    FIRST PICK FACTS

    • The Washington Wizards are set to make the first pick in the NBA Draft for the third time in the common draft era (since 1966). They previously selected Kwame Brown (2001) and John Wall (2010) with the first overall pick.

    • Washington entered the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery with a 14.0% chance of receiving the No. 1 overall pick, tied for the best odds with the Brooklyn Nets and the Indiana Pacers. The Wizards became the first team since the flattened odds were introduced in 2019 to finish with the NBA’s worst record and receive the No. 1 pick.

    • If Washington makes the pick, it would be the franchise’s highest selection since choosing Wall first in 2010. Wall was a five-time NBA All-Star with the Wizards.

    • In the lottery era (since 1985), the Cleveland Cavaliers have made the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft the most times (five). With the top pick, Cleveland selected Brad Daugherty (1986), LeBron James (2003), Kyrie Irving (2011), Anthony Bennett (2013) and Andrew Wiggins (2014).

    • A college freshman was the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft for 13 consecutive years from 2010 through 2022. The streak was broken in 2023, when the San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama of France with the top pick.

    • The Atlanta Hawks selected Zaccharie Risacher of France with the No. 1 pick in 2024, marking the first time in history that an international player who did not play basketball at a U.S. college was selected first overall in back-to-back years.

    • In the common draft era, Duke has had the most No. 1 overall picks with five, followed by Kentucky with three. The Blue Devils’ No. 1 selections are Elton Brand (1999), Kyrie Irving (2011), Zion Williamson (2019), Paolo Banchero (2022) and Cooper Flagg (2025). The Wildcats’ No. 1 selections are John Wall (2010), Anthony Davis (2012) and Karl-Anthony Towns (2015).

James’ NBA championship with the Cavaliers came in his second stint with the team.

  • La selección de Argelia logró remontar el marcador ante Jordania y ganó 2-1 en San Francisco; el equipo jordano quedó eliminado del Mundial 2026

    Trece minutos de rebeldía, del 69 al 82, y 2 tiros de esquina sacaron del fango a la selección de Argelia este lunes, 22 de junio, con una remontada por 1-2 sobre Jordania en el cierre de la segunda jornada del Grupo J, que tiene a Argentina en la próxima fase con 6 puntos y a Austria en lista de espera con 3.

    Un cabezazo de Nadhir Bembouali en el minuto 69 y un toque sutil de Amine Gouiri después de otro córner en el 82 salvaron los muebles del naufrago a los Zorros del Desierto, que sumaron sus primeros 3 puntos, pero aún tienen pendiente un encuentro con Austria.

    Los argelinos fueron más incisivos desde el arranque, generando las primeras ocasiones claras con Riyad Mahrez como principal referencia ofensiva.

    Los pupilos del entrenador bosnio Vladimir Petkovic pusieron el fútbol, el desgaste físico, la pirotecnia, pero a Jordania le bastó un pestañeo de sus rivales para inclinar la balanza en el minuto 36 con un gol del centrocampista Nizar Al-Rashdan.

    En la reanudación, Jordania se replegó y cedió terreno, apostando por transiciones rápidas.

    El sufrimiento del equipo argelino se prolongó hasta el segundo tiempo y entendieron entonces que debían prescindir de las jugadas elaboradas u buscar la formula del balón parado para vulnerar a Jordania.

    ICE detiene en Florida a Alina Rosales, hija de general cubano

    Alina Rosales Aguirreurreta, hija del general cubano Ulises Rosales del Toro, fue detenida por el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) por permanecer en el país tras el vencimiento de su visa de turista.

    Alina Rosales Aguirreurreta, hija del general cubano Ulises Rosales del Toro, fue detenida por el Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de Estados Unidos (ICE) en Florida, tras ser señalada por permanecer en el país luego de que expirara su visa de turista.

    De acuerdo con autoridades migratorias, la mujer ingresó a Estados Unidos en 2023 con una visa tipo B-2, utilizada para visitas temporales. Sin embargo, su autorización venció el 20 de mayo de 2024 y no existe registro de que haya obtenido una extensión o permiso para continuar en el país de manera legal.

    Ingreso al país y situación migratoria

    Según información oficial, Rosales Aguirreurreta entró a territorio estadounidense el 21 de noviembre de 2023 a través del Aeropuerto Internacional de Orlando, Florida. Desde ese momento, su estancia estaba sujeta a los tiempos establecidos por su visa de visitante.

