NEW YORK (AP) — Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges that he and teammate Emmanuel Clase <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mlb-baseball-gambling-ortiz-clase-a6db1ff46523e2ffa16d84ca427cf7c1">took bribes</a> to help gamblers win bets placed on pitches they threw.The 26-year-old starting pitcher appeared in Brooklyn federal court after his <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mlb-baseball-gambling-ortiz-clase-11cce39a5e7f3a779104c3fd6ab8a8c7">initial arrest Sunday</a> at Boston's Logan International Airport.He was released on a $500,000 bond until his next court date Nov. 19, and issued GPS monitoring. Ortiz, who has already surrendered his passport to authorities, was also ordered to limit his travel to New York, Massachusetts and Ohio.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The other conditions of his release include no gambling, no possessing firearms or illegal drugs and having no contact with co-conspirators, victims and witnesses.Ortiz, wearing a black leather jacket and jeans, provided short responses to the judge's questions in court and didn't respond to reporters seeking comment as he left the courtroom with his wife and lawyer.Clase, the Guardian's former closer and a three-time All-Star, will be arraigned at the same courthouse Thursday.The two natives of the Dominican Republic have been on <a href="https://apnews.com/article/guardians-ortiz-06134e96597c96df1e76c5a96141de53">non-disciplinary paid leave</a> since July, when MLB began investigating what it said was unusually high in-game betting activity when they pitched.Prosecutors say Ortiz and Clase took several thousand dollars in payoffs to help two unnamed gamblers in their home country win at least $460,000 on bets placed on the speed and outcome of certain pitches.They say Ortiz, who earned a $782,600 salary this year, rigged pitches in games against the Seattle Mariners and the St. Louis Cardinals this summer.One of Ortiz’s lawyers, Chris Georgalis, has denied the charges, saying payments between his client and individuals in the Dominican Republic that are cited in the case were for legal activities.Prosecutors say Clase, who is on the fourth season of a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mlb-sports-business-emmanuel-clase-cleveland-d28bc34ddcadaf8b0b924178e08a7b9d">$20 million, five-year contract</a>, recruited Ortiz into the scheme. They say the Guardians' all-time saves leader began providing bettors with information about his pitches in 2023, but didn’t ask for payoffs until this year.In one instance, prosecutors said Clase spoke to to one of the betters by phone just before taking the mound in a game last April against the Boston Red Sox. Minutes later, the bettor and his associates won $11,000 on a wager that Clase would toss a certain pitch slower than 97.95 mph (157.63 kph).Clase and Ortiz are each charged with wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery.The gambling-related arrests are the latest to roil American professional sports.Last month, more than 30 people, including Portland Trail Blazers head coach and Basketball Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, were <a href="https://apnews.com/article/miami-heat-terry-rozier-gambling-probe-de98ecb76bb8f13b85f4c5ac62f66221">arrested in a gambling sweep</a> that involved leaked inside information about NBA athletes and rigged poker games backed by Mafia families.Major League Baseball, following the indictments of Clase and Ortiz, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mlb-pitch-level-bets-clase-ortiz-5d98753c33acc78d3933d2450ee6bac8">announced new limits</a> on betting on individual pitches.

It will be a busy opening day of action at the Los Angeles Olympics for the fastest women in the world.As part of a seismic schedule change for the 2028 Games, track and field, and not swimming, will lead off the Olympics. In releasing the detailed schedule Wednesday, organizers revealed that the first day at the LA Coliseum, July 15, will include all three rounds of the women’s 100 meters.Sprinters normally run a maximum of two races in a day at a major event. It’s a change the men will not have to deal with, but that a women’s field that could include the last two world champions, Sha’Carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, and Olympic champ Julien Alfred are being given nearly three years to prepare for.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>“To be the pre-eminent event on the first night of competition in the historic LA Memorial Coliseum, I think when we presented it to the athletes that way, there was excitement,” said Janet Evans, the gold-medal swimmer serving as chief athlete officer for the Los Angeles Games. “A majority of athletes said to me, ‘Just let me know. Let me know early, and I’ll start training to run three 100s in one day.”Swimming to take place at SoFiSwimming has traditionally kicked off the Summer Games, but because the opening ceremony is taking place at SoFi Stadium, same as the swim meet, organizers decided to make the swap. It was not feasible to set up the pool in the stadium so quickly after the ceremony.Evans, who won four Olympic gold medals in 1988 and 1992, said the prospect of swimming in what is largely considered LA’s best new stadium in front of 38,000 fans is an opportunity her sport embraced. Also, swimmers are often forced to miss the opening because they compete the very next day.“I could probably name on my two hands the swimmers I know who have actually been to opening ceremonies,” Evans said.Schedule not set up for McLaughlin-Levrone doubleThe schedule also makes it virtually impossible for Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone to try to double in both the 400 meters and the 400 hurdles.McLaughlin-Levrone is the world-record holder and two-time defending champion in the hurdles. She took a year off from that to run in the 400 sprint this year, where at the world championships she became the first runner since 1985 to <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mclaughlinlevrone-400-track-worlds-ab84760c33725bf13f4f95f7c5314372">run the lap in less than 48 seconds (47.78).</a> (Second-place finisher Marileidy Paulino also broke 48.)McLaughlin-Levrone’s coach, Bobby Kersee, had hinted at the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mclaughlinlevrone-hurdles-400-double-worlds-b63361f41d87700aa6fd6cda18399be1">possibility she might go for the double</a>. In the past — most notably in 1996 when Michael Johnson won the 200 and 400 — organizers have tailored the Olympic schedule to allow marquee track athletes to try for extra medals.Not this time, though. The 400 hurdles semifinals and 400-meter final are each scheduled for July 20.Chief of Sport and Games Delivery Shana Ferguson said LA consulted with World Athletics in designing the schedule.“I can’t speak directly to any particular athlete’s schedule or how he or she is approaching the Games but we are arm and arm in the development of a contest schedule,” Ferguson said.___AP Olympics: <a href="https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games">https://apnews.com/hub/2024-paris-olympic-games</a>

