Two womens college basketball tournaments in Puerto Rico have been moved because of concerns about the Zika outbreak.The San Juan Shootout held during Thanksgiving weekend will be played in Daytona, Florida. The Puerto Rico Classic will move to Las Vegas on Dec. 19-21.This is not an easy decision for us in light of our decades of relationships with our Puerto Rican partners, Sport Tours president Lee Frederick, whose company runs the events, said in a statement. However, we understand it is what the universities want at this time. The strength of our relationships in Daytona Beach and Las Vegas has allowed us to make the changes smoothly. We look forward to returning to San Juan in 2017 and beyond.The San Juan Shootout participants are Penn State, Georgetown, American, Clemson, Georgia State, Loyola Chicago, Troy, VCU, Villanova and Wright State. The Las Vegas field includes Cal, Oklahoma, Xavier, Arkansas State, Kennesaw State, Northern Kentucky, Portland State and Southern Mississippi.Multi-team events on islands are good competitions and good experiences for our team, but any risk above and beyond the risk of playing basketball isnt responsible of us, Cal coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. While everyone wants to be in Puerto Rico, the main thing is the health and safety of our student athletes.Gottlieb commended Sports Tours for moving the tournament to Las Vegas on short notice. Cal played in Las Vegas last year during Thanksgiving.Our kids are resilient, Gottlieb said. We had conversations with parents as we didnt want them to lose money. Our players like Vegas. Well go to a show and have as fun an experience as possible. We get three games close to home where friends and family can come.Cal will face Oklahoma in Las Vegas. The Oklahoma mens team was supposed to be in Puerto Rico also at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament, which is run by ESPN. That was moved last month to Disney World in Orlando.The safety of our student-athletes, staff and fans are a top priority, Oklahoma womens basketball coach Sherri Coale said. While were disappointed in not being able to travel to Puerto Rico, we believe Las Vegas will be a great host for this tournament.A three-team Division III womens basketball tournament from Dec. 28-30 is still on in Puerto Rico.Frederick wrote in an email to The Associated Press that the Division III schools are braver and not controlled by ESPN.The mosquito-spread virus can cause severe brain-related birth defects, including smaller heads. As of last month, there have been more than 20,000 cases reported in Puerto Rico.Im well read up on Zika now, Gottlieb said. This is not Rio. Its not the Olympics, where you cant move a whole Olympics. I think its in the best interest of everyone.In May, the Marlins shifted their baseball games from the island to Miami because of concerns about Zika. Rickey Henderson Jersey . The third-ranked Ivanovic, who won the event in 2008 and 10, served five aces and broke Wickmayer, also a former winner in 2009, five times. "The result looked easier than it really was," Ivanovic said. Austin Hedges Jersey . Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. http://www.cheappadresjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-carlos-asuaje-jersey . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. Dave Winfield Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. Trevor Hoffman Jersey . The Hall of Fame defenceman told Landsberg that he believes fighting still has a place in todays game, but thinks staged fighting needs be outlawed. OAKLAND, Calif. -- Kevin Durant matched his career high with seven 3-pointers and scored 39 points, coolly knocking down long jumpers while thoroughly embarrassing Russell Westbrook and his old Oklahoma City team in Golden States 122-96 rout of the Thunder on Thursday night.This rematch of the Western Conference Finals won by the Warriors in seven games quickly turned into the KD show at sold-out Oracle Arena, where OKC (4-1) took its first loss to leave LeBron James and the champion Cavaliers as the leagues lone unbeaten team.So much for this one being just like any other game for Durant. Even he knew it would certainly mean more once the ball was tipped, a matchup circled on calendars everywhere from the moment he joined the Warriors in July.Westbrook was held to 20 points -- yes, thats right -- after coming in as the NBAs leading scorer averaging 37.8 points.Stephen Curry added 21 points and seven assists while Klay Thompson emerged from his 3-point funk to make four from long range on the way to 18 points in the Warriors fourth straight win.CAVALIERS 128, CELTICS 122CLEVELAND -- LeBron James scored a season-high 30 points and the reigning NBA champion Cavaliers stayed undefeated, beating the Celtics.James moved within two points of passing Hakeem Olajuwon for 10th place on the NBAs all-time scoring list. Olajuwon had 26,946 points, a total James will likely surpass Saturday night in Philadelphia.The Cavaliers are 5-0 for the first time since 1976-77 when they started 8-0.Kevin Love scored 26 points, also a season high, while Kyrie Irving added 23 for the Cavaliers. Tristan Thompson recorded a double-double in the first half, finishing with 15 points and 14 rebounds.Isaiah Thomas scored 30 points and Avery Bradley had 26 for the Celtics, who played without two starters, center Al Horford (concussion) and forward Jae Crowder (sprained left ankle).BUCKS 125, PACERS 106MILWAUKEE -- Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker each had 27 points to lead the Bucks past the Pacers.PPaul George scored 23 points, reserve C.ddddddddddddJ. Miles added 19, Jeff Teague had 16 and Myles Turner 15, but it wasnt enough as the Pacers slipped to 0-3 on the road.When Parker hit from in close and then from beyond the arc to open the fourth quarter, it looked like the Bucks would coast to their third win of the season.Indiana had other ideas and closed with a flurry led by George who hit a 3-pointer with 9:28 to go, cutting the deficit to 95-82. When Turner made two free throws and Thaddeus Young hit a basket, the Bucks lead was nine.MAGIC 102, KINGS 94ORLANDO, Fla. -- Evan Fournier scored 29 points and Serge Ibaka added 17 to lead the Magic to a victory over the Kings.In one of their better offensive games this season, the Magic had five players score in double figures with Aaron Gordon contributing a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds, while reserve Jeff Green scored 15 points. The Magic (2-3) won back-to-back games for the first time this season as they returned home from a three-game trip.DeMarcus Cousins led all scorers with 33 points, while Rudy Gay added 16 for the Kings (2-4), who have lost three straight on their current five-game road swing.NUGGETS 102, TIMBERWOLVES 99MINNEAPOLIS -- Danilo Gallinari scored 19 points and Jusuf Nurkic added 18 to help the Nuggets outlast the Timberwolves.Wilson Chandler added 19 points to lead an impressive performance by Denvers second unit to erase a 15-point second-quarter deficit. The Nuggets outscored Minnesota 45-23 off the bench and shot 48 percent for their second win of the season.Karl-Anthony Towns had 32 points and 14 rebounds and Andrew Wiggins scored 25 for the Timberwolves, who gave away a lead of at least 15 points for the third time in four games this season. Nemanja Bjelica scored 10 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter, but his 3-pointer at the buzzer went in and out. ' ' '
