
Swimming is usually held the first week of the Summer Games and track and field the second, but the two Olympic behemoths are swapping in 2028 for no reason other than logistics. The opening ceremony is going to take place in SoFi Stadium, which is also where the swimming competition will be held. The makeover of the venue will require a few days, necessitating pushing swimming into the Games’ second week for the first time since the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.
The L.A. Olympics will feature a record number of female athletes, with 50.5% of the total athlete quota allocated to women in the Games’ 51 sports, according to LA28. This is a continuation of the Olympic Games’ push for equal participation and billing for women athletes, which goes all the way to the top of the International Olympic Committee with its first female president, Olympic gold medalist Kirsty Coventry.

The NCAA hit Michigan State football with sanctions for violations during Mel Tucker’s time as the Spartans’ head coach on Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Michigan State has been placed on three years of probation by the NCAA and will be forced to vacate 14 wins, which include five under current head coach Jonathan Smith.
According to the NCAA release, it was determined that Tucker violated head coach responsibility rules and failed to monitor his program. He was ruled to have committed Level-1 standard violations, but was not determined to be involved in the recruiting violations. He was, however, hit with a failure to monitor the program.
As a result of the NCAA violations, Michigan State will vacate a total of 14 wins between 2022 and 2024 due to the participation of three ineligible players.
Michigan State went 5-7 under Tucker in 2022, followed by a 4-8 record under Tucker and interim coach Harlon Barnett. The Spartans then went 5-7 in Jonathan Smith’s first season in 2024.
Tucker was fired in the middle of the 2023 season for sexual harassment allegations unrelated to the NCAA. The Spartans are 3-6 this season and have lost six games in a row.
The football program also received restrictions on official visits, unofficial visits, recruiting communication, recruiting-person days and off-campus recruiting contacts and evaluations over a three-year probationary period.
Staff members Saeed Khalif and Brandon Jordan, along with other members of the football staff, were identified by the NCAA for offering or providing approximately $10,764 in impermissible recruiting inducements to six prospects who took unofficial visits to Michigan State.
According to the report, after separating from MSU, both Khalif and Jordan failed to cooperate with the NCAA enforcement staff. Jordan received a five-year show-cause order effective Sept. 25, 2025, that runs through 2030 for Level 1 NCAA violations. Khalif received a six-year show-cause order that runs through 2031. Both will also be suspended for 100% of the football regular season (12 contests) during the first season of employment within the show-cause order.
Tucker contested his head coach’s responsibility violation, with his case being processed through a written record hearing, according to the NCAA’s report. He receives a three-year show cause, during which time any employing member school must restrict him from all athletically related activity.
In addition to that, Tucker also faces a suspension from 30% of the football season during a potential first season of employment within the show-cause order. During that suspension, Tucker cannot participate in any coaching activities.

Jake Paul has found a new opponent for his next boxing match, and the scale remains a relevant object.
Paul is finalizing a fight with Anthony Joshua, the British heavyweight who has fought at 250 pounds or more during his past five bouts.
Gervonta Davis, who was scheduled to fight Paul on Nov. 14 before the exhibition was canceled, weighed 135 pounds for previous bouts.
The quick math: that’s more than a 100-pound difference from the old opponent (Davis) to the new one (Joshua) for a bout that will be livestreamed by Netflix.
Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua size: Height, weight for boxers
Paul typically fights as a cruiserweight, which carries a maximum weight limit of 200 pounds. He has fought as a heavyweight just once, against Mike Tyson last year. He weighed in at 227 pounds and won by unanimous decision over Tyson, who weighed in 228 ½ pounds.
More size issues: Joshua is 6-6, Paul is 6-1.
Height and weight won’t be the only differentiators. Joshua is a two-time world heavyweight champion, having unified the title between 2017 and 2019 and 2019 and 2021. He also figures to be Paul’s toughest opponent yet.
But Joshua, 36, has faltered in recent years. He’s coming off a fifth-round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois during which Joshua got knocked down four times during the bout Sept. 21, 2024. Joshua is 28-4 with 25 knockouts.
Paul, 28, is coming off a victory over Julio Cesar Chavez on June 28. He has won his past six fights, dating back to his only loss – against Tommy Fury by unanimous decision in 2023. He is 12-1 with seven knockouts.
Unlike Paul, Joshua has faced some of the world’s top heavyweights. He lost to Oleksandr Usyk, the current undisputed heavyweight champion, by unanimous decision in 2021 and lost to Usyk again in 2022 by split decision.
Joshua then won four straight fights, including a brutal knockout of Francis Ngannou in 2024. But that preceded his humbling loss to Dubois.
