Five creditors, who say that they are among those owed more than $14 million by former Duke star Christian Laettner, filed papers last week to try to get him to voluntarily file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.Laettner has until July 19 to respond. If he doesnt pay the debt or make some negotiated arrangement, the creditors could take possession of his property for their benefit.One of Laettners lawyers, Hassan Zavareei, told ESPN.com on Wednesday that a recent payday of approximately $10 million to Laettners real estate firm, Blue Devil Ventures, could potentially be directed to satisfy those creditors.Some of the largest creditors are pro athletes, including?Carolina Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart, owed $3.62 million and former NFL linebacker Ernest Sims, who is owed $1.48 million.Laettner and former Duke teammate and roommate Brian Davis founded Blue Devil Ventures in 1995. In December 2005, the company bought seven buildings in Durham to start a downtown mixed use revitalization project. The project was expected to cost $160 million, but Blue Devil Ventures sold most of the project to two developers by 2013 before it was flipped this February for $187 million. They still had an interest worth about $10 million when the sale went through.In the past, Laettners real estate firm was ordered by the courts to pay back $3.7 million to former NFL defensive end Shawne Merriman for a property investment gone bad. Davis and Laettner also were ordered to pay former?Chicago Bulls?star Scottie Pippen $2.5 million as a result of failure to repay a loan Pippen made to them in their futile attempt to buy the?Memphis Grizzlies.?The?two also were forced to pay back former Duke player and current Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins in the amount of $671,309.After leading Duke to two championships in 1991 and 1992, Laettner made $61.5 million in his NBA career. He was served with a notice of foreclosure on his house in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, in March of last year, and the house was sold in October, records show. Johnny Boychuk Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.

CHICAGO -- Matt Barkley had a quick chat with his old coach after picking up his first career victory.It was a sweet moment for a veteran quarterback -- and not just because it came against Chip Kelly.Were on good terms, Barkley said. Im grateful for the fact that he brought me into this league. No hard feelings at all.Barkley shook off a slow start to throw for 192 yards, Jordan Howard ran for 117 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, and the Chicago Bears handed San Francisco its 11th straight loss, beating the 49ers 26-6 on a snowy Sunday.The 49ers (1-11) extended their franchise-record losing streak and set a club low with 6 yards net passing on a day when Colin Kaepernick got lifted for Blaine Gabbert.The Bears (3-9) finished with a season high in points and picked up a rare win in a matchup between two of the NFLs worst teams.Here are some things to know about the 49ers and Bears:CONFIDENT QB: Barkley has not played much in the NFL. But hes taking advantage of his opportunity with Jay Cutler out for the remainder of the season because of a shoulder injury and backup Brian Hoyer on injured reserve.Barkley led a late comeback that ultimately fell short in last weeks loss to Tennessee. He got off to a rough start in this one, going nearly the entire first half without a completion. But he adjusted his arm angle because of the conditions, led a touchdown drive near the end of the second quarter and finished 11 of 18 without an interception.I thought he improved, coach John Fox said.It was a decent showing by a quarterback who was drafted by Philadelphia in 2013 when Kelly was coaching the Eagles. Barkley wasnt a great fit for Kellys offense because he lacks mobility, and he wound up getting dealt to Arizona in 2015.Now, his confidence is soaring.Probably at an all-time high in this league, Barkley said. Just knowing that I can play, that we can make plays as an offense.QUARTERBACK CHANGE: The 49ers benched Kaepernick for Gabbert early in the fourth quarter. Whether that was a temporary switch or a more long-terrm move isnt clear.ddddddddddddThe 49ers play the New York Jets next week, and Kelly wasnt about to tip his hand.Kaepernick, meanwhile, said the switch caught him off guard.Its not my place to really argue on the sideline, said Kaepernick, who found out from quarterbacks coach Ryan Day. I want to make sure I do what I can to help this team win and that was the decision that was made so I am going to support my teammates.Kaepernick completed just 1 of 5 passes for 4 yards and was sacked five times. He also ran for 20 yards on six attempts before Gabbert replaced him in the fourth quarter.Gabbert was 4 of 10 for 35 yards and sacked for a safety near the end of the game.DRAFT BOARD: If there was one positive for the 49ers, its that they gave their odds of landing the No. 2 draft pick a boost. They also remain in the running for the No. 1 spot. Only the winless Browns have a worse record.STINGY DEFENSE: Despite a long line of injuries and inconsistent play, the Bears defense has ranked among the top half in the NFL all season. And against the struggling 49ers, that group was nothing short of dominant.The Bears got six sacks -- two each from Leonard Floyd and Akiem Hicks -- and gave up their lowest point total since a 41-3 romp over Jacksonville on Oct. 7, 2012.RUNNING WITH IT: Howard continues to impress as a rookie.The fifth-round draft pick out of Indiana has five 100-yard games and his three rushing TDs tied for the second most by a Bears rookie in a game. Willie Galimore (1957) and Rashaan Salaam (1995) also did it. The only Bears rookie to rush for more in a game was Hall of Famer Gale Sayers in 1965.Howard, who came in with two rushing touchdowns, scored on a 1-yard run near the end of the first half. He added a 2-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the third and a 5-yard run midway through the quarter.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
