Baby Assassin returns...SDSU reaches conference semis...Sale still hopes to avoid Tommy John surgery

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is slated to play tonight against the Toronto Raptors, one day after being medically cleared. The two-time NBA MVP missed 58 games after falling on his left hand Oct. 30 versus Phoenix. Curry has played just four games this season, averaging 20.3 points, 6.5 assists and five rebounds. He rejoins a team that owns the league's worst record at 14-48, one season after advancing to the NBA Finals for the fifth consecutive year.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jordan Schakel scored 14 of his 17 points in the second half as fifth-ranked 5 San Diego State rallied for a 73-60 win over Air Force to advance to the Mountain West Conference tournament semifinals.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale has a flexor strain near his left elbow and will not be scheduled for Tommy John surgery — for now. The 30-year-old left-hander felt discomfort in his pitching elbow Monday, a day after throwing his first batting practice of spring training. With Sale's season in doubt, the Red Sox and right-hander Collin McHugh have worked out a one-year contract that's worth a guaranteed $600,000 and contains bonuses that can push the deal to $4.25 million.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) — The Chicago White Sox have agreed to a five-year, $70 million contract with Yoán Moncada, a deal that includes a $25 million club option for 2025 that would make the agreement worth $90 million for six seasons. The White Sox acquired the 24-year-old Moncada in the December 2016 trade that sent Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox. The third baseman broke out last season by setting career highs with a .315 batting average, 25 homers and 79 RBIs.
