Under orders not to discuss the Ryan Fitzpatrick contract dispute, several players on the New York Jets clammed up Wednesday when questioned about their absent quarterback -- the major storyline as the team reported to training camp.All questions about Ryan are for coach [Todd] Bowles, running back Matt Forte said. They told the team that.They?Everybody knows who they are, he said, probably referring to the public relations staff.The Jets and the unsigned Fitzpatrick have been locked in a contract stalemate since January. The sides have not talked about a contract recently and remain far apart in determining the players value, and no resolution is expected any time soon, a source told ESPNs Ed Werder.The tone on Wednesday was a stark contrast to the offseason practices, when many players -- namely wide receivers Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall -- were outspoken in their support of Fitzpatrick, a popular team leader who set a franchise record with 31 touchdown passes in 2015.Neither Decker nor Marshall were among the five players made available to the media on Wednesday. Neither was quarterback Geno Smith, currently in the starters role. Bowles wont meet the media until Thursday, following the first practice.Center Nick Mangold, one of Fitzpatricks closest friends on the team, said he spoke to the quarterback on Tuesday. He said they didnt discuss football or his contract situation. Clearly, Mangold was uncomfortable talking about it with reporters.I dont know, man, he said, Listen, I dont claim to know whats going on or have any feelings about whats going on because I have no control over it. Hopefully, things get worked out. If they dont, they dont. if they do, great. I have to worry about blocking nose tackles. Thats my focus. The other stuff will figure itself out.The Jets have presented multiple offers to Fitzpatrick, including a three-year, $24 million proposal that includes $15 million in guarantees. He has no other suitors, but he has refused to accept what he believes is a below-market deal. He made $3.25 million in 2015.Despite the impasse, the Jets have said theyd still like to re-sign Fitzpatrick as their starter, although Bowles suggested last month theyd have to adjust their plan if the matter remains unresolved at a certain point. The Jets havent declared a deadline. They apparently will evaluate Smith in the early stages of camp, perhaps waiting until after the first preseason game before making a final call on Fitzpatrick.We have to work with everybodys whos here, Forte said. If youre here, were going to get better. And if not, theres nothing I can do about it.Coming off a 10-win, non-playoff season, the Jets believe they have enough talent to end their five-year postseason drought. The uncertainty at quarterback is a major question, not to mention a potential distraction.If you guys keep asking questions, maybe, Mangold said, laughing. But I dont think so. If you can block out everything else, you can block out this and focus on what needs to be focused on -- building this team. Wholesale Nike Free . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. Cheap Nike Free Sale .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. http://www.cheapnikefreeuk.com/ .

Cleveland guard J.R. Smith stripped Gerald Henderson of the ball on a drive to the basket in the closing seconds, a play on which the 76ers argued for a foul, to no avail.It was one of the few times the Cavs have been challenged this season.The Cavaliers became the first team in NBA history to make more than 20 3-pointers in back-to-back games when they drubbed Dallas 128-90 on Friday night.Cleveland made 20-for-43 shots from downtown, after going 21-for-36 from behind the arc in Wednesdays 137-125 victory over Portland.We were making 11, 12 or 13 3s (per game), but I thought that we could shoot better, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue told ESPN.com. The last couple games the guys have been shooting really well.Kevin Love drilled 15 of 21 3-pointers in those two games. He scored 40 points against Portland, 34 of those in the first quarter. Thats the highest total in a first quarter in league history and three shy of the record for any quarter.Earlier this season, Love was passing up 3-pointers in favor of trying to draw contacct and get to the foul line, but after reviewing film with assistant coach Phil Handy, he decided it was better to fire away.

Embiid, who underwent two foot surgeries and missed two seasons, is being limited to 24 minutes.Neither coach Brett Brown nor a team spokesman could say on Friday whether Embiid, who scored 22 points against Cleveland in the earlier game, would play Sunday against the Cavs or Monday in Toronto.The Sixers have been without top overall pick Ben Simmons (foot) and veteran big man Nerlens Noel (knee) all season.Cleveland forward Channing Frye will not be with the team Sunday, as his father, Tommy, died on Thanksgiving.
