Heat’s Bam Adebayo trolls Jimmy Butler after win over Warriors
On Wednesday evening, the Miami Heat improved to 9-6 on the young 2025-26 NBA season with a comfortable home win over the Golden State Warriors. Golden State essentially threw in the towel on this game from the jump, sitting Stephen Curry, Draymond Green,
While Butler's Miami run had some iconic moments and two NBA Finals runs, it ended in ugly fashion, after Butler claimed that his joy was gone, ultimately resulting in a trade to the Warriors.
After the game on Wednesday, Heat center Bam Adebayo did some elite trolling of Butler in the postgame locker room.
(per Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press on X, formerly Twitter).
The Heat as a whole have not exactly been great since Butler left, losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round last year in what was the most lopsided playoff series in NBA history.
However, they've looked decent so far in the 2025-26 season, at least in their home games, with Erik Spoelstra taking steps to modernize a prehistoric NBA offense by shooting more threes and playing with more pace.
Adebayo himself has turned himself into a competent shooter from beyond the arc, while retaining the defensive versatility and rim presence that made him such a special player to begin with.
At 9-6, the Heat are firmly in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference playoff picture at this early juncture of the season, and as some of their younger players continue to improve, it's not off the table that they could make a run at one of the higher seeds in the conference, depending on how things shake out with other teams.
The Heat will next take the floor on Friday evening on the road against the Chicago Bulls in a rematch of the last three years' play-in games between the two teams.
BREAKING: D.J. Moore and His Wife Shock America After Announcing They Will Adopt 10 Orphans
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — In one of the most emotionally powerful and inspiring stories the NFL has seen this year,
adopt 10 orphans, offering each child what they have never truly had before — a permanent home filled with love, stability, and real family.
“We saw kids who had no one,” Moore said in an exclusive interview. “My wife and I just looked at each other and knew — if we can change their lives, even for ten of them, that’s something we must do.”
The children, ranging in age from 3 to 12, come from heartbreaking and difficult circumstances. Some had been abandoned, others spent years bouncing through the foster care system, and several had endured homelessness and traumatic experiences.
Financially, supporting 10 children — estimated at more than $1 million annually — is an enormous commitment, but Moore made it clear:
“Money isn’t the value. Love is. Stability is. Giving these kids a chance — that’s priceless.”
One emotional moment has already captured the hearts of millions:
7-year-old Lucas, previously living in a New Jersey orphanage, broke down in tears when he first entered the Moore family home.
“I’ve never had my own room before… and now I have toys, books, and Bears posters everywhere,” Lucas said, voice trembling — a moment that brought Moore, his wife, and volunteers to tears.
Moore Builds a Full Support System — Education, Sports, and Healing
D.J. Moore and his wife didn’t stop at adoption. They built an entire development program inside their home:
-
Personalized at-home education
-
Daily fitness and sports routines
-
Football fundamentals and teamwork lessons guided by Moore
-
Trauma-informed therapy and mental-health support
-
Life-skills classes to build confidence and independence
Moore’s wife explained the purpose beautifully:
“We want them to feel safe, loved, supported, and believed in — every single day. That’s what a real family gives you.”
Bears Fans Call D.J. Moore ‘A Hero On and Off the Field’
Within minutes of the announcement, Chicago fans flooded social media with emotional reactions:
“This is why we love D.J. Moore. He isn’t just a playmaker — he’s a true leader and a hero in real life.”
Even outside Chicago, NFL players, analysts, and fans praised Moore’s gesture as one of the most inspiring acts of kindness by an athlete this year.
D.J. Moore’s Final Message Leaves America in Tears
Before ending the interview, Moore shared a message that instantly went viral nationwide:
“You’re not alone anymore. You have a family now — forever. No matter what comes your way, we’ll be with you. You deserve love, hope, and a future filled with joy.”
A Story Bigger Than Football
This incredible act is already being recognized as one of the most beautiful philanthropic moments in modern sports, showing that D.J. Moore’s greatness goes beyond the football field.
Ten children now have a life filled with stability, warmth, opportunity, and unconditional love — all because one NFL star and his wife chose to open their home and their hearts.
The NFL fined Texans defensive end DeMarcus Walker following a penalty in the game against the Buffalo Bills, a decision that stirred debate about consistency in officiating
During the Houston Texans’ “Thursday Night Football” battle against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, quarterback Davis Mills scrambled on a broken play. Even though the whistle blew on the play, the league could have something to say about it.
Mills and the Texans’ offense started slowly, but they eventually found their rhythm to take a 10-9 lead in the first half.
Moreover, he shook off a play that could have spelled bad news for the Texans.
Davis Mills Forces Deone Walker Into Potentially Costly Decision During Bills-Texans
The play occurred during the second quarter, the Texans’ first possession of the frame and their fourth of the game. Mills went to hand the ball off to running back Woody Marks, but the rookie went in the opposite direction.
Instead of handing it off, Mills took it himself, gaining 5 yards on the play but having it wiped out in favor of a 15-yard facemask penalty on Bills defensive tackle Deone Walker.
That penalty will most likely cost Walker.
The NFL releases a list of player fines for infractions during the previous week’s slate of games. That includes plays that did not draw flags during the contests in which they occurred. There is also a list of baseline fines players can expect for incurring various penalties.
According to the NFL Football Operations portal, the fine for a facemask is $11,593 for the first infraction and $17,389 on the second.
Walker, the 109th overall pick of the 2025 draft, avoided incurring any fines for 11 weeks.
He had also avoided getting flagged, doubling up in Week 12 against the Texans, who took a 20-16 lead into halftime.
C.J. Stroud Expected Back for Texans in Week 13
Mills completed 11 of 21 passes for 122 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions to give the Texans the first-half lead. He entered the game having led the Texans to back-to-back wins, defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans.
Defeating the Bills would be quite the statement from the 2021 third-round pick. However, Mills’ efforts could all be for not as far as being the Texans’ QB is concerned.
Typical starter C.J. Stroud is expected back from concussion protocol in Week 13.
“Had the game been on Sunday instead of Thursday, C.J. Stroud likely would have played,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on “TNF Prime” on November 20. “He’s doing well. He is expected to be on the sidelines tonight. Just not enough time to be cleared for this one.”
The Texans will visit the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13, in a game that could hold even more weight when the two teams meet again in Week 18 in Houston.
Davis Mills Could Draw Trade Interest This Offseason
Mills entered Thursday’s tilt having thrown for 563 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT on 61.6% completion in Stroud’s place as the Texans’ starter. The No. 67 overall pick of the 2021 draft, Mills is also signed through the 2026 season after inking a on
