Whether you grew up in the Southeastern United States, or the craving for some soul food and fried goodness comes from out of nowhere, there aren't exactly a ton of options around metro Phoenix. Sure, you can dig up mac & cheese or chicken and waffles, but maybe you have a different hunger. Maybe you want some classic fried catfish nuggets or fried shrimp with the sweet (and just a hint of spice) sauce that takes you back to Atlanta or Memphis or Montgomery. If you’re constantly on the lookout for a new Southern food hotspot, you’re in luck, because a new option is now open and ready to help you satisfy those cravings.

Cunningham notched 26 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 126-107 loss to Washington. Cunningham led Detroit in the scoring in the loss, as he was the only Piston to exceed 16 points. The third-year point guard also tied for the team lead in assists and committed just one turnover after averaging 4.4 turnovers over his previous five contests. Cunningham still has the worst mark in the league with 4.5 turnovers per game on the season, but he's shown plenty of growth elsewhere, as his averages of 22.2 points, 7.1 dimes and 1.9 triples are each on pace to be a career-best mark.

Edwards is dealing with back spasms and is now questionable to play Sunday against Memphis, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports. Edwards was a late addition to Sunday's injury report after last being seen dropping 35 points in 40 minutes during Friday's loss to Sacramento. Durability is in his favor, as Edwards hasn't missed a game this season and made 79 starts last year, but his status for Sunday is murky. Mike Conley would shoulder offensive initiation in Edwards' absence, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Shake Milton could be busy as well.

There's arguably much to like about eating at a buffet restaurant. You don't have to choose just one item, you get to try many different things, and if you are going to embrace "all you can eat," then a buffet can be economical.

When the Eagles hoisted their first Lombardi Trophy to close the 2017 NFL season, it was like confirmation that destiny was finally, for once, on their side. But it also felt a bit like lightning in a bottle. Nick Foles, the quarterback who outdueled Tom Brady on the biggest stage in sports, was never supposed to be under center. Doug Pederson, the coach who outsmarted Bill Belichick, packed his bags just four years later. They were an underdog story to the fullest; their glory left almost as quickly as it arrived.

Eagles have world-class talent, but after latest clutch victory, it's their fortitude that truly shines

Russell amassed 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 24 minutes during Monday's 138-94 loss to the 76ers. Russell didn't set the world on fire with his performance, but he was one of the few bright spots in an anemic Lakers offense that shot just 47 percent from the field and 25 percent from three-point range. The assist tally was decent considering his recent performances, but the scoring woes remain, and Russell now has scored 15 or fewer points in four of his last five outings.
