It's not just English football where transfer deadline day is a big deal - American basketball is going through the same whirlwind of rumours, announcements, and pure speculation that traditionally accompanies it.
Today was that big day, and with the National Basketball Association's (NBA) trade deadline set at 3pm EST today (8pm GMT), some last minute-moves have been made.
And one of those last-minute transfers was Ben Simmons, the 'fiance' of Bristol-born TV presenter, Maya Jama.

Maya was spotted sporting a £600k engagement ring over Christmas, and rumours quickly swirled that she was engaged to Ben Simmons.
The pair are reportedly due to wed following a Christmas spent in Ben's £3.7million mansion in Moorestown, New Jersey, and it is believed Maya could be moving stateside following the wedding.
It is unknown how long the couple have been official for, but they were first romantically linked in June 2021, after they were seen out at Sexy Fish, a swanky Asian restaurant in London.
On New Year's Eve, Maya fuelled rumours that she may be heading stateside in the future, whilst out with her friends celebrating.
In a video shared to Instagram, the star was partying in the States when a woman with an American accent asked if she was going to be 'moving here', to which she replied 'Um, maybe!'.
Up until now, Ben played for the Philadelphia 76ers, where he was reportedly not happy after not playing at all this season.
He had demanded to be traded, reportedly due to mental health issues and an inability to work with a teammate, and it appears that that demand has been honoured.
Ben will now play for the Brooklyn Nets and ESPN reports that he is "thrilled" with the transfer.
That means that, if the rumours are true that Ben and Maya are engaged and she is moving Stateside, she could end up living it up in the Big Apple.
Maya started dating Ben following her split from Stormzy in 2019, and she was one of the presenters at the Brit Awards 2022 after Jack Whitehall stepped down, breaking Twitter with a stunning selfie before the show.
