Bucks, Pacers square off in dispute over game ball after Giannis' record-setting performance

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo exchanged heated words with members of the Indiana staff and raced toward the Pacers' locker room Wednesday night as the teams squared off in a hallway in a dispute over the game ball following the Milwaukee star's franchise-record 64-point performance. After the Bucks' 140-126 victory, Antetokounmpo had an animated discussion with Indiana star Tyrese Haliburton and other Pacers before rushing from the court toward the Indiana locker room in search of the ball. The Bucks wanted the game ball for Antetokounmpo, who set a franchise record with 64 points. Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said the Pacers took the ball for Oscar Tshiebwe, who scored his first official NBA point. That led to a confrontation between members of the teams in the arena hallway.

Warriors star Draymond Green suspended indefinitely by NBA

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was suspended indefinitely by the NBA on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after he hit Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face and received a Flagrant 2 foul and ejection. The league said the penalty handed down by operations chief Joe Dumars begins immediately. This is already Green's second suspension this season. The NBA said: "He will be required to meet certain league and team conditions before he returns to play." The NBA noted that "this outcome takes into account Green's repeated history of unsportsmanlike acts."

Ohtani can opt out of Dodgers deal if execs Walter, Friedman lose roles with team, AP source says

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Shohei Ohtani can opt out of his $700 million, 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers if either of two key executives is no longer in place, a person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press. Ohtani, who will be formally introduced by the Dodgers at a news conference Thursday, would be allowed to terminate his deal if Mark Walter no longer is controlling owner or president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman no longer is with the team, the person said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms were not announced. Ohtani's deal, announced Monday, provides that 97% of the money be deferred without interest and not fully paid until 2043.

College athletes who transfer twice can play, for now, after a judge sets aside NCAA transfer rule

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — College athletes who were denied the chance to play immediately after transferring a second time can return to competition, for now. A federal judge in West Virginia issued a 14-day temporary restraining order Wednesday against the NCAA. The order comes after seven states filed a lawsuit contending the NCAA's transfer rule violates federal antitrust law. The NCAA said in a statement it would comply with the order. NCAA rules allow underclassmen to transfer once without having to sit out. But an additional transfer as an undergraduate generally requires the NCAA to grant a waiver to play immediately. A hearing on the restraining order is scheduled for Dec. 27.

Paris Saint-Germain advances in tense finish to Champions League group. Porto also into round of 16

GENEVA (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain and not Newcastle or AC Milan advanced to the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday. PSG and Kylian Mbappé were left holding their ticket after a tense finish to the tightest group saw Newcastle let its chance slip. PSG's 1-1 draw at Group F winner Borussia Dortmund was enough to secure second place and advance because Newcastle lost 2-1 at home to AC Milan. Newcastle was in the box seat kicking off the second half with a one-goal lead. Porto also advanced with a 5-3 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk which needed to win.

NFL approves regular-season game for Brazil in 2024 in more international expansion

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The NFL will play a regular-season game in Brazil in 2024. It's the latest expansion in the league's rapidly growing international plan. The league says the game will be played at Arena Corinthians in Sao Paulo. The stadium has a capacity of nearly 50,000 and was a World Cup venue in 2014. The NFL played its first two regular-season games in Frankfurt, Germany, this year, with three more in London. There will be games in both those countries again in 2024.

Huge underdog Chicago State stuns No. 25 Northwestern 75-73 behind 30 points from Cardet

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Wesley Cardet Jr. scored 30 points and Chicago State stunned No. 25 Northwestern in a 75-73 upset. Boo Buie made two layups 41 seconds apart to put Northwestern in front 67-65 with 2:30 left in a back-and-forth game. Cardet tied it 26 seconds later and then hit a 3-pointer with 1:23 remaining for a 70-67 lead. Chicago State sealed it with three late free throws from A.J. Neal and two by Noble Crawford. Cardet shot 13 of 21 and Jahsean Corbett added 17 points for the Cougars, a Division I independent. Buie had 23 points and Ryan Langborg scored 18 for the Wildcats, who lost to Chicago State for the first time. Northwestern had won 15 straight against the South Side program since the teams first met in 1981.