    Al concluir el periodo autorizado, las autoridades indicaron que la mujer no abandonó el país, lo que derivó en una violación a las leyes migratorias estadounidenses y posteriormente en su detención.

    Detención en Miami y proceso ante autoridades migratorias

    El arresto ocurrió el 26 de mayo en Miami, donde agentes del ICE realizaron la detención como parte de un procedimiento por presunta estancia irregular.

    Tras su aseguramiento, la mujer fue puesta bajo custodia y enfrenta un proceso migratorio que será revisado por un juez de inmigración. En dicha audiencia se determinará su situación legal dentro de Estados Unidos.

    El Departamento de Seguridad Nacional señaló que el caso continúa en curso y que, por el momento, no se difundirán más detalles sobre el procedimiento.

    Vínculo familiar con figura histórica cubana

    El caso ha generado atención por el vínculo familiar de la detenida con el general cubano Ulises Rosales del Toro, de 84 años, considerado una de las figuras históricas de la Revolución Cubana.

    Rosales del Toro formó parte del Buró Político del Partido Comunista de Cuba y ocupó cargos de alto nivel dentro del gobierno cubano, entre ellos jefe del Estado Mayor General de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias, ministro del Azúcar, ministro de Agricultura y vicepresidente del Consejo de Ministros.

    Sin postura de autoridades o familiares

    Hasta el momento no se han emitido declaraciones por parte del gobierno cubano ni de familiares de Rosales Aguirreurreta sobre su detención o el proceso migratorio que enfrenta en Estados Unidos.

    El caso permanece bajo revisión de las autoridades migratorias estadounidenses.

    María Levy furiosa con novia de Coco por revelar que se habría convertido en madre, les manda tremendo mensaje

    La hija mayor de Mariana Levy, María, quien es fotógrafa,siempre se ha mantenido en un perfil bajo y ha sido muy reservada sobre su vida privada, por eso sorprendió enormemente que, hace unas semanas, la actriz Sussan Taunton, la pareja de su tío Coco Levy, revelara que se había convertido en madre. Ahora, un amigo de la familia nos contó que esto desató una nueva guerra.

    “En los últimos 10 años, María y Coco han tenido una relación con muchos problemas, incluido en su momento un proceso judicial de por medio, pero últimamente habían llevado una relación más cortés, y en una de esas se podía dar una reconciliación, pero cuando se enteró de que Sussan reveló algo tan personal de ella, no dudó en mandarle a decir que no se metiera en su vida y que ahora sí no quiere saber nada de su tío”, contó.

    ¿Cómo reaccionó María Levy tras filtrarse que se habría convertido en madre?

    Y es que nos cuentan que María jamás le dio la noticia: “Ella se lo platicó a otros familiares que, obviamente, como sobrina y tío, tiene en común con Coco, y pues por eso este se enteró y se lo dijo a Sussan, y a ella se le salió decirlo en una entrevista exclusiva que les dio a ustedes, TVNotas”.

    La sorpresa de María fue mayúscula: “No daba crédito que alguien que ni es de su familia, como Sussan, se hubiera atrevido a revelar algo tan personal, y por eso le mandó a decir que tiene prohibido hablar totalmente de ella”, manifestó.

    Sussan ya se arrepintió hace unas semanas en una entrevista en el programa Sale el sol: “Le ofreció disculpas a María y se justificó diciendo que a Coco le había hecho tan feliz esa noticia que por eso ella también se puso igual y lo compartió, pero que no debía haberlo dicho. Según comentó, a ella nadie le ha dicho nada sobre sus declaraciones, cuando la verdad es que le dieron tremenda regañiza”, resaltó.

    “Y es que, además de que no era la persona indicada para dar esa información, Sussan ya está confundida, pues a ella le dijeron que María había tenido una niña y, hace unos días, Ariel López Padilla, padre de María, dijo que ya era abuelo de un niño. Entonces ya ni sabe si tiene bien la información o no”.

    ¿María Levy se distancia de su tío Coco pese a los problemas de salud que tendría?

    En cuanto a qué opina Coco de este reclamo, que también fue extensivo a él por no cuidar lo que declara su novia, nos enteramos: “Sí le platicó a Sussan que no estuvo bien, pero la respaldó, ya que sabe que para nada lo hizo con mala intención, y la verdad es que él ahorita ha estado más ocupado con su problema de salud, ya que tiene un exceso de producción de sangre, y eso lo ha tenido delicado”.

