One of the lowest points in their fractured relationship came when a leaked sex tape of Hogan surfaced in 2015 catching him in a racist rant about Brooke and her then-boyfriend Yannique Barker.

In Miami, the NBA's decision that LaMelo Ball grabbing Bam Adebayo was an ejection-worthy flagrant foul didn't register much of a reaction. In Charlotte, the fact that the ruling didn't include a suspension brought relief.And Adebayo wants the league to look at how plays like that can be reviewed going forward.Ball will play Friday for the Hornets in their play-in elimination game at Orlando the reality that Charlotte coach Charles Lee hoped for, and something that Miami coach Erik Spoelstra didn't seem to have a problem with.I didnt think that he needed to be penalized more moving forward. I don't think that would make sense," Spoelstra said Thursday as the Heat held their season-ending meetings two days after being eliminated from the postseason with a 127-126 loss in Charlotte, a game that Adebayo missed much of after being injured on a play where Ball grabbed at his ankle as he was falling.I dont think hes a dirty player. I just think, in that moment, all things can be true, Spoelstra said. It was a dirty play and a dangerous play. It should have been caught at that moment. But it wasnt and then, you know, you move on.The league said Ball made unnecessary and reckless contact with Adebayo. Ball was fined $35,000 for the foul, plus another $25,000 for using profanity in a postgame on-court interview.Everybodys going to have their opinion on it," Adebayo said when asked his thoughts on the play. Nobodys really going to know the truth but LaMelo if it was dirty or not, obviously. Everybody's going to try to defend him or defend me. ... We move on at this point.The flagrant foul from Tuesdays game, if called as a Category 2 in real time, would have resulted in Miami being awarded two free throws and possession of the ball plus would have led to Ball's ejection.An NBA investigation is standard after such plays; referee Zach Zarba even told a pool reporter Tuesday night that the league would be looking into the play further. The league's word came late Wednesday night, and only then could Lee exhale.I think the league handed out something that was what they deemed to be fair," Lee said in Charlotte on Thursday before the team's flight to Orlando. "And were glad that we still have him going on to the next game. I know he never has the intent to try to hurt anybody out there on the court. But I'm glad everythings kind of settled now.Per NBA rules, the Heat could not challenge the ruling on the play because no foul was called. Play continued, leaving no opportunity for a replay review. Adebayo was diagnosed with a lower-back contusion as a result of the fall, and he wondered why mechanisms exist to take 3-point makes off the scoreboard after several more minutes of play but incidents like the one Tuesday can't be reviewed unless immediately whistled.I think the officials handled it, I guess, by the rule book, Adebayo said. I feel like it'll be a change at some point. It doesn't make sense that three or four plays go by and you can review a 3-point shot but you can't review a hostile act.It's at least the second time Ball has been involved in such a play with Adebayo. During a game at Miami in January 2024, when Ball grabbed at Adebayos leg as the Heat star was running to the other end of the court. Adebayo stumbled but did not fall.There's never been any, like, bad blood between us. ... There's always been good conversations, Adebayo said. As far as those incidents, I can't tell you what goes through his mind.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA

Tiger Woods' legal representative has moved to contest prosecutors' efforts to obtain the golfer's prescription medication records in connection with his arrest last month in Florida on suspicion of driving under the influence.Doug Duncan, the attorney representing the sporting icon, submitted a court filing this week arguing that his client possesses a constitutional entitlement to privacy concerning his prescribed medicines.The legal motion requests that a Martin County judge convene a hearing to assess whether such pharmaceutical records are genuinely required for the ongoing criminal inquiry.Woods was taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence following a road collision on Jupiter Island on 27 March.The golfing legend has entered a not guilty plea to the charge.According to a sheriff's office report, deputies discovered two pain tablets in Woods' pocket following the incident, with the golfer displaying signs of impairment.His Land Rover had collided with a truck's trailer, causing the vehicle to overturn onto its side.The crash occurred on a residential coastal road where the speed limit stands at 30 mph, yet Woods was reportedly travelling at considerably higher speeds.Damage to the truck amounted to approximately $5,000, according to the incident report.Woods consented to a breathalyser examination, which revealed no trace of alcohol in his system.However, he declined to provide a urine sample when requested by authorities.Prosecutors have indicated their intention to issue a subpoena for all prescription medication records held at Lewis Pharmacy in Palm Beach, Florida, covering the period from the beginning of January through to the end of March.In addition to seeking the pharmaceutical documentation, the prosecution filed court papers on Wednesday demanding that Woods identify the names and whereabouts of any witnesses he intends to call in his defence.Should the presiding judge determine that the medication records are indeed essential to the case, Duncan has requested a protective order be implemented.Such an order would restrict access to the sensitive documents solely to prosecutors, law enforcement officials, state-appointed experts and Woods' own defence team.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