Kalib Boone scores 25 points to lead UNLV to 79-64 upset over No. 8 Creighton

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Kalib Boone scored 25 points and UNLV led nearly the entire way in a 79-64 victory over No. 8 Creighton. Dedan Thomas Jr. added 16 points and nine assists for the Rebels. Justin Webster scored 13 and Keylan Boone had 10. This was the first appearance with UNLV for Keylan Boone, whose twin brother is Kalib, after a federal judge in West Virginia ruled double transfers could play immediately. Keylan Boone also played at Oklahoma State and Pacific. Ryan Kalkbrenner led the Bluejays with 22 points. Baylor Scheierman scored 16 and Mason Miller had 11.

Many top Russian athletes faced minimal drug testing in 2023 ahead of next year's Paris Olympics

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Two of Russia's top swimmers who could be eligible for the next year's Olympics have been drug tested by their country's anti-doping agency only twice apiece in 2023. It's part of a larger trend in the country that adds an extra layer of uncertainty to the IOC's recent decision to allow some athletes to compete in Paris. The Russian Anti-Doping Agency says it has administered some 10,500 tests in 2023. Among those tests, only two went to defending backstroke champion Evgeniy Rylov and 50-meter backstroke world-record holder Kliment Kolesnikov. Other findings are that a handful of fencers and gymnasts have faced three or fewer tests this year. Top American athletes have faced more than double the tests from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

📢📰 Sports Headlines for Thursday

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid had no interest Wednesday in reliving the Chiefs' controversial loss to Buffalo last weekend.

Reid curtly batted away continued questions&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/kansas-city-chiefs-kadarius-toney-offside-a81e77e06a1fa06490e9d303976148da">about the 20-17 defeat,</a>&nbsp;where a rare offside penalty on wide receiver Kadarius Toney negated what would have been the go-ahead touchdown in the final minutes.

Reid took issue with the fact that officials tend to give warnings when a player lines up offside, and that&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/offside-chiefs-bills-kelce-toney-9b62fb1c2cb9219e84faa9d59c85ddd6">flags are rarely thrown</a>&nbsp;for such an infraction.

“We brought the guys in yesterday and they understand all our focus is straight ahead on the Patriots, and every day we have to practice for this game is important,” Reid said before practice. “I felt that way after the game. They know the importance of it.”

The Chiefs (8-5), who have lost four of their past six, visit New England on Sunday.

“You always got to move forward,” Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones said. “It happens so fast: You have one game, you have one day off, and then you start focusing on the next team. You don't have time to linger on a loss. It's all about moving forward.”

Earlier in the day, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce railed at critics of their struggling offense on his&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=new+heights+kelce&amp;rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS1024US1024&amp;oq=new+heights+kelce&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg5MgYIAhBFGDsyBggDEEUYOzIGCAQQRRg80gEIMTQ1MWowajmoAgCwAgA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8">“New Heights” podcast</a>&nbsp;with his brother and Eagles center Jason Kelce. Most of the criticism has been directed at Kansas City wide receivers, who lead the NFL in dropped passes by a wide margin, and more recently Toney, whose penalty against Buffalo proved to be so costly.

“We're not rolling like we have in the past. I know there's a lot of media pointing fingers at some of the skill players that we have,” Kelce said. “All this that I hear in the media right now about who the Chiefs are, it's only building that beast that we've been trying to create this entire year. It's only going to keep making us better and better, going through these learning experiences and going through these tough games.”

The Chiefs have had plenty of those lately.

Four of their past five games have been decided by one possession, and three have been losses, including another in Green Bay in which officials took some heat. They didn't throw a flag for a potential defensive pass interference penalty on the Packers, so rather than have a chance to tie the game late, Kansas City headed home with a 27-19 loss.

In fact, the Chiefs are off to their worst start through 13 games since Patrick Mahomes became the starting QB in 2018.

