Mourinho handed one-match ban The Real Madrid goalkeeper played the entirety of Costa Rica’s October friendly win over Russia but has not played in a qualifier or at the Copa America Centenario since March because of injury. Two domestic-based defenders, Jose Salvatierra of Alajuelense, a fullback whose national team prospects had dimmed after being a regular, and Pablo Salazar of Herediano, who will be looking for his first minutes with the national team in 2016, are two of the inclusions that perhaps come as a surprise....

However, various leaks in the last week have indicated that college basketball will be returning in limited form just two months from now. Not as its own product; rather, within the incredibly popular NBA 2K series.

2K has emerged as the fan favorite video game for NBA fans over the past few years. In fact, 2K has such an edge over EA Sports’ NBA Live that there will be no NBA Live this year. 2K revolutionized sports video games with its in-depth MyCareer game mode, and we’ve seen other games copy a similar formula in recent years. But while 2K has dominated the market, the video game makers also know they need to improve....

With talent dispersed around the NBA following a chaotic summer, “The Greek Freak” will look to prevent a bevy of challengers from taking the MVP trophy. And that won’t be the only race worth watching — nearly every major award should include a number of strong candidates.

“We just had an unbelievable year with the Rockets,” Gordon said after receiving the award Monday night. MORE: 2017 NBA Draft grades Gordon averaged 16.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game last season, while shooting 37.2 percent from 3-point range. The nine-year NBA veteran’s career has been limited due to injuries but he was a great fit in Houston, where he played in 75 games — appearing in 60 of them off the bench — as a secondary scoring option next to MVP candidate James Harden....

Line: Boston -3.5, Total: 201 (current NBA spreads and totals) Boston (33-41 SU, 42-32 ATS) wasn’t supposed to be sniffing anywhere near the playoffs but is right in the mix, thanks to some major overachieving and the weak Eastern Conference. Indiana is also alive for a playoff spot, which makes this a huge April Fools’ Day battle. Coach Brad Stevens has done a remarkable job plugging in any players that GM Danny Ainge has provided....

Yet here we are, with the NBA bubble seeming like a viable — albeit, wacky — solution to the problems associated with playing professional sports during a global pandemic. There’s no telling how the situation inside the NBA bubble will evolve as it relates to COVID-19, but the league at least was able to bring the 22 teams it invited to Orlando into the bubble in a relatively safe manner....

No wonder why sports books make all the money. Based on the odds, the Bulls and Hawks don’t figure to get out of the East, as the Cavaliers are prohibitively-priced at 1-to-4 to represent the conference in the NBA Finals next June. More NBA betting info: Tuesday’s lines | Win totals | Season props It’s nearly impossible – from where we sit, anyway – to envision the Heat breaking through, and the Lakers, well, they’re 300-to-1 to win it all, among the longest shots on the board....

The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook is still pricing the Cavaliers as the 5-to-2 favorites to win this season’s title, despite LeBron James’ assertion that the Bulls, 6-to-1 odds at the SuperBook, are superior. “The Bulls are a team that’s much better than us right now just off chemistry,” James said. “They’ve been together for a while; we’ve got a long way to go.” The Cavs know they have a lot of work to do before they can operate as a cohesive, championship-caliber unit, but let’s not exaggerate the Bulls’ advantage in the chemistry department....

The five games scheduled for Dec. 25 featured major stars and storylines, but three of those contests were decided by 23 points or more, including the Bucks’ 138-99 shellacking of the Warriors in Milwaukee. The Clippers and Heat each won their matchups by “only” 13 points. A couple of barnburners! So what did we really learn about the teams that played on Christmas Day? Let’s dive into each game....

The league has been full of surprises through the first few weeks of action. The Jazz and Spurs have already defied expectations in the West, while the new-look Cavaliers look incredible with Donovan Mitchell in town. And of course, the Suns and Bucks are still awesome. One thing’s for sure: NBA fans have been treated to an exciting opening stretch of action. And what’s better than a full slate of NBA hoops after a busy work week?...

Fortunately for the Hornets, the latter happened. When they were on the clock late in the second hour of the draft, Kentucky guard Malik Monk was still in the green room, wearing his custom-made suit with “THE WOODZ” — the nickname of his hometown neighborhood in Lepanto, Ark. — printed on the inside of his jacket. “If you looked at it,” Clifford said, “I thought there was a chance he could be there....

The former NC State standout told his story on the Brown and Scoop podcast earlier this week and provided an insight as to what went wrong.

As we get ready to kick off the college season, maybe tamped-down expectations are a good thing. After all, last year’s class of rookies were expected to be a life-changing group, and while it is obviously quite early in their development, the initial results have been ho-hum: Only one draftee, Jabari Parker, is averaging double-digits in scoring, and he is shooting just 41.9 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from the free-throw line....

It turns out Gilgeous-Alexander has been working out in Los Angeles ahead of the draft, and rather than traveling to workouts, sources told Sporting News that his agent, Thad Foucher of the Wasserman Group, had teams interested in drafting Gilgeous-Alexander visit LA to watch him. Gilgeous-Alexander could go as high as No. 6 to Orlando. Cleveland had interest, too, at No. 8, as well as the Hornets at 11. One reason the flow of teams to watch Gilgeous-Alexander was so tightly controlled, a source speculated, was a desire to have him drafted by the Clippers, who have back-to-back picks at Nos....

“I just wanted to take the shot,” Durant said. “It was a good time. There was 45 seconds to go. We were down two. If I miss, we could have got another stop.” It went in, of course, and it’s Durant’s signature moment, for now. That go-ahead shot helped close out a pivotal 118-113 victory at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday. NBA FINALS: Highlights from Golden State’s incredible comeback win...

He then mimicked the celebration dance of former NBA guard Sam Cassell, which was derived from the “marbles” celebration made famous in the 1994 movie “Major League II” by characters Taka Tanaka and Pedro Cerrano....
