The Miami Heat snap a 0‑4 start with back‑to‑back wins, beating the Indiana Pacers 145‑125 after a 124‑119 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Giannis Antetokounmpo posted a 31‑point, 18‑rebounds, 10‑assist triple‑double, while Bam Adebayo added 27 points. Both stars praised bench spark plug Pelle Larsson, who scored 18 points and dished eight assists in the Hawks game and was hailed as the team’s smartest player. Larsson’s playmaking is credited as the Heat’s X‑factor as they prepare to face the Lakers on Monday.
Dolphins Elevated K Zane Gonzalez & DE Max Llewellyn
The Miami Dolphins have promoted kicker Zane Gonzalez and defensive end Max Llewellyn to their active roster. Gonzalez, a 31‑year‑old former seventh‑round pick who has bounced between practice squads and short‑term contracts with the Browns, Cardinals, Lions, Panthers, 49ers, Washington and Atlanta, most recently posted a 19‑of‑22 field‑goal record with the Falcons in 2025. The move adds veteran depth to Miami’s special teams, while the elevation of DE Llewellyn, whose details were not disclosed, bolsters the defensive line for the remainder of the 2026 season.
Patriots add running back Lan Larison to 53, elevate former Dolphins wideout from practice squad
The Patriots promote 24‑year‑old running back Lan Larison to the 53‑man roster and elevate former Dolphins receiver Ryan Miller from the practice squad for Sunday’s game at Miami. With TreVeyon Henderson and A.J. Brown downgraded, Larison becomes the third RB behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Corey Kiner after an illness thinned the depth chart. Larison, an undrafted UC Davis free agent who debuted against Seattle, logged two catches for nine yards and a 24.5‑yard kickoff return average in the Super Bowl LX rematch. Miller, a 26‑year‑old ex‑Dolphins wideout who posted a 77‑yard TD this season, joins the Patriots as the fourth healthy receiver. Linebacker Christian Elliss and cornerback Carlton Davis III are questionable, while Marcus Bryant stays on IR. Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. ET in Miami Gardens.

Insider shares revelation involving Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm Jr., Derek Jeter with Marlins
Ahead of the 2027 season, the Yankees face a decision on free‑agent Jazz Chisholm Jr., who posted a .231 average, 19 homers, 55 RBIs and a career‑high 41 steals for New York. Insider Jim Bowden recalls a rookie‑year incident when Chisholm parked in Derek Jeter’s spot at Marlins spring training, highlighting his “complicated” off‑field persona. Bowden says Chisholm’s talent is valuable defensively, but contending clubs may shy from a long‑term deal, leaving second‑division teams to likely bid for his 20‑HR/40‑steal profile. The Yankees’ next move and Chisholm’s offseason destination remain uncertain.
Why Giannis Antetokounmpo was actually grateful for Heat’s brutal 0-4 start to season

After a 145‑125 win over Indiana, the two‑time MVP highlighted how early criticism sparked humility and trust, noting his own triple‑double (31‑18‑10) and a six‑game average of 28.2 points, 12.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists on 58.6% shooting. Antetokounmpo credits the rough start for building chemistry with Bam Adebayo and turning the Heat’s mindset, as they aim for three straight victories on a five‑game West Coast road trip beginning with the Lakers.