“I think once the game was over (Sunday), you kind of get to sleep, come back Monday and Tuesday, and everybody's mind was in the right spot,” Mahomes said Wednesday. “In this league, you have to get past that stuff.”

Mahomes was as angry as any point in his professional career after the penalty on Toney, and teammates nearly had to hold him back as he chased after officials for an explanation. When the game ended, and Mahomes was shaking hands with Bills star Josh Allen at midfield, he told his fellow quarterback: "Offensive offside in that moment, man — terrible.”

Mahomes said Wednesday he regretted the way he handled the end of the game.

“Definitely emotion talking when I was talking to Josh at midfield, just to lose the football game in a tough way,” he said. “He had nothing to do with it. Just show better sportsmanship. Tell him ‘great game’ and keep it moving.”

In this case, keep it moving into Sunday's trip to New England.

“All I can do is go about business like I do every week,” said Mahomes, whose team now leads the AFC West by a single game over Denver. “The division is tight. The AFC is tight. We just have to go out there and play our best football.”

NOTES: RB Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) and LT Donovan Smith (neck) remained out of practice Wednesday. LB Drue Tranquill planned to be on the field, an indication that he is close to clearing the concussion protocol. ... LB Leo Chenal and FS Mike Edwards were out with an illness.

LAWRENCE, KAN. –&nbsp;Kansas Athletics is excited to announce that construction on David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium will escalate this week as the demolition of Phase I of the football stadium has begun as part of the University of Kansas Gateway District project.

Fans and supporters can keep track of the progress of the construction by viewing a&nbsp;<a href="https://kugatewaydistrict.com/live-cameras/">live camera&nbsp;</a>of the work currently being done at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Live camera feeds should be accessed via desktop computer for optimal viewing experience.

The long-anticipated construction will cause street closures around the stadium that motorists and residents should be familiar with. Fambrough Drive and Fambrough Way will be closed to vehicles beginning Friday, December 15.

Motorists who typically use Fambrough Drive – which runs east and west to the north of David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium – will be detoured to Ninth Street. KU community members who typically access Parking Lot 59 via Fambrough Way – which runs north and south between the stadium and the indoor practice facility – can access that lot via the driveway at the corner of Fambrough Drive and Missouri Street.

The two roads are expected to remain closed until approximately January 19.

Construction on the stadium began immediately after Kansas Football’s final home game this season on Nov. 18. Once the demolition is complete, work will continue on Phase I of the Gateway District and David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, which is slated to open for the 2025 season.

First announced last October by Chancellor Douglas A. Girod and KU Athletic Director Travis Goff, the Gateway District will transform David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium and the surrounding area. The reimagined football stadium will be part of a state-of-the-art conference center and additional multiuse development complex, which will reshape the north entrance to KU’s Lawrence campus.

🎥🏈 Demolition of David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium continues

TAMPA&nbsp;– The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced that Reagan Cooper and Camryn Turner of Kansas Volleyball have been named 2023 All-Americans.

Turner was named Honorable Mention, while Cooper secured Third Team honors. This is the first time in both of their careers that they’ve garnered All-American accolades.

Turner, the Big 12 Setter of the Year and First Team All-Big 12 selection, led the conference in assists per set for the majority of the season, ending at the top with a 10.67 average. The Topeka, Kansas native was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week in September, as well as the lone Preseason All-Big 12 selection for the Jayhawks. Turner also posted the second most digs per set on the team with 2.95 and recorded 84 kills and 58 total blocks for a well-rounded season stat line.

Turner currently holds the eighth most career assists in Kansas program history, with 2,811 total assists at the conclusion of her junior season.

Although only a Jayhawk for one season, Cooper made quite the impact during her time. The Texas Tech transfer was recognized various times on a national scale, as she was named AVCA Midwest All-Region, as well as the Division I National Player of the Week back on Nov. 21, making her the first Kansas player to earn that award since Kelsie Payne (2016).

The graduate out of Rowlett, Texas was also named All-Big 12 First Team after leading the Jayhawks with 3.86 kills and 4.17 points per set while hitting an impressive .346 on the year. Cooper tied the program record for most kills in a single match when she knocked down 29 against Penn State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, marking the fifth time she surpassed 20-plus kills in a match this season.

