The NBA on Friday announced the cancellation of all regular season games through November 30 after players and owners were unable to agree to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement.

The 2011 Detroit Tigers won 95 regular season games , and five more in the post season.

Red Wings defenceman Brendan Smith was suspended for the remainder of the pre-season and five regular-season games on Friday after delivering a check to the head of Chicago's Ben Smith.

The Spurs and Magic combined to win 113 regular-season games, but there is a big reason they're in series holes.

Don't forget these critical truths of playoff basketball, says Zach Lowe.

Pau Gasol scored 19 points, Andrew Bynum added 13 and the Los Angeles Lakers used their twin 7-footers to dominate inside against the Oklahoma City Thunder, winning 87-79 Sunday in the opener of their playoff series.

Kobe Bryant added 21 points on 6 of 19 shooting after missing four of the final five regular season games to rest his swollen right knee and broken right index finger.

Newly acquired Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes was suspended Monday without pay by the NFL for the first four regular-season games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

The league announced the suspension a day after the Jets acquired the talented but troubled Holmes from the Pittsburgh Steelers for a fifth-round pick in this month's draft.

According to the Sporting News and New York's Daily News, Major League Baseball is in serious negotiations with a promoter in Puerto Rico about the possibility of playing some regular season games there as early as the 2010 season.

The Minnesota Twins seem to think that 162 regular-season games aren't enough. The Twins will host the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday in a tiebreaker for the American League Central title and a trip the playoffs.

It is the second straight season that the Twins have needed a 163rd game to finish the season, a first in league history.

After missing two seasons and serving an 18-month prison term, sitting out two regular-season games can't be too difficult for Michael Vick.

Vick got the green light for full reinstatement by Roger Goodell on Thursday, when the NFL commissioner said the disgraced quarterback could play later this month instead of waiting until October.

The Detroit Lionshave a big decision on their hands. Should they start veteran QB Daunte Culpepper, or should they start overall number one draft pick Matthew Stafford?

While this question is likely to play out of the first couple of regular season games, the play of both of these men has not helped the Lions coaching staff make this important decision.