    Sobre si la enfermedad de Coco podría acercar a sobrina y tío, nuestra fuente nos comentó: “La verdad, lo dudo, pero en la familia deseamos que sí. Imagínate que Coco pudiera morir pronto por el padecimiento que tiene y se vaya peleado con María. Pero es que ya han sido muchos problemas entre ellos. En 2015, ella le exigió judicialmente una rendición de cuentas por el dinero de la herencia de su mamá, ya que Coco fue albacea por un tiempo, y eso afectó para siempre la relación familiar”.

    Eso sí, nos dejan claro que María no le desea para nada el mal a su tío: “Obviamente, ella quiere que se recupere y que esté bien. A final de cuentas, es el hermano de su mamá y le manda sus mejores deseos para que esté vivo y sano, pero ella es tajante y, si de por sí ya lo tenía lejos de su vida, con esta indiscreción menos quiere saber de él ahorita”, resaltó.

    Aunque sí están obligados a tener contacto: “Hay una propiedad que dejó Talina (†) para sus 2 hijos, Coco y Pato (†), y sus nietos, María y sus hermanos, Paula y José Emilio, y Coco se está encargando de la venta de ese terreno para que se pueda repartir la herencia, pero hay muchos problemas, porque no sale esa propiedad. Y con la muerte de Pato se ha complicado el proceso, porque uno de sus hijos es menor de edad”, indicó.

    “Sin embargo, María ha dicho que no quiere ver nada de eso con Coco e incluso le gustaría que hubiera otra persona a cargo de esa venta, para agilizar los trámites y tener cero contacto con su tío”.

    Sergio Andrade vuelve a acaparar las redes sociales. Y es que recientemente su hija, Antonia Andrade, lo repudió públicamente. La mujer no solo lo desconoció como padre, sino que también lo acusó de seguir haciendo daño y exige que se entregue a la policía.

    En medio del escándalo, Antonia reaparece mostrando una foto actual de su papá y pide al público que lo reporte a las autoridades si lo llegan a ver. Te contamos lo que se sabe.

    ¿Qué dijo la hija de Sergio Andrade sobre el productor musical?

    A través de redes sociales, la hija de Sergio Andrade, quien en su momento fue considerado uno de los productores más influyentes de México, expresó que ya estaba cansada de su actitud. Afirmó que, durante mucho tiempo, la ha lastimado a ella y a su familia.

    Lo que más llamó la atención en su primer mensaje es que le exigiera que se entregara a las autoridades. Nunca mencionó la razón exacta, pero señaló que esa sería la única forma de resarcir el daño que le hizo a sus “víctimas”.

    “Que uno sea gente sensible e intente no lastimar a los suyos, no significa que sea estúpido y se quede de brazos cruzados. Siguen señalando a mi familia por cosas que hablas con otros o publicas sin nuestro consentimiento. Ambos sabemos que es toda responsabilidad sólo tuya y de tus manejos. Era una niña, pero tengo muy buena memoria y me encargué de que no se me olvidara ni ‘pio’”.

    Antonia Andrade

    También dijo que Sergio sería el único responsable, en caso de que algo le pasara a ella o a su familia. Finalmente, le pidió a la gente que no le exijan más detalles de su historia con el productor, asegurando que las autoridades son las que se deben encargar de todo este asunto.

    “Otra cosa muy importante: Por favor dejen de pedir historias detalladas sobre cosas que tienen que ser habladas con las autoridades, y que así está siendo. Entiendan que un dolor ajeno no es para irse exponiendo porque eso puede seguir haciendo mucho daño físico y psicológico”, expresó.

    Piden ayuda para localizar a Sergio Andrade

    La hija de Sergio Andrade reapareció en redes sociales para compartir una foto actual de su padre. Antonia tiene la esperanza de que esto sirva para su pronta localización. Y es que la joven le suplicó a los internautas que, si lo llegan a ver, lo reportaran a las autoridades.

    Señaló que ya existe un proceso legal en su contra, pero que este ha sido muy “engorroso” debido a ciertos atrasos. No obstante, dejó ver que no se rendirá hasta que sea localizado y detenido, pues no quiere que le haga daño a más personas.