Cooper was most recently drafted in the second round of the inaugural Pro Volleyball Federation draft, making her the 14th overall pick and a member of the Columbus Fury. Cooper was one of seven Big 12 players to be selected in this year’s draft, and she is joined by fellow All-Big 12 First Team member Texas middle blocker Asjia O’Neal, who was the overall No. 1 pick.

EL PASO, Texas --&nbsp;Wichita State silenced a raucous sell-out crowd, sweeping UTEP 25-14, 25-22, 25-22 to claim the NIVC championship and the program's first national postseason title.

The Shockers (26-8) dominated the match virtually from start to finish, trailing just 1-0 in the first set and by just three points in the second on their way to another sweep. Wichita State dropped only one total set in the entire tournament, sweeping four of five matches on their way to the title.

UTEP (25-10) entered the match 14-0 at home this season and brought out 3,271 fans to witness the championship. But the Shockers kept the fans silent with a thorough first set performance, holding the Miners potent offense to a -.053 hitting percentage while hitting .321 themselves. A 9-2 run in the middle of the set proved to be the knockout blow, turning a 9-7 lead into an 18-9 advantage. The Shockers lefts carried much of the load, as&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/emerson-wilford/7495">Emerson Wilford</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/barbara-koehler/7497">Barbara Koehler</a>&nbsp;combined for seven kills on 14 swings without making an error. The Shockers had four blocks in the set, leading to 12 UTEP attack errors. The last of those four blocks, courtesy of&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/izzi-strand/7498">Izzi Strand</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/natalie-foster/7483">Natalie Foster</a>, clinched a 25-14 win for the Shockers in the opener.

The Shockers had to dig out of an early 5-2 hole in the second set, but the offense kicked into another gear to make up the deficit. Wichita State hit a blistering .429 in the frame, highlighted by five kills on 11 error-free&nbsp;swings from Wilford. The Shockers trailed as late as 18-17 but rattled off a crucial 5-0 run with&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/gabi-maas/7501">Gabi Maas</a>&nbsp;at the service line to take control, 22-18. Wilford delivered a trio of kills down the stretch to give the Shockers a 2-0 lead into the intermission.

Wichita State left no doubt in the third set, grabbing the lead on point one via a&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/natalie-foster/7483">Natalie Foster</a>&nbsp;kill and holding it the rest of the way. UTEP made a handful of late charges to cut into the WSU lead, pulling to within one at 18-17 following a Shocker attack error. But Wichita State gave themselves room for error by scoring five of the next seven points, capped off by an emphatic kill from&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/morgan-stout/7491">Morgan Stout</a>&nbsp;that stretched the advantage to 23-18. UTEP scored three in a row to force a Wichita State timeout, but Wilford stopped the bleeding with a kill to reach match point, 24-21. UTEP scored on the ensuing point to stay alive, setting up an unexpected moment of heroism for the Shockers.&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/morgan-weber/7493">Morgan Weber</a>, who had not attempted an attack all match, lined a ball off the block and down to the floor to set off a wild celebration.

The Shockers hit .292 to UTEP's .135, 139 points below their season average. Wilford led all scorers with 11 kills and 13 points, while&nbsp;<a href="https://goshockers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/roster/sophia-rohling/7490">Sophia Rohling</a>&nbsp;added eight, Foster seven and Koehler six. Strand tallied 29 assists to go along with a pair of kills and seven digs, while Maas racked up a match-high 12 digs and one of WSU's two service aces.

Strand was named the NIVC MVP following the match, joined on the All-Tournament Team by Stout and Maas.

