Friday on Sports Day(Watch)

By Ronald Blum NEW YORK (AP) — Nine Major League Baseball teams have terminated their deals with the FanDuel Sports Network to carry their local broadcasts, and Commissioner Rob Manfred said MLB is prepared to produce and distribute the telecasts.

Main Street Sports Group, which operates the FanDuel networks, did not make its December payment to the St. Louis Cardinals. It also carries games of Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Kansas City, the Los Angeles Angels, Miami, Milwaukee and Tampa Bay, along with 13 teams in the NBA and seven in the NHL.

The termination by the MLB teams was confirmed to The Associated Press by a person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the decisions had not been announced.

“No matter what happens, whether it’s Main Street, a third party or MLB media, fans are going to have the games,” Manfred said Thursday.

Teams that terminated their contracts could reach new deals with Main Street, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

MLB took over broadcasts for San Diego in May 2023&nbsp;after Diamond Sports Group missed a payment to the Padres and&nbsp;added Arizona that July.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Colorado joined MLB’s distribution in 2024, and Cleveland and Minnesota in 2025. Seattle is being added this season and possibly Washington, which is leaving the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network.

Diamond was renamed Main Street Sports Group as it emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings last year and its&nbsp;networks were rebranded as FanDuel.

“Our focus, particularly given the point in the calendar, is to maximize the revenue that’s available to the clubs, whether that’s MLB Media or third party,” Manfred said. “The clubs have control over the timing. They can make a decision to move to MLB Media because of the contractual status now. I think that what’s happening right now clubs are evaluating their alternatives. Obviously they’ve made significant payroll commitments already and they’re evaluating the alternatives to find the best revenue source for the year and the best outlet in terms of providing quality broadcasts to their fans.”

Manfred said local media provides more than 20% of industry revenue.

MLB and the players’ association for 2024 allowed discretionary fund distributions of up to $15 million each to teams whose local media revenue had declined since 2022 or 2023, but they did not reach a similar agreement for 2025.

“We are not providing financial assistance right now,” Manfred said.

Manfred spoke at a news conference to announce an initiative that includes Foster Love and envisions 250,000 volunteer hours to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. At the news conference, MLB staff assembled duffel bags with goods for foster care children.

Arizona State hosts Kansas State following Johnson's 24-point performance

LAWRENCE, Kan. –&nbsp;Kansas freshman&nbsp;Darryn Peterson&nbsp;has been named to the John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 Watch List, the Los Angeles Athletic Club announced today, launching the 50th anniversary of the individual honor.&nbsp; 

Peterson is vying to become the third Kansas men's basketball player to earn the Wooden Award, joining Danning Manning in 1988 and Frank Mason III in 2017.&nbsp; 

On most every preseason All-America team and preseason national player of&nbsp;watch lists, Peterson is coming off a career-high 32 points in Kansas' 104-100 overtime win against TCU on Tuesday. Peterson's 32 points against the Horned Frogs followed at 26-point effort at UCF (Jan. 3). The Canton, Ohio, guard leads Kansas with a 22.5 scoring average and Peterson has made 19 threes in six games played this season.&nbsp; 

Peterson's 32-point performance versus TCU is the fourth highest point total by a Kansas freshman in the&nbsp;Bill Self&nbsp;era (since 2003-04) trailing only – 1. Andrew Wiggins (41 at West Virginia, 3.8.14); 2. Ben McLemore (36 vs. West Virginia, 3.2.13); 3. Ben McLemore (33 vs. Iowa State, 1.9.13).&nbsp; 

The players on the list are considered strong candidates for the 2026 John R. Wooden Award Men's Player of the Year. Players not selected for the list remain eligible for inclusion on the Wooden Award late-season list, and the National Ballot. The National Ballot will feature 15 top players who have demonstrated to their universities that they meet or exceed the Wooden Award qualifications.

