Sports Digest: Dolphins will start Tyler Huntley at quarterback

FOOTBALL The Miami Dolphins will turn to Tyler Huntley at quarterback when they face the Tennessee Titans on Monday night.

BASKETBALL NBA: The Minnesota Timberwolves are sending Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks in exchange for Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo and a first-round draft pick in a franchise-altering deal for both sides, a person with knowledge of the deal said Friday night.

Towns, a four-time All-Star entering his 10th season whos one of the best outside shooting big men in the NBA, never hinted at any discontent with the team that drafted him first overall in 2015 despite several lean years preceding the run to the Western Conference finals last spring.

Bell turned a blistering, balanced lap of 179.336 mph in the pole shootout.

That put him on the front row for Sundays race with Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Ty Gibbs, who was eliminated from the postseason a week ago.

Tyler Reddick, the defending Kansas playoff race winner, will start third alongside Kyle Busch, the only other non-playoff driver to advance through the first round of qualifying.

Reddick held off Denny Hamlin to win in overtime last fall.

TENNIS DOPING: Top-ranked tennis player Jannik Sinner said he was very disappointed and also surprised after a decision to clear him of wrongdoing following two positive drug tests was appealed by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

The Montreal-based body known as WADA announced that it is seeking a ban of one to two years for the U.S.

Open champion but indicated that it does not plan to backdate an eventual suspension which would mean that Sinner could keep his second Grand Slam title even if he is found guilty.

The appeal to the Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) means that the case might not be resolved before Sinner begins defense of his Australian Open title in January.

Sinner can continue playing while the appeal is being heard.
