I don't agree with that. One of the assistant coaches was there with me, [he] doesn't agree. But it doesn't really matter. It's like the ref's word against ours. When they throw you out, they throw you out, even if I was right."They [were] ready. They [were] ready to throw me out. Did I cuss? No, I didn't. I didn't say a cuss word. If you watch the clips, you can probably read my lips. No hand gestures. Me and Bill [Kennedy] [were] having a conversation, and the other two refs — again, like I said, refs can have an effect on the game. They do have an effect on the outcome."CELTICS' JAYLEN BROWN RIPS 'UNACCEPTABLE' CONDITIONS OF NBA IN-SEASON TOURNAMENT COURTS AFTER INJURYTatum added that, in his experience, referees typically give NBA players more leeway before resorting to an ejection.

You always say get your money's worth, right? We get fined for these techs, and I definitely did not get my money's worth for getting thrown out of the game tonight."

I had to laugh it off."The confrontation with the referee happened when Tatum took the ball up the floor in the third quarter.

Published13 minutes agoShareclose panelShare pageCopy linkAbout sharingImage source, Getty ImagesBy Hugo Bachega in Jerusalem & Adam Durbin in LondonBBC NewsIsrael has carried out intense air strikes on Khan Younis in southern Gaza, with residents describing it as the heaviest bombing of the war.People in eastern areas of the city have been told by the Israeli military to evacuate further to the south. Israel believes some Hamas leaders are in the city, where many civilians are sheltering after fleeing the north.Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says at least 193 people have been killed in the latest wave of Israeli attacks.On Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) resumed its offensive against Hamas in Gaza, launched in response to the 7 October attacks in Israel which killed around 1,200 people.The Hamas-run health ministry says the number of people killed in Gaza has now exceeded 15,200 people.Israel's bombardment of Gaza resumed after a temporary ceasefire ended on Friday. The IDF said it had hit more than 400 Hamas "terror targets" on the first day of the renewed operation. Rockets have also been regularly fired at Israel from Gaza since fighting resumed, including a barrage aimed at Tel Aviv and the surrounding area of central Israel on Saturday evening.Following this attack, Israel's ambulance service said it treated a 22-year-old man for "minor shrapnel injuries" to the head in Holon - a city just south of Tel Aviv.At a briefing on Saturday evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to continue with the Israeli military operation until "we achieve all the goals" in eliminating Hamas and securing the release of the hostages.He acknowledged that "a tough war is ahead of us". Khan Younis and the city of Rafah, on the border with Egypt, were some of the places hit with heavy air strikes, with the next phase of the offensive likely to focus on southern Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have sought shelter in the area, after being told to flee the north of the territory, which was Israel's main target in the early stages of the war.The IDF's Arabic-language spokesman posted maps on social media indicating which areas civilians should leave, directing people in areas east of Khan Younis to evacuate further south to shelters in Rafah, an indication that a ground offensive could be imminent.Hospitals, operating with limited resources after weeks of fighting, were overwhelmed with casualties, and at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, some patients were treated on the floor."A night of horror," Samira, a mother of four, told the Reuters news agency. "It was one of the worst nights we spent in Khan Younis in the past six weeks since we arrived here... We are so afraid they will enter Khan Younis."Unicef spokesman James Elder, who was in Khan Younis on Saturday, told the BBC that hospitals were already "saturated" with casualties before the strikes resumed. "There is literally blood in the corridors, there are mothers yet again holding babies who look like they've been killed", he said.The Palestinian Red Crescent charity confirmed 100 lorries with aid were allowed to enter Gaza from Egypt on Saturday. On Friday, no humanitarian supplies were delivered to the territory. Talks to reach a deal for another temporary ceasefire and to secure the release of the people kidnapped on 7 October who remain in Gaza collapsed on Saturday. A Palestinian official familiar with the talks told the BBC that the negotiations were completely stalled, with no contacts or attempts to reach a fresh truce.On Saturday, Israel announced it was pulling its negotiators from the Mossad intelligence service out of talks in Qatar, which has been acting as a mediator, following an "impasse in the negotiations".Saleh al-Arouri, deputy head of Hamas's political bureau, told Al Jazeera on Saturday that "there are no negotiations now" and there would be no more prisoners exchanged with Israel until the war is over.US Vice President Kamala Harris, in a meeting with the president of Egypt, said "under no circumstances [would] the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza".She also reiterated the US position that Israel had the right to defend itself.During their meeting in Dubai on the sidelines of the UN's COP28 climate conference, she told Abdul Fattah al-Sisi that peace efforts could only succeed if "pursued in the context of a clear political horizon for the Palestinian people towards a state of their own led by a revitalized Palestinian Authority".At Saturday's briefing, Mr Netanyahu praised the release of 110 Israeli hostages - women and children - as well as some foreigners."Welcome back from hell," Mr Netanyahu said.The hostages were released in exchange for the freeing of 240 Palestinian prisoners - women and teenagers. Most of the about 140 captives remaining in Gaza are men and military personnel.More on Israel-Gaza warFollow live: Latest updatesHostages: Wounded festival-goer in Hamas video freedPrisoners: Released Palestinians allege abuse in Israeli jailsExplained: Who are the hostages released from Gaza?In Gaza: How much damage has been done?History behind the story: The Israel-Palestinian conflict

