Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:08 GMT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic picked up his 16th technical foul of the season on Sunday and now faces a one-game suspension.Unless the NBA office rescinds the technical, Doncic will be forced to sit out the team’s game Monday night against against the Indiana Pacers.Doncic had been chirping at officials for most of Sunday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets and finally got slapped with a technical midway through the third quarter of a tightly contested game.The suspension could prove costly for Dallas, which entered the day tied with Oklahoma City for 10th in the Western Conference but still out of position for a play-in tournament spot because the Thunder hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Mavericks.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

Orioles option left-hander DL Hall, one of team’s top pitching prospects, to build up as starter in Triple-A

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:08 GMT

One of the biggest questions throughout Orioles spring training was answered Sunday afternoon when the club optioned DL Hall to minor league camp.The left-hander had a slow start this spring with a lower back injury — a setback that prevented Hall, the organization’s No. 2 pitching prospect, from being built up as a starter in time for the beginning of the season.The Orioles had two choices: Ramp him up as a starter in the major league bullpen, where he ended the 2022 campaign, or send him to Triple-A to go through his workload progression in Norfolk. They chose the latter option, putting Hall’s future as a starter above the short-term success of the club’s bullpen.“Just had a little bit of a shortened spring training,” manager Brandon Hyde said after the Orioles’ 4-2 win over the Phillies on Sunday. “He threw the ball great, really happy with the progress he made. I loved the way he threw the ball all spring training. We just want to ...

Orioles observations on Andrew Politi’s roster case, Jorge Mateo in center, Keegan Akin’s versatility and more

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:08 GMT

Andrew Politi said he wasn’t too nervous at the start of Orioles spring training six weeks ago.“You have this long spring ahead, so the nerves aren’t really there,” he said.Instead, it’s now, with just a few days until the Orioles head to Boston for their opening series of the season, when the nerves start creeping in. Politi, a Rule 5 draft pick, is one of several right-handed relievers competing for a spot in the Orioles’ bullpen.“The closer it gets, the more the nerves come a little bit,” Politi said Friday. “But I think I’ve done what I had to do, and I think I had a good spring from my understanding. It’s kind of funny. The nerves didn’t really hit until later on when you’ve been throwing the ball well and you start to see your chances raise a little bit.”The 26-year-old is hoping to become the latest in a long line of Orioles Rule 5 draftees to make the big league club, including some like Anth...
