Celtics‘ Rondo misses seventh straight game
CLEVELAND — Boston Celtics All-Star guard Rajon Rondo sat out his seventh straight game with an injured right wrist.
Rondo did not play Tuesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he could return to the lineup later this week.
The Celtics have gone 4-2 without Rondo, who hasn’t played since Jan. 18, when he fell and sprained his wrist. Center Jermaine O'Neal played against Cleveland. He had been out for a week with a bruised left knee.
c New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said he doesn’t think Baron Davis will play until next week. Davis has been working to get into shape after missing the entire season with a herniated disk in his back.
Court filing says Fine’s wife slept with players
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — An affidavit filed in a slander suit against Syracuse University and basketball coach Jim Boeheim says the wife of fired assistant Bernie Fine had sex with players, and several people associated with the program knew about it, including Fine.
In the affidavit, Bobby Davis, a former ball boy with the men’s team, says he was present on several occasions with basketball players when he heard them speaking of having sex with Laurie Fine. Davis said players joked about it and it seemed to be an openly known fact that Laurie Fine had sex with basketball players. A lawyer for Laurie Fine said the accusations were “disgusting.”