Celebrating its 50th year, the Wooden Award will feature special programming throughout the season with first winner and ambassador Marques Johnson, culminating in the 2026 John R. Wooden Award presented by Principal. Winners and All-Americans will be honored at the Los Angeles Athletic Club on Friday, April 10, 2026.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Miami will head back home for a shot at its first national championship since 2001 after beating Mississippi 31-27 in an exhilarating College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl. Carson Beck scrambled for a 3-yard touchdown with 18 seconds left for the go-ahead score. He threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. Trinidad Chambliss had put Ole Miss ahead with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Dae'Quan Wright with 3:13 left. The 10th-ranked Hurricanes didn't play in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game but proved they belong in the CFP. They will face either top-ranked Indiana or Oregon for the national title.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Mario Cristobal is taking his Miami Hurricanes to the national championship after the kind of performance that the former offensive lineman had to love. The No. 10 seed Hurricanes dominated the line of scrimmage for the majority of their 31-27 victory over No. 6 Ole Miss on Thursday night in the Fiesta Bowl, racking up an impressive 191 yards rushing as a veteran offensive line spent much of the night steamrolling the Rebels’ defense. Miami’s veteran, massive line has been one of the team’s strengths all season and created some big holes for Mark Fletcher Jr., who ran for 133 yards on 22 carries. The Hurricanes finished with 459 total yards.

While John Harbaugh quickly became the most sought-after head coach this cycle after he was fired by Baltimore, many NFL teams seek the next Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan. The young, up-and-coming coordinators usually get most of attention. With eight openings around the league, there’s plenty of opportunities for rising candidates to emerge. McVay became the youngest coach since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 when the Los Angeles Rams hired him in 2017 at age 30. He’s led them to one Super Bowl title in two appearances, four NFC West championships, seven playoff berths and eight winning seasons in nine years.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins have fired coach Mike McDaniel following a 7-10 season in which Miami missed the playoffs for the second straight year. The decision Thursday ends McDaniel’s four-year tenure in Miami, a period defined by soaring expectations that ultimately went unfulfilled. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said he spoke with McDaniel on Thursday morning to inform him of the decision. The Dolphins went 35-33 under McDaniel, reaching the playoffs in his first two seasons but losing in the first round each time.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — A non-league team against the defending champion. It’s what the FA Cup is all about. Macclesfield, a club playing in the sixth tier of English soccer, hosts Premier League side Crystal Palace on Saturday hoping to pull off a memorable upset. The third round of the FA Cup is one of the most anticipated weekend’s in the sport’s calendar as England’s top clubs enter the draw and can be pitted against lowly opposition. Such a clash of cultures have produced historic giant-killings. So the warning signs are there for Palace as it begins its defense of the trophy it won last May when stunning Manchester City in the final to lift its first major trophy.

TOKYO (AP) — Kazuyoshi Miura, the Japanese soccer player they call “King Kazu,” says he’s only getting better with age. If so, that should make him very, very good. Miura turns 59 next month. He’s the globe’s oldest professional soccer player, and on Friday he gave a news conference in Tokyo to celebrate joining his new team — third-division J-League club Fukushima United FC. Miura says “my passion only grows the more I pursue it.” Miura is moving on loan from Yokohama FC and spent last season on loan with fourth-division club Atletico Suzuka.

College football is facing chaos with players frequently transferring and legal battles over NIL deals. A quarterback recently decided to stay at his school instead of transferring, avoiding a legal dispute. Another player is waiting for NCAA approval to play next season, with a NIL deal at stake. Legal experts say the situation resembles past labor issues in professional sports. Some suggest collective bargaining or employment contracts as solutions. However, these options face significant challenges, including legal complexities and resistance from universities. The NCAA has been lobbying for limited antitrust protection, but progress has stalled in Congress.