Wichita State ends the season on a six-match winning streak and winners of nine of their last ten matches. The 26 total victories are the most since the 2017 season.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Golden State's Draymond Green ejected again after hitting Jusuf Nurkic in face

PHOENIX (AP) — Golden State bad boy Draymond Green was ejected once again on Tuesday night after hitting Jusuf Nurkic in the face while the two were battling for position in the third quarter during a game against the Phoenix Suns. It's been less than a month since Green was suspended five games by the NBA for putting Minnesota's Rudy Gobert into a headlock during an altercation in November. This fracas wasn't quite as involved, but it was still another bewildering moment for the four-time All-Star, and could lead to further league discipline, especially considering his history.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Blues fired coach Craig Berube on Tuesday night, hours after a 6-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. The loss was the season-worst fourth straight for the Blues, who are off to a 13-14-1 start to the season. The 57-year-old Berube guided the Blues to the Stanley Cup championship in 2019. He replaced Mike Yeo as coach Nov. 20, 2018, as the interim coach and led an amazing turnaround. He led St. Louis to a 38-19-6 record in 2018-19. The Blues named Drew Bannister, coach of the Springfield Thunderbirds of the American Hockey League, as interim coach.

Herbert's backup, Easton Stick, will get his first NFL start on Thursday night at Las Vegas.

Deflecting questions about long-term deal, Juan Soto looks forward to playing with Yankees in 2024

NEW YORK (AP) — In his first public comments since the Yankees acquired him from San Diego, three-time All-Star Juan Soto deflected questions about a possible long-term deal with the Yankees. The 25-year-old outfielder said the team could deal with his agent, Scott Boras. Soto spoke six days after he was acquired by the Yankees from San Diego along with Gold Glove center fielder Trent Grisham for right-handed pitchers Michael King, Jhony Brito, Randy Vásquez and Drew Thorpe plus catcher Kyle Higashioka. Soto hit .275 with 35 homers, 109 RBIs and a .930 OPS in his only full season with the Padres.

LeBron James says "moment was everything" seeing son Bronny's debut for Southern Cal

DALLAS (AP) — LeBron James says the "moment was everything" to see oldest son Bronny James make his collegiate debut for Southern California. The elder James took a detour back to California from Las Vegas after the Lakers beat Indiana to win the NBA's inaugural In-Season Tournament. LA returned to the regular season with a 127-125 loss at the Dallas Mavericks. James didn't miss a beat as he finished with 33 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. Bronny's debut came nearly five months after he went into cardiac arrest during a workout at USC's Galen Center.

Nuggets star Nikola Jokic ejected in second quarter against Bulls

CHICAGO (AP) — Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic was ejected in the second quarter of Denver's 114-106 victory at Chicago for the language he directed toward an official after he felt he was fouled on a layup attempt. Jokic finished with four points, nine rebounds and six assists in Denver's only scheduled visit to the United Center this season. After the 7-foot center was thrown out, the crowd of 20,775 seemed to register its displeasure with the decision by the officials. Jokic says he "crossed the line, but sometimes that word doesn't cross the line."

Doncic, Hardaway led Mavs over Lakers 127-125 in LA's first game since winning NBA Cup

DALLAS (AP) — Luka Doncic had 33 points and 17 assists, Tim Hardaway Jr. scored a season-high 32 and the Dallas Mavericks beat Los Angeles 127-125. It was the Lakers' first game since winning the inaugural In-Season Tournament. Anthony Davis finished with 37 points and 11 rebounds and LeBron James had 33 points, nine assists and eight boards as LA's season-best four-game winning streak ended. The Lakers erased a 15-point deficit early in the third quarter to set up an entertaining finish.

Sam Gagner had a goal and an assist in the highly anticipated Clash of the Connors, helping the Oilers win their eighth game in a row. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman also scored for Edmonton, and defenseman Evan Bouchard added a pair of assists. Bedard gave the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead with his 12th goal 3:21 into the first period, but Chicago lost its seventh consecutive road game.

📢📰 Sports Headlines for Wednesday

SALINA, Kan.-The Hutch High basketball teams traveled to Salina South Tuesday night, but only the Salthawks boys came home with a victory as the Salthawk girls suffered the first loss of the season to the Cougars 36 to 28.

The Hutch High boys used a big third quarter to come away with a 56-39 victory.

In the girls contest, South held Hutchinson to just 10 first half points, and used that strong defensive effort to overcome a slow night on offense, and take a 12-10 lead into the locker room.

