Afterward, Denzel Valentine dubbed Simmons mini-LeBron.Heres what else was buzzing around the third day of Las Vegas Summer League:Vegas Summer League buzz: Day 2Vegas Summer League buzz: Day 1Michael Beasley: elder statesman?Michael Beasley is entering his ninth season in the NBA, but the former No. 2 pick is still taking part in summer league with the Rockets, after joining Houston for 20 regular-season games plus the playoffs last year. Now 27, Beasley said seeing guys who are 18 and 19 coming into the league makes him feel a bit old, and sometimes he finds himself in an unlikely mentorship role.Guys like Montrezl [Harrell], I see a lot of myself in him, Beasley said after not playing in Houstons second summer league game in Las Vegas. Loud, sometimes obnoxious, misunderstood guy, just a vibrant, fun player to be around. ... You live, you learn, you see young players, and I try to give them a little bit of what I learned and what Ive been through. -- Adam Reisinger, ESPNDunn comes ready-made?Fridays most interesting matchup was Kris Dunn vs. Emmanuel Mudiay. Since then, Ive been polling NBA personnel about who theyd rather have. So far the consensus favors Dunn because of his superior defense. One scout noted that everything he wants Mudiay to do, Dunn already does. That might be a function of age -- Dunn is almost exactly two years older -- but for now Dunn has the upper hand. -- Kevin Pelton, ESPN InsiderTraining day for DenzelAs Valentine spoke to reporters after the Bulls-Sixers game on Sunday night, Simmons walked past the small scrum with a little message.Denzel said he was scared of me out there, Simmons said with a bit of a smile. Valentine and the assorted media started chuckling. The two have gotten to know each other a little bit over time and the Michigan State alumnus certainly isnt afraid of the spotlight that comes with playing against the No. 1 pick.You got to have poise out there because youre going to be playing against great players every night, Valentine said. You cant get too high or get too low. Just kind of got to stay level through all the good and the bad. I feel like thats how you get better -- is consistency. So I just try to stay poised. -- Nick Friedell, ESPNTrusting the process from afarSimmons star-in-the-making potential has been the buzz of summer league, and although he may not have drafted him, Sam Hinkie is among those in attendance enjoying the atmosphere. Former GM Hinkie set upon an ambitious plan to tear down the Sixers and build a contender around a star from the draft.Hinkie stepped down just three months ago, but his labor looks to have borne fruit as Simmons dazzles in the desert. -- Andrew Han, ESPNAccelerated growth for Miamis youthMiamis Briante Weber on the impact of Dwyane Wades departure on the Heats Justise Winslow and Josh Richardson: Us young guys, we are trying to learn as much as we can from the legends like D-Wade and [Chris Bosh]. Just by him leaving, it took a lot out of us just because we dont really know what to expect. Ive only played 10 games in the NBA, JRich has played about 80 and Justise played the whole season, but we really only have about two years combined under us. With D-Wade leaving, we lost like 13 years of experience which we were trying to use and piggyback off. It looks like we are going to have to grow up faster than we thought. -- Ohm Youngmisuk, ESPN Josh Gray Pelicans Jersey . - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is not a fan of his teams use of the wildcat formation, saying "it makes you look like a high school offence.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The NFL suspended Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson for 10 games for what the players agent tells The Associated Press stems from his client using marijuana to relieve the effects of Crohns disease.The Bills announced the league notified them on Tuesday of Hendersons suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy.Its Hendersons second suspension this year after he served a four-game ban to start the season.Hendersons agent, Brian Fettner, called the leagues decision heartbreaking, and added he cannot appeal the suspension because the NFL doesnt allow an exemption for medical marijuana use.His situation is unique, but the drug policy doesnt line up with the uniqueness. Its disappointing, Fettner said.The reality is, the NFLs position has been if you need medical marijuana then youre too sick to play, he added. But thats just not the case for Seantrel Henderson.Henderson will sit out the final five games of the season, and the suspension will carry on either into the playoffs or next season.Buffalo (6-5) plays at Oakland (9-2) on Sunday.The Bills also made several roster moves by placing defensive tackle Corbin Bryant and receiver Walt Powell on the season-ending injured reserve list. Bryant has missed three games with a shoulder injury, and Powell hurt his left ankle in a 28-21 win against Jacksonville on Sunday.Buffalo filled the two roster spots by promoting defensive tackle Deandre Coleman and receiver Dezmin Lewis from the practice squad.Henderson was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease a year ago and had two operations on his intestines last offseason. Doctors removed a section of diseased tissue in January, and Henderson then had his intestines reattached in April.ddddddddddddeveral studies have found marijuana can be an effective treatment for Crohns. In New York, the states medical marijuana program specifically lists patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease as being potentially eligible to obtain medical marijuana.Henderson previously acknowledged testing positive for the drug at the NFL combine in 2014 and said positive tests led to him being suspended several times in college.His only appearance this season came against Cincinnati on Nov. 20, and he was inactive against Jacksonville last weekend.Henderson was excused from practice last week to attend to the birth of son, Seantrel Jr.Buffalo selected Henderson in the seventh round of the 2014 draft out of the University of Miami. He earned the starting job at right tackle as a rookie and started 26 games before being diagnosed with the disease.Fettner called the NFLs reasoning to ban marijuana murky because it is legal in numerous states across America. He also questioned why the league doesnt consider marijuana to be an effective treatment in certain cases.Theyll give you painkillers by the bottle, which are far, far worse than cannabis, Fettner said. For some reason, the NFL isnt there yet.He said Henderson hasnt given up on continuing his playing career, but acknowledged his client faces a weighty decision.The reality of it is, its a question of personal wealth and pain management, Fettner said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
