Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Doc Rivers has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the Los Angeles Clippers until 2019.
The five-year extension is worth more than $50million, according to Yahoo Sports.
Last season Rivers led the Clippers, recently bought for $2bn by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, to a franchise-best 57 wins and a division title.
The Clippers were eventually beaten by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semi-finals.
"This is an important day for this organization,” Ballmer said. “I am excited to work with Doc for a long time as we build a championship culture that will deliver results both on and off the court."
