The Minnesota Vikings suffered a 23-6 home loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football, with fill‑in quarterback Carson Wentz throwing two interceptions and completing poorly. Coach Kevin O’Connell took most of the blame and, when asked about the upcoming trade deadline, said he would defer to GM Nolan Teasley on any quarterback moves, noting the team’s focus on fixing the loss.

The team hopes the strain is minor and won’t sideline the electric guard for long.

The Golden State Warriors are exploring ways to move Kristaps Porzingis before the Dec. 15 reaggregation deadline but refuse to surrender draft picks for a deal.

Turner, averaging 7.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks, is struggling on a 1‑9 Bucks team and carries a hefty salary, while Porzingis sits out with no current salary and could be bought out.
