Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:05:03 GMT

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns return specialist Jakeem Grant Sr. will miss his second straight season with an injury after hurting his right knee on the opening kickoff in Saturday’s exhibition in Kansas City.Grant had worked his way back from an Achilles tendon tear only to suffer another major injury the first time he touched the ball for Cleveland in a game. Grant signed a three-year, $10 million contract as a free agent in 2022.The 31-year-old had been brought in to improve the Browns’ return game but got hurt in training camp and missed last season.Coach Kevin Stefanski did not provide any specifics on Grant’s injury, but conveyed his concern for him.“Very disappointed for Jakeem,” Stefanski said on a Zoom call. “To see a guy that worked so hard to come back from the previous injuries.

Harry Kane scores twice to help Bayern Munich beat Augsburg 3-1 in Bundesliga

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:05:03 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Harry Kane scored twice in the Bundesliga on Sunday as Bayern Munich eased to a 3-1 win over Augsburg in their Bavarian derby.A penalty and first-time strike took Kane’s league tally to three goals in two games since his summer switch from Tottenham, though otherwise it was a relatively inconspicuous performance from the England captain.The visitors made a good start to keep Bayern in check as the home team looked short of ideas and energy.But two mistakes led to two first-half goals for the 11-time defending champions.Augsburg goalkeeper Finn Dahmen saved Leroy Sané’s shot, only for the rebound to go in off defender Felix Uduokhai for an own-goal in the 32nd minute, and Kane scored from the penalty spot in the 40th. The penalty was awarded through VAR after Joshua Kimmich’s shot brushed Augsburg defender Niklas Dorsch’s arm.Kane grabbed his second in the 69th with one touch to Alphonso Davies’ pass after great interplay between the Canadian and Kingsley Coman on the l...

After falling early in FIBA World Cup, France quickly turns focus toward Paris Olympics

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:05:03 GMT

Nicolas Batum has been part of France’s national team for about 15 years now. He was part of a gold-medal game loss to the U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics. Part of another gold-medal game loss at last year’s EuroBasket. Part of a pair of semifinal-round losses at the last two FIBA World Cups.Those were all difficult.To him, though, this was worse. Much worse.France — a medal favorite in the eyes of many entering this World Cup and the No. 5-ranked team in the world according to FIBA — won’t even get out of the first round of this tournament, a massive embarrassment for a team that will consider itself a gold-medal favorite when it plays host to the Paris Olympics in 11 months. Latvia eliminated France on Sunday night, winning 88-86 in a group-stage game at Jakarta, Indonesia.“When you lose in the semis or quarterfinals, it’s different. I mean, at least you compete,” Batum said. “We didn’t even get past the first round. We have high expectations. I’m as...