In the second half, South picked things up on offense, jumping out to a lead of as much as 12, but Hutchinson wouldn’t go away quietly. The Salthawks would fight back to within four in the final minutes, but the Cougars would prevail.

Sophomore Paityn Fritz led the way for South, scoring 10 points, with eight coming in the second half. Tamia Cheeks would add in nine points as well, helping the Cougars to pull away in the end and snap an eight-game losing streak to the Salthawks.

For Hutchinson, Junior Grace Posch would lead the way with 13 points, and Kaia Smith scored eight, while Senior Rachel Tomac scored five.

In the boys nightcap game, the first half was back and forth finding Hutch High leading at half time 27-20. But the second half had the Salthawks out pacing South 17-5 to pull away. In that third period, the Cougars would make just one field goal, and score the remainder of their points at the free throw line.

For Hutchinson, a well-rounded effort would aid them to victory. Terrell King would lead the way, scoring 12 points, while Daylee Vansyckle scored 11, Julian Smith added nine, and Jay Lewis scored seven to lead the way.

The Salthawks (3-0, 1-0) will return home for their home-opener on Friday against Goddard, while South (0-4, 0-1) will travel to Derby.

MANHATTAN, Kan.&nbsp;– Junior&nbsp;Arthur Kaluma&nbsp;continued to earn accolades for his impressive play in wins over Villanova and LSU last week, as he was chosen as one of five national Division I Player of the Week by the U.S Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) and the Oscar Robertson Trophy on Tuesday (December 12).

Kaluma, who was selected as the Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday (December 11), was honored by the USBWA alongside St. Bonaventure’s&nbsp;Mika Adams-Woods, Akron’s&nbsp;Enrique Freeman, Memphis’&nbsp;David Jones&nbsp;and Marquette’s&nbsp;Tyler Kolek&nbsp;for games ending December 10.

Kaluma is the third Wildcat to earn the USBWA’s National Player of the Week honors, along with&nbsp;Denis Clemente&nbsp;on February 9, 2010, and&nbsp;Markquis Nowell&nbsp;on January 9, 2023. It is Kaluma’s first national player of the week distinction after twice earning BIG EAST Freshman of the Week honors while at Creighton.

Kaluma averaged a double-double in helping K-State (8-2) to a home overtime win over Villanova and a road victory over LSU last week, as he averaged 21.5 points on 76.2 percent (16-of-21) shooting, including 85.7 percent (6-of-7) from 3-point range, to go with 10.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 39.6 minutes per game.

Kaluma scored a game and season-high 26 points in the win over Villanova on December 5, knocking down 10-of-13 field goals, including 3-of-3 from 3-point range, and 3-of-3 from the free throw line to go with 9 rebounds and 4 assists in a season-best 44 minutes. The 26 points were one shy of his career-high of 27 he had against BYU while playing at Creighton in 2022. It was his seventh career 20-point game, including his third this season.

Kaluma continued his impressive play in the road win at LSU, recording his fifth career double-double, including his second as a Wildcat, with 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range, to go with a game-high 11 rebounds in 35 minutes. He has now scored in double figures in 48 career games, including eight this season.

A 6-foot-7, 225-pound wing from Glendale, Ariz., Kaluma is currently averaging 16.6 points on 47.6 percent (49-of-103) from the field, including 38.9 percent (14-of-36) from 3-point range, and 82.2 percent (37-of-45) from the free throw line to go along with 8.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 34.8 minutes per game. He is one of just two players to rank in the Big 12’s top-10 in both scoring and rebounding, as he ranks 10th&nbsp;in scoring and fourth in rebounding.

Kansas-&nbsp;The Kansas Shrine Bowl Board of Directors is excited to announce the addition of a new East vs. West senior all-star wrestling event in conjunction with the Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association. The KWCA Kansas Shrine Duals is scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 17th, 2024 at Fugate Gymnasium on the campus of Newman University in Wichita, Kansas. The event will feature around 60 of the state’s top wrestlers, both girls and boys, competing in an East vs. West team dual format. All net proceeds from the KWCA Kansas Shrine Duals will benefit Shriners Children’s, previously known as Shriners Hospitals for Children.

