Sunday for the loss against the Miami Dolphins,

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke finally had all the players that made the Blue Devils the top-ranked team in the preseason -- except that, for most of the night, they didnt play like it.Luke Kennard scored 24 points and No. 5 Duke beat Tennessee State 65-55 on Monday in the college debut of touted freshman Harry Giles.Freshman forward Jayson Tatum added 14 points and Grayson Allen finished with 12 for the Blue Devils (11-1), who plodded through 30 mostly sluggish minutes before pulling away from a pesky Tigers team that threatened to spoil a big night for Giles.This game was a learning experience for us, Kennard said. We cant take anything for granted. Weve got to play each and every game like its the biggest game of the year. ... I just dont think we were really ready to play. ... Our energy wasnt there, our enthusiasm wasnt there, and we just didnt really have one guy thats bringing us all the energy, and we really needed that tonight.Tennessee State led 36-34 on Wayne Martins jumper with 15 minutes left. Duke countered with a 25-3 run highlighted by five 3-pointers -- including two by Kennard on consecutive possessions after he was left completely unguarded -- to take a 59-39 lead.Darreon Reddick and Tahjere McCall scored 14 points apiece for the Tigers (8-3).Amile Jefferson had a career-best 18 rebounds for Duke, which finally got Giles on the floor for the first time. One of the nations top recruits, he missed his senior season in high school with torn knee ligaments in his right knee and then missed the first 11 games at Duke after having his left knee scoped in October.First game, that was just shaking the rust off and getting the kinks out, Giles said. I think each day, each game, each practice, Ill get better.BIG PICTURETennessee State: This was the second time in nine days that the Tigers threw a scare into the host team at an historic Atlantic Coast Conference venue, after taking North Carolina State to overtime in the Wolfpacks first game at renovated Reynolds Coliseum. Tennessee States three losses have all come on the road against Power 5 programs, with the other defeat coming at Vanderbilt.Hopefully, we realized that if we play as a team, we currently feel like we can play with anybody in the country, but we need to try to get to the point where we can consistently beat high-level teams, coach Dana Ford said.Duke: The impact of Giles return went far beyond his meager line in the boxscore -- no points, no rebounds, and 0-for-1 shooting in 4 first-half minutes. For the first time, the Blue Devils had the full complement of star freshmen that made them No. 1 in the preseason polls.But Duke shot a season-worst 37 percent and finished just 19 of 32 from the free throw line while establishing a season-low scoring total by 10 points. The previous low was 75, both in the loss to Kansas and the win against Rhode Island.Were in October, not December, with our team, coach Mike Krzyzewski said.STAT SHEETKennard has scored 20 or more points in four of his last five games. ... Jefferson was averaging 17.8 points and 12.3 rebounds during his last four games. His rebounding numbers went up but his scoring numbers fell -- he finished with five points on 2-of-7 shooting and was just 1 for 8 from the foul line.HARRY CHRISTMASAll eyes were on Giles, who made his long-awaited Duke debut when he checked in during a timeout with 11:27 left in the first half with the crowd chanting his first name. Those chants died down, then picked back up when the Blue Devils broke the huddle. He clearly isnt in game shape yet, and his only shot -- a jumper from the right wing over KenDarrius Hamilton in his first 15 seconds on the floor -- was way too strong.UP NEXTTennessee State: The Tigers have eight days before their next game, a home date with Division III Covenant on Dec. 27.Duke: The Blue Devils play Elon on Wednesday night at the Greensboro Coliseum.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Former Pro Bowl left tackle Ryan Clady, one of the New York Jets key offseason acquisitions, was placed on injured reserve Wednesday with a torn rotator cuff. It ends his season and likely his Jets career.Perhaps looking for a spark, the Jets (3-6) made a series of roster moves, including the release of disappointing defensive end Jarvis Jenkins.They also activated former second-round wide receiver Devin Smith from the physically unable to perform list and signed defensive lineman Anthony Johnson from the New England Patriots practice squad.He was pretty much playing out there with one arm and it wasnt getting any better, coach Todd Bowles said of Clady. It became weaker, as a matter of fact, and we had to put him down.Anthony has been a guy weve been looking at for a little while, said Bowles, explaining the decision to swap defensive lineman. We tried to upgrade with that.Clady had been battling the injury for a few weeks. He dressed Sunday for the loss against the Miami Dolphins, but he didnt play a single snap. He was replaced by Ben Ijalana, who was informed last week hed be the left tackle for the remainder of the season.The Jets traded for the oft-injured Clady in April after the sudden retirement of DBrickashaw Ferguson, one of the most durable players in franchise history. He didnt miss a single game or practice in his 10-year career.ddddddddddddThey traded a fifth-round pick to the Denver Broncos, receiving a seventh-rounder in return, hoping that Clady, 30, could shake off his injury problems. He missed 30 of 48 games from 2013 to 2015 due to knee and foot injuries.As it turned out, he couldnt stay healthy. He lasted only eight games, performing at only a mediocre level. His contract includes an option for 2017, but the cap charge is $10 million, meaning its highly unlikely hell be back.The Jets signed Jenkins to a two-year, $6 million contract in free agency (including $3 million guaranteed), expecting him to be a key backup in their defensive-line rotation. That didnt happen.Jenkins played only 115 defensive snaps in nine games, registering only 10 tackles and no sacks. He started last week because regulars Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson were benched for the first quarter due to disciplinary reasons.The Jets had to activate Smith this week or else he wouldve gone on injured reserve, ending his season. His rookie season was washed out by injuries, including an ACL tear in December. He caught nine passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. He likely will be active Sunday against the Los Angeles. ' ' '
