Anthony Bennett, Former No. 1 Pick, Asks For Demotion to NBDL

According to Blake Murphy of Raptors Republic, Bennett will then immediately be available for the Raptors’ matchup Sunday with the Sacramento Kings. Eight of Sacramento’s 26 assists came in that first stretch, and the Kings totaled ten assists in the opening frame to build a 37-18 lead after one quarter. The Kings never trailed in the game.

Trump Retains Lead Among GOP Voters Despite Comments on Muslims
He is defending it against calls of unconstitutionality, pointing out that his proposal would apply only to non-U.S. citizens. They also largely agree with Trump that President Obama was not born in America, and many questioned whether he’s Christian.

Lowry had 13 points, four assists and five rebounds when he left the game with 7:22 remaining in the third quarter.

Ironically, Shkreli who has been in the news mainly due to his price gouging tactics, did not get arrested due to pricing issues. Shkreli seemed calm and cheerful as he ignored or banned negative commenters and chatted with supporters.

The Panthers figure to have their way at Atlanta, assuming head coach Ron Rivera wants to keep the pedal to the metal. Eli found a revitalized Odell Beckham Jr , who seemed to find his rhythm and cool off, for a 40 yard catch and run.

The Kings, of course, let that sizeable first-quarter lead dwindle throughout the day.

Raptors: Lowry now has seven technicals so far this season, tied for the league lead with Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin. Terrence Ross, who averaged 3.6 points in November, has produced 17 in each of his last two games – knocking down 10-of-18 from beyond the 3-point line in the process. Anthony Bennett became the first No. 1 overall pick to play in the NBA’s D-League when he asked to play in the Raptors 905’s game against the DE 87ers on Sunday, four hours before tipoff against Sacramento.

Lowry first ran awry of the refs four minutes into play, when he argued a foul called on him for trying to steal the ball from Cousins.

Key injuries: Willie Cauley-Stein (dislocated finger) remains out for the Kings.