ATLANTA (AP) — The College Football Playoff semifinal at the Peach Bowl is a celebration of the Big Ten's strength with No. 1-seed Indiana facing No. 5-seed Oregon. The game is a rematch. Indiana won at Oregon 30-20 on October 11 to hand the Ducks their only loss. Indiana is undefeated. Each team is coming off dominant wins. Indiana overwhelmed Alabama 38-3 in the Rose Bowl as Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza threw three touchdown passes. The Ducks shut out Texas Tech 23-0 in the Orange Bowl. Brandon Finney Jr. had two interceptions and a fumble recovery. The Peach Bowl winner will face Miami for the national title.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Edwards became the third-youngest player in NBA history to reach 10,000 career points when the Minnesota Timberwolves star swished a 13-foot fadeaway jumper from the baseline in the fourth quarter against Cleveland. Edwards at 24 years and 156 days old was beaten to the mark by LeBron James and Kevin Durant. He is one of seven players who’ve hit 10,000 points before age 25. Kobe Bryant, Luka Doncic, Tracy McGrady and Carmelo Anthony are also in that group. Edwards had 25 points, nine assists and seven rebounds as the Timberwolves beat the Cavaliers 131-122.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim says she dislocated her shoulder in training and doesn’t know whether she’ll be able to compete at the Winter Games in Italy next month. Kim posted footage of her fall on the halfpipe in Switzerland, where the world’s top snowboarders compete later this month in a key pre-Olympic tune-up.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Miami will head back home for a shot at its first national championship since 2001 after beating Mississippi 31-27 in an exhilarating College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl. Carson Beck scrambled for a 3-yard touchdown with 18 seconds left for the go-ahead score. He threw for 268 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. Trinidad Chambliss had put Ole Miss ahead with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Dae'Quan Wright with 3:13 left. The 10th-ranked Hurricanes didn't play in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game but proved they belong in the CFP. They will face either top-ranked Indiana or Oregon for the national title.GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Mario Cristobal is taking his Miami Hurricanes to the national championship after the kind of performance that the former offensive lineman had to love. The No. 10 seed Hurricanes dominated the line of scrimmage for the majority of their 31-27 victory over No. 6 Ole Miss on Thursday night in the Fiesta Bowl, racking up an impressive 191 yards rushing as a veteran offensive line spent much of the night steamrolling the Rebels’ defense. Miami’s veteran, massive line has been one of the team’s strengths all season and created some big holes for Mark Fletcher Jr., who ran for 133 yards on 22 carries. The Hurricanes finished with 459 total yards.While John Harbaugh quickly became the most sought-after head coach this cycle after he was fired by Baltimore, many NFL teams seek the next Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan. The young, up-and-coming coordinators usually get most of attention. With eight openings around the league, there’s plenty of opportunities for rising candidates to emerge. McVay became the youngest coach since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 when the Los Angeles Rams hired him in 2017 at age 30. He’s led them to one Super Bowl title in two appearances, four NFC West championships, seven playoff berths and eight winning seasons in nine years.MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins have fired coach Mike McDaniel following a 7-10 season in which Miami missed the playoffs for the second straight year. The decision Thursday ends McDaniel’s four-year tenure in Miami, a period defined by soaring expectations that ultimately went unfulfilled. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said he spoke with McDaniel on Thursday morning to inform him of the decision. The Dolphins went 35-33 under McDaniel, reaching the playoffs in his first two seasons but losing in the first round each time.MANCHESTER, England (AP) — A non-league team against the defending champion. It’s what the FA Cup is all about. Macclesfield, a club playing in the sixth tier of English soccer, hosts Premier League side Crystal Palace on Saturday hoping to pull off a memorable upset. The third round of the FA Cup is one of the most anticipated weekend’s in the sport’s calendar as England’s top clubs enter the draw and can be pitted against lowly opposition. Such a clash of cultures have produced historic giant-killings. So the warning signs are there for Palace as it begins its defense of the trophy it won last May when stunning Manchester City in the final to lift its first major trophy.TOKYO (AP) — Kazuyoshi Miura, the Japanese soccer player they call “King Kazu,” says he’s only getting better with age. If so, that should make him very, very good. Miura turns 59 next month. He’s the globe’s oldest professional soccer player, and on Friday he gave a news conference in Tokyo to celebrate joining his new team — third-division J-League club Fukushima United FC. Miura says “my passion only grows the more I pursue it.” Miura is moving on loan from Yokohama FC and spent last season on loan with fourth-division club Atletico Suzuka.College football is facing chaos with players frequently transferring and legal battles over NIL deals. A quarterback recently decided to stay at his school instead of transferring, avoiding a legal dispute. Another player is waiting for NCAA approval to play next season, with a NIL deal at stake. Legal experts say the situation resembles past labor issues in professional sports. Some suggest collective bargaining or employment contracts as solutions. However, these options face significant challenges, including legal complexities and resistance from universities. The NCAA has been lobbying for limited antitrust protection, but progress has stalled in Congress.ATLANTA (AP) — The College Football Playoff semifinal at the Peach Bowl is a celebration of the Big Ten's strength with No. 1-seed Indiana facing No. 5-seed Oregon. The game is a rematch. Indiana won at Oregon 30-20 on October 11 to hand the Ducks their only loss. Indiana is undefeated. Each team is coming off dominant wins. Indiana overwhelmed Alabama 38-3 in the Rose Bowl as Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza threw three touchdown passes. The Ducks shut out Texas Tech 23-0 in the Orange Bowl. Brandon Finney Jr. had two interceptions and a fumble recovery. The Peach Bowl winner will face Miami for the national title.MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Edwards became the third-youngest player in NBA history to reach 10,000 career points when the Minnesota Timberwolves star swished a 13-foot fadeaway jumper from the baseline in the fourth quarter against Cleveland. Edwards at 24 years and 156 days old was beaten to the mark by LeBron James and Kevin Durant. He is one of seven players who’ve hit 10,000 points before age 25. Kobe Bryant, Luka Doncic, Tracy McGrady and Carmelo Anthony are also in that group. Edwards had 25 points, nine assists and seven rebounds as the Timberwolves beat the Cavaliers 131-122.Two-time Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim says she dislocated her shoulder in training and doesn’t know whether she’ll be able to compete at the Winter Games in Italy next month. Kim posted footage of her fall on the halfpipe in Switzerland, where the world’s top snowboarders compete later this month in a key pre-Olympic tune-up. She remains optimistic and has full range in the shoulder and expects to know more after tests Friday.FinalsTOP-25 COLLEGE FOOTBALL Final	(10)Miami	31	(6)Mississippi	27NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE Final	Detroit	5	Vancouver	1	 Final	Boston	4	Calgary	1	 Final	Carolina	5	Anaheim	2	 Final OT	Toronto	2	Philadelphia	1	 Final	Pittsburgh	4	New Jersey	1	 Final	Montreal	6	Florida	2	 Final	Buffalo	5	N-Y Rangers	2	 Final	Edmonton	4	Winnipeg	3	 Final SO	Nashville	2	N-Y Islanders	1	 Final	Colorado	8	Ottawa	2	 Final OT	Minnesota	3	Seattle	2	 Final	Vegas	5	Columbus	3TOP-25 COLLEGE BASKETBALL Final	(8)Gonzaga	89	Santa Clara	77	 Final	(12)Michigan State	76	Northwestern	66	 Final	(16)Illinois	81	Rutgers	55

