Natl. Sports Headlines for Wednesday, Nov. 23rd:


LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) -It's Duke vs. Kansas tonight for the Maui

Invitational title. Austin Rivers had 20 points, Seth Curry and

Ryan Kelly had 17 each in sixth-ranked Duke's 82-75 win over No. 15

Michigan and next plays 14th-ranked Kansas, which eliminated UCLA

72-56 in last night's semifinal.

 


HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Former Penn State assistant football

coach Jerry Sandusky's status as a free man could change if more

accusers surface and police file new charges, as his lawyer fears.

Sandusky is now awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused eight

boys over 15 years but if new charges arise, criminal defense

lawyers say Sandusky could then find himself with a high bail he

might not be able to pay.

 


HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -A judge says those involved in the case of

former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky can't disclose the

name of an individual described by his lawyers as a victim of and

witness to child sexual abuse. Judge Kathy Morrow signed an order

Tuesday at the request of two State College attorneys that

instructs court officials and the parties to refer to him as "John

Doe."

 


CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler will have

surgery today to repair the fractured thumb on his right throwing

hand and the team is hoping he will be able to return before the

end of the regular season. Bears GM Jerry Angelo says team doctors

believe Cutler has a chance of getting back on the field before

Chicago ends its regular season at Minnesota on New Year's Day.

 


NEW YORK (AP) - Union executive director Billy Hunter says he

expects that a Minnesota magistrate judge would mediate the

players' lawsuit against the NBA, as the court did in the NFL's

labor dispute. Hunter specifically mentioned U.S. Magistrate Judge

Arthur Boylan, the court-appointed mediator in the NFL talks,

although Boylan is not the magistrate assigned to the NBA antitrust

suit.
