Garza, Nunge lead No. 3 Iowa past Western Illinois, 99-58<\/p>\n
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP)\u2014 Luka Garza scored 35 points, 30 in the first half, and Jack Nunge added 18 as No. 3 Iowa stayed undefeated with a 99-58 home win over Western Illinois. It was the second consecutive game in which Garza scored 30 or more points in the first half. The preseason All-American also pulled down 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n
Nunge, who missed the Hawkeyes\u2019 first two games this season because of his father\u2019s death, matched his career scoring high.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Remy Martin produced another impressive performance on California\u2019s home floor, finishing with 22 points, five assists and four rebounds as No. 25 Arizona State beat the Golden Bears 70-62 in the Pac-12 opener for both schools. Prized freshman Josh Christopher added 14 points for the Sun Devils, and Holland Woods knocked down a key 3-pointer with 2:24 remaining. Cal star Matt Bradley had 20 points and eight rebounds but was just 1 for 9 on 3-pointers.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Keve Aluma had 17 points and 12 rebounds and No. 16 Virginia Tech won its 34th consecutive nonconference game at home, beating VMI 64-57 on Thursday night. Tyrece Radford added 13 points and Justyn Mutts had 10 points and nine rebounds for the Hokies. They led 30-23 at halftime and used a 9-0 run in the second half to take control. Radford had five points in the burst, including a three-point play to finish it. Myles Lewis had 13 points and 12 rebounds for VMI.<\/p>\n
\u2014David McCormack scored 17 points, Ochai Agbaji added 16 and Jalen Wilson had 12, helping seventh-ranked Kansas cruise to a 89-54 victory over lower-division Washburn in the Jayhawks\u2019 long-delayed home opener. Kansas had opened with a pair of games in Florida and beat Kentucky in Indianapolis before returning to Allen Fieldhouse. But their first game played in the Phog since the COVID-19 pandemic began lacked much of the atmosphere that has made the building one of the toughest in college basketball. Levi Braun and Tyler Geiman scored nine points apiece to lead the Ichabods.<\/p>\n

Agent: Anthony Davis inking 5-year deal to return to Lakers<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Anthony Davis is finalizing a five-year contract worth up to $190 million to return to the Los Angeles Lakers, according to his agent.<\/p>\n
One day after LeBron James agreed to a two-year, $85 million contract extension with the Lakers through 2022-23, Davis committed to the Lakers through the 2024-25 season. According to Davis\u2019 agent, the deal includes an early termination clause prior to the fifth year, but the contract is still a clear declaration that the 27-year-old Davis sees his long-term future with the 17-time NBA champions.<\/p>\n
In other NBA news:<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Denver Nuggets have re-signed forward Paul Millsap to a one-year deal. The signing follows the departures of key frontcourt players Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee in free agency. Millsap shot a career-best 43.5% from three-point range last season.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (KRIHS\u2019-tahps pohr-ZIHN\u2019-gihs) is upbeat as he prepares for his start of the season to be delayed over another knee issue. Porzingis had surgery in October after injuring his right knee in his first career playoff game in August. The 7-foot-3 Latvian missed 20 months after tearing the ACL in his left knee in what ended up being his final game with the New York Knicks in early 2018. Porzingis is expected to miss two high-profile games to start the season. The Mavs say Luka Doncic\u2019s European sidekick should be ready in January.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Jrue Holiday says the Bucks\u2019 big investment in him really, really made him feel like they wanted him to be here. The Bucks traded guards Eric Bledsoe and George Hill, first-round draft choice R.J. Hampton plus two future first-round selections as part of a four-team trade to pick up Holiday. The Bucks gave the New Orleans Hornets the right to swap two future first-round picks as well.<\/p>\n

Steelers, Chiefs, Saints closing in on playoff spots<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers and the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs are closing in on clinching their respective divisions going into Week 13.<\/p>\n
The Steelers, who are 11-0, can wrap up the AFC North with a win over Washington on Monday night and a Browns loss against Tennessee on Sunday. The Steelers can clinch a playoff spot with a win or losses by the Raiders, Dolphins or Colts on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs can take the AFC West again with a win over the Broncos on Sunday night and a Raiders loss to the winless Jets. Or earn a playoff spot with a win.<\/p>\n
