MLB-ANGELS-CRON

Cron out with busted hand

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Angels slugger C.J. Cron (krohn) is expected to be out at least six weeks following surgery on his broken left hand. Cron was hit by a pitch in Friday's game against Baltimore.

Cron was riding a hot streak before the injury, hitting .364 with 24 RBIs in 20 games.

MLB-LONDON

No baseball in London next year

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Major League Baseball has scrubbed plans of playing regular-season games in London next year.

Players association president Tony Clark said a number of factors have made it impossible to finalize plans for big league games there in time for the 2017 season.

Clark also was non-committal about having players on 25-man active rosters made available for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, to be held during the major league season. The International Olympic Committee executive board voted last month to support a six-nation tournament that year in both baseball and women's softball, and the full IOC is to vote in August.

NBA-DUNCAN RETIRES

Spurs mainstay is retiring

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tim Duncan has called it a career after nearly two decades as the face and backbone of the San Antonio Spurs.

The quiet, big man is ending his 19-year NBA career with one franchise, having centered five NBA championships while playing in more than 1,000 games for the Spurs.

The No. 1 overall pick in 1997 goes out with two MVP awards among his list of accomplishments. Duncan was one of just four players to be named NBA Finals MVP at least three times. He was a 15-time All-Star, a member of the All-NBA first team 10 times and is one of only three players to win at least 1,000 games in his career. The other two are joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robert Parrish.

He is fifth on the NBA's career list in blocks, sixth in rebounds and 14th in scoring.

Duncan's retirement comes two months after the Spurs were upset by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals.

NBA-DRAYMOND GREEN ARREST

Warriors' Green arrested

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Golden State star Draymond Green has been arrested on a charge of misdemeanor assault and battery over the weekend near the Michigan State campus.

The alleged incident occurred early Sunday morning in the city where Green played for the Spartans from 2008 to 2012.

East Lansing Police Lt. Scott Wrigglesworth says the male victim was not injured.

If convicted of assault or assault and battery, Green could face 93 days in jail, a $500 fine, or both.

NBA-ALL-STAR CHARLOTTE

Tech leaders urge Silver to pull All-Star game

NEW YORK (AP) — Technology industry leaders are urging NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to move the All-Star Game out of Charlotte unless a North Carolina law that limits anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people is repealed "in very short order."

In a letter sent Friday and obtained by The Associated Press, the executives tell Silver that putting fans at risk of discrimination would "send a terrible message about who the NBA is and what it values as an organization, and set a dangerous precedent."

The All-Star weekend is set for next February -- unless the NBA pulls it.

NBA owners are holding their annual offseason meeting this week in Las Vegas.

GOLF-SPIETH-OLYMPICS

Spieth says no to Olympics

TROON, Scotland (AP) — Jordan Spieth (SPEETH) is taking a pass on golf's return to the Olympics for the first time in 112 years.

Spieth joins a growing list of big name players who are skipping the Summer Games in Rio next month due to health concerns.

Spieth joins top-ranked Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy as those who have opted out of the Olympics because of the Zika (ZEE'-kuh) virus. They are the top four ranked players in the world.

GOLF-BRITISH OPEN

British Open week is underway

TROON, Scotland (AP) — Zach Johnson has surrendered the hardware.

The defending British Open champ has returned the claret jug that has accompanied him since he won a three-way playoff at St. Andrew's last year.

The trophy is being stored until a new champ is crowned Sunday at Royal Troon.

Colin Montgomerie gets the honor of hitting the opening tee shot when the third major tournament of the year starts on Thursday.

The 53-year old Scot will be playing what's likely his final British Open at the club where his father was the longtime secretary.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL-AUSTIN PEAY-LOOS

Chemotherapy for Loos following surgery

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Austin Peay men's basketball coach Dave Loos will require chemotherapy after having surgery to remove a malignant tumor from his colon.

School officials said Loos is expected to make a full recovery and return for the 2016-17 season, though Jay Bowen is taking over the program's day-to-day operations on an interim basis.

School officials said the tumor was successfully removed but had spread to one out of 23 lymph nodes in the area.

Loos is 409-391 in 26 seasons at Austin Peay, and 491-444 in 30 seasons overall.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL-SMU

Jankovich takes over at SMU

DALLAS (AP) — SMU has formally named Tim Jankovich as its new men's basketball coach, three days after Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown abruptly resigned.

Jankovich had been considered head-coach-in-waiting since he came to the Mustangs with Brown in 2012 after five seasons as head coach at Illinois State.

He filled in as head coach when Brown was suspended for the first nine games of the season and SMU won all of them.

The 57-year-old Jankovich was 104-64 at Illinois State from 2007-12.

TENNIS-SHARAPOVA APPEAL

Sharapova suspension appeal delayed

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — A ruling on Maria Sharapova's appeal of her two-year doping ban has been postponed until September, taking her out of the Rio Olympics next month.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport says that Sharapova and the International Tennis Federation have agreed to defer the decision, which had been due to be issued by next Monday.

Sharapova tested positive for meldonium at the Australian Open in January and received a two-year ban from the ITF. The five-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1-ranked player filed an appeal last month, seeking to overturn or reduce the sanction.

TENNIS-DAVIS CUP-MURRAY

Murray likely to skip Davis Cup matches

LONDON (AP) — Wimbledon champion Andy Murray says it's unlikely he'll play for Britain in its Davis Cup quarterfinal against Serbia this week.

NHL-SABRES-O'REILLY

Charges dropped

UNDATED (AP) — The agent for Ryan O'Reilly confirmed that charges against the Buffalo Sabres forward have been dropped stemming from an impaired driving incident last year.

HORSE RACING-NYQUIST

Haskell is next for Derby winner

OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) — Kentucky Derby winner Nyquist will make his next start at the $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on July 31.

Trainer Doug O'Neill said the 3-year-old colt turned in an impressive workout earlier in the day at Santa Anita racetrack in California, covering five furlongs in 59 seconds. O'Neill said it hasn't been decided when Nyquist will be shipped to New Jersey.

The Grade I Haskell drew a record crowd of more than 60,000 last year when Triple Crown winner American Pharoah won the race.
