Bucks' Redd confirms he'll be out two weeks

Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Redd expects to miss about two weeks because of a strained tendon in his left knee.

The Bucks had said Monday he would miss at least that much time, and Redd, who was injured on a dunk in Saturday's home opener against Detroit, said Tuesday he should be able to return right around then.

He said the injury is "nothing totally too severe," and there's no connection between this and the season-ending one he suffered Jan. 24, when he tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in the same knee.

Also: The New Jersey Nets said an MRI performed on forward Yi Jianlian confirmed that he has sprained a ligament in his right knee. The Nets said Yi will begin rehabilitation immediately, and there is no timetable for his return.

Los Angeles Clippers owner and real estate mogul Donald Sterling agreed to pay a record $2.725 million to settle allegations by the government that he refused to rent apartments to Hispanics, blacks and to families with children, the Justice Department announced.

The Justice Department sued Sterling in August 2006 for allegations of housing discrimination in the Koreatown area of Los Angeles.

Sportscaster Nantz will pay alimony of $916,000

CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz must pay $916,000 yearly in alimony and child support to his ex-wife and give up their Connecticut home under terms of a newly issued divorce decree.

The ruling, made Monday in Bridgeport Superior Court in Hartford, Conn., dissolves the 26-year marriage of Nantz and Ann-Lorraine "Lorrie" Carlsen Nantz. It comes after both testified about the breakdown of their marriage; Judge Howard Owens concluded neither was at fault.

Although Nantz, 50, acknowledged he started dating a 29-year-old woman before the divorce was final, the judge concluded the marriage deteriorated years earlier and "this remote event in no way contributed to the breakdown of the marriage."

Also: The PGA Tour is moving the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open to the same July weekend that a nationally televised celebrity golf tournament has been played at Lake Tahoe for 20 years, much to the chagrin of tourism officials at the nearby mountain lake.

The PGA event with a $3 million purse historically has been played in August at Montreux Golf & Country Club, on the edge of Mount Rose between Reno and Lake Tahoe.

The new dates of July 15 to 18 put it opposite the Celebrity Golf Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course at Stateline, as well as the British Open being played next summer at St. Andrews.

The Professional Bull Riders organization announced that its 2010 World Finals will be held over five consecutive days, instead of being spread over seven days and two weekends, as it has the past five years.

Next year's event will be Oct. 20 to 24 at the Thomas & Mack Center, where this year's Finals resume Thursday and conclude Sunday.

UNLV's Kier Maitland was named Mountain West Conference men's Swimmer of the Week. Maitland won the 500- and 1,000-yard freestyle events in meets at Brigham Young and Utah, helping UNLV start the season 2-0.

UNLV goalkeeper Alicia Lugo and midfielder Brianna Moore were named to the All-MWC second team in women's soccer.

Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said he hopes Alex Ovechkin won't be sidelined more than two weeks with an upper-body strain. The NHL's two-time Most Valuable Player was more optimistic, saying maybe he'll play this weekend.
