Dawson’s absence is a huge loss for the Spartans. He’s a stout defender and rebounder, and his athleticism adds another dimension to the Spartans’ offense. And sadly, his injury seems to have been 100 percent avoidable. Considering Adreian Payne continues to battle a foot injury that has forced him to miss the past four games, and with point guard Keith Appling seen grimacing on the court during Tuesday’s win over Indiana (he has been battling shoulder problems), it’s clear that these Spartans are very much less than 100 percent....

The AJC reported last week that in February, Cobb County officials, at the request of the Braves, “quietly passed an ordinance that outlaws property owners within a half-mile of the stadium from charging for parking during games and other special events at the stadium.” That means only the team can profit from parking, and since no public transportation will reach SunTrust Park, driving is really the only option.

After losing 1-0 to Switzerland in their opening game, Cameroon came from two goals down to salvage a 3-3 draw with Serbia in their last match. That leaves the African side with a chance of advancing if they beat Brazil and Switzerland fail to defeat Serbia. The Selecao have won both of their games in Qatar to date without conceding, but are already through to the knockout stages so may take things slightly easier in this clash....

Speaking at an event in his home town of Salamanca Saturday, Del Bosque discussed several issues, such as the excellent relationship between the players in his squad, as well as the challenge awaiting his men in Brazil next summer, reports Xinhua.

Murray suggested he was facing likely retirement during an emotional news conference at Melbourne Park in January, but the Briton has gradually offered a more optimistic outlook since undergoing hip resurfacing surgery and making a successful return as a doubles player.

He then also featured in the men’s and mixed doubles at Wimbledon, partnering Serena Williams in the latter, before playing in the Citi Open alongside brother Jamie and teaming up with Lopez again at the Rogers Cup....

Sarri had only completed one of the three seasons Chelsea contracted him for, but an agreement was reached to allow him to return to Serie A, where he led Napoli to a second-place finish in 2017-18.

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia said: “In talks we had following the Europa League final, Maurizio made it clear how strongly he desired to return to his native country, explaining that his reasons for wanting to return to work in Italy were significant....