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs said in a statement Wednesday night that they were aware of domestic violence allegations made in a series of social media posts by a former girlfriend of wide receiver Rashee Rice and had been in communication with the NFL.

The Chiefs did not mention Rice by name in their statement and said they would have “no further comment at this time.”

Dacoda Nichole Jones also did not mention Rice by name when she posted a series of photos on Instagram earlier in the day that appeared to show signs of physical abuse. Jones did say the person involved was the father of her children, and the woman has two children with Rice, whom the Chiefs selected in the second round of the 2023 draft.

No police reports were available in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, Kansas, where Jones alleges the abuse occurred.

Rice missed the first six games this season following an NFL suspension for his role in causing a crash on a Dallas highway that left multiple people injured during the 2024 offseason. Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years' probation after pleading guilty to third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.

Rice finished with 53 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns as Kansas City went 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Brayden Burries scored 28 points, Motiejus Krivas added a career-high 25 and No. 1 Arizona remained unbeaten with a 101-76 win over Kansas State on Wednesday night.

Arizona (15-0, 2-0 Big 12) is off to its best start since winning the first 21 games of the 2013-14 season. Arizona won by at least 18 points for the 10th consecutive game, matching a mark Michigan had earlier this season that tied for the longest such run since 2003-04.

No. 1 Arizona remains unbeaten with 101-76 win over Kansas State

A late push came up short Wednesday night as the Barton Community College men's basketball team fell 81–76 at Independence Community College.

The loss drops the Cougars to 5–5 in Jayhawk Conference play and 10–6 overall, while the first-place Pirates improve to 7–2 in league action and 9–5 on the season, snapping Barton's four-game winning streak at Independence's Fieldhouse.

Barton continues its two-game road swing Saturday with a 4:00 p.m. tip at Seward County Community College in Liberal. The Cougars return home Saturday, January 17, hosting Cowley College in a 7:30 p.m. contest on Hall of Fame Induction Day.

Barton struck first with the game's opening four points and later held a three-point edge at 21–18 with 9:34 remaining in the first half. Independence responded with ten straight before the Cougars countered with a seven-point burst to knot the score at 28. The teams traded baskets down the stretch, but the Pirates closed the final two minutes with six straight free throws to carry a 40–35 lead into the break.

The Cougars stayed within striking distance through the opening six minutes of the second half before Independence was able to stretch the margin to ten on three occasions. Barton answered with an 8–0 run over a two-minute span to pull within two at the 8:30 mark, but a trio of turnovers allowed the Pirates to rebuild an eight-point cushion with four minutes remaining.

