Uncertainty next for Mavs after reserve-filled loss to Spurs

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:29:15 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 23 points, and the San Antonio Spurs sent Dallas into an offseason of uncertainty with a 138-117 victory over the Mavericks in a meaningless, reserve-filled finale Sunday.Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and four other regulars were out for Dallas, which is being investigated by the NBA for similar roster decisions two days earlier against Chicago. The Mavericks still had a shot at the final Western Conference play-in spot before blowing an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Bulls.The Spurs sat nine players, but they’ve been out of contention for months and were already locked in to the best draft lottery odds at 14%, along with Detroit and Houston, in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.The loss solidified the 10th-best lottery chances for Dallas at 4.5%, which is part of the reason the NBA opened an investigation when Doncic was pulled early and Irving and four other regulars didn’t play at all against Chicago.

Pirates SS Oneil Cruz fractures left ankle, out indefinitely

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:29:15 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz is out indefinitely after fracturing his left ankle in a collision at home plate during Sunday’s 1-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox.Cruz was attempting to score from third on a chopper by Ke’Bryan Hayes when Cruz’s leg bent awkwardly beneath him while attempting a late slide. Cruz’s leg appeared to collide with the legs of catcher Seby Zavala, who easily tagged out Cruz.The 6-foot-7 Cruz writhed in pain and the benches and bullpens briefly cleared after Pittsburgh designated hitter Carlos Santana appeared to take exception to Zavala’s behavior.There were no ejections and order was quickly restored.Zavala didn’t like how late Cruz decided to slide and mentioned it to Santana, leading to a brief escalation.“I was just talking to Santana about it,” Zavala said. “He didn’t like what I said, he said something I didn’t like. That’s what happened. I think in a couple of days everybody will forget about it.”Cruz...
