Wembanyama's MRI shows no ligament damage in hyperextended knee; All-Star to miss Spurs-Pacers game

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs say an MRI showed center Victor Wembanyama sustained no ligament damage in his injured left knee, and their All-Star center will not play Friday in Indiana.

The Spurs said Thursday that Wembanyama’s status is day-to-day. He did not travel with the team to face the NBA-worst Pacers (6-28), and instead will rehabilitate the injury in San Antonio.

Wembanyama hyperextended his left knee with just under 11 minutes remaining in San Antonio's 134-132 victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday.

By New Year’s Day, after a Texas two-step in the playoff, the 10th-ranked Hurricanes (12-2, CFP No. 10 seed) were a win away from a chance to play for a national championship in their home stadium.

“It means everything to this team,” quarterback Carson Beck said. “This team has constantly battled through adversity, constantly... Read More

A Georgia-Ole Miss rematch provides ample intrigue to their CFP quarterfinal clash at the Sugar Bowl

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Having proved they could win as a favorite without ex-coach Lane Kiffin in the first round of the College Football Playoff, the No. 6 Mississippi Rebels face a tougher test against No. 3 Georgia in a quarterfinal matchup at the Sugar Bowl on Thursday night.

Georgia (12-1, CFP No. 3 seed) was the only team this season to defeat Ole Miss (12-1, CFP No. 6 seed) when they met in Athens, Georgia, on Oct. 18. But that game was a thriller, with the Rebels leading after three quarters before the Bulldogs stormed back with 17 unanswered points in the fourth for a 43-35... Read More

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson says he's expecting to play when the Baltimore Ravens take on the Steelers in Pittsburgh for the AFC North title Sunday night.