And in the NFC, the Saints, who have won eight in a row, can clinch a playoff spot with a win and a loss by the reeling Bears.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere around the NFL:<\/p>\n
\u2014 Josh Gordon was conditionally reinstated by the NFL and can begin the process of joining the Seattle Seahawks roster as early as Friday after nearly a one-year suspension following his latest off-field transgression for violations of the league\u2019s substance abuse policies. Gordon was suspended in December 2019. He tested positive for performance enhancers and \u201csubstances of abuse”. Seattle signed Gordon in September hoping he would be reinstated at some point during the 2020 season.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow had knee surgery and is expected to make a full recovery. Burrow\u2019s season ended Nov. 22 when he was hit by Washington pass-rushers and his leg was bent severely. The structural damage in his left knee required surgery and extensive rehabilitation.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Browns star Myles Garrett came through practice OK and is on track to play Sunday at Tennessee after missing two games with COVID-19. Garrett came back on Wednesday and coach Kevin Stefanski said the defensive end looked like himself. The 24-year-old was leading the NFL in sacks when he got sick.<\/p>\n
\u2014 New York Jets coach Adam Gase says he hasn\u2019t done a good enough job of helping quarterback Sam Darnold in their two seasons together. The 23-year-old Darnold has struggled with injuries and inconsistency this season. He has thrown just three touchdown passes and none in his past four-plus games. The Jets are 0-11 and are looking at having the No. 1 overall pick in April. That means both Darnold and Gase could be out after the season.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Saquon (SAY\u2019-kwahn) Barkley has no doubt he will get back on the field and play for the New York Giants once he\u2019s finished rehabilitating the torn ACL in his right knee. However there is not a timetable on his return. The 2018 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year insists his goal is to improve 1% every day. The running back has now been hit with injuries two straight seasons. He missed three games last year because of a high ankle sprain.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Thirty-two players have been nominated for the seventh annual Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, from star quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes to standout center Jason Kelce (KEL\u2019-see) to dynamic defensive end Joey Bosa (BOH\u2019-sah). Each NFL team nominated one player for the award, which recognizes players who exemplify outstanding sportsmanship on the field. It is named for the late founding owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Rooney Sr.<\/p>\n
\u2014 San Francisco 49ers players are pleased with the setup the team has put together for their extended stay in Arizona. The team is staying at a hotel adjacent to the Arizona Cardinals\u2019 stadium, where the Niners will play their next two games. They have set up a weight room and converted a 15,000-square-foot ballroom into a temporary locker room so the players can change at the hotel before going to the practice fields next to the stadium. The players will almost exclusively spend their time at the hotel, practice field and stadium, where they will have everything they need and won\u2019t need to venture into the community.<\/p>\n
MLB-NEWS<\/p>\n
The Minnesota Twins and closer Taylor Rogers have agreed to a $6 million, one-year contract, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the contract had not yet been finalized. Rogers compiled a 4.05 ERA in 21 appearances with nine saves and two blown chances in the abbreviated 60-game season. The left-hander was the last remaining Twins player eligible for arbitration. Rogers took a step back in 2020 after notching 30 saves with 90 strikeouts over 69 innings in 2019.<\/p>\n
Gatto gets Rangers’ one-year deal<\/p>\n
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) \u2014 Right-hander Joe Gatto agreed to a one-year contract with the Texas Rangers, who brought back outfielder Scott Heineman with a one-year deal just one day after allowing him to become a free agent. Gatto would earn the $570,500 major league minimum if he is in the big leagues. Heineman would earn $595,000. The 25-year-old Gatto made two appearances during spring training this year and did not pitch after the coronavirus shutdown. He has never appeared in the major leagues. Heineman, who turns 28 on Friday, hit .154 with one homer and seven RBIs for the Rangers this year.<\/p>\n

VIRUS OUTBREAK-COLLEGE SPORTS<\/p>\n
AP source: Michigan had at least 12 positive COVID-19 cases<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Michigan canceled this weekend\u2019s game against Maryland because it had at least 12 positive COVID-19 cases within the football program, according to a person familiar with the situation.<\/p>\n