Competing in the Super-Heavyweight division, Joshua won a gold medal at the 2012 Olympics. He turned pro in 2013 and went 22-0 before a shocking TKO loss to Andy Ruiz in 2019.
Paul turned pro in 2020 and has knocked down every opponent except Tyson. But only five of Paul’s 12 opponents were boxers.

- The former NFL wide receiver pleaded not guilty to a second-degree murder charge.
- He was released on a $25,000 bail and must wear a GPS ankle monitor.
- The charge stems from an alleged shooting outside a celebrity boxing match on May 16.
- His attorney claims the shots were fired in self-defense and not aimed at anyone.
Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown must wear a GPS ankle monitor and await trial at home after posting a $25,000 bail, the Associated Press reported Nov. 12.
The arrest warrant – authorities finally extradited Brown back to the United States after he spent months in Dubai, United Arab Emirates – said Brown grabbed a security officer’s gun at the scene and fired shots. One person told authorities a bullet grazed his neck.
Brown’s defense attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, argued that it was Brown’s own weapon used in self-defense and that the shots were not aimed at anybody.
Brown appeared virtually at Wednesday’s hearing and could face a prison sentence of up to 15 years if convicted. Prosecutors, according to the Associated Press, argued for Brown to remain in pre-trial detention since he posed a flight risk. Eiglarsh said Brown had various business interests in Dubai.
“He no longer has a passport. He’ll be living at his home. I look forward to working with him zealously on this case,” Eiglarsh told Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer at the bond hearing, per the AP.

Regardless of how the gold price is doing, the top gold-mining companies are always making moves.
Right now, gold is in the limelight — stimulated by increasing global inflation, geopolitical turmoil and economic uncertainty, the gold price is repeatedly setting new highs in 2025, and broke through the US$4,400 per ounce mark in October.
Rising safe-haven demand for gold alongside concerns over gold mine supply have pushed the metal to record highs in recent years. and market watchers are eyeing world’s top gold-mining companies to see how they respond to market dynamics.
While the future of the economy remains uncertain, the rising gold price has been a boon to gold-mining companies as it improves their margins after several years of high inflation increasing the costs associated with mining operations.
According to US Geological Survey data, gold production came in at 3,300 metric tons in 2024. China, Australia and Russia were the top three gold-producing countries last year.
But what were the top gold-mining companies by production in 2024?
Read on to find out which companies produced the most gold this past year.
1. Newmont (TSX:NGT,NYSE:NEM)
Production: 213.03 metric tons
Newmont is the world’s top gold-mining company. In 2024, the company reported production of 192.96 metric tons of gold.
Newmont has a diverse portfolio of assets, with significant operations in North and South America, Australia and Africa.
Its portfolio includes a 38.5 percent interest in Nevada Gold Mines in Nevada, US, through a joint venture with majority owner Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B).
In 2024, the Nevada Gold Mines complex produced 2.68 million ounces (83.48 metric tons) of gold. Newmont’s attributable share is 1.03 million ounces, or 32.14 metric tons.
The company’s next largest operation is its wholly owned Ahafo South Complex in Ghana. It consists of three mines, the Subika and Awonsu open pits, and the Subika underground mine. Last year, the asset produced 798,000 ounces (24.28 metric tons) of gold for Newmont. The company’s Ahafo North open pit mine achieved commercial production in late 2025 and is expected to average 275,000 and 325,000 ounces of gold per year.
In January 2025, Newmont sold its Porcupine Complex in Ontario, Canada, to Discovery Silver for total consideration of US$425 million. In 2024, the mine produced 270,000 ounces (8 metric tons) of gold. The sale is part of Newmont’s larger divestiture of US$4.3 billion in non-core assets.
2. Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX,NYSE:B)
Production: 121.65 metric tons
Barrick Mining produced 121.65 metric tons of attributable gold in 2024, landing it as the second highest gold producer in the world. Like Newmont, Barrick is a global producer and owns assets on nearly every continent.
Barrick’s largest operation is its 61.5 percent stake in Nevada Gold Mines alongside Newmont. The gold complex accounted for 1.65 million ounces, or 51.34 metric tons, of Barrick’s gold production in 2024.
The company’s second-largest producing asset is its 80 percent owned Loulo-Gounkoto gold complex in Mali, which produced 578,400 ounces of gold in 2024 for Barrick.
While much of Barrick’s production has remained steady over the past several years, disagreements with the Malian government, run by a military junta since a 2021 coup, has brought uncertainty to its operations there.
In 2024, the government accused Barrick of failing to pay its taxes amid changes to royalty rights and mining licenses. It arrested four workers there and issued an arrest warrant for then-CEO Mark Bristow.
In June 2025, the Mali government placed the mine under provisional administration, as a resolution of the dispute failed to materialize.
