The NBA said Tuesday it will test an in-game penalty for flopping during the upcoming summer league. A flop, or dive to simulate a foul, will be punished by a free throw and possession of the ball. ADVERTISEMENT The new penalty will be in effect for the summer league games but the NBA's board of governors will vote on any rule changes for the next season later this month. Officials won't have to stop the game to award the penalty, which instead will be imposed at the next natural break in play.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama, mindful of the urgent power of a president's words, liked to say he was guarded with his language because anything he said could send troops marching or markets tumbling. His successor, Donald Trump, showed no such restraint. Now Trump is facing dozens of criminal charges in four separate indictments, two ofthem anchored in the Republican's lie that he did not lose the 2020 presidential election to Democrat Joe Biden. And Trump's propensity for falsehoods and his right to utter them is at the core of his legal defense.

The Toronto Raptors interviewed former Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash for the head coaching vacancy, The Athletic reported Monday. Nash left the Nets just seven games into the 2022-23 season in what the sides called a mutual parting of ways. Nash went 94-67 in two-plus seasons in Brooklyn. The Nets tabbed Jacque Vaughn as interim head coach before naming him to the permanent post in November. The Raptors fired Nick Nurse late last month after five seasons and an NBA title, looking for a reset on the 'spirit of who we are,' Raptors president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri said.