Barton continued to press, trimming the deficit to four with 2:43 left and again inside the final minute, but Independence sealed the outcome by converting 9-of-10 free throws in the closing stretch to secure its first home win in the series since 2021.

Despite the setback, Barton controlled the glass, winning the rebounding battle by twelve and outscoring Independence 40–24 in the paint. The Cougars also pulled down 16 offensive rebounds, leading to a nine-point edge in second-chance scoring. Turnovers proved costly, however, as Barton's 19 miscues resulted in a seven-point differential for the Pirates.

Four Cougars reached double figures, led by&nbsp;Aris Rodriguez&nbsp;with 16 points, all coming after halftime.&nbsp;Jayden Ramirez&nbsp;followed with 14 points, while&nbsp;Sebastian Muchitsch&nbsp;and&nbsp;Brian Sullivan, Jr.&nbsp;chipped in 13 apiece. Reigning KJCCC Player of the Week&nbsp;Noah Williams&nbsp;paced the rebounding effort with 11 boards to go along with eight points, as Muchitsch added eight rebounds.

Independence was led by David Wilson and Sterling Knox with 19 points each, the duo combining to shoot 11-of-12 from the free throw line. Trashuan Combs-Pierce and Lonnie Bass, Jr. rounded out the Pirates' scoring in double figures with 10 points apiece.

The eighth straight win in the series moves the Cougars to 4-6 in conference play and 6-10 overall, while the Pirates fall to 1-8 in league play and 4-11 on the season. Barton will close out the two-game road trip Saturday with a 2:00 p.m. tip at Seward County Community College inside the Greenhouse.

The Cougars built brief leads of 4-0 and 8-6 in the opening quarter before Independence responded with a 9-0 run out of the media timeout to grab a 15-8 advantage. Barton closed the quarter with a 4-0 response behind baskets from&nbsp;Mary Akinde&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mersadie Spray, cutting the margin to 15-11 after the opening stanza.

Independence scored the opening basket of the second quarter before the Cougars answered with an 8-0 run to move back in front 19-17, sparked by a finish from&nbsp;Alaina Eck, four points from Akinde, and a pair of free throws from&nbsp;Kodi Greer.&nbsp;Regina Donanu&nbsp;later added a personal 4-0 burst just ahead of the two-minute mark to give Barton its largest lead of the half at five. The Pirates closed the frame on a 7-2 run, however, sending the teams into the locker room tied at 27.

Donanu opened the third quarter at the free-throw line, but Barton went cold from the floor, missing its first nine shots as Independence built its largest lead at 38-29 heading into the under-five media timeout. &nbsp;The Cougars regrouped out of the break, using free throws from Akinde and Donanu along with&nbsp;Bryndal Moody's three-pointer to spark an 8-0 run that pulled Barton within two. The Pirates briefly answered at the line, but Barton closed the quarter on a 13-2 run, scoring the final six points to take a 42-40 lead into the fourth, highlighted by Akinde's late and-one.

Barton imposed its will early in the fourth quarter, scoring 13 of the period's first 18 points while attacking the paint. Akinde opened the frame with four straight points and scored nine of Barton's 10 points going back to the final 2:05 of the third quarter. Late baskets from Akinde and Spary in the final 1:04 gave Barton a pair of 11-point cushions to close out the road victory.

The Cougars finished the night shooting 37.1-percent from the floor, highlighted by a 53.3 percent clip in the fourth stanza, while holding the Pirates to 27.0 percent shooting. Barton controlled the interior throughout, outscoring Independence 38-16 in the paint and finishing with a slight plus-4 rebounding edge.

Akinde delivered a career performance, recording her fourth double-double of the season with game highs of 23 points and 14 rebounds, seven coming on the offensive end, while scoring eight of her points in the fourth quarter.

Eck followed with 11 points and six rebounds, while Donanu chipped in 10 points and three assists off the bench, helping the Cougars to a plus-6 edge in bench scoring.

Trae Young's time with the Atlanta Hawks is over. A person with knowledge of the move says the Hawks have agreed to trade Young to the Washington Wizards for a package including veteran CJ McCollum. Corey Kispert is also heading from Washington to Atlanta. The person who confirmed the deal spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade had not received the required league approval as of Wednesday night. The Wizards held McCollum and Kispert out of their loss at Philadelphia on Wednesday night. Young was on the bench in street clothes for the Hawks’ game against visiting New Orleans.

