The News

 The Milwaukee Bucks are trading Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards for Kyle Kuzma, CBS Sports NBA insider Bill Reiter confirmed Wednesday. In addition to Kuzma and Middleton, the deal -- which comes on the eve of the 2025 NBA trade deadline -- also includes AJ Johnson and a 2028 pick swap going to the Wizards. The Bucks will also receive Patrick Baldwin Jr. and a 2025 second-round pick. Notably, the Bucks already owed swap rights to the Portland Trail Blazers in 2028, meaning the Wizards will only be in line to swap their own pick with the less favorable of Milwaukee's and Portland's in 2028.

Notably, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks, Kuzma has agreed to reduced his trade bonus to help push this deal through for the Bucks. That matters because this deal saves the Bucks enough money to get under the second apron. Teams above the second apron cannot aggregate salaries in trades, meaning Milwaukee was limited in the sort of moves it could make to improve ahead of Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline. 

Now, however, the Bucks can aggregate salaries, and that therefore opens the door to a number of follow-up moves. The likeliest course for them now would be to attempt to aggregate the salaries of Pat Connaughton and Bobby Portis, who make around $22 million combined, to trade for another significant piece. They still have their 2031 first-round pick at their disposal to entice sellers as well.

Middleton, who was tied with Giannis Antetokounmpo for the title of longest-tenured Buck, joined the team in July of 2013 as a low-profile addition to the Brandon Jennings for Brandon Knight trade. He proceeded to become one of the greatest players in franchise history, reaching three All-Star games and helping Milwaukee win the 2021 championship.

Ever since then, though, Middleton has struggled to stay on the court because of a series of injuries. When the Bucks were trying to defend their title in 2022, Middleton got hurt in the first round of the playoffs and subsequently missed their second-round loss to the Boston Celtics. He played 33 games in the 2022-23 season, 55 a year later, and thus far this season has been limited to just 23 appearances at an average of 23.2 minutes per game. The Bucks have seemingly decided that they can't rely on a healthy Middleton in the postseason and have elected to pivot.

They spent the deadline period in search of a major addition using Middleton's salary. They had been linked to Zach LaVine before his trade to Sacramento, but matching money on his max contract would have been difficult. Instead, they land the cheaper Kuzma to fill their hole at forward.

This season, however, he has struggled on just about every front. He is shooting just 28.1% on 3-pointers and 49.5% on 2s for a Wizards team that is in line to finish the season with the league's worst record. Last season, the Wizards reportedly approached him about a possible trade to the Dallas Mavericks, but he elected to remain in Washington. This season, though, he has seemingly changed his tune and chosen to accept a deal to a playoff team in Milwaukee.

This deal represents a meaningful risk for the Bucks. Even if Middleton's health has been a problem, he is a former All-Star. Kuzma is not, and his struggles this season surely impacted his market. But Milwaukee seemingly believes it can get the version of him that helped the Lakers win a championship in the bubble, and if it does, this has a chance to be a very helpful trade for them.

 The film stars Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us”) as Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby (“Napoleon”) as the Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (“Stranger Things) as the Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Bear”) as the Thing. The cast also includes Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne and John Malkovich.

This version of the Fantastic Four will take place in a retro-futuristic 1960s Manhattan. Feige confirmed on “The Official Marvel Podcast” that the film will be a period piece set in New York City, although he said that it may not be the same New York City fans are familiar with in the MCU.

Two previous iterations of the Fantastic Four hit the big screen through 20th Century Fox before Disney acquired the company and worked toward bringing Marvel’s First Family to the MCU. In the 2000s, Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis played the heroes in two movies, then a disastrous 2015 reboot brought in Miles Teller, Kata Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell. Through a clever cameo role in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Evans, now better known as the MCU’s Captain America, reprised his Human Torch role before being brutally killed off. In “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” John Krasinski briefly appeared as Mister Fantastic before meeting a similar fate.

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” is directed by Matt Shakman (“WandaVision”) and written by a Peter Cameron, Josh Friedman and Jeff Kaplan. Kevin Feige will serve as producer, Jess Hall is the cinematographer and Michael Giacchino composes the score.

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” will be released in theaters on July 25.

 While you still can't download TikTok from either Apple's App Store or Google's Play mobile storefront, President Donald Trump wants to make sure the American government can profit from it whenever the app returns.

To do so, Trump signed an executive order creating the U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund. But could Trump also use it to purchase the banned social media platform? Here's what we know.

What is the sovereign wealth fund?

Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this week establishing the first-ever federal sovereign wealth fund.

A sovereign wealth fund is a government-owned fund that includes investments in foreign assets, typically stocks, bonds, real estate and technology.

