EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that New York Giants safety Will Hill is facing a possible third suspension for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy. The person, who requested anonymity because the allegations have not been publicly disclosed, confirmed Monday that Hill failed another drug test. Teams and the league do not discuss such allegations because players have a right to privacy under the leagues drug policy. A message seeking comment was left with Hills agent. Fox Sports and the Star-Ledger of Newark were the first to report that the talented but troubled 24-year-old Hill failed another drug test. Hill could face a suspension of six games to a year depending on what the tests showed. Hill was suspended for the first four games of the 2012 season for using a performance-enhancing drug, which he said was Adderall. He was suspended for the first four games last season for using marijuana, which he said was to relieve stress. The East Orange native underwent drug rehabilitation in March and April in Boston last year, and followed up that with outpatient meetings in New Jersey. Hill started 10 of 12 games last season. He made 77 tackles, intercepted two passes, returning one for a touchdown, forced two fumbles and recovered another. "It could be a big deal, because hes a big part of this defence," defensive end Jean Pierre-Paul said after organized team activities on Tuesday. "But we have other guys who can fill in for him." The preseason depth chart had Hill starting at safety with Antrel Rolle. There is depth in the unit with Stevie Brown back after missing last season with a knee injury and Quintin Demps signed as a free agent after making six starts for the Kansas City Chiefs. Rolle said he treats Hill "like a little brother." "Its always tough when you hear news like this," Rolle said. "Will Hill is a great guy and a great teammate. Hes a phenomenal talent. My concern is for him as a person, not as a football player. I am going to support him, keep his spirits up and hope that all of this is nothing. We dont know whats going to happen. Well see." Meanwhile, quarterback Eli Manning said hell be ready for training camp after recent ankle surgery. Offensive lineman Chris Snee said hes recovered from off-season hip, knee and elbow surgery.

The Knicks have dropped six straight and Charlottes woes have reached 10 consecutive games. New York fell to LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night, 90-87, at Madison Square Garden. The Cavs avenged an opening- night loss to the Knicks with the win. The Knicks led through much of the second half, but James scored five in a row to give Cleveland the lead. Irving hit a tough lefty layup for a three-point lead. The Knicks went to a Carmelo Anthony isolation on the games final possession. Anthony shook James and shot a 3-pointer from the right wing, but it was just off the mark. Iman Shumpert tipped the rebound out to Jose Calderon, who hit a 3-pointer a full second after the final buzzer. Its tough, but thats what were pros for, said guard Tim Hardaway, Jr. We just have to continue to keep fighting, keep grinding. All we can do is go up. Hardaway paced the Knicks with 20 points off the bench. Amare Stoudemire had 18 and Quincy Acy scored a career-high 15 in New Yorks third straight home setback. Anthony shot just 4-for-19 for nine points. The Knicks return home on Sunday then hit the road for three more. The Hornets havent tasted victory since a road wwin in Phoenix on Nov.dddddddddddd 14. Their last home win came against the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 7, a span of six games. On Wednesday, Charlotte fell at home to the Chicago Bulls, 102-95, and that game came just one night after the Bulls went two overtimes in a loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Charlotte received 23 points from Kemba Walker and 20 out of Lance Stephenson, but was badly outshot by the Bulls from the perimeter. The Hornets hit just 2- of-15 attempts from 3-point range, compared to a 12-of-28 mark for Chicago. The obvious difference in this game was 3-point shooting, said Hornets head coach Steve Clifford. We played hard, we did some good things, but we didnt do enough to win. Al Jefferson had 13 points in the defeat while Cody Zeller managed 12. Gerald Henderson completed the double-digit scorers for the Hornets with 10 points. Forward Marvin Williams returned for the Hornets after missing two straight games with a strained shoulder. He came off the bench and scored six points in 24:44. Gary Neal is questionable with a left shoulder sprain. Charlottes last 10-game losing streak came from Feb. 20-March 9, 2013. Earlier that season, the Hornets lost 18 in a row. The Knicks bested the Hornets by three in MSG on Nov. 2. New York has lost two of its last three in Charlotte, but has won four of its past six on the road in this series. ' ' '
