Príncipe Harry Da cautelosas respuestas sobre el diagnóstico del rey Carlos
El Príncipe Harry fue consultado por su padre el Rey Carlos y su reciente diagnóstico de cáncer, y aunque dejó claro que ama a su familia, se puede decir que estaba en guardia.
El duque de Sussex habló con "GMA" para una entrevista que se emitió el jueves. La conversación fue filmada en Whistler, Canadá, donde se realizarán los próximos Invictus, Games, no mucho después de que volara de Londres para visitar a su padre, y Harry dio una idea de la relación que tiene con su padre.
Dijo que estaba contento de haber podido visitar al Rey, que era importante hacerlo para él después de enterarse de su cáncer, algo que el Príncipe Harry escuchó de primera mano.
También dijo explícitamente que ama a su familia, pero cuando lo presionaron un poco más sobre las perspectivas de salud de su padre se quedó callado y le dijo al periodista que no era asunto suyo.
Sobre la posibilidad de arreglar las cosas con el rey Carlos ahora que sabe que tiene cáncer, Harry dice que está absolutamente en las estrellas. Pero por la forma en que responde, se puede decir que estaba un poco ofendido por la pregunta. En su mente, es casi como si estuviera pensando, por supuesto que estamos bien.
No hace falta decirlo, la relación de Harry con la realeza se ha visto fracturada, por no decir completamente desgarrada en los últimos años, pero aquí está sugiriendo que la familia es primero y no importa lo que haya pasado entre ellos. Él los amará pase lo que pase.
También habla de cómo está procesando que estén pasando tantas cosas al otro lado del charco y aquí en California, a lo que Harry respondió que tiene su propia familia ahora.
Esencialmente, su punto es que ama a su familia en Reino Unido, va a verlos cuando puede, pero no va a dejar a su familia por los problemas que estén ocurriendo allá.
Ahora, aunque esta charla sobre el rey Carlos sin duda era seria, y Harry tuvo una actitud algo fría, su tiempo en Canadá no fue del todo pesimista. De hecho, lo pasó súper bien en la nieve con nada menos que Meghan Markle.
Por ejemplo, montó un trineo por una pista de hielo como un profesional, demostrando que dominaba el trineo y todo. Honestamente es bastante surrealista.
Incluso viendo esto, se entiende lo que Harry quiere decir cuando dice que va a vivir su vida y que no se va a paralizar por una noticia tan pesada de la familia real.
En conclusión, es capaz de separar las cosas y hasta ahora lo está haciendo bastante bien.
Carlos, por su parte, parece estar tomando su diagnóstico de cáncer con calma. Ha sido fotografiado en público desde que lanzó la bomba. De quien no hay rastro es de Kate Middleton, quien sigue recuperándose de sus propios problemas de salud.
Prince Harry Cagey Answers on Charles' Diagnosis 'Stays Between Me & Him'
Prince Harry was asked about his father, King Charles, and his recent cancer diagnosis -- and while he made clear he loves his family ... you can tell his guard is still up.
The Duke of Sussex spoke with 'GMA' in an interview that aired Thursday -- a convo that was filmed in Whistler, BC at the site of his upcoming Invictus Games, not long after he flew back from London upon visiting his dad -- and Harry gave some insight into the relationship.
He says he was happy he was able to go see the King, and also noted it was important for him to do so after learning about his cancer ... something PH says he heard first-hand.
Harry also says explicitly here that he loves his family -- but when he's pressed further on how the outlook of his father's health ... he clams up, telling the journo it's none of his business.
On the prospect of mending fences with Charles now that he knows he has cancer -- Harry says that's absolutely in the stars ... but from the way he responds, you can tell he's a little offended by the question. In his mind, it's almost as if he's thinking ... of course we're good.
It goes without saying ... Harry's relationship with the Royals has appeared fractured -- if not completely torn apart in recent years -- but here ... he's suggesting family comes first, no matter what's gone on between them, and that he'll have love for them no matter what.
He also talks about how he's processing the fact there's so much going on across the pond as he's here in California ... and Harry has a bristly reaction, saying he has his own family now.
Essentially, his point is ... I love my UK family, I'll see them when I can, but I'm not gonna shut down my life over problems they're going through -- that's sorta the takeaway.
Now, while this chat about Charles was most certainly serious -- and, admittedly, a little icy on Harry's part -- his time in Canada wasn't all doom and gloom ... in fact, there was a lot of fun he was having out there in the snow, alongside none other than Meghan Markle.
Take this bobsled run he went on, for example, where PH shot down an icy runway ... and he looked a bit like a pro, good form on the sled and all. Honestly, it's pretty surreal.
Even from this alone, you can see what Harry means when he says he's going to live his life -- and not necessarily be paralyzed by such heavy news coming from the Royal family.
Long story short ... he's able to compartmentalize, and so far -- he's doing it quite well.
Charles, meanwhile, seems to be taking his cancer diagnosis in stride -- he's been pictured out in public since the bombshell dropped. Still no sign of Kate Middleton, though, as she continues to recover from her own health issues.