Could the federal government use the sovereign wealth fund to buy TikTok?

In the case of TikTok, the U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund could be used to purchase the American assets of TikTok from the platform's Chinese parent company, ByteDance.

Donald Trump didn't explicitly say the fund would be used to purchase TikTok, but did hint that a development was in the works regarding the sale of the social media app.

TikTok still unavailable; no timetable on return

On his first day back in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that postponed the ban on TikTok, which was implemented by former President Joe Biden last year.

Trump's order granted a 75-day extension, but on January 18, TikTok went dark, becoming unusable on mobile devices and desktops.

The platform was also wiped from American mobile app stores.

TikTok was restored the next day for users who didn’t delete the app. But if you have already deleted the app from your phone, you will not have the option to restore it while the ban is in effect.

 Businesses across the country, including in Oklahoma, will shut their doors Monday as part of a national movement.

The social media-driven campaign "A Day Without Immigrants" calls on immigrants to stay home from work, not take their children to school, and encourages businesses to close and people to refrain from shopping on Monday, Feb. 3.

The planned protest comes amid reported U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids across the country, which has raised fear among immigrant families. The first 'Day Without Immigrants' was held in February 2017, in protest of President Donald Trump's immigration plans during his first term, according to the LA Times.

Many businesses nationwide have reportedly closed in solidarity with the movement from coast to coast, including Washington DC, Minnesota, San Francisco and more.

In Oklahoma City, several restaurants have announced closures in solidarity, including restaurants owned by Good Egg Dining.

"Our industry, our restaurants, and our communities are built on the hard work, passion, and dedication of immigrants. They are the backbone of our kitchens, our service, and our culture. Today, we stand with them," reads a social media post shared by the group's restaurants.

Here's what to know about who is closed in OKC today:

What is 'A Day Without Immigrants'?

In 2017, demonstrators in Washington, D.C. protested and boycott businesses to show the economic impact that the immigrant community generates throughout the country. Some other participating cities included, Atlanta, Dallas, Nashville and more.

What locations are closed for A Day Without Immigrants?

Oklahoma City is seeing a few locally-run businesses close their doors on Monday, Feb. 3. Some of these businesses include:

• Barrios

• Cafe Kacao

• Cheever's Cafe

• Iron Star

• Kitchen No. 324

• Mexican Radio

• Red Primesteak

• Republic Gastropub

• Tucker's Onion Burgers

• Bianca Censori, Kanye West's partner, went almost fully nude while walking the 2025 Grammys red carpet.

• Censori, 30, has been romantically linked to the controversial rapper, 47, since January 2023.

• She is an architectural designer at Yeezy, per a LinkedIn profile matching her description.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is no stranger to making headlines, but his partner Bianca Censori may have outshone him this time.

On Sunday, the rapper, 47, hit the 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet clad in a black shirt and pants, while Censori, 30, wore a black fur coat that she removed to reveal a virtually transparent mini dress underneath.

Censori has been spotted wearing sheer outfits in public multiple times before.

In March, she pulled up to a drive-thru with Ye in a super sheer black bodysuit. A month later, in April, she went to dinner with him in Los Angeles in a completely see-through tube dress and hot pink stockings. In December, she was also seen strolling around Art Basel Miami in a similarly racy nude bodysuit that left little to the imagination.

In January 2023, TMZ reported that the pair had symbolically wed without a marriage certificate in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills. Earlier in the month, they were spotted sharing a meal at the Waldorf Astoria, and Ye was wearing a new ring on his left-hand ring finger in photos taken by TMZ that day.

This came just two months after West finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian.

Censori and Ye have yet to publicly confirm their marriage, but the rapper did refer to her as a "stepmom" to his children in a since-deleted birthday tribute post on Instagram in January 2024, per People.

Before news of their relationship broke, Censori hadn't been in the spotlight in the same way as Ye's more high-profile exes, like Kardashian and Julia Fox.

Here's everything you need to know about Censori and her connection to Ye.

Censori is an architectural designer at Yeezy

According to Censori's LinkedIn account, she began working as an architectural designer at Yeezy in November 2020 and has been working full-time at the company.

Before that, she worked as a student architect and design consultant at DP Toscano Architects, an architectural firm in Collingwood, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.

Censori was also part of the architectural team involved in renovating Ye's Tadao Ando-designed beachfront property in Malibu, per The New Yorker. The rapper paid $57 million for the concrete home in 2011, gutted it, and sold it at a loss for $21 million in 2024.

She previously ran a jewelry brand called Nylons

Censori started Nylons, a jewelry company, just after she finished high school, she told i-D in 2016. "I started playing around with mesh, then putting crystals inside the meshing, just making really simple thin chokers," she said.
