Michigan  State 80, (17) Indiana 65 – Michigan State tops Indiana in 1st home game since  shootings

  Tyson  Walker shook off a slow start to score 23 points and lifted Michigan State to  an 80-65 win over No. 17 Indiana on Tuesday night in its first home game since  last week’s shootings on campus that killed three students and hospitalized  five others. The Spartans surged into the lead late in the first half after  Walker started making 3-pointers following an 0-for-4 start from the field and  were ahead by double digits for much of the second half. The Hoosiers relied  heavily on Trayce Jackson-Davis, who had 19 points, seven rebounds and five  assists.  The victims, survivors and  first responders from last week’s shootings were recognized with pregame  remarks. There was also a moment of silence that was broken by the Michigan  State band playing “MSU Shadows,” when Izzo looked left, right, high and low at  fans in the stands.  In the front row of  the student section, white shirts were placed on eight seats to save them for the  eight students shot on campus. The funeral for the last of the three students  killed was earlier Tuesday.

NBA – Bulls sign Beverley after ruling injured Ball  out for season

  The Chicago Bulls have signed veteran point guard  Patrick Beverley and ruled point guard Lonzo Ball out for the season because of  lingering discomfort in his surgically repaired left knee. The Bulls brought in  Beverley to help solidify a position that has been a sore spot all season with  Ball recovering from his second left knee surgery in less than a year and his  third since entering the NBA in 2017 with the Los Angeles Lakers. The team says  Ball’s focus now will be on resolving the discomfort he feels performing “high  level basketball-related activities” and making “a full return” for next  season. Beverley, a Chicago product, is a three-time All-NBA Defensive Team  selection.

WNBA – Brittney Griner re-signs with Phoenix Mercury

  Brittney Griner will be back in the WNBA this season,  once again playing with the Phoenix Mercury.   Griner, who was a free agent, re-signed with the team Tuesday. The  32-year-old Griner had said she would return to Phoenix in a social media post  in December, after she returned home from her 10-month detainment in Russia.  Griner had been arrested at an airport just outside of Moscow on drug  possession charges a year ago and was brought home in a dramatic high-level  prisoner exchange in December.  The  6-foot-9 center last played for the Mercury in 2021 and helped the team reach  the WNBA Finals. She averaged 20.5 points and 9.5 rebounds that season.  Griner, who was drafted No. 1 in 2013 by the  Mercury, was listed Saturday on Phoenix’s roster on the WNBA website. Since  returning home from Russia, Griner has been out of the public spotlight, with  the exception of appearances at the Super Bowl, the Phoenix Open and an MLK Day  event in Phoenix, where she lives.

Golf – LIV – Column: LIV resumes after break that was  anything but loud

  The PGA Tour is coming off two big weeks with Scottie  Scheffler winning in raucous Phoenix and Jon Rahm at Riviera. Tiger Woods  caused the biggest buzz of all. Now it’s LIV Golf’s turn. The Saudi-funded  league begins its second season and will be compared with two loud weeks on the  PGA Tour, with two more to follow. AP Golf Writer Doug Ferguson says this  wasn’t a great offseason for LIV. It signed six players, none prominent. It  also had four executives leave. The LIV season starts Friday in the Mexican  resort of Mayakoba. One upside is a new television partner in The CW Network.
