MIAMI (AP) — The results are in: Jimmy Butler is out. Butler will not be able to play for the Miami Heat in a win-or-else game on Friday night against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA's play-in tournament because of a right knee injury, one that will sideline him for several weeks. An MRI exam on Thursday showed that he sprained the MCL ligament, an injury that typically takes at least four weeks or more to heal. That means if Miami wins Friday, it still won't have Butler for a Round 1 playoff match

Mutual fund firm T. Rowe Price said Elon Musk's record-breaking 2018 pay package from Tesla "demonstrated strong alignment" with the interests of investors at the electric carmaker. The comments from the 10th-largest Tesla investor mark important support after a Delaware judge in January voided the $56 billion package as being unfair to investors because it was negotiated by directors who appeared beholden to Musk. In response Tesla said in a preliminary proxy statement on Wednesday that it will hold an unusual special vote at its June 13 annual shareholder meeting to re-approve its chief executive's 2018 pay package.

Lawmakers working on these bills, in states including Colorado, Connecticut and Texas, are coming together Thursday to argue the case for their proposals as civil rights-oriented groups and the industry play tug-of-war with core components of the legislation.