The NFL coaching carousel may not be done spinning. Seven NFL teams are seeking a new head coach after Baltimore fired John Harbaugh on Tuesday. A couple more could join the search if their team is one-and-done in the playoffs. Harbaugh’s sudden availability after 18 seasons with the Ravens could create another opening. Multiple teams are interested in Harbaugh, including two clubs without current openings, two people with knowledge of the conversations told The Associated Press. Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions are private.

ATLANTA (AP) — The College Football Playoff semifinal at the Peach Bowl is a celebration of the Big Ten's strength with No. 1-seed Indiana facing No. 5-seed Oregon. The game is a rematch. Indiana won at Oregon 30-20 on October 11 to hand the Ducks their only loss. Indiana is undefeated. Each team is coming off dominant wins. Indiana overwhelmed Alabama 38-3 in the Rose Bowl as Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza threw three touchdown passes. The Ducks shut out Texas Tech 23-0 in the Orange Bowl. Brandon Finney Jr. had two interceptions and a fumble recovery.

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Jerry Jones' lofty Super Bowl goal sounds like more than his Dallas Cowboys can handle. Jones wants to be the owner with the most NFL championships despite New England's Robert Kraft having twice as many as his three. The Cowboys haven't even sniffed an NFL championship in the past 30 of 37 years under Jones. Dallas is coming off consecutive losing seasons, and Jones is 83. Even he acknowledges he might not have many NFL drafts left. And this one will be huge to try to fix one of the NFL's worst defenses.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Steve Kerr upset his mother. Ann Kerr was mortified by the behavior of her 60-year-old son, for the first time in quite a while. She didn’t approve of Kerr's ejection in the fourth quarter of a one-point loss to the Clippers on Monday night, when the Warriors coach was held back from the officials by Gary Payton II, Gui Santos and assistant Terry Stotts. Kerr received back-to-back technical fouls and his fifth career ejection after becoming angry with official John Collins over a missed goaltending call.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Alisa Efimova hopes to represent the United States at the Milan Cortina Olympics, but she needs to become a citizen first. She and her pairs partner, Misha Mitrofanov, delivered a stellar performance at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Wednesday. Efimova is from Finland. She and Mitrofanov were married in February 2024, and she received a green card in July of that year. She is seeking a waiver of the required three-year waiting period for citizenship. The finalized U.S. squad for the Winter Games will be announced on Sunday, and Mitrofanov says they are hoping for “a last-minute miracle.”

Hockey is set to be a highlight at the Winter Olympics, with NHL players returning for the first time since 2014 and top women’s players competing for the eighth time. The main arena will feature smaller ice than NHL players are used to. North American teams are the ones to beat, with stars like Sidney Crosby and Hilary Knight aiming for gold. Russia is barred from hockey due to the war in Ukraine, sidelining top players like Alex Ovechkin.

BEAVER CREEK, Colo. (AP) — The teenage ski-racing triplets Helaina, Henri IV, and Henniyah Rivers are on a mission to represent their mother's country of Jamaica at the Winter Games. On top of that, they hope to open more doors for Black athletes in a predominantly white sport. It's a dream launched when their father found a pair of skis as a kid. Henri has already qualified for the slalom event, while his sisters are close. The triplets have traveled globally to chase races in an effort to qualify. Their story is often compared to the Disney movie, “Cool Runnings,” about the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team.

Glenn Hall, a Hockey Hall of Famer whose streak of 502 consecutive starts as a goaltender remains an NHL record, has died at age 94. A spokesperson for the Chicago Blackhawks confirmed the team was informed of Hall's death from his family. A league historian in touch with Hall's son, Pat, said Hall died at a hospital in Stony Plain, Alberta, on Wednesday. A pioneer of the butterfly style of goaltending of dropping to his knees, Hall backstopped Chicago to the Stanley Cup in 1961. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player of the playoffs in 1968 with St. Louis when the Blues reached the final before losing to Montreal.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Keldon Johnson had 27 points, Victor Wembanyama added 16 points and 14 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs overcame 38 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists from Luka Doncic to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 107-91 on Wednesday night. San Antonio captured the battle for second place in the Western Conference despite shooting 4 for 24 on 3-pointers. LeBron James did not play. Jake LaRavia, with 16, and Jaxson Hayes, with 10, were the only other Lakers to score in double figures against the Spurs.
