Bosh has another blood clot scare

MIAMI (AP) — Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh is dealing with a blood-clot scare for the second straight year.

A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Monday night that Bosh will spend the next few days reviewing medical options. The person added that no determination will be made about his playing status until he goes through more tests and evaluation.

Bosh pulled out of the All-Star Game and the 3-point contest because of what he and the Heat described as a calf strain. He was shut down at the All-Star break last season because a blood clot had found its way to one of his lungs.

Bosh is averaging a team-high 19 points a game this season.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL-MARYLAND

Star freshman center suspended 1 game

UNDATED (AP) — Maryland freshman center Diamond Stone has been suspended for Thursday's game against Minnesota by coach Mark Turgeon for his behavior Saturday against Wisconsin. After Stone and Wisconsin's Vitto Brown went to the floor underneath the basket, Stone pushed Brown's face onto the court after they became untangled. Stone received a dead ball technical foul on the play, and Turgeon issued an apology to Brown and Wisconsin coach Greg Gard that called Stone's conduct a poor representation of the standards set at Maryland.

In other men's basketball news:

NHL-COYOTES-EMERGENCY GOALTENDER

Arizona banker becomes Coyotes' backup netminder

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Nathan Schoenfeld enjoyed a Walter Mitty moment in the NHL.

Schoenfeld was the Arizona Coyotes' backup netminder for Monday's game against Montreal after No. 2 goalie Anders Lindback suffered an injury prior to warmups. Schoenfeld is the team's designated emergency goaltender and the son of former NHL player and coach Jim Schoenfeld. He played club hockey at Arizona State, but has never participated in organized hockey since college. Schoenfeld currently is a banking officer in Scottsdale, according to his LinkedIn page.

The NHL instituted a new rule requiring every team to have a goalie who lives in the area and can dress in case of an injury emergency.

Louis Domingue started for the Coyotes.

NHL-LIGHTNING-STAMKOS

Lightning: No Stamkos trade before deadline

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning say they have no intention of trading Steven Stamkos before this month's trade deadline, ending speculation that the NHL's defending Eastern Conference champions might abandon hopes of signing Stamkos to a long-term contract extension.

The two-time NHL goal-scoring leader is in the final year of a deal that pays him about $5.5 million this season. Stamkos is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in July.

Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman says the organization is focused on trying to make the playoffs. He said talks on a new contract will continue and remain private.

GOLF-PRIME TIME MATCH

Golf under the lights

UNDATED (AP) — For the first time in more than a decade, golf is getting another prime-time exhibition. Except this one will be live and under the lights.

A person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press that Quicken Loans is finalizing details for a match involving Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler in a celebrity pro-am format. The match would be at the Detroit Golf Club on June 7, the Tuesday before U.S. Open week begins at Oakmont outside of Pittsburgh.

The celebrities and the actual format have yet to be determined.

SOCCER-FIFA

Salman's credentials questioned as Platini appeals suspension

UNDATED (AP) — Sheikh Salman's credentials to run FIFA are being questioned by English Football Association chairman Greg Dyke ahead of next week's election.

The Asian Football Confederation president is a leading candidate to succeed Sepp Blatter but remains under scrutiny over his role in Bahrain's Arab Spring uprising in 2011. Dyke says there were violations of human rights involving sportsmen and soccer players during that time, and wonders whether Sheikh Salman was involved.

Meanwhile, suspended UEFA President Michel Platini spent eight hours in an appeal case, fighting his eight-year ban from FIFA over a $2 million payment approved by president Sepp Blatter.

FIFA's ethics committee found Platini guilty of accepting gifts, conflicts of interest and breaching loyalty and general conduct rules. He was fined 80,000 Swiss francs, about 81,000 U.S. dollars.

Ethics judges said Platini was "not convincing" in arguing that a verbal contract entitled him to get uncontracted salary in 2011 for work as Blatter's presidential adviser from 1999-2002.
