ATLANTA (AP) — Hawks star Trae Young was ejected after heaving the ball hard to referee Scott Wall in the third quarter of Atlanta’s 143-130 win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.After Hawks coach Quin Snyder called a timeout in the third quarter with the game tied at 84, Young first bounced the ball and then threw a hard, two-handed pass at Wall, who caught the ball. Young was immediately called for a technical foul and ejected.Only seconds earlier, Young had an apparent 3-pointer disallowed when he was called for a technical foul for sticking out his leg and tripping Aaron Nesmith.“It’s just a play he can’t make,” Hawks coach Quin Snyder said after the game. “I told him that. He knows it.”Snyder said Young acknowledged his mistake.“There wasn’t a single part of him that tried to rationalize what happened,” Snyder said.The technical foul was Young’s 15th of the season. A 16th technical foul results in an automatic one-game suspension.Young, who leads...

AP source: Bobby Wagner returning to Seahawks on 1-year deal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:00:36 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Bobby Wagner is headed back to the Seattle Seahawks after agreeing to a one-year deal Saturday to rejoin the team with which he became one of the top linebackers in the NFL, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the team didn’t announce the agreement. Seattle teammates Quandre Diggs and Tyler Lockett first broke the news on Twitter, and NFL Network and ESPN said the deal was worth up to $7 million. Wagner spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Seahawks after being selected in the second round of the 2012 draft by Seattle. He became a six-time first-team All-Pro selection during his tenure in Seattle, where he was regularly regarded as one of the best middle linebackers in the league. Wagner was released by Seattle just over a year ago in a salary cap move. Wagner was due nearly $17 million and wanted to give Jordyn Brooks the opportunity to step into the middle ...