“We’re thrilled for this opportunity to partner with the KWCA to showcase some of the best athletes in Kansas and increase the impact our organization can have for Shriners Children’s,” said Brice Kesler of the Kansas Shrine Bowl. “The opportunity to share the reasons behind our cause with the outstanding wrestling community throughout Kansas is going to be a great benefit for everyone involved.”

The KWCA Kansas Shrine Duals will continue the traditions of East vs. West all-star competition that has led to 50 years of success with the Kansas Shrine Bowl, generating more than $3.8M in donations to Shriners Children’s. The partnership with the KWCA will help bring a new philanthropic aspect to the KWCA’s mission of promoting and recognizing outstanding contributions and accomplishments in wrestling throughout the state of Kansas. The athletes who are selected to participate in the KWCA Kansas Shrine Duals will have the opportunity, through fundraising initiatives and competition, to make a lasting impact on the lives of children while displaying their talents on a premier all-star stage.

“The KWCA is excited to partner with the Shriners to bring back the Senior All-Star Classic,” said Nathan Broeckelman, KWCA President. “This event will be a great showcase for our senior athletes across the state for one last go representing their respective high schools.”

Additional event details, along with complete qualification criteria for wrestlers, and more will be coming soon.

Kansas Shrine Bowl and KWCA announce new joint all-star wrestling event

Former Kansas State forward Nae'Qwan Tomlin will join the Memphis basketball team as a midseason transfer, according to sources.

Tomlin was dismissed from the Kansas State team last week after he was arrested in October following a fight at a bar in the Aggieville district of Manhattan. He reportedly has been granted a diversion in the case, but K-State cut ties with him on December 6.

Kansas, Arizona, Indiana, Purdue, Kentucky, Michigan State, West Virginia and Auburn were all interested in Tomlin.

Since Tomlin did not see playing time for the Wildcats this season, he will be eligible to play right away once he is officially admitted to the University of Memphis.