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Jalen Hurts threw a 36-yard pass to DeVonta Smith for Philadelphia’s only touchdown as the Eagles’ defense led the way to a 10-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

</blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></figure>Brandon McManus' attempt at a game-tying, 64-yard field goal as time expired fell several yards short.Green Bay's second straight loss dropped the Packers (5-3-1) to third place in the NFC North, behind Detroit and Chicago. The Packers, who owned the NFC’s best record before their 16-13 loss to Carolina on Nov. 2, would have the conference’s seventh and final playoff seed if the regular season ended now.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>A defensive struggle that featured the first halftime tie of the season had a serious lack of big plays until the Eagles (7-2) delivered a one-two punch early in the fourth quarter.Philadelphia led 3-0 and faced third-and-7 from its own 23 when Saquon Barkley caught a pass 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, made a spin move past cornerback Carrington Valentine and burst up-field for a 41-yard gain.On the next play, Smith made a leaping catch in the end zone over safety Evan Williams, giving the Eagles a 10-0 lead with 10:35 remaining.Green Bay cut Philadelphia’s advantage to 10-7 on Josh Jacobs’ 6-yard touchdown run with 5:49 left. The Packers then had a couple more opportunities in the closing minutes.The Packers got the ball back at their own 10 with 2:18 and two timeouts remaining, but that drive ended when Josh Jacobs fumbled while getting stopped for a 4-yard loss on fourth-and-1 from Green Bay’s 44.Green Bay had one last chance with 27 seconds left from its own 36 after the Eagles threw a long incompletion on fourth-and-6 rather than punting. An 18-yard completion from Jordan Love to Bo Melton got the Packers beyond midfield, but McManus couldn't convert what would have been the longest field goal in team history.The Packers couldn’t get a measure of revenge against the defending Super Bowl champions.Philadelphia had beaten the Packers twice last season, knocking them off 34-29 in Brazil on the season’s opening week and then beating them 22-10 at Philadelphia in the wild-card round of the NFC playoffs.During the offseason, the Packers proposed banning the tush push that Philadelphia has used so effectively in short-yardage situations over the last few years. The measure was supported by 22 of the NFL’s 32 teams, two votes shy of the three-quarters majority needed for passage.The Packers actually executed the first quarterback sneak of the game, and Love didn’t need a push to convert a fourth-and-1 on the game’s opening series. During its first drive, Philadelphia answered with a tush push that gave Hurts a 3-yard gain on third-and-1 from the Eagles’ 18-yard line.There weren’t many other successful plays by either offense for much of the night.This was the first NFL game to be scoreless at halftime since Dec. 10, 2023, when both the Minnesota Vikings’ <a href="https://apnews.com/article/vikings-raiders-score-3-0-joseph-39365e49b2e51f938232040940e3cb78">3-0 victory</a> over the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets’ <a href="https://apnews.com/article/texans-jets-score-wilson-1ad9c2d71113d328ce5340192052e3af">30-6 triumph</a> over the Houston Texans had no first-half points. Philadelphia finally broke through when Jake Elliott’s 39-yard field goal capped the Eagles’ opening series of the second half.Each quarterback fumbled away his team’s best first-half scoring opportunity.Green Bay’s Edgerrin Cooper knocked the ball away from Hurts at the end of an 11-yard run that would have put the Eagles inside Green Bay’s 15-yard line on Philadelphia’s opening series. Keisean Nixon recovered the fumble and returned it 22 yards.The Packers had second-and-10 at Philadelphia’s 27 in the final minute of the second quarter when Love lost the ball while getting sacked by Nakobe Dean. The fumble was recovered by Jaelan Phillips, who was making his Eagles debut after coming over from Miami at the trade deadline last week.InjuriesEagles: RT Lane Johnson went to the locker room with an ankle injury in the second quarter but returned in the fourth quarter.

Major League Baseball said its authorized gaming operators will cap bets on individual pitches at...

