Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who is expected to be taken first overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in this year's draft, grew up idolizing Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, which is why he wore the No. 16 in college.

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (rest) will not suit up for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This is just a routine day off for Lowry in the front end of the back-to-back set.

None of them have enough […]

Mike Conley Will Play Versus Thunder

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (rest) will suit up for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He sat out of Monday's contest for rest purposes.