'Outer Banks' Star Austin North Arrested in Vegas ... Allegedly Attacked ER Hospital Staff

Exclusive

update
6:26 PM PT -- Austin North just addressed the situation online, and he says he was having a very severe panic attack where he thought he might die ... adding he doesn't remember much of the incident at all.
AN posted a lengthy description of what he says happened that day -- noting he's been dealing with this condition for a long time, and that the attack he endured Tuesday was by far the worst he's ever experienced. He apologizes to the hospital staff, and says he hopes to shed more light on his condition as time goes on.
Austin North went haywire at a hospital in Vegas this week -- attacking several emergency room staffers and needing to be restrained ... so claim cops, anyway.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, officers were dispatched to UMC Hospital Tuesday night for reports of an assault and battery that had occurred in the ER ... and when they arrived, cops say they interviewed the alleged victims.
According to a couple nurses and a phlebotomist -- who claim to have been struck by Austin in a bum-rush they say came out of nowhere -- the actor was throwing fists and shoving all three of them in succession ... for no apparent reason whatsoever.
He's alleged to have punched a nurse in the head, shoved the face of another nurse and pushed the phlebotomist into a table -- only for the latter alleged victim to use a tray nearby to smack him in the head in self-defense.
At this point, cops say Austin was restrained by security officers ... but he's alleged to have attacked one last person -- although it's not clear from the report what her job was.
In any case, they finally cuffed him to a gurney there in the hospital. The cops who arrived to deal with this say they read Austin his Miranda rights when they told him they were arresting him for battery, and when asked if he understood ... they claim he said "yes."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
He was hauled off to jail, where he was booked for gross misdemeanor battery ... and posed for this mug shot. Austin has since bonded out. The one thing that isn't addressed in this whole narrative is ... what the hell was he doing in the ER in the first place???
That remains to be seen ... but it's a very bizarre hole in the story. Interestingly enough, Austin was kinda documenting his weekend in Vegas -- the dude has a whole compilation up on his social media page that shows off everything he was up to ... and it looks like a lot.
We've reached out to his team for comment ... so far, no word back.

Eleven kids between the ages of 6 years old and 15 years old suffered wounds during Wednesday afternoon's shooting at the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade, officials say.
Lisa Augustine, a spokesperson for Children’s Mercy Kansas City, said in a statement to TMZ Sports the hospital treated 12 patients after at least one gunman opened fire at Union Station following the championship festivities in K.C. -- and of those dozen, 11 were children.
Augustine added that nine of the 12 sustained gunshot wounds.
Thankfully, the hospital rep said, "All are expected to recover."
So far, law enforcement says 22 people in total were struck by gunfire just minutes after Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had addressed the massive crowd that had gathered to celebrate their recent victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
At least one person, authorities said, died in the shooting.
Cops say three people have been detained in connection with the attack ... although no motive has been revealed. An investigation remains ongoing.
The Chiefs said in a statement they're "truly saddened by the senseless act of violence that occurred outside of Union Station at the conclusion of today's parade and rally."
"Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all of Kansas City," they added.
Mahomes and Kelce, meanwhile, also sent out prayers to the victims on their X pages following the tragedy.