Major League Baseball said its authorized gaming operators will cap bets on individual pitches at $200 and exclude them from parlays, a day after two Cleveland Guardians were indicted and accused of rigging pitches at the behest of gamblers.MLB said Monday the limits were agreed to by sportsbook operators representing more than 98% of the U.S. betting market. The league said in a statement that pitch-level bets on outcomes of pitch velocity and of balls and strikes "present heightened integrity risks because they focus on one-off events that can be determined by a single player and can be inconsequential to the outcome of the game.""The risk on these pitch-level markets will be significantly mitigated by this new action targeted at the incentive to engage in misconduct," the league said. "The creation of a strict bet limit on this type of bet, and the ban on parlaying them, reduces the payout for these markets and the ability to circumvent the new limit."<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>MLB said the agreement included Bally’s, Bet365, BetMGM, Bet99, Betr, Caesars, Circa, DraftKings, 888, FanDuel, Gamewise, Hard Rock, Intralot, Jack Entertainment, Mojo, Northstar Gaming, Oaklawn, Penn, Pointsbet, Potawatomi, Rush Steet and Underdog.Cleveland pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz were indicted Sunday in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn on charges they took bribes from sports bettors to throw certain types of pitches. They were charged with wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery and money laundering conspiracy. The indictment says they helped two unnamed gamblers in the Dominican Republic win at least $460,000 on bets placed on the speed and outcome of certain pitches, including some that landed in the dirt.Ortiz's lawyer, Chris Georgalis, said in a statement that his client was innocent and "has never, and would never, improperly influence a game — not for anyone and not for anything." A lawyer for Clase, Michael J. Ferrara, said his client “has devoted his life to baseball and doing everything in his power to help his team win. Emmanuel is innocent of all charges and looks forward to clearing his name in court."The U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 ruled the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 was unconstitutional, allowing states to legalize sports betting.Ortiz appeared Monday in federal court in Boston. U.S. Magistrate Judge Donald L. Cabell granted Ortiz his release on the condition he surrender his passport, restrict his travel to the Northeast U.S. and post a $500,000 bond, $50,000 of it secured. Ortiz was ordered to avoid contact with anyone who could be viewed as a victim, witness or co-defendant.Last month, more than 30 people, including Portland Trail Blazers head coach and Basketball Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, were arrested for their alleged roles in a purported scheme for gamblers to use inside information.Billups' attorney, Chris Heywood, issued a statement denying the allegations and Rozier’s lawyer, Jim Trusty, said in a statement his client is "not a gambler" and "looks forward to winning this fight."

TURIN, Italy (AP) — Jannik Sinner got his title defense at the ATP Finals off to a solid start before his home fans with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Felix Auger-Aliassime on Monday.To also claim the year-end No. 1 ranking. Sinner needs to win the season-ending event for the top eight players and hope Carlos Alcaraz doesn’t reach the final.No. 8-ranked Auger-Aliassime appeared slowed by a left calf issue and was twice treated by a trainer during the second set.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Sinner won the title in Turin last year without dropping a set and hasn’t lost at the event since the 2023 final to Novak Djokovic.Sinner has also won all four of his meetings with Auger-Aliassime this year, including a U.S. Open semifinal and the recent Paris Masters final.Sinner and Alexander Zverev lead the Bjorn Borg group with one win each after Zverev beat Ben Shelton on Sunday.The top two finishers in each group advance to the semifinals.<h3>Fritz beats weary Musetti</h3>Earlier, Taylor Fritz beat late entry Lorenzo Musetti 6-3, 6-4.Unlike Musetti, who was making his debut, Fritz has pedigree in the tournament after reaching the final last year and the semifinals on debut in 2022. He'd also spent the past week preparing on the indoor court.“A very important one to win I would say if I want to make it out of the group,” Fritz said. “He plays quite different with the slices and everything. So it took me some time to get used to it.“I was able to avoid getting broken early in the match when he had some chances. Then I feel like I kind of got into the match more. … I thought I played really well."Musetti was a late replacement for Djokovic, who withdrew with an injured shoulder after beating the Italian in the Athens final on Saturday. Musetti arrived in Turin only on Sunday but couldn't ride his hometown crowd's support.“I couldn’t be at 100% in shape, especially physically,” Musetti said. “Mentally, I’m really glad that I’m here. I’m super proud of myself, of my team, of what we achieved. Today, I tried to fight with what I had."Fritz and Alcaraz lead the Jimmy Connors group with one win each, while De Minaur and Musetti trail with one loss each.On Tuesday, Fritz plays Alcaraz and Musetti plays Alex de Minaur.___AP tennis: https://apnews.com/hub/tennis

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Justin Herbert threw for 220 yards and a touchdown while Aaron Rodgers stumbled to his worst game of the season as the Los Angeles Chargers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 25-10 on Sunday night for their third straight win.After opening the season with three consecutive victories over AFC West rivals, the Chargers lost three of four to drop out of first. But they bounced back with wins over Minnesota and Tennessee before humbling Rodgers in prime time.The Chargers' defense kept Rodgers without a touchdown until he hit Roman Wilson for a 27-yard score with 2:57 left in the game. The four-time MVP was 16 of 31 for 161 yards, got sacked three times and was intercepted twice while looking every bit of his 41 years.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Coming off a rousing 27-20 win over AFC South-leading Indianapolis last week, the AFC North-leading Steelers (5-4) have dropped three of four. They were 0 for 9 on third down before converting on their lone TD drive. Their other points came on a 59-yard field goal by Chris Boswell in the first.Trailing 15-3, Rodgers threw three straight incompletions, with Chargers cornerback Cam Hart breaking up the last one intended for DK Metcalf in the end zone, and the Steelers turned it over on downs early in the fourth.The Chargers answered right back, with Herbert's 58-yard throw to Ladd McConkey setting up Kimani Vidal's 2-yard touchdown run that extended their lead to 22-3. Vidal had 25 carries for 95 yards and his second rushing score of the season.Herbert finished 20 of 33 and took five sacks. He ran for 19 yards on five carries.The Steelers led 3-0 when Rodgers fumbled, fell on the ball in the end zone and was tackled by Khalil Mack for a safety in the first. It was the Chargers' first safety since Oct. 23, 2022, against Seattle.The first touchdown of the game came after Rodgers was intercepted — his sixth of the season — with a throw into the hands of Chargers rookie RJ Mickens. Herbert then hit a wide-open McConkey with a 15-yard TD pass for a 12-3 lead late in the second.Cameron Dicker kicked field goals of 32, 59 and 42 yards for the Chargers. The 59-yarder tied his record for the longest in team history and extended LA's lead to 15-3 in the third. His 55-yard attempt from hit the left upright later in the quarter, leaving him 50 of 53 at SoFi Stadium.Keenan Allen made two catches to reach 956 with the Chargers, surpassing Hall of Famer Antonio Gates for the most receptions in franchise history.<figure class="article-segment--embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Chargers humble Rodgers, Steelers on SNF for 3rd straight win