    “SI LO VEN, POR FAVOR AVISEN A SUS AUTORIDADES TAMBIÉN. ESO PUEDE AYUDAR A QUE QUEDE CONSTANCIA Y MÁS INFORMACIÓN REGISTRADA DE LA QUE YA SE HA ESTADO INFORMANDO SOBRE POSIBLES PARADEROS PARA FACILITAR LA INVESTIGACIÓN”.

    Antonia Andrade

    Y añadió: “Es horrible saber que puede haber más gente dañada o arrastrada injustamente por todo lo que hace o dice”.


    ¿Por qué la hija de Sergio Andrade no se ha cambiado el apellido?

    Antonia Andrade aprovechó para aclarar el motivo por el que no se ha cambiado el apellido. La respuesta es simple: pereza. La chica resaltó que los trámites para hacerlo suelen ser muy tardados y, en estos momentos, no tiene el ánimo de hacerlo.

    Sin embargo, indicó que solo el apellido de su mamá es el que la representa, por lo que no le toma mucha importancia a su nombre legal.

    “Y con respecto a cierto apellido. Lo llevo aún oficialmente y la verdad me da mucha pereza darle espacio siquiera para estar pensando en quitármelo, y encima perder tiempo por ahora en eso cuando tengo otras cosas en las que avanzar y poner mi energía. No me define, el RÍOS sí”, expresó.

    Pese a todo, no descarta la posibilidad de hacerlo algún día, pues no quiere que se le siga relacionando con el productor: “Y quién sabe… hasta tal vez se renueva de aquí en adelante aunque sea por aquellos que lo comparten, y a quienes se les pudiera asociar a todo este tema aunque nada tengan que ver con esto”, concluyó.

  • Un estudio de 53 hogares revela que los gatos usan el acicalamiento para algo más que la amistad: un comportamiento que muchos dueños interpretan mal

    Un estudio de 53 hogares revela que los gatos usan el acicalamiento para algo más que la amistad: un comportamiento que muchos dueños interpretan mal

    Un equipo de científicos ha confirmado que los gatos no siempre se lamen entre sí como muestra de afecto. Tras analizar el comportamiento de felinos en 53 hogares con varios gatos, los investigadores descubrieron que el llamado allogrooming —el acicalamiento de un gato hacia otro— también puede ser una forma sutil de expresar tensión o conflicto.

    El hallazgo, publicado en la revista Applied Animal Behaviour Science, desafía una de las creencias más extendidas sobre la conducta felina. Durante años se asumió que cuando un gato lamía a otro estaba reforzando un vínculo amistoso. Sin embargo, la realidad parece mucho más compleja. En algunos casos, esos lamidos pueden ser una estrategia para evitar una pelea o incluso una forma pasivo-agresiva de marcar incomodidad.

    La investigación fue desarrollada por especialistas de la Universidad de Gante y la Universidad de Lincoln, que recurrieron a un proyecto de ciencia ciudadana para estudiar situaciones cotidianas imposibles de recrear en un laboratorio. Pero hay un detalle que ha llamado especialmente la atención de los expertos: el significado de un simple lamido depende por completo del contexto.

    Cuando los lamidos fortalecen la amistad entre gatos

    Los investigadores comprobaron que, efectivamente, el acicalamiento mutuo puede ser una herramienta para reforzar vínculos sociales. En el 41% de los casos observados, los gatos buscaban primero el contacto físico y después comenzaban a lamerse.

    Este patrón aparecía especialmente cuando ambos animales compartían espacios de descanso o se acomodaban juntos en una cama o cesta. La sincronía corporal resultó ser una pista fundamental. Cuando los dos gatos adoptaban posturas similares —por ejemplo, ambos tumbados o ambos sentados— la interacción tendía a desarrollarse en un ambiente relajado y positivo.

    En el 41% de los casos observados, los gatos buscaban primero el contacto físico y después comenzaban a lamerse.

    Los científicos también detectaron que las zonas elegidas para el acicalamiento aportan información valiosa. Los gatos suelen concentrarse en la cabeza y las orejas del compañero, áreas especialmente sensibles y ricas en glándulas odoríferas. Para muchos felinos, recibir lamidos en estas regiones puede resultar tan agradable como una caricia para los humanos.

    Pero existe otro elemento sorprendente. El estudio encontró una estrecha relación entre el acicalamiento y el juego. Muchos de los gatos observados comenzaban una sesión de lucha amistosa después de lamerse mutuamente. Estas interacciones incluían comportamientos típicos del juego felino: revolcarse, sujetarse con las patas delanteras o lanzar patadas con las traseras sin intención real de hacerse daño. 

