In Brief: Utah State fires football coach
LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Utah State says it’s firing football coach Blake Anderson after an external review of allegations that he hadn’t complied with Title IX policies regarding the reporting of sexual misconduct cases.
Defensive coordinator and defensive ends coach Nate Dreiling will be Utah State’s interim coach during the upcoming season.
Utah State also announced Tuesday that associate vice president/deputy athletic director of external affairs Jerry Bovee and football director of player development and community Austin Albrecht were fired “for violations of university policies related to the reporting of sexual and domestic violence and failures of professional responsibilities.”
DJOKOVIC WINS AT WIMBLEDON
LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic wore a gray sleeve on his surgically repaired right knee while winning his first-round match at Wimbledon.
Djokovic never faced a break point along the way to a 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 victory over qualifier Vit Kopriva in under two hours on Tuesday.
It was Djokovic’s first match since tearing the meniscus in his knee at the French Open on June 3.
The 37-year-old Djokovic has won seven of his men’s-record 24 Grand Slam titles at the All England Club and was the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz last year.
Djokovic hurt his knee during a five-set win at Roland Garros, then had surgery in Paris on June 5.
MITCHELL, CAVS SIGN EXTENSION
CLEVELAND (AP) — A person familiar with the decision says All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell has agreed to a three-year, $150.3 million contract extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 27-year-old said on numerous occasions this past season that he’s happy playing with Cleveland, which acquired him in a 2022 trade from Utah. The Cavs have made the playoffs in both seasons with Mitchell.
He agreed to the deal in Los Angeles over the weekend, according to the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the NBA prohibits deals from being announced until its moratorium ends on Saturday.
ESPN was first to report Mitchell’s agreement.