NEW YORK (AP) — Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted on ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted on charges they took bribes from sports bettors to throw certain types of pitches, including tossing balls in the dirt instead of strikes, to ensure successful bets.According to the indictment unsealed Sunday in federal court in Brooklyn, the highly paid hurlers took several thousand dollars in payoffs to help two unnamed gamblers from their native Dominican Republic win at least $460,000 on in-game prop bets on the speed and outcome of certain pitches.Clase, the Guardians' former closer, and Ortiz, a starter, have been on non-disciplinary paid leave since July, when MLB started investigating what it said was unusually high in-game betting activity when they pitched. Some of the games in question were in April, May and June.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Ortiz, 26, was arrested Sunday by the FBI at Boston Logan International Airport. He is expected to appear in federal court in Boston on Monday. Clase, 27, was not in custody, officials said.Ortiz and Clase "betrayed America’s pastime," U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. said. "Integrity, honesty and fair play are part of the DNA of professional sports. When corruption infiltrates the sport, it brings disgrace not only to the participants but damages the public trust in an institution that is vital and dear to all of us."Ortiz's lawyer, Chris Georgalis, said in a statement that his client was innocent and "has never, and would never, improperly influence a game — not for anyone and not for anything."Georgalis said Ortiz's defense team had previously documented for prosecutors that the payments and money transfers between him and individuals in the Dominican Republic were for lawful activities."There is no credible evidence Luis knowingly did anything other than try to win games, with every pitch and in every inning. Luis looks forward to fighting these charges in court," Georgalis said.A lawyer for Clase, Michael J. Ferrara, said his client "has devoted his life to baseball and doing everything in his power to help his team win. Emmanuel is innocent of all charges and looks forward to clearing his name in court."The Major League Baseball Players Association had no comment.Unusual betting activity prompted investigationMLB said it contacted federal law enforcement when it began investigating unusual betting activity and has fully cooperated with authorities. “We are aware of the indictment and today’s arrest, and our investigation is ongoing,” a league statement said.In a statement, the Guardians said: “We are aware of the recent law enforcement action. We will continue to fully cooperate with both law enforcement and Major League Baseball as their investigations continue.”Clase and Ortiz are both charged with wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery. The top charges carry a potential punishment of up to 20 years in prison.In one example cited in the indictment, Clase allegedly invited a bettor to a game against the Boston Red Sox in April and spoke with him by phone just before taking the mound. Four minutes later, the indictment said, the bettor and his associates won $11,000 on a wager that Clase would toss a certain pitch slower than 97.95 mph.In May, the indictment said, Clase agreed to throw a ball at a certain point in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the batter swung, resulting in a strike, costing the bettors $4,000 in wagers. After the game, which the Guardians won, Clase sent text messages to one of the bettors with images of a man hanging himself with toilet paper and a sad puppy dog face, the indictment said.Clase, a three-time All-Star and two-time American League Reliever of the Year, had a $4.5 million salary in 2025, the fourth season of a $20 million, five-year contract. The three-time AL save leader began providing the bettors with information about his pitches in 2023 but didn’t ask for payoffs until this year, prosecutors said.The indictment cited specific pitches Clase allegedly rigged — all of them first pitches when he entered to start an inning: a 98.5-mph cutter low and inside to the New York Mets' Starling Marte on May 19, 2023; an 89.4-mph slider to Minnesota's Ryan Jeffers that bounced well short of home plate on June 3, 2023; an 89.4-mph slider to Kansas City's Bobby Witt Jr. that bounced April 12; a 99.1-mph cutter in the dirt to Philadelphia's Max Kepler on May 11; a bounced 89.1-mph slider to Milwaukee's Jake Bauers on May 13; and a bounced 87.5-mph slider to Cincinnati's Santiago Espinal on May 17.Prosecutors said Ortiz, who had a $782,600 salary this year, got in on the scheme in June and is accused of rigging pitches in games against the Seattle Mariners and the St. Louis Cardinals.Ortiz was cited for bouncing a first-pitch 86.7-mph slider to Seattle's Randy Arozarena starting the second inning on June 15 and bouncing a first-pitch 86.7 mph (139.5 kph) slider to St. Louis' Pedro Pagés that went to the backstop opening the third inning on June 27.Dozens of pro athletes have been charged in gambling sweepsThe charges are the latest bombshell developments in a federal crackdown on betting in professional sports. Last month, more than 30 people, including prominent basketball figures such as Portland Trail Blazers head coach and Basketball Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, were arrested in a gambling sweep that rocked the NBA.Sports betting scandals have long been a concern, but a May 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling led to a wave of gambling incidents involving athletes and officials. The ruling struck down a federal ban on sports betting in most states and opened the doors for online sportsbooks to take a prominent space in the sports ecosystem.Major League Baseball suspended five players in June 2024, including a lifetime ban for San Diego infielder Tucupita Marcano for allegedly placing 387 baseball bets with a legal sportsbook totaling more than $150,000.

