Reports: Mikal Bridges agrees to 4-year, $150 million extension with Knicks
August 1 - Fresh off playing an integral role in the New York Knicks reaching their first Eastern Conference finals appearance in 25 years, forward Mikal Bridges agreed to a four-year, $150 million contract with the team on Thursday, according to multiple media reports. The deal reportedly includes a player option for 2029-30 and a trade kicker, making Bridges, 28, ineligible to be traded for six months after the signing extension. His previous deal was set to expire following the 2025-26 season. The new contract is reportedly a slight discount from his potential max extension of $156 million. By agreeing to a reduced salary, though, the Knicks gain more flexibility to continue building out the roster and potentially make another deep playoff run. New York acquired Bridges last summer as part of a massive trade that included sending four unprotected first-round picks and one protected first-rounder to the Brooklyn Nets. In 82 regular-season games last season for the Knicks, all starts, Bridges averaged 17.6 points on 50 percent shooting from the floor, including a 35.4 percent clip from 3-point range. During the playoffs, Bridges contributed 15.6 points on 45.6 percent shooting as well as 1.7 steals per game. He has averaged 14.8 points during his seven-year career that includes stops with Phoenix (2018-23), Brooklyn (2022-24) and New York. --Field Level Media

The 5 Most Expensive States for Car Insurance in 2025
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. How national trends are shaping state-by-state premiums The cost of car insurance rose 42% from $1,633 to $2,313 between 2022 and 2024, and drivers can expect more increases during 2025. Insurify projected that U.S. drivers would incur an overall average car insurance premium increase of 5% (to $2,435), with some states worse off than others. Florida and New York are anticipated to see the highest rise of 10%. Georgia and Nevada follow with an 8% forecasted increase, while Delaware may see a 7% hike. Maryland drivers currently pay the highest average full-coverage premium of $4,060. Last year, Maryland auto insurance costs went up by 53%, with a recent surge in stolen vehicle claims possibly contributing. Maryland experienced a 63% increase in car thefts from 2022 to 2023. Other factors contributing to Maryland's steep auto insurance costs include the state requiring providers to supply enhanced underinsured motorist coverage, or more thorough protection if a driver is injured by another motorist with insurance that's unable to cover all damages. State Farm — Source: Getty New York has the second-highest car insurance costs in 2025, averaging $3,804. While New York's premiums are expected to rise this year, they may decrease after the 2024 Auto Insurance Consumer Relief Act waived a prior requirement forcing insurers to revoke coverage for drivers who didn't meet the 14-day requirement to submit vehicle photos after purchasing a new full-coverage policy. Fewer drivers getting their insurance revoked naturally decreases the amount of uninsured motorists on roads, one of the most significant factors impacting premiums. Washington, D.C., comes in third place in 2025 with an average annual amount of $3,399. A high population density and a vehicle theft rate three times the national average contribute to Washington, D.C.'s rank. The district's car theft rate increased by 64% in 2023. South Carolina follows Washington D.C. with an average annual full coverage cost of $3,393. This figure is influenced by the state having the highest number of traffic fatalities per mile traveled of 1.85 per 100 million miles, well above the national average of 1.33, along with more frequent and intense destructive weather. Florida's fifth-place spot translates to a $3,166 average annual premium stemming from cascading effects of the state's struggling home insurance market and providers needing to pay personal injury protection claims regardless of who's at fault for an accident. The impact of EVs and tariffs on car insurance Electric vehicle (EV) drivers won't like hearing how insurance for nine popular models rose by 28% in 2024, twice the rate of comparable gas-powered cars. EVs are now 23% more expensive to insure than their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts at $3,430 annually. Additionally, tariffs on imports of vehicles and parts have the potential to increase auto insurance premiums since they affect car values and repair costs, two foundational elements determining customer payouts. However, the American Property Casualty Insurance Association predicts that consumers won't notice a difference in coverage costs in 2025. More specifically, the association expects that tariffs won't impact insurance until at least 12-18 months after President Trump authorized them in March, AP reports.

A roadside warning triangle marking a car accident — Source: Getty Final thoughts Varying auto insurance costs in different states show how factors like legislation, crime rates, weather, population density, and more can affect what drivers pay. Additionally, EVs generally cost more to insure, and while rate increases are expected to slow this year, tariff ripple effects could cause faster premium hikes during 2026, 2027, and 2028. Still, auto insurers' investments in AI could improve accuracy and loss severity to mitigate these possible expenses. About the Author Cody Carlson View Profile

Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio sells remaining stake in hedge fund, letter says
NEW YORK, July 31 (Reuters) - Investor Ray Dalio sold his remaining stake in Bridgewater Associates, the hedge fund he founded 50 years ago, according to a letter sent to investors, while Brunei's sovereign fund acquired a minority stake in the firm, a source said. "We wanted to update you that Bridgewater recently repurchased the last remaining ownership shares held by Dalio-related entities," Bridgewater CEO Nir Bar Dea and Co-Chair Mike McGavick said in a July 21 letter to clients seen by Reuters. The transaction marks years-long transition at the world's largest hedge fund, with $92.1 billion in assets under management. Dalio, 76, resigned from his CEO position in 2017 and handed over control of Bridgewater to a new generation of investors in 2022. Dalio said in a social media post on Thursday that he was thrilled to be passing along Bridgewater to the next generation. "Above all else, I am thrilled about it because I love seeing Bridgewater alive and well without me—even better than alive and well with me," he said. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not public, said Dalio will step down as a board member as well. After Dalio sold his stake to Bridgewater, the Brunei Investment Agency redeemed money invested in the firm's funds and bought a minority stake in the hedge fund manager, the source added. Brunei's sovereign fund did not immediately respond to a request for comments on the transaction. Co-Chief Investment Officer Bob Prince is now Bridgewater's biggest individual partner, while the firm is controlled by a group of employees, the source said. The Wall Street Journal first reported Dalio's sale of his stake in Bridgewater and the Brunei sovereign fund's investment earlier on Thursday. Bridgewater Associates' main funds ended the first half of 2025 with gains, with the flagship Pure Alpha 18% volatility posting a 17% return in the first half of 2025.