Un carro se estrella contra una sala de urgencias Y el conductor muere
Un carro chocó contra una sala de urgencias en Austin, Texas, esta semana y el video de las consecuencias es absolutamente horrible.
Este accidente ocurrió el martes por la noche en St. Davis's North Austin Medical Center, donde un vehículo literalmente embistió contra la entrada de la sala de emergencias, donde terminó hiriendo a un puñado de personas, entre ellas algunos niños.
Las imágenes que se ven aquí comenzó a rodar momentos después de que el coche vino volando a través de la parte delantera del edificio ... y como se puede oír, los neumáticos seguía chirriando - lo que sugiere que alguien tenía el pie en el pedal del acelerador, incluso después de hacer contacto.
La gente estaba luchando en medio del caos y algunos incluso tuvieron que ser levantados y cargados en brazos mientras las enfermeras y médicos salieron tratando de darle sentido a lo que había sucedido.
No está claro qué es exactamente lo que causó esto, pero lo que sí sabemos con certeza es que el conductor terminó muriendo justo después de recibir primeros auxilios. A primera vista, parece que pudo haber sufrido una emergencia médica y perdió el control del carro.
Los policías señalaron que el accidente no parecía ser intencional... vale la pena aclararlo porque algunos pensaban que podría ser incluso un ataque terrorista. Por suerte, no fue el caso.
Afortunadamente, nadie en el hospital murió, pero hubo muchos heridos. Cinco víctimas fueron trasladadas a otros hospitales con diversos grados de lesiones, incluyendo un niño que fue catalogado como en estado crítico.
Se informa que el pequeño sufrió lesiones que tienen su vida en riersgo, y las lesiones de un adulto nos informan que son potencialmente mortales.
Austin, TX Car Slams Into Emergency Room Driver Dies, Not Intentional
A car rammed into an emergency room in Austin, TX, this week -- and the video of the immediate aftermath is absolutely horrifying.
This accident happened on Tuesday night at St. David's North Austin Medical Center -- where a vehicle literally rammed into the entrance of the ER there ... which ended up injuring a handful of people, including some kids.
The footage you see here starts just moments after the car came flying through the front of the building ... and as you can hear, the tires were still screeching -- suggesting someone had their foot on the gas pedal even after the impact.
People were scrambling in the chaos ... and some even had to be lifted and carried away as nurses and doctors poured out trying to make sense of what had happened.
At this point, it's unclear what exactly caused this, but what we do know for sure is that the driver died ... this after requiring CPR on the scene.
Cops noted the crash did not appear to be intentional, which some thought might've been the case ... there were immediate concerns it was some sort of terror attack. Luckily, this wasn't that.
Thankfully, no one in the hospital was killed, but there were serious injuries. Five victims were taken to other hospitals for treatment ...and one of them is a child listed in critical condition.
The kid's injuries are reportedly life-threatening, while one adult suffered potentially life-threatening injury.

Southwest Flight Fight Passenger Pummels Man ... Crew Saves The Day
Two passengers went toe-to-toe on a mid-air flight, with one pummeling the other as the crew finally stepped in to break up the confrontation.
The violence erupted Monday on a Southwest commercial jet heading from Oakland to Hawaii. As soon as the fists started flying the camera started rolling.
Check out this video posted by a witness to Instagram … both men were arguing over some nonsense when one of them turned into Floyd Mayweather, connecting with a series of punches to the other dude’s face.
Fellow passengers and flight attendants quickly jumped in, pulling the two guys apart. When the plane landed on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, the troublemakers were detained by local authorities, but it was unclear if they were arrested or charged. As for any injuries, the guy whose head was used as a punching bag looked okay ... or seemed so anyway.

Pelea en Southwest Un pasajero lanza un puñetazo a un hombre... La tripulación salva el vuelo
Dos pasajeros se enredaron en una pelea en pleno vuelo, con un hombre lanzando un puñetazo a otro mientras la tripulación intervenía para intentar poner fin al enfrentamiento.
La violencia estalló el lunes en un avión comercial de Southwest que se dirigía de Oakland a Hawai, y tan pronto como los puños comenzaron a volar, la cámara comenzó a rodar.
Echa un vistazo a este video publicado por un testigo en Instagram donde se ve a los dos hombres discutiendo por una tontería hasta que uno de ellos decidió convertirse en Floyd Mayweather y lanzar una serie de puñetazos en la cara del otro tipo.
Rápidamente, los pasajeros y auxiliares de vuelo intervinieron para separar a los dos tipos. Cuando el avión aterrizó en la isla de Kauai, los alborotadores fueron detenidos por las autoridades locales, pero no quedó claro si fueron arrestados o acusados. En cuanto a las lesiones, el tipo que recibió la mayoría de los golpes parecía estar bien... o eso parecía.