SEATTLE (AP) — Lenny Wilkens, a three-time inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame who was ensh...

SEATTLE (AP) — Lenny Wilkens, a three-time inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame who was enshrined as both a player and a coach, has died, his family said Sunday. He was 88.The family said Wilkens was surrounded by loved ones when he died and did not immediately release a cause of death.Wilkens was one of the finest point guards of his era who later brought his calm and savvy style to the sideline, first as a player-coach and then evolving into one of the game’s great coaches.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>He coached 2,487 games in the NBA, which is still a record. He became a Hall of Famer as a player, as a coach and again as part of the 1992 U.S. Olympic team — on which he was an assistant. Wilkens coached the Americans to gold at the Atlanta Games as well in 1996.“Lenny Wilkens represented the very best of the NBA — as a Hall of Fame player, Hall of Fame coach, and one of the game’s most respected ambassadors,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Sunday. “So much so that, four years ago, Lenny received the unique distinction of being named one of the league’s 75 greatest players and 15 greatest coaches of all time.”Wilkens was a nine-time All-Star as a player, was the first person to reach 1,000 wins as an NBA coach and was the second person inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a player and coach. He coached the Seattle SuperSonics to the NBA title in 1979 and remained iconic in that city for the rest of his life, often being considered a godfather of sorts for basketball in Seattle — which lost the Sonics to Oklahoma City in 2008 and has been trying to get a team back since.And he did it all with grace, something he was proud of.“Leaders don’t yell and scream,” Wilkens told Seattle’s KOMO News earlier this year.Wilkens, the 1994 NBA coach of the year with Atlanta, retired with 1,332 coaching wins — a league record that was later passed by Don Nelson (who retired with 1,335) and then Gregg Popovich ( who retired with 1,390).Wilkens played 15 seasons with the St. Louis Hawks, SuperSonics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trail Blazers. He was an All-Star five times with St. Louis, three times in Seattle and once with Cleveland in 1973 at age 35. A statue depicting his time with the SuperSonics was installed outside Climate Pledge Arena in June.“Even more impressive than Lenny’s basketball accomplishments, which included two Olympic gold medals and an NBA championship, was his commitment to service — especially in his beloved community of Seattle where a statue stands in his honor,” Silver said. “He influenced the lives of countless young people as well as generations of players and coaches who considered Lenny not only a great teammate or coach but also an extraordinary mentor who led with integrity and true class.”Leonard Wilkens was born Oct. 28, 1937, in New York. His basketball schooling came on Brooklyn’s playgrounds and at a city powerhouse, then Boys High School, where one of his teammates was major league baseball star Tommy Davis. He would go on to star at Providence College and was drafted by the Hawks as the sixth overall pick in 1960.His resume as a player would have been enough to put Wilkens in consideration for the Hall of Fame. What he accomplished as a coach — both through success and longevity — cemented his legacy.Countless other honors also came his way, including being elected to the FIBA Hall of Fame, the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, the College Basketball Hall of Fame, the Providence Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Wall of Honor.His coaching stops included two stints in Seattle totaling 11 seasons, two seasons in Portland — during one of which he still played and averaged 18 minutes per game — seven seasons in both Cleveland and Atlanta, three seasons in Toronto and parts of two years with the Knicks.Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who played for Wilkens from 1989 to 1993, remembers him most for the dignity with which he maneuvered through life.“He was such a dignified human being and a great leader with this kind of quiet confidence,” Kerr said. “He’d been through quite a bit in his life, in his childhood, just in America and dealing with being a Black man in America. And he shared some of that with us and for him to forge the career that he did in the game and to make the impact that he did on so many people, pretty impressive.”Wilkens moved into first place on the wins list on Jan. 6, 1995, while coaching the Hawks. His 939th victory surpassed Red Auerbach’s record. From there, he became the first coach to reach 1,000 career wins, a mark since matched by nine others.The possibility of playing and coaching at the same time was raised before the 1969 season when Wilkens was at the home of SuperSonics general manager Dick Vertlieb and playing a leisurely game of pool.“I thought he was crazy,” Wilkens recalled. “I kept putting him off, but he was persistent. Finally, we were getting so close to training camp, so I said, ‘What the heck, I’ll try it.’”From there, he became increasingly enamored with coaching.Seattle trailed the Cincinnati Royals by four points with a few seconds remaining when Wilkens set up a play that resulted in a dunk. Then, he ordered his players to press since the Royals were out of timeouts. The Sonics stole the inbounds pass, scored again to tie the game and won in overtime.“I was like, ‘Wow!”’ Wilkens said. “I had just done something as a coach that helped us win, not as a player.”After his coaching career ended in 2005, Wilkens returned to the Seattle area where he lived every offseason. Wilkens ran his foundation for decades, with its primary benefactor being the Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic in Seattle’s Central District.Wilkens is survived by his wife, Marilyn; their children, Leesha, Randy and Jamee; and seven grandchildren.