While outbreaks have disrupted more than 100 games across major college football since late August, the problems with the Wolverines are being closely watched in part because they could put next week\u2019s rivalry game at No. 3 Ohio State in jeopardy.<\/p>\n
Ohio State has missed two games already in this pandemic-shortened season because of COVID-19 issues. One more would leave the 4-0 Buckeyes unable to reach a conference-mandated minimum to be eligible for the Big Ten championship game and potentially hurt their resume for a playoff berth.<\/p>\n
In other virus-related college sports news:<\/p>\n
\u2014 No. 8 BYU will play at No. 14 Coastal Carolina on Saturday after the Chanticleers\u2019 original opponent, No. 25 Liberty, was hit with COVID-19 issues. The Cougars have been looking to add another game to improve their case for a major bowl bid. The 9-0 Chanticleers have already earned a spot in the Sun Belt championship game, which will be played Dec. 19, but could still be in play to earn a spot in the major bowl game as College Football Playoff selection committee\u2019s highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion. Independent BYU isn\u2019t eligible for that spot and is ranked No. 13 by the committee. The Cougars will likely need to move up at least a spot or two to have a chance for a New Year\u2019s bowl bid and the $4 million payday that comes with it.<\/p>\n
\u2014 No. 12 Iowa State\u2019s most remarkable accomplishment this season might be staying on the field in a season dominated by the pandemic. The Cyclones are one of three Big 12 teams set to finish their 10-game regular season Saturday. The others are Kansas State and Texas Tech. While the Big 12 has only had to reschedule three games so far, there are still the weekly and even daily COVID-19 issues for every team.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Boise State\u2019s football game at UNLV scheduled for Friday night has been canceled. The Mountain West Conference says the game will not be rescheduled. Boise State is scheduled to play at Wyoming next, while UNLV\u2019s next game is scheduled to be at Hawaii, both on Dec. 12.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The Las Vegas Bowl has been canceled because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The decision comes as Nevada state officials ordered a statewide pause that includes smaller public and private gatherings. The game was slated to be the first bowl game played in Allegiant Stadium and was to feature a new matchup between the Pac-12 Conference and Southeastern Conference as part of a rotating cycle that also includes the Big Ten.<\/p>\n
\u2014 No spectators will be allowed at the Rose Bowl for the College Football Playoff semifinal on Jan. 1 because of state, county and city of Pasadena COVID-19 restrictions. The Tournament of Roses says it requested special permission but was denied.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Vanderbilt has canceled its men\u2019s basketball game at SMU on Tuesday, extending its pause on activities. The Commodores announced the cancellation Wednesday night, two days after pausing activities and withdrawing from a pair of games in Connecticut due to a positive test within its program.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Purdue Fort Wayne men\u2019s basketball team has suspended activities and canceled games for the next two weeks because of positive COVID-19 tests within the program. The team canceled Thursday\u2019s game with Adrian, Saturday\u2019s game at Dayton and games against Defiance on Dec. 12 and 13. The next scheduled game is Dec. 19 against Indiana University\u2013Purdue University Indianapolis.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Conference USA has announced a change to this weekend\u2019s football schedule. WKU at Charlotte, which had been previously scheduled to be played on Dec. 1, has been rescheduled for Sunday at noon at Richardson Stadium. Along with this schedule addition, the FIU at Charlotte game that was scheduled for Saturday has been canceled. A final determination of the matchups for the last weekend of the regular season, Dec. 10-12, will be made by Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u2014 The University at Albany men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball programs are on a temporary pause from team activities due to presumptive positive tests among individuals associated with both programs\u2019 Tier 1 group. Tier 1 individuals include coaches, athletes, team managers, athletic trainers, and support staff.<\/p>\n