    En estas situaciones, los lamidos aparecían con frecuencia en la zona del cuello, un lugar que también suele ser objetivo de mordiscos suaves durante el juego. Todo ello sugiere que el acicalamiento puede actuar como una especie de “lenguaje social” destinado a fortalecer relaciones, generar confianza y facilitar interacciones positivas dentro del grupo.

    El gesto que puede esconder una advertencia silenciosa

    Sin embargo, los resultados también revelaron una cara mucho menos amable del comportamiento felino. Los investigadores observaron numerosos episodios en los que el acicalamiento parecía estar relacionado con situaciones de tensión. En lugar de expresar cariño, algunos gatos utilizaban los lamidos como una forma de comunicación preventiva para evitar enfrentamientos directos.

    Desde una perspectiva evolutiva, esta estrategia tiene sentido. Una pelea puede provocar lesiones en ambos contendientes, por lo que resulta más seguro enviar señales de advertencia discretas antes de recurrir a los arañazos o los mordiscos.

    Los investigadores observaron numerosos episodios en los que el acicalamiento parecía estar relacionado con situaciones de tensión.

    En varios vídeos analizados apareció un patrón llamativo. Un gato comenzaba a lamer el cuello de otro mientras este mostraba signos evidentes de incomodidad. Entre ellos destacaba el aplanamiento de las orejas, una señal clásica de malestar o estrés en los felinos.

    Pero hay un detalle que desconcierta a los científicos: a simple vista, muchas de estas escenas podrían interpretarse erróneamente como muestras de afecto. La diferencia solo se vuelve evidente cuando se observan cuidadosamente las reacciones del receptor. Un lamido no siempre significa aceptación; en ocasiones puede representar una negociación silenciosa por el control de un espacio, un recurso o una situación social.

    Imaginemos dos gatos que desean ocupar el mismo rincón soleado de la casa. En lugar de iniciar una confrontación abierta, uno de ellos podría recurrir a este comportamiento ambiguo para expresar sus intenciones sin desencadenar una pelea inmediata.

    Las señales ocultas que revelan el verdadero estado de ánimo de un gato

    La conclusión más importante del estudio es que ningún comportamiento puede interpretarse de forma aislada. Los investigadores identificaron numerosas señales corporales capaces de revelar si el acicalamiento ocurre en un contexto amistoso o conflictivo. La clave no está en el lamido en sí, sino en todo lo que sucede antes, durante y después de la interacción.

    Entre los indicadores de tensión detectados aparecieron movimientos aparentemente inocentes: sacudir la cabeza, rascarse detrás de las orejas, bostezar repetidamente o lamerse los labios.

    Los investigadores identificaron numerosas señales corporales capaces de revelar si el acicalamiento ocurre en un contexto amistoso o conflictivo. 

    Aunque muchas personas no les prestan atención, estos gestos forman parte del repertorio de señales de estrés que utilizan los gatos para comunicar incomodidad. La postura corporal también desempeñó un papel fundamental. Cuando ambos animales compartían una posición similar, las interacciones tendían a ser más positivas. Por el contrario, las situaciones conflictivas eran más frecuentes cuando un gato se inclinaba físicamente sobre el otro o invadía su espacio personal.

    Además, los científicos observaron que algunos episodios de acicalamiento terminaban en manotazos, arañazos o pequeños mordiscos. Estos desenlaces sugieren que ciertas sesiones de lamido podrían representar intentos fallidos de gestionar tensiones sociales. 

    El estudio demuestra que las relaciones entre gatos son mucho más complejas de lo que se pensaba hasta ahora. Lejos de funcionar como simples muestras de cariño, los comportamientos sociales felinos forman parte de una red sofisticada de señales que pueden transmitir amistad, cooperación, juego, negociación o incluso conflicto. Como ocurre con muchas especies sociales, la convivencia felina se desarrolla en una delicada danza de gestos, posturas y mensajes silenciosos. Y en ese lenguaje secreto, un simple lamido puede significar mucho más de lo que imaginábamos.

    Quizá la próxima vez que dos gatos se acicalen mutuamente frente a nuestros ojos estemos contemplando algo más que una escena tierna. Tal vez estemos observando una conversación compleja, un acuerdo temporal o incluso una disputa cuidadosamente disfrazada de cordialidad. En el universo felino, las apariencias rara vez cuentan toda la historia.