3. Agnico Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM,NYSE:AEM)
Production: 108.41 metric tons
In 2024, Agnico Eagle produced 108.41 metric tons of gold, taking third place among the world’s biggest gold producers. It wholly owns its portfolio of 11 mines, with seven in Canada, two in Mexico and one in each of Australia and Finland.
The company’s Detour Lake and Canadian Malartic mines in Canada are some of the world’s biggest gold mines.
In 2024, its Detour Lake operation, in Ontario near the Québec border, produced 671,950 ounces (20.9 metric tons) of gold. Just behind was the Canadian Malartic Complex in Québec, which produced 655,654 ounces (20.4 metric tons) in 2024.
Gold production at Canadian Malartic peaked at 715,000 ounces (22 metric tons) in 2021 The mine is a combination of open pit and underground mines; however, the main open pit was depleted in 2023, and the mine is expected to transition to fully underground operations by 2029.
4. Navoi Mining and Metallurgy Company
Production: 96.42 metric tons
In 2024, Navoi Mining and Metallurgy Company produced 96.42 metric tons of gold. NMMC is the largest mining company operating in Uzbekistan, with 12 mines. The company has been in operation since the 1960s, when the country was still part of the Soviet Union.
NMMC’s primary asset is the Muruntau mine, which produced an estimated 2.68 million ounces of gold in 2024. Muruntau is the world’s largest open pit mine and the second highest gold producing mine in the world. It has been in production since 1969.
The company is working on modernizing its operations and considering a potential public listing.
5. Polyus (LSE:PLZL,MCX:PLZL)
Production: 93.36 metric tons
Polyus produced 93.37 metric tons of gold in 2024. The gold company is the largest gold producer in Russia from five wholly owned operations in the country.
Polyus holds significant proven and probable gold reserves of 101 million ounces, or 3,141 metric tons.
Its largest asset is the Olimpiada mine in Eastern Siberia. In 2024, the mine produced 1.48 million ounces (46.93 metric tons) of gold, putting it among the top gold operations in the world. Its second biggest mine is Blagodatnoye, also in Siberia, which produced 500,300 ounces (15.56 metric tons) of gold in 2024.
6. AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU,ASX:AGG)

The company has a portfolio of nine mining assets spread across seven countries in Africa, South America and Australia, as well as numerous exploration projects around the world.
AngloGold’s largest wholly owned operation is the Geita mine in Northwest Tanzania. The property consists of multiple open-pit and underground operations, which produced 483,000 ounces (15 metric tons) of gold in 2024.
The company also owns a 45 percent interest in the Kibali mine located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The mine is the largest gold operation in Africa, producing 686,000 ounces (21.34 metric tons) in 2024, with 308,700 ounces (9.6 metric tons) attributable to AngloGold. The remaining ownership in the mine is held by Barrick Mining at 45 percent and the DRC government at 10 percent.
7. Kinross Gold (TSX:K,NYSE:KGC)
Production: 66.19 metric tons
Kinross Gold ranked seventh on our list of top gold producers with 66.17 metric tons of attributable gold equivalent production in 2024. Kinross maintains considerable and steady output from a portfolio of six assets across Canada, the US, Brazil, Chile and Mauritania.
Kinross has full ownership over all its operating assets, with the exception of its 70 percent owned Manh Choh mine in Alaska, US. The company began processing ore from Manh Choh at its Fort Knox operations through the Peak Gold joint venture in 2024.
The biggest contributor to Kinross’s output is its Tasiast mine in Western Mauritania, which produced 622,394 ounces (19.36 metric tons) of gold in 2024. Tasiast is currently an open-pit operation, and the company has been working to explore the underground potential of the mine at several key targets.
Among Kinross’ other assets, Paracatu stands out with its 528,574 ounces (16.44 metric tons) of gold production in 2024, making it the third largest gold mine in Brazil.

Investor Insight
With strategic, US-based assets, Trigg Minerals is well-positioned to become a cornerstone supplier of antimony and tungsten into the United States and allied markets. With a sharpened focus on critical minerals in Tier-1 jurisdictions, Trigg is executing a strategy that aligns with urgent national security and energy transition needs.
Overview
Trigg Minerals (ASX:TMG,OTCQB:TMGLF) is an emerging leader in the global critical minerals space, focused exclusively on the development of antimony and tungsten assets in the US – both metals designated as critical minerals by the United States, Canada, Australia and the European Union for its role in national defense, energy transition technologies, and advanced industrial applications.
Global supply of both antimony and tungsten is highly concentrated, with more than 80 percent controlled by China and Russia. Export restrictions, sanctions and the depletion of strategic stockpiles have created acute shortages, driving demand for alternative, conflict-free sources. This geopolitical backdrop creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity for new suppliers to anchor Western supply chains.