SAO PAULO (AP) — McLaren driver Lando Norris significantly extended his lead in the F1 championship after winning the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, with his main rival and teammate Oscar Piastri receiving a 10-second penalty and again failing to make the podium.Norris, who also won Saturday's sprint race and started from pole position, earned his first win at Interlagos with Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli and Red Bull's Max Verstappen second and third, respectively.Norris, who also won the Mexican Grand Prix on Oct. 26, now has 390 points in the standings, with Piastri's fifth place leaving him 24 points behind on 366 with three more races to go.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>At a press conference after the race, Norris said that he doesn't feel he is now in a commanding position to win the title, calling it "just another weekend trying to win, get the most points I could."Piastri has struggled lately; he is now winless in six races and has not reached the podium since Monza in Italy two months ago when he finished third.Four-time world champion Verstappen has 341 points in third place overall and has played down his title chances.It was a frustrating weekend for Ferrari drivers. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton both failed to finished the race in Sao Paulo."It is a nightmare," Hamilton told Sky Sports. "It is a flip between the dream of driving for this amazing team and then the nightmare of the results."'Still a long way to go'Norris won his seventh race of the season, the same number as Piastri. Asked after the race how he managed to bounce back in the championship, Norris replied: "Just ignore everyone who talked crap about you."He added, "Still a long way to go (in the drivers' championship), this could change so quickly."Piastri's chances were hurt shortly after Lap 8, when he made contact with Antonelli as they fought for second position. Piastri pushed the Mercedes driver into Leclerc, who was forced to retire as a result. Piastri, who started the race in fourth spot, later received his time penalty for causing the collision."In my opinion, I had a very clear opportunity in the inside," said Piastri, who argued he couldn't have gone anywhere else when the contact took place. "I can't just disappear."The next Grand Prix is in Las Vegas in two weeks' time. Norris said he is not confident he and McLaren will compete for a win there."It was our worst race last year. I can't say I am looking forward to it," Norris said.The 25-year-old Englishman dedicated his win to Indianapolis 500 winner and Brazilian icon Gil de Ferran, who died in 2023."This one was for Gil, one of my mentors ... This one was for him. I'm sure he'd be very proud of it all," Norris said. "I was thinking of that while driving. A perfect weekend."Verstappen on the podiumVerstappen, who also has a long shot at the drivers' title, finished on the podium from the pit lane. He was supposed to start from 16th position after a frustrating qualifying session, but his team made sweeping changes to his car, including a new engine. The team's move eventually paid off."To be in the podium from the pit lane, I didn't expect that at all. Even less after a puncture at the start," said Verstappen, who won last year's race starting from 17th.A relaxed Verstappen poured Champagne over Antonelli on the podium. The 19-year-old Antonelli had the best result of his career after a battle with the Dutchman on the final lap to keep his position."I don't know where this guy came from," the Italian jokingly said after the race.Brazilian fans at Interlagos were frustrated from Lap 1, when Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto crashed out in what looked to be a more promising outing after he overtook three rivals in quick succession.The 21-year-old F1 rookie was the first Brazilian to race in front of home fans since Felipe Massa in 2017.

Texas returned to the top 10 of <a href="https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll">The Associated Press college football poll</a> on Sunday, the Atlantic Coast Conference has five teams ranked for the first time this season and two Group of Five conferences are now represented in the Top 25 a month before the playoff bracekt is set. The top five was unchanged.The Longhorns, the preseason No. 1 team, are ranked No. 10 in advance of its visit to No. 5 Georgia this week. They had been in the top 10 for the first six polls before their loss at Florida knocked them out of the Top 25 for a week.Four straight wins elevated them to No. 13 last week, and they jumped three spots ahead of BYU and Virginia and an idle Oklahoma, which they beat 23-6 on Oct. 11. Texas did not play over the weekend.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Ohio State was No. 1 for the 11th week in a row with 55 first-place votes.

No. 3 Texas A&amp;M got four first-place votes, three more than a week ago, and was 31 points behind Indiana. Alabama and Georgia rounded out the top five.