O.J. Simpson Reportedly Has Prostate Cancer ... Undergoing Chemotherapy

Breaking News

O.J. Simpson is reportedly battling cancer -- but the man himself is somewhat pushing back that he's in poor health ... although, not necessarily denying the notion that he's been diagnosed.
The notorious ex-con -- who was famously acquitted in his double murder trial in the '90s, and who has maintained his innocence -- was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer ... according to Local 10 News.
The publication cites sources for their reporting ... and they go on to say O.J. has been receiving chemotherapy in the area. Unclear when exactly he was given the bad news.
One other bizarre element about this report is that Local 10 News says they're hearing O.J. has been going around and telling friends there are rumors about him going into hospice ... something he's apparently been denying to his closest pals.
Welp, O.J. doubled down on that denial Friday on the heels of this report coming out -- and while he is denying any notion of him being in hospice ... nobody seems to be claiming that.
Again, O.J.'s not saying he doesn't have cancer ... but he is trying to make it seem like everything is just fine and dandy in his world -- and that his focus is on the Super Bowl.
Here's the weird thing about all this ... O.J. appears to have already acknowledged that he has cancer and that he had done chemo. A video he posted in May 2023 -- where he rambles -- briefly touches on the fact that he "caught cancer," without specifying what type -- but in the clip, he also suggested he'd beaten it and that he was doing just fine now.

The ex-RB talked about dropping weight during chemo and how weed helped him get his appetite back -- but this video seems to have completely flown under the radar at the time.
O.J. doesn't have a clear history of health issues -- aside from arthritis and flare-ups of old injuries -- but he has appeared to look somewhat frail in recent years as he goes around town.

Pink Una fan se pone de parto en un concierto... Y ella detiene el show!!!
Un nuevo espectáculo se desarrolló en el concierto de Pink en Sydney, pues una fan entró en pleno trabajo de parto y todo el asunto ha sido capturado en video.
La cantante hizo una pausa en su concierto en el Allianz Stadium en la mitad de la canción "Our Song", luego de darse cuenta de que los organizadores le estaban haciendo señas de que una fan embarazada había sido llevada en silla de ruedas por un médico.
Pink se refirió a la situación, preguntando divertidamente a la multitud si "Alecia o Alex, ¿está naciendo en este momento?", en referencia a su verdadero nombre Alecia Beth Moore.
Su comedia no terminó ahí. Bromeó diciendo que no creía que todos debiesen estar mirándola y que necesitaba un poco de intimidad.
Pero ella estaba realmente interesada, pues le preguntó a la multitud si realmente había dado a luz, a pesar de saber que no, y además ofreció una sincera felicitación.
Ahora Pink expresó su sorpresa de que su emotiva canción "Our Tune" fuera la que aparentemente indujo el parto, bromeando que ella habría pensado que sería con "Get the Party Started" o "Never Gonna Not Dance Again".
Después de desearle buena suerte a la futura madre, Pink continuó con el concierto, el primero de la etapa australiana de su gira "Summer Carnival".
Una cosa es segura sobre los conciertos de Pink y es que los fans siempre van a hacer que sea un momento salvaje, loco y sorprendente, como cuando un fan arrojó las cenizas de su madre en el escenario durante uno de sus conciertos el año pasado.
Mmm, ¿gracias?
PINK FAN GOES INTO LABOR IN MOSH PIT ... Singer Stops Concert!!
A whole new performance unfolded at Pink's Sydney concert ... with a woman going into labor in the middle of the mosh pit -- and the whole thing has been captured on camera.
The singer called pause at her Allianz Stadium gig halfway through singing "Our Song" ... with the footage picking up after she realizes concertgoers signaling to her that the pregnant fan was wheeled away by a medic.
Pink made light of the situation ... hilariously asking the crowd if "Alecia or Alex is being born right now?" -- in reference to her real birth name, Alecia Beth Moore.
Her comedic delivery didn't end there ... she joked she didn't feel like everyone should be looking at the woman ... and that she needed some privacy.
But her interest was well and truly piqued ... she asked the crowd if she'd actually given birth ... and despite learning that she hadn't yet, she still offered her a heartfelt congratulations.
Now, Pink did express shock that her highly emotional tune "Our Tune" was the one to apparently induce labor ... quipping, "I thought it would've been 'Get the Party Started' or 'Never Gonna Not Dance Again."
After wishing the mother-to-be good luck, Pink carried on with the concert -- the first in the Aussie leg of her 'Summer Carnival' stadium tour.
One thing for sure about Pink's gigs is that fans are always gonna make it a wild, wacky, and surprising time -- for instance, a fan tossed her mother's ashes on stage during one of her gigs last year.
Ermm, thanks?!