In world and national news…<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Optimism about delivering long-sought COVID-19 relief is building on Capitol Hill after additional rank-and-file lawmakers voiced support for a bipartisan, middle-of-the-road plan taking shape in the Senate. Also, top congressional leaders connected on the topic for the first time in months. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell \u2014 frequent rivals but proven dealmakers \u2014 spoke on the phone Thursday. Their conversation came the day after Pelosi signaled a willingness to make major concessions in search of a COVID-19 rescue package in the $1 trillion range. Some conservatives, including Republicans from COVID-19 hotspots like North Dakota and Iowa, said they were comfortable with an aid package carrying the almost $1 trillion price tag.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Outgoing National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe says China poses the greatest threat to America and the rest of the free world since World War II. He said in an op-ed published by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday that intelligence shows that Beijing intends to dominate the U.S. and the rest of the planet economically, militarily and technologically. Trump administration officials have been stepping up their anti-China rhetoric for months. President Donald Trump used the campaign trail to warn that Biden would be soft on China, although the president-elect agrees that China is not abiding by international trade rules, is giving unfair subsidies to Chinese companies and stealing American innovation.<\/p>\n

LONDON (AP) \u2014 America\u2019s top infectious disease expert has apologized for suggesting U.K. authorities rushed their authorization of a COVID-19 vaccine, saying he has \u201cgreat faith\u201d in the country\u2019s regulators. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, had sparked controversy with an earlier interview in which he said U.K. regulators hadn\u2019t acted \u201cas carefully\u201d as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Fauci told the BBC late Thursday that he meant to say U.S. authorities do things differently than their British counterparts, not better, but his comments weren\u2019t phrased properly.<\/p>\n

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) \u2014 Americans couldn\u2019t resist the urge to gather for Thanksgiving. That’s according to data from roadways and airports provided to The Associated Press. Americans drove only slightly less than a year ago and largely ignored the pleas of public health experts, who begged them to forgo holiday travel to help contain the coronavirus pandemic. The nation\u2019s unwillingness to tamp down on travel offered a warning in advance of Christmas and New Year\u2019s as virus deaths and hospitalizations hit new highs. U.S. deaths from the outbreak eclipsed 3,100 on Thursday, obliterating the single-day record set last spring.<\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Powerful winds have pushed flames through Southern California canyons as an out-of-control wildfire burns near homes, forcing residents to flee. The blaze in Orange County\u2019s Silverado Canyon began late Wednesday as a house fire that quickly spread to tinder-dry brush. It exploded in size early Thursday. Firefighters are struggling in steep terrain amid unpredictable Santa Ana winds that have raised fire danger for much of the region. The blaze broke out as Southern California utilities cut the power to tens of thousands of customers to avoid the threat of wildfires during the windy weather.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Friday\u2019s monthly U.S. jobs report will help answer a key question overhanging the economy: Just how much damage is being caused by the resurgent coronavirus, the resulting curbs on businesses and the reluctance of consumers to shop, travel and dine out? Economists surveyed by the data provider FactSet have forecast that employers added 450,000 jobs in November. In normal times, that would be a healthy increase. But a gain that size would amount to the weakest monthly hiring since April. The unemployment rate is projected to drop one-tenth of a percentage point to 6.8%.<\/p>\n
BEIJING (AP) \u2014 Global stock markets are mostly higher after U.S. jobs data and a pact by oil producers to raise output helped to allay concern following Pfizer’s reduction of the number of coronavirus vaccine doses it might ship this year. Benchmarks in London, Shanghai, Frankfurt and Hong Kong advanced, while Tokyo declined. Fewer Americans applied for jobless benefits last week than expected. OPEC and allies including Russia agreed to raise oil output in January that they had slashed to support prices after the pandemic depressed demand. U.S. stock futures gained, rebounding from Thursday’s decline after Pfizer reduced the number of vaccine doses it might ship this year by half to 50 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has unveiled a $15 billion budget that bumps state spending by 2%. The plan presented Thursday to the Legislature includes a $1.25 billion bonding package largely aimed at funding statewide infrastructure projects.es.\u201d The Legislature will take up the governor\u2019s proposal in its next session, which starts Jan. 5. The Republican governor\u2019s budget is the second-biggest proposed by a governor in state history. Former Gov. Jack Dalrymple proposed a $15.7 billion budget in 2015 that eventually was whittled by lawmakers to $14.2 billion.
