for people with heart failure taking entresto, it may lead to a world of possibilities. entresto is a heart failure medicine prescribed by most cardiologists. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. heart failure can change the structure of your heart so it may not work as well. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. and with a healthier heart, there's no telling where life may take you. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. entrust your heart to entresto.

durant is back after sitting out for over a week because of covid protocols and he can't wait to get back on the court. >> looking forward to playing again and being out there with the team and build some chemistry. that's my main focus. i had some great years in golden state. look forward to being back in the bay area, but it's a shame the fans won't be there. how about g-league action in the bubble. santa cruz taking on delaware. jordan pool for 3 of his 19. the rookie had 22 with authority. also had six assists and blue coats pull away late. paul reid had 23. delaware the winner. to the ice the last time the sharks played at home march 8th of 2020. 12 games on the road to start the season, sharks finally back in the tank tonight against vegas. naturally they're thrilled but sharks territory is now somewhat

unfamiliar territory. >> took me a little bit to get my bearings walking around our room. i would love to come out tomorrow and have, you know, the full sap center of sharks fans that definitely get out for our games against vegas. that energy will be lacking from the fans but up to us in the room to make up for it. round two of the pebble beach pro am. wow, it's just gorgeous there. daniel burger playing pebble and drains this for eagle. 6 under 66. second place at 11 under par. one back of the leader jordan spieth. long hole birdie putt. it is spieth's first lead since 2017. round three today at pebble. don't forget we've got warriorss versus nets. steph versus k.d. tonight right
