WOODS OUT OF THE GENESIS INVITE

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tiger Woods has withdrawn from the Genesis Invitational. He says he planned to play and tried to get ready but is still processing the death of his mother. Kultida Woods died unexpectedly last Tuesday at the age of 80.

Woods says he hopes to be at Torrey Pines later in the week. He is the tournament host of this $20 million signature event that benefits his foundation. The tournament is held annually at Riviera. But it had to relocated to Torrey Pines because of the deadly LA wildfires. Woods has won eight times as a pro at Torrey Pines, including the U.S. Open.

LUKA DONCIC DONATES $500k

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Luka Doncic began the possible day of his debut with the Los Angeles Lakers by donating $500,000 to fire recovery efforts in his new community. The Slovenian star was upgraded to probable several hours before the Lakers’ home game against Utah on Monday night.

Coach JJ Redick has said he hopes Doncic will debut at home against the Jazz for the Lakers, who acquired him just over a week ago from the Dallas Mavericks. Doncic hasn’t played in a game since Christmas because of a strained left calf, but he participated in practice with his new team last week.

TIMBERWOLVES SALE BACK ON

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The ownership transfer of the Minnesota Timberwolves must continue as originally planned. An arbitration panel has ruled that controlling owner Glen Taylor must cede control of the NBA club to partners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez in the disputed final phase of the sale.

The $1.5 billion transaction was uniquely arranged three years ago to give Lore and Rodriguez the majority stake. Lore and Rodriguez, the former baseball star, announced that their timeline for obtaining league approval of the acquisition has not expired. Taylor bought the team for $88 million to keep it from moving to New Orleans in 1994.

Starting at $2.99/week.
