Sports News – NBA news: Kevin Love\u2019s streak ends; Franchise low in points allowed for Celtics; Ilgauskas hospitalized with foot infection<\/strong><\/p>\n

NBA news: Kevin Love\u2019s streak ends<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kevin Love is now sole proprietor of the NBA record for most consecutive double doubles…but the streak is over. He had six points, 12 rebounds and five assists last night against Golden State, ending his run at 53 straight double-doubles.<\/p>\n

We knew Celtics\/Bucks would be low scoring yesterday, as the Celtics defend with the best of \u2019em and the Bucks can\u2019t score. But 56 points? Wow. Boston\u2019s 87-56 win set a new franchise low for points allowed in a game. The Celtics hadn\u2019t allowed fewer than 57 since the adoption of the shot clock.<\/p>\n

Zydrunas Ilgauskas was hospitalized Saturday in South Florida after a freak injury led to a dangerous foot infection. He stepped on a nail that went through his foot and the injury eventually became infected. He was treated with an intravenous Sunday.<\/p>\n

NCAA basketball news: Washington wins berth on buzzer beater from Isaiah Thomas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selection Sunday is over and the NCAA Tournament field is set. Should be a fantastic couple of weeks for sports betting fans. Perhaps the most talked about tourney berth of the weekend was Washington\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cCold….blooded!\u201d That was the call from the legendary Gus Johnson after the Huskies\u2019 Isaiah Thomas hit a buzzer beater against Arizona to clinch both the Pac-10 title and an NCAA Tournament berth on Saturday.<\/p>\n

MLB news: Red Sox shopping Dice-K; muscle strain for Ryan Braun; Injury woes for Cook, Duke, Marcum, Rodriguez<\/strong><\/p>\n

It appears the stacked Boston Red Sox are looking to clear out unwanted veteran bodies as the 2011 season approaches. Reportedly, they\u2019re entertaining offers for fallen ace Daisuke Matsuzaka, Marco Scutaro, Tim Wakefield and Mike Cameron, among others. I understand why most of those names are on the block \u2013 but aren\u2019t they slapping Wakefield in the face a bit? He\u2019s been a stalwart with Boston for a decade and a half.<\/p>\n

Ryan Braun left Saturday\u2019s exhibition game for the Brewers with an intercostal strain in his left size. The superstar is day-to-day for now. He\u2019s battled through this injury in the past and insists he\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n

Another Milwaukee Brewer, newly acquired starter Shaun Marcum, is battling shoulder tightness but says it\u2019s nothing to worry about. The news isn\u2019t so good for several other big-league starters, including Aaron Cook (broken finger), Zach Duke (broken hand) and Wandy Rodriguez (shoulder tendinitis), to name just a few. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

NFL news: Uncapped 2011 season probable if lockout ends; Players file antitrust suit against owners<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the NFL lockout fallout begin. After the owners and player union failed to strike a deal by Friday\u2019s deadline, the owners locked the players out for 2011. If the lockout ends, the 2011 season will likely be played with no salary cap and a general breakdown similar to 2010\u2019s structure. Reportedly, the NFL plans to stick with an uncapped system because it gives them a better chance to withstand the antitrust suit filed against them by the players.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the deadline passed on Friday and the NFLPA decertified, the players filed the antitrust suit in an attempt to block the lockout from happening. The suit claims that the league and its teams have \u201cjointly agreed and conspired to deny Plaintiffs [the players] the ability to provide and\/or market their services…through a patently unlawful group boycott and price-fixing arrangement.\u201d<\/p>\n

NHL news: Sidney Crosby\u2019s father denies retirement rumor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Troy Crosby, Sidney\u2019s father, spoke out recently to deny a wild rumor that surfaced Saturday about his son. There are whispers that Crosby\u2019s family is urging Sid the Kid to retire as he struggles to recover from a serious concussion suffered on January 5.<\/p>\n

But Troy said \u201cWe\u2019re just trying to get him healthy again. However long that takes, that\u2019s how long it\u2019s going to take.\u201d<\/p>\n