La Roca Le da una cachetada a Cody Rhodes en la conferencia WM40 ... Se une al combate con Roman Reigns
El kickoff de WrestleMania de la WWE fue una locura, con la Roca dándole una cachetada a Cody Rhodes en la cara en una salvaje confrontación sobre el escenario.
El incidente tuvo lugar en Las Vegas el jueves, en donde Roman Reigns se dirigió a la multitud y anunció que se enfrentará a Dwayne Johnson en Filadelfia, afirmando que es su decisión y que no hay nada que Cody pueda hacer al respecto.
En ese momento apareció La Roca y tomó el micrófono, diciendo que sin importar lo que la gente piense, ellos respetarán el combate, ya que la Roca y Roman provienen de The Bloodline, las familias samoanas con la historia más rica dentro de la lucha libre.
Todo parecía escrito en piedra mientras se daban la mano, pero Cody no estaba de acuerdo. Subió al escenario y llamó "bulls***" a todo el asunto, ya que él ganó el Royal Rumble y se ganó el derecho a entrar en el ring con Roman.
Los chicos intercambiaron desagradables insultos sobre las familias de cada uno y cuando Cody les dijo que los abuelos de Roman y Rock estarían avergonzados de ver en qué se han convertido, el Campeón del Pueblo perdió la cabeza y golpeó a Rhodes en la boca.
Todas las partes fueron separadas y escoltadas fuera del escenario, pero esto no se detuvo allí, ya que un furioso la Roca se enfrentó al jefe de contenido de la WWE Triple H después, diciéndole que hiciera algo sobre la falta de respeto de Rhodes o lo manejaría él mismo.

Después de que todo se calmó, la WWE aparentemente se puso del lado de Rhodes, revelando que Cody obtendrá su deseo y se enfrentará a Roman en WrestleMania 40.

Transgender Woman Sued Ex-BF Over Tossed-Out Balls ... But Judge Says, No Case!!!
A transgender woman who sued her ex-boyfriend for throwing out her balls apparently didn't have a case worth litigating ... 'cause a judge tossed her suit, not to mention the BF's.
Brianna Kingsley had recently filed a lawsuit against William Wojciechowski in Detroit -- whom she was dating a couple years ago as she was transitioning ... and who she claims discarded her surgically-removed testicles in the wake of their breakup.
At first, Kingsley was suing Bill for allegedly not returning her balls to her -- claiming in her small claims suit that he was holding them hostage, and keeping them in a mason jar in his fridge next to a carton of eggs. However, after she sued him ... her ex countersued her, claiming she'd humiliated him and also noting that he'd already thrown the testicles away.
It was a lot of back and forth for a while ... and the absurd case was highlighted by a quote Kinglsey had said in court at one point -- saying, "We’re talking about my nuts … I wanted them in my fridge -- not his. The damages were the loss of these nuts."
Kingsley was seeking the return of her testes -- even though they'd already been thrown out -- plus an extra $6,500 in damages. The boyfriend was also seeking damages for his claim.
In the end ... hizzoner said the whole thing was ridiculous and not worth taking under further consideration -- in fact, he called their competing lawsuits against each other a "wash," and added that it would've been too difficult to put a dollar amount on balls.
Judge rules 'it's a wash' in Pontiac court battle over transgender woman's testicles https://t.co/BuALtb2HPK
— The Detroit News (@detroitnews) February 7, 2024 @detroitnews
The judge tossed both lawsuits and basically closed the book on this matter. He also noted his decision could not be appealed -- so no chance of either of them continuing to fight it.
BTW, Kingsley seemed proud to show off her balls a couple years ago after she underwent gender-reassignment surgery -- so we suppose it's understandable they were of value to her.
Unfortunately, this case ended up being a little too nuts for small claims court. Dismissed!

