MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa had already checked out of the game along with many other Dolphins starters when Miami fans started chanting, “We want Dallas!”Miami’s 30-0 win over the New York Jets was the bounce-back the Dolphins needed after an embarrassing collapse against Tennessee six days prior. And Miami was just fine playing a full game without star receiver Tyreek Hill.Tagovailoa said he felt the offense was a bit disoriented with Hill limited to 34 snaps against the Titans because of an ankle injury, but getting reps without Hill in the week leading up to Sunday’s game helped with Miami’s production.“It’s tough not having one of your star guys out there,” Tagovailoa said. “But as a collective group, it’s like, well, what are we going to do? Are we going to run the ball the entire game or are we going to do action game the entire game? No, we shouldn’t change who we are as an offense because one guy is out. We’ve got a lot of other guys that we ...

Will Zach LaVine be traded? What about DeMar DeRozan or Alex Caruso? Latest Chicago Bulls news about the NBA trade deadline.

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:22:47 GMT

The NBA trade deadline is fast approaching — and the Chicago Bulls will be sellers.Free-agency rules prohibit players from being traded until Dec. 15 or three months after the date of their contract signing, whichever comes later. Because of this latter clause, some players will not be available until January.It looks most realistic to expect the Bulls to execute a trade around the Feb. 8 deadline. That would give executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas enough time to leverage a variety of trade options.Here’s what to know about the Bulls, including the likeliest players to be traded — and where they might land.What are the Bulls saying?The three-plus years since Karnišovas took over the executive vice president role in April 2020 have been riddled with more frustration than success. The Bulls have made the playoffs once in his tenure. None of his draft selections has made a meaningful impact. And Karnišovas’ f...

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Two former Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against Rudy Giuliani asked Monday for a court order barring him from continuing to repeat the lies he spread about them following the 2020 election.The new lawsuit points to comments the former New York City mayor made during and after the damages trial last week, repeating the baseless conspiracy theories about Ruby Freeman and Wandrea “Shaye” Moss.

It must stop,” attorneys for the mother and daughter wrote in court documents.A spokesman for Giuliani did not immediately return a message seeking comment.Giuliani has previously acknowledged in court documents that he made public comments falsely claiming Freeman and Moss committed ballot fraud as he fought to keep fellow Republican Donald Trump in the White Ho...