That's reflected in the closely bunched group of ACC teams in the poll — No. 14 Georgia Tech, No. 16 Miami, No. 19 Louisville, No. 20 Virginia and No. 23 Pittsburgh. The last time the ACC had as many ranked teams was Nov. 3, 2024.The race for the Group of Five's automatic bid in the College Football Playoff got more interesting with <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tulane-memphis-score-12714ee38dcc6b53898378d780c43c21">Memphis' loss to Tulane</a> on Friday. The CFP committee did not have a G5 team in its top 25 but said Memphis was first in line. That will almost certainly change when the committee's next rankings come out Tuesday.No. 24 James Madison of the Sun Belt Conference made its first AP poll appearance since 2023. The Dukes are 8-1, their only loss to Louisville, and are the highest-ranked G5 team.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — No. 4 Alabama delivered its best defensive effort in Southeastern Conference play this season and beat LSU 20-9 on Saturday night, keeping the Tigers out of the end zone for the first time since the 2012 national championship game.The Crimson Tide (8-1, 6-0 SEC, No. 4 CFP) allowed just 13 first downs and 232 yards while winning their eighth consecutive game. Alabama extended its home winning streak to 17 games, the longest in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and remained on track for a spot in the league title game and the College Football Playoff.Ty Simpson completed 21 of 35 passes for 277 yards and a touchdown.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Garrett Nussmeier completed 18 of 21 passes for 121 yards for LSU (5-4, 2-4), but he was benched in the third quarter in favor of sophomore Michael Van Buren.It was a disappointing debut for LSU interim coach Frank Wilson, who took over when Brian Kelly was fired. The Tigers were penalized 10 times and were limited to nine points in four red-zone trips as they lost to the Crimson Tide for the third straight year.A relatively modest performance for Alabama's offense — 344 total yards — was boosted by explosive plays. Simpson completed four passes of 30 or more yards in the first half; LSU had only given up five all season before Saturday.Poll implicationsAlabama should hold strong at No. 4 in the <a href="https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll">next AP Top 25 poll</a> since Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&amp;M all won.The takeawayLSU: The Tigers have lost three in a row and four of five. With three games remaining and a quarterback change, questions will arise about who will start for the remainder of the season. Alabama: It wasn't a dominant showing, but the Tide avoided an upset. They control their destiny to the SEC championship game with two conference games left. Injury updateLSU receiver Nic Anderson left in the third quarter because of a knee injury. He returned to the sidelines in the fourth on crutches.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Carlos Hernandez returned a bouncing punt 88 yards in the third quarter for the game’s only touchdown, and Wake Forest handed No. 12 Virginia its first Atlantic Coast Conference loss of the season, 16-9 on Saturday night.Playing most of the night without quarterback Chandler Morris, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/virginia-chandler-morris-injury-bd31789d7febebbbd0358e9d7b221f7b">who was injured on a second-quarter run</a>, Virginia (8-2, 5-1, No. 14 CFP) became the last ACC team to lose a league game this year, disappointing a crowd of 55,568 at Scott Stadium that had been energized by the Cavaliers' best start in 35 years.Connor Calvert hit three field goals for the Demon Deacons (6-3, 3-3), including from 50 and 49 yards in the second half.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Virginia totaled 327 yards of offense to just 203 for Wake Forest, but the Cavaliers were held without a touchdown for the first time since a 14-12, four-overtime loss at Miami in 2022.Will Bettridge made three field goals for Virginia. The Cavaliers' final possession ended on fourth down at the 5-yard line when backup Daniel Kaelin’s throw for Jahmal Edrine sailed over the receiver’s head in the end zone.Virginia was able to move the ball at times under Kaelin, who finished 18 of 28 for 145 yards, but the backup QB had two of the Cavaliers' three lost fumbles. J'Mari Taylor, who rushed for 98 yards, fumbled in Wake Forest territory on Virginia's second-to-last possession.Demond Claiborne rushed 25 times for 75 yards for Wake Forest, which was held to just 64 yards passing.The takeawayWake Forest bounced back from a 42-7 drubbing at Florida State last weekend to become bowl-eligible in its first season under coach Jake Dickert.Virginia will need to win out and get some help to make its first ACC championship game since 2019. The Cavaliers’ offense was struggling even before Morris exited.Up nextWake Forest: After playing four of five games on the road, the Demon Deacons host North Carolina next Saturday.Virginia: At Duke, which also has one ACC loss, next Saturday.___Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.

Messi was in the lineup for the first meeting, but not the second.Messi is the heavy favorite to win his second straight MLS MVP award, and if that happens he would be the first back-to-back winner in league history. <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mls-messi-inter-miami-nashville-score-5b1f94547ccbbc34cc451e6cb5666f51">He also won the Golden Boot</a> as MLS’ leading scorer this season, just <a href="https://apnews.com/article/lionel-messi-inter-miami-contract-63900a4036ae1ba4e622f583304a5052">finalized a new three-year deal</a> to remain with the club through 2028 and seems to be playing his best soccer at the perfect time for Inter Miami.This is the first time Inter Miami has gotten this far in the MLS playoffs.

Messi saw to that.With four Nashville defenders around him, Messi scored from the top of the 18-yard box in the 10th minute for a 1-0 lead. And the second goal was from nearly the same spot, albeit much easier.Mateo Silvetti controlled a long pass and got past a Nashville defender, attracting the attention of goalkeeper Joe Willis. Silvetti pushed the ball toward Messi, who had nothing but empty net to shoot at in the 39th minute for a 2-0 edge.Inter Miami is now 19-2-3 this season in MLS play when it scores at least two goals, but Nashville made the Herons earn this one.It appeared, briefly anyway, that Nashville cut the lead in half in the opening minute of the second half, but Sam Surridge’s would-have-been goal was whistled dead because one of his feet got tangled with Inter Miami’s Maxi Falcon on the play and a foul got called.The Inter Miami-Cincinnati winner will play either top-seeded Philadelphia Union or fifth-seeded NYCFC in the East final. The MLS Cup final is scheduled for Dec. 6, and Philadelphia, Cincinnati or Inter Miami would all play host that match if it got to the title game.___AP Sports Writer Tim Reynolds contributed to this story.___AP soccer: <a href="https://apnews.com/soccer">https://apnews.com/soccer</a>

