Seven countries, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman, agreed to the move at a meeting on Sunday. It’s less than the May output raise of 206,000 barrels a day.

Frozen pizzas sold at Walmart and Aldi are being recalled due to concerns that they may be contaminated with salmonella, as well as other items.

On April 30, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Services issued a public health alert for meat and poultry products containing FDA-regulated ingredients that may be contaminated with Salmonella.  

Customers who have purchased the recalled products are urged not to consume them, even if they are cooked thoroughly, over concerns about the food-borne bacterium.

“The health and safety of our customers is always a top priority,”a Walmart spokesperson told FOX Business. “We have issued a sales restriction and removed this product from our impacted stores. We are working with the supplier to investigate.”

The products contain dry milk powder that had been recalled and was used to make frozen pizzas and pork rinds, the FDA said. No confirmed cases of illness or adverse reactions have been reported due to the consumption of the recalled products, the agency said.

MINNEAPOLIS — As the NBA playoffs intensify in early May 2026, two Western Conference superstars remain sidelined by significant injuries, forcing their teams to navigate high-stakes series without their primary offensive engines. Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic continues a slow recovery from a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, while Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards battles a left knee hyperextension with bone bruise — raising the question of whose absence carries the heavier cost for playoff aspirations.

Doncic, acquired by the Lakers in a blockbuster move, suffered the injury on April 2 in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Slovenian superstar, who led the NBA in scoring much of the season, has missed the entire first-round series against the Houston Rockets. Despite advancing, the Lakers face the top-seeded Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals without their MVP-caliber playmaker.

Recent updates paint a cautious picture. ESPN’s Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst report no contact work yet for Doncic, who has progressed only to controlled on-court movement and spot-up shooting. He remains week-to-week with no firm timeline, likely missing the start of the Thunder series and possibly more. Coach JJ Redick has emphasized a deliberate approach to avoid setbacks on the delicate soft-tissue injury.

“Luka has not begun contact basketball yet,” Windhorst noted. “You’re looking at 3-on-3, then 5-on-5. That has not happened.” Sources indicate a slow build, with some speculation he might not return until deeper into the postseason — if at all this spring.

The impact on the Lakers has been profound yet mitigated by LeBron James’ veteran leadership and supporting casts stepping up. Los Angeles pushed past Houston in six games, but facing a powerhouse Thunder team without Doncic’s 30-plus point, triple-double threat creates an uphill battle. Analysts estimate his absence equates to losing roughly 35-40% of the team’s offensive creation, spacing and clutch scoring.

Edwards’ Timeline Offers More Hope

Edwards’ injury occurred in late April during the Timberwolves’ first-round series against the Denver Nuggets. An MRI revealed a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise, compounding ongoing right knee patellar tendinitis issues. He has been ruled out for the start of Minnesota’s second-round matchup against the San Antonio Spurs but listed as questionable for Game 1 after clearance for on-court activities.

Coach Chris Finch described Edwards as “week-to-week,” yet optimism persists for a return as early as Games 3 or 4. Shams Charania reported Edwards is “hopeful” and communicating plans to rejoin if the series extends, with around-the-clock treatment accelerating progress beyond initial multi-week projections.

The 24-year-old All-Star averaged 28.8 points per game in the regular season and remains the Timberwolves’ clear alpha scorer and leader. Minnesota advanced despite his limited availability, but the drop-off without him is stark: reduced athleticism on drives, perimeter creation and defensive versatility.

Measuring the Cost: Production, Team Context and Playoff Stakes

Quantifying “more costly” involves stats, roster depth and series difficulty. Doncic’s per-game averages hover near 30 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds in recent seasons, with elite playmaking that elevates teammates. His injury removes a generational facilitator from a Lakers squad already thin on star power beyond James. Without him, Los Angeles relies heavily on role players against OKC’s elite defense and depth.

Edwards, while slightly less efficient as a creator, brings explosive scoring (often 25-35 in big games) and two-way impact that fits Minnesota’s gritty identity alongside Rudy Gobert and others. The Timberwolves boast stronger supporting talent, including veterans like Mike Conley, but losing Edwards’ gravity strains their offense against a young, dynamic Spurs team led by Victor Wembanyama.

Playoff metrics underscore the gap. Teams typically see win probabilities drop 15-25% without superstar usage rates above 30%. For the Lakers, projected as underdogs versus OKC, Doncic’s void feels existential — potentially shortening their run dramatically. Minnesota, with home-court advantages possible and a more favorable matchup, has a clearer path to weather the storm until Edwards returns.

Retail analysts and betting markets reflect this: odds for Lakers advancing deep without Doncic lengthen significantly, while Timberwolves series odds improve markedly with Edwards projected back mid-series. Historical parallels — stars missing early playoff rounds — show recovery speed and replacement quality as key variables. Edwards’ shorter expected absence (potentially 1-3 games) versus Doncic’s open-ended timeline tips the scale.

Broader Implications for Franchises

Both injuries highlight playoff fragility. The Lakers, post-Doncic trade, bet heavily on his availability for a title push alongside James. Prolonged absence risks not just this postseason but long-term chemistry and fan expectations in a win-now window. Minnesota’s contention window feels more sustainable, with Edwards’ prime years ahead and roster flexibility.

Fan and social media reactions amplify the drama. Hashtags like #LukaReturn and #AntBack trend, with debates raging on X and forums over load management, rehab protocols and “what if” scenarios. Some argue Doncic’s heavier usage makes his strain more debilitating; others point to Edwards’ youth and explosiveness creating higher re-injury risk upon rushed return.

Medical experts note hamstring strains in basketball often require 4-8 weeks for full strength, while knee bone bruises vary but respond well to rest and modern therapies. Both organizations prioritize long-term health over desperate gambles.

What Lies Ahead

For the Lakers, survival against Oklahoma City without Doncic demands heroic efforts from James, Austin Reaves (also managing an oblique issue) and defensive intensity. A potential Game 3-4 Doncic return remains a long shot but could swing momentum if achieved.

The Timberwolves enter San Antonio hopeful Edwards tests the knee positively. Even limited minutes could tilt a series against the Spurs. Finch’s rotation adjustments — leaning on guards like Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland — have shown promise but lack Edwards’ finishing punch.

Ultimately, Edwards’ injury appears less costly in the immediate term due to a quicker projected return and Minnesota’s supporting cast. Doncic’s extended absence weighs heavier on a Lakers team chasing contention in a brutal Western bracket. Yet both absences underscore basketball’s team nature: no single star guarantees success, but their voids expose roster limits.

As series unfold this week, franchises, coaches and fans monitor every update. In the 2026 playoffs, health remains the ultimate separator — and for now, both Luka Doncic and Anthony Edwards are fighting time to prove their irreplaceable value.