(AP) — Rookie Will Levis threw for a career-high 327 yards and directed two touchdown drives in the final 4 1/2 minutes, and the Tennessee Titans rallied to stun Miami 28-27, knocking the Dolphins out of the top spot in the AFC. The Titans held Tua Tagovailoa and Miami's explosive offense in check for most of the game but still fell behind by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, thanks to critical mistakes that gave short fields to the Dolphins. Raheem Mostert ran for TDs of 3 yards and 5 yards to put Miami ahead 27-13. But Levis threw a TD pass to DeAndre Hopkins and then set up a 3-yard run by Derrick Henry for the go-ahead score.DeVito leads clutch drive to Bullock's winning kick as New York Giants top Green Bay Packers 24-22EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Tommy DeVito threw a 32-yard pass to Wan'Dale Robinson to set up Randy Bullock's 37-yard field goal as time expired, and the New York Giants beat Green Bay 24-22 to hand the Packers their first December loss since Matt LaFleur took over as coach in 2019. The Giants went 57 yards in eight plays after Jordan Love threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Malik Heath with 1:33 to play. Green Bay then tried a 2-point conversion but Jayden Reed was stopped by linebacker Bobby Okereke. The go-ahead drive was set up by a Saquon Barkley fumble. DeVito rushed for 71 yards in the third straight win for the Giants.Ohtani's Dodgers contract has $680 million deferred, lowering tax value to $46 million annuallyNEW YORK (AP) — Shohei Ohtani will receive just $20 million of his $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers over the next 10 years, with $680 million payable from 2034-43 in an unusual structure that gives the team greater payroll flexibility in coming seasons. Ohtani's record-setting deal, agreed to Saturday, calls for annual salaries of $70 million, according to details obtained by The Associated Press. Of each year's salary, $68 million is deferred with no interest, payable in equal installments each July 1 from 2034-43. For purposes of baseball's luxury tax, the contract is valued as a yearly addition to the Dodgers' payroll of about $46 million.NBA star Ja Morant describes punching teen during a pickup basketball game last yearMEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — NBA star Ja Morant says a teenager hit him in the face with a one-handed basketball pass at close range during a pickup game last year when the Memphis Grizzlies guard punched the 17-year-old in the face. Morant has testified in court Monday that the teen bumped Morant in the chest, balled his fists and got into a fighting stance at the basketball game. The lawsuit was filed by Joshua Holloway, who was 17 when he and Morant got into a brief fight on a court located at the Memphis-area home of the NBA All-Star's parents on July 26, 2022.Red Wings forward David Perron suspended 6 games for cross-check on Ottawa's Artem ZubDALLAS (AP) — Red Wings forward David Perron has been suspended for six games by the NHL for cross-checking Ottawa defenseman Artem Zub in the aftermath of a hit on Dylan Larkin that knocked out the Detroit captain. Perron was given a match penalty for intent to injure for cross-checking Zub as he stood next to the prone Larkin in the first period of Saturday's game. The Red Wings center was motionless on the ice after getting cross-checked in the back of the head and neck by Ottawa's Mathieu Joseph. Perron will forfeit more than $148,000 in salary during the suspension. Larkin was put on injured reserve.Tyreek Hill sidelined with ankle injury for most of Dolphins' 28-27 loss to Titans on Monday nightMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tyreek Hill sat out a big portion of Miami's 28-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans with an ankle injury after he landed awkwardly while being tackled in the first quarter. The star Dolphins receiver returned to the game late in the third quarter as fans chanted "MVP!" and caught a 21-yard pass from Tua Tagovailoa as the quarter ended. Hill got hurt when he was tackled on a catch that went for a 6-yard loss. He went down briefly and grabbed at his left leg. He began limping off the field, then ran off. Hill stood on the sideline with his helmet in his hand as the second quarter started.Rahm is suspended by the PGA Tour. The formality is a boon for Mackenzie Hughes and Carl YuanJon Rahm has officially been suspended by the PGA Tour for joining LIV Golf. That's not a surprise. The defection is good news for the likes of Mackenzie Hughes and Carl Yuan. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is telling players that Rahm's suspension means he is officially removed from the FedEx Cup list. That moves up Hughes one spot to No. 50 and makes him eligible for all the $20 million events next year. It might be even better news for Yuan. He goes up one spot to No. 125. That's the magic number to keep his PGA Tour card.Inter Miami to play 2 matches in Saudi Arabia. Messi vs. Ronaldo will happen Feb. 1FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will meet in Saudi Arabia after all. Inter Miami confirmed Monday that it will take part in the Riyadh Season Cup, something that was announced by Saudi officials on Nov. 21. Inter Miami said the reports at that time were inaccurate. Inter Miami will play Al-Hilal on Jan. 29 and Al Nassr, which is Ronaldo's team, on Feb. 1. Those two clubs lead the Saudi Pro League and Ronaldo is that league's leading scorer.UNC QB Drake Maye is entering the NFL draft and won't play in the Duke's Mayo BowlNorth Carolina star quarterback Drake Maye is entering the NFL draft and won't play in the Duke's Mayo Bowl for the Tar Heels against West Virginia. Maye announced his decision in a social media post Monday. That ended his UNC career after putting up prolific numbers and making himself one of the most sought-after potential prospects for the NFL. The school has also announced that all-ACC linebacker Cedric Gray, receiver Devontez "Tez" Walker, offensive lineman Corey Gaynor and defensive lineman Myles Murphy are all entering the draft. Of that group, only Murphy is set to play in the bowl.1 in 5 players at Women's World Cup abused online, FIFA saysZURICH, Switzerland (AP) — A report prepared by FIFA and the global players' association says players at the Women's World Cup were 29% more likely to receive online abuse than those at the men's tournament in 2022. The report says one in five players at the Women's World Cup co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand in md-year received "targeted discriminatory, abusive or threatening messaging." FIFA and FIFPRO released data from FIFA's social media protection service. It tries to shield players, teams and officials from online abuse and hate speech.