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Hilary Knight scored three times and Team USA routed Canada 6-1 to take a 2-0 lead over their cross-border rivals in the women’s hockey exhibition Rivalry Series on Saturday night.Kelly Pannek, Laila Edwards and Hayley Scamurra, in her Buffalo homecoming, also scored for the Americans who were coming off a series-opening 4-1 win at Cleveland two days earlier. Team USA’s projected backup Gwyneth Philips stopped 29 shots.Knight’s three-goal outing, capped by an empty-net goal, follows Abbey Murphy’s natural hat trick on Thursday.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>The Americans have now won four straight against Canada in the leadup to the Milan Cortina Winter Games. The run includes a 4-3 overtime win at the world championships in the Czech Republic in April.Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin scored and Kayle Osborne stopped 26 shots in her national team debut. Osborne is coming off her rookie season with the PWHL’s New York Sirens, and got the start with coach Troy Ryan going with a younger lineup. Canada left several veterans at home to rest, including projected starting goalie Ann-Renee Desbiens.The series is limited to four games this year and takes a month break with players either returning to college or reporting to their PWHL teams for the start of training camp and start of the season on Nov. 21. The nations will close the series with two games in Edmonton, Alberta, on Dec. 10 and 13.While the Americans are the defending world champs, the Canadians are the defending Olympic champions after winning their fifth gold medal at the 2022 Beijing Games.Knight opened the scoring with a power-play goal 9:26 into the second period by converting a rebound in front after Osborne stopped Megan Keller’s point shot. Knight is the USA captain and has already announced she will be competing in her fifth and final Winter Games.Pannek scored 65 seconds later after Osborne misplayed a dump behind her net. Murphy beat defender Micah Zandee-Hart to the puck and fed Pannek, who one-timed a shot before Osborne could get settled in her crease.Leading 2-1, the Americans erupted for three goals over a 2:56 span in the third period. Edwards started the run by driving across the blue line, avoiding Zandee-Hart’s sliding check and roofing a shot below the crossbar.Canada features a more experienced roster, with much of the core back from 2022, leading to Ryan stressing a message of guarding against complacency.“Sometimes what happens with experienced teams that have experienced a lot of things together, complacency can creep in. So a big part of our job is not to allow that, right?” Ryan told The Associated Press earlier this week.“So when you have trust in people, a lot of times you trust and trust and trust, and it can end up working against you. So it’s just important to not let that stuff creep in,” he added.“So the, ‘Oh, we’ll be fine. Our passing will get better. We’ll be better come the Olympics.’ I don’t believe that.”The Americans, by comparison, feature a much younger roster, with nine players still in college.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Diego Pavia threw a 4-yard pass to Cole Spence in overtime, and No. 15 <a href="https://apnews.com/hub/vanderbilt-commodores">Vanderbilt</a> rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat Auburn 45-38 on Saturday.The win keeps hopes of a College Football Playoff berth alive for Vanderbilt (8-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference, No. 16 CFP). The Commodores had left themselves with no room to spare after losing <a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-vanderbilt-score-88bf46a2da3dfff036fbc0ad81f3580a">34-31 at Texas</a> last week.Auburn's Ashton Daniels tied it up at 38-all by throwing a 23-yard TD pass to Cam Coleman before finding Coleman again for a 2-point conversion with 5:27 left. Daniels' pass into the end zone at the end of regulation was batted down.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>In overtime, needing to match Pavia's TD, Daniels overthrew Coleman in the end zone on fourth-and-7.Pavia threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns, and he ran for 112 yards and another score.Tight end Eli Stowers had 12 catches for 122 yards, and Tre Richardson finished with 124 yards on three receptions. Sedrick Alexander also ran for a pair of TDs in the shootout as Vanderbilt allowed season highs in points and offensive yards well before overtime.Vanderbilt had a chance to try and win in regulation. Coach Clark Lea left the ball in Pavia's hands on fourth-and-1 instead of trying a field goal, and Auburn stopped Pavia for a 3-yard loss with 1:06 left.<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/auburn-tigers">Auburn</a> (4-6, 1-6) hadn't beaten a ranked team on the road since Sept. 21, 2019, and this was the Tigers’ first game since <a href="https://apnews.com/article/auburn-hugh-freeze-fired-ef4a157280be080d5a82220188eec0a3">coach Hugh Freeze was fired</a> and replaced by interim coach DJ Durkin. The Tigers had lost their first four games against ranked opponents by just 29 points combined.Daniels, starting his second straight game, gave Auburn the offensive spark it had lacked much of this season. He threw for 353 yards and two TDs, and he ran for 89 yards and two more scores.The takeawayAuburn: The Tigers hadn’t scored more than 17 points in five SEC games and were held to a season-low 3 points in <a href="https://apnews.com/article/kentucky-auburn-score-8923a882b29975ef6f4aba77f9f6eba7">last week’s loss to Kentucky.</a> They finished with a season-high 544 yards of offense. But they also were flagged 12 times for 91 yards.Vanderbilt: The Commodores hadn't allowed more than the 486 yards they gave up in their first loss this season at Alabama. They sacked Daniels twice but could not contain him.
