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.

Dennis Rodman was released by the Los Angeles Lakers, following the latest in a series of odd behavioural episodes. Rodman was sent home from training on Thursday after showing up late and apparently forgetting to bring any socks and shoes. Rodman signed a free-agent deal on 23 February and the Lakers won the first nine games with him in uniform but the 37- year-old took a leave of absence on 14 March 14 that kept him away from the team for four games. The Lakers struggled recently with Rodman in the line-up, losing four of their last seven games.

NBA: Dallas 101 Minnesota 95; Houston 86 Portland 76; Golden State 85 Denver 79; Utah 103 LA Clippers 89; Seattle 99 Sacramento 98 (ot).
