Dirk Nowitzki injures knee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Dallas Mavericks, like seemingly half the teams in the NBA, are on fire. They\u2019ve won 17 of their last 18 games. But their latest win last night was costly. Dirk Nowitzki left in the second quarter with what is being called a sore knee. He\u2019ll have a precautionary MRI today but the early whispers are that the injury isn\u2019t too serious.<\/p>\n

Shaquille O\u2019Neal\u2019s pocket is $35,000 lighter after the NBA fined him for publicly criticizing the league\u2019s officiating. After Boston\u2019s loss to Orlando on Christmas Day, in which he fouled out after crashing to the ground with Dwight Howard, Shaq said: I just wonder why I\u2019ve never gotten that call in 20 years. Don\u2019t pick and choose when you\u2019re going to make the call…That\u2019s what happens when you\u2019ve got control freaks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Francis has fallen a long way from the \u201cStevie Franchise\u201d days. The former NBA All-Star starter now can\u2019t even make a Chinese team. The Beijing Ducks have released the out-of-shape Francis, who played 14 minutes and scored two points over 13 days with the team. <\/p>\n

NFL: Redskins defensive tackle Joseph arrested for DUI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Way to go, NFL. It seems that we can always count on one of your players to step up and get arrested during a slow news patch. The latest guy to fall on the grenade: Redskins defensive lineman Joe Joseph, He was arrested at roughly 3:00 a.m. Monday night after a single-car accident. He had made his NFL debut not even 24 hours earlier as a reserve against Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

MLB news: Brewers sign Takashi Saito<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Milwaukee Brewers continue to overhaul their pitching staff. After bolstering their starting rotation with Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum, they\u2019ve added Takashi Saito to their bullpen. He\u2019ll act as a late-inning bridge to closer John Axford. The 40-year-old Saito has a sparkling 2.19 career ERA in the big leagues.<\/p>\n

NCAA football news: Florida without four starters in Outback Bowl<\/strong><\/p>\n

Florida hopes to end Urban Meyer\u2019s tenure on a high note but the task is becoming more challenging by the day. The Gators will be without at least four starters in the Outback Bowl against Penn State on New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Cornerback Janoris Jenkins, right tackle Maurice Hurt and defensive tackles Lawrence Marsh and Terron Sanders will all miss the game due to injury. The biggest loss is arguably Jenkins, who has started 36 of 39 games during his time with Florida and picked off eight passes.<\/p>\n