The Rock Slaps Cody Rhodes At WM40 Kickoff ... Joins Bloodline With Roman Reigns
WWE's WrestleMania Kickoff was nothing short of bonkers ... with The Rock straight-up slapping Cody Rhodes in the face in a wild on-stage confrontation!!
The whole event went down in Las Vegas on Thursday ... with Roman Reigns addressing the crowd and announcing he will face off against Dwayne Johnson in Philadelphia -- claiming it's his decision and there's nothing Cody can do about it.
Rock then showed up and hopped on the mic ... saying no matter what people think of the controversial matchup, they WILL respect it -- as Rock and Roman come from The Bloodline, the Samoan families with the richest history in professional wrestling.
Everything seemed set in stone as both guys shook hands -- but Cody wasn't having it ... taking the stage and calling the whole thing "bulls***," as he won the Royal Rumble and earned the right to enter the squared circle with Roman.
The guys traded nasty insults about each other's families ... and when Cody said Roman and Rock's grandparents would be ashamed of what they have become, The People's Champ lost it -- rocking Rhodes right in the mouth.
All sides needed to be separated and escorted off the stage ... but it didn't stop there, as a livid Rock confronted WWE chief content officer Triple H afterward, telling him to do something about Rhodes' disrespect -- or he'd handle it himself.

SURGICAL ROBOT BURNED FATAL HOLE IN FLORIDA WOMAN ... According to Lawsuit
A surgical robot burned a hole in a Florida woman's small intestine during surgery, injuring her and eventually causing her death -- this according new lawsuit filed by her husband.
According to the legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Boca Raton native Sandra Sultzer passed away at the age of 78 in 2022 following a procedure to treat her colon cancer ... which was performed using a 'da Vinci' robot -- a 4-armed machine activated by a doctor operating a camera and a surgeon steering the robot's arms using a joystick and foot pedals.
Sultzer's husband claims the robot is designed to cut incisions as small as the size of a dime ... and the precise movements are supposed to minimize blood loss and trauma to the body from larger cuts made during traditional surgical procedures.
The suit alleges some of the rubber sleeves around the arms had cracks which allowed electrical currents to escape ... and the stray energy essentially burned Sandra's body tissues during her September 2021 procedure.
Her husband claims the burning of her internal organs happened without the surgical team even fully knowing what was happening at the time.
The lawsuit alleges that Intuitive Surgical Inc. -- the company that makes the da Vinci robot -- failed to adequately warn of these risks ... claiming it should have known of the risks from "thousands of injury and defect reports" about the device.
He also claims the product was not designed in a safe way or tested enough to avoid the burn risks.
Sultzer's husband is seeking unspecified damages, including punitives.

NBA's Haywood Highsmith Issued Careless Driving Citation ... After Man Suffers Partial Amputation In Crash

Cops issued Miami Heat forward Haywood Highsmith a citation for careless driving on Tuesday ... after they say he caused an accident that resulted in a man suffering a partial amputation of his leg as well as other broken bones.
According to a crash report, obtained by TMZ Sports, the gruesome wreck happened at around 11:20 PM -- just minutes after Highsmith and the Heat beat the Orlando Magic at the Kesaya Center in Miami.
Cops state in the documents that Highsmith was going an estimated 45 MPH in a 40 MPH zone ... when he slammed into the back of a pedestrian who appeared to be pushing a broken-down car in the middle of a roadway.
The docs state Highsmith told officers that the disabled vehicle did not have its lights on ... and he couldn't stop his ride in time when he came across it in the street.
Cops wrote in the docs the pedestrian lost part of his right leg in the accident and sustained a compound fracture to his left leg as well. They also say the man suffered a possible broken left arm.
Police added the man was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition.
The crash report states drugs and alcohol were not involved ... though officers did write in the docs that Highsmith may have been distracted by unknown circumstances.
Highsmith logged three minutes of playing in the Heat's 121-95 win earlier in the night. He did not play Wednesday, though -- as the team announced he was sitting out of their game against San Antonio due to "personal reasons."
Highsmith has yet to comment on the matter. The Heat, meanwhile, said in a statement, "Our hearts go out to those who were injured."