Seahawks' Jamal Adams faces criticism after appearing to insult reporter's wife in social media post
Seattle Seahawks defensive back Jamal Adams is under fire after he appeared to mock a reporter's wife on social media. The exchange began after SNY's Connor Hughes retweeted a video of Adams from Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The video posted to X, the company formerly known as Twitter, showed Adams giving up a crucial touchdown late in the game. The Seahawks ultimately suffered a 41-35 loss to the Cowboys.Hughes wrote "Yikes" on the video in the question and Adams apparently took issue with the remark. Screenshots showed that Adams responded by sharing a zoomed-in picture of Brie, Hughes' wife, with the caption "Yikes" in a now-deleted post to X.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Jamal Adams #33 of the Seattle Seahawks looks on before the game against the Arizona Cardinals at Lumen Field on November 21, 2021 in Seattle, Washington.

"Jamal Adams left New York 3 years ago as an immature loser. Nothing has changed 3 years later. Garbage," an X user commented.According to his published bio, Hughes primarily covers the New York Jets and New York Giants. The Jets drafted Adams in the first round in 2017. He was traded to the Seahawks in 2020.Another user criticized Adams for "taking cheap shots.""Taking cheap shots at people doesn't change the fact that he's been a disaster with the Seahawks and the Jets have been a better defense without him," the X user wrote.

It’s all "business is business," until it’s not. So understand, players are real people too."Another X user accused Adams of "doubling down on it," prompting NFL star to respond by giving credit to Dallas Cowboys safety Jake Ferguson."I ain’t doubling down on nothin. I stand 10 toes with it. Bro made a helluva adjustment on the ball last night and made a play. Salute. It’s the NFL," Adams wrote.

Former Gambino underboss Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano spoke out to FOX News following the latest bombshell report in the Biden family influence peddling investigation.Gravano appeared on "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Thursday after a bank investigator tasked with detecting money laundering flagged "unusual" and "erratic" activity in regard to several large-sum wire transfers to accounts belonging to Hunter Biden.A Bank Secrecy Act manager for one institution said the payments therein didn't appear to match with "any services rendered" by Owasco P.C., an entity controlled by the current first son. "That's bank lingo for ‘bribe’," host Jesse Watters claimed prior to introducing Gravano.MONEY LAUNDERING INVESTIGATOR WARNED OF HUNTER BIDEN'S ‘UNUSUAL, ERRATIC’ PAYMENTS FROM CHINA IN 2018 Sammy the Bull Gravano (FOX News/Jesse Watters Primetime)Watters added that the bank investigator finished his report by saying activity on the account appears "unusual and with no current business purpose and may require reevaluation of the bank's relationship with the customer," which the host said is "bank lingo for ‘the Chinese are bribing the [then]-vice president’s family and we should tell them to bank somewhere else'."In response, Gravano – who served time for racketeering and became a government witness against boss John Gotti – called Watters' rendition of the reports "incredible.""It's mind-blowing. I don't understand how the country is just sitting back listening to these things and no action is being taken," Gravano said, adding other people might receive "22 lifetime sentences for this kind of stuff."Gravano said it is brave to speak openly and honestly about such topics, adding he is sure there are honest people working within the bureaucracy who may also want to speak out against alleged corruption but cannot.JOE BIDEN RECEIVED $40K IN 'LAUNDERED CHINA MONEY' FROM BROTHER IN 2017, COMER SAYS"Without a doubt," he said. "I cooperated years ago. Everybody knows it – with the FBI, the federal government, some prosecutors, John Gleeson and different judges. And they were so honest. It was unbelievable. I was proud to be with them for a while. I'm still friends with a lot of them."And some of them tell me, 'Sammy, I spent my whole life in the FBI. I'm embarrassed to tell somebody I'm an FBI agent. And I said, Don't feel like that. Just get out. Speak. Talk against it. Do something'.""I fight for a lot of things. The open borders, poor people pouring in there, invading our country by the million… and we do nothing at all,: Gravano added.As a veteran, Gravano said, he feels bad forthose who served in the military and return to see the government allegedly operating in this way."Everything they gave for us, and we're sitting back and doing absolutely nothing. I don't care how much power they got on their side. We have the people. The people are the power. If we don't talk, if we don't say something, then we're part of it," he said.CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPWatters asked whether Gravano was essentially saying that he is now witnessing things in the federal government that reminded him of his past life in the mob."We did things – I don't even want to compare. We're like choirboys compared to these people," the former mobster claimed. He added that by contrast, an unspoken rule of the underworld was to always protect the public.Gravano said in that regard that New York was often safer when the mafia was in control of the streets – and that overall the city and cities like it have declined under a rise in unrest and discontentment, viewing the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting as a once-venerated event that has now been tinged by politicized riots.FOX News' Brooke Singman contributed to this report.