Trigg’s strategy is firmly focused on developing critical minerals projects in Tier-1 US jurisdictions, where stable regulatory frameworks, established infrastructure and strong government support provide a competitive advantage.
The company’s flagship Antimony Canyon project in Utah is one of the largest undeveloped antimony systems in the country, now secured through patented mining claims that streamline the pathway to production. Complementing this is the Tennessee Mountain tungsten project in Nevada, a historic tungsten district with confirmed high-grade mineralisation, and the newly acquired Central Idaho antimony project, which offers district-scale potential in a historically productive region.
By advancing this portfolio, Trigg aims to establish itself as a vertically integrated supplier, from mine development through to downstream smelting and refined metal production. With strong shareholder support, active engagement with US government and defence stakeholders, and membership in international industry associations, Trigg Minerals is positioned to play a leading role in rebuilding secure Western supply of antimony and tungsten.
Company Highlights
- ASX-listed explorer advancing critical mineral projects in the United States, with a focus on antimony and tungsten.
- Antimony Canyon Project (Utah) – flagship project with patented claims, high grades and a streamlined pathway to development.
- Tennessee Mountain Project (Nevada) – historic tungsten district with confirmed high-grade mineralisation.
- Central Idaho Antimony Project – district-scale landholding with grades up to 17.6 percent antimony.
- Optionality in Australia, including Wild Cattle Creek, one of the world’s highest-grade undeveloped antimony resources.
- Strong financial position and strategic investment support, including backing from Tribeca Investment Partners.
- Proposal to rebrand as American Antimony and Tungsten at the November 2025 AGM to reflect US focus.
Key Project
Antimony Canyon Project
Antimony Canyon, located in Utah, is Trigg’s flagship project and one of the largest undeveloped antimony systems in the United States. Historically mined during the 20th century but never subject to modern exploration, the district hosts multiple high-grade stibnite deposits. In 2025, Trigg consolidated control through the acquisition of 20 patented claims, giving the company full ownership of both surface and mineral rights. This control materially de-risks permitting by allowing the project to proceed under Utah’s streamlined Mined Land Reclamation Act, avoiding lengthy federal processes.
An exploration target of 6.1 to 6.9 million tonnes (Mt) at 1.4 to 2.3 per cent antimony, containing between 86,000 and 158,000 tonnes of antimony metal, has been established on these claims. Sampling programs have confirmed exceptional grades, including channel results up to 33.2 percent antimony. With no active US antimony production, Antimony Canyon offers a unique opportunity to establish domestic supply, with Trigg advancing studies for a pilot-scale mining operation and downstream smelting in partnership with Metso, leveraging Ausmelt technology for the production of refined antimony metal.
Tennessee Mountain Tungsten Project
In August 2025, Trigg expanded into tungsten through the acquisition of the Tennessee Mountain project in Nevada, another Tier-1 US jurisdiction. This historic mining district hosts the Garnet Mine and widespread skarn-hosted tungsten mineralisation. Historical trenching and drilling reported thick intersections of mineralised zones, including 24.9 metres at 0.65 percent tungsten trioxide and 10.67 metres at 0.98 percent tungsten trioxide. A non-JORC historical estimate of 0.71 Mt, grading 0.3 to 0.5 percent tungsten trioxide, underscores the scale and potential of the system. With tungsten also recognised as a critical mineral for defence and clean energy technologies, Tennessee Mountain provides diversification and growth within Trigg’s US portfolio.
Central Idaho Antimony Project
In September 2025, Trigg acquired the Central Idaho antimony project, located within the historically productive Swanholm Mining District. Early fieldwork has already confirmed very high-grade mineralisation, including assays up to 17.6 percent antimony from surface samples, with associated gold values. The project covers a district-scale landholding in an area geologically analogous to Perpetua Resources’ Stibnite gold project, which has received substantial US federal support. With minimal historic disturbance and no legacy tailings, the project offers a clean environmental baseline and a potentially straightforward permitting pathway.
Australian Projects
While Trigg’s near-term focus is firmly in the US, the company maintains optionality through its Australian portfolio. The Wild Cattle Creek deposit in New South Wales contains a JORC 2012 resource of 1.52 Mt at 1.97 percent antimony, representing ~30,000 tonnes of contained metal and ranking as one of the world’s highest-grade undeveloped antimony deposits. Additional Australian projects, including Taylors Arm, Spartan and Nundle, as well as the Drummond gold project in Queensland, provide longer-term exploration upside.
Management Team
Timothy Morrison – Executive Chairman
Tim Morrison is a highly experienced executive in the Australian resource and capital markets sector.
