By Matt Dollinger · Wednesday, July 5,2006 7:57 p.m.

They might not have been drafted, but Marco Killingsworth's and Marshall Strickland's NBA dreams are still alive. After not being selected in the NBA Draft June 28, both of the former Hoosiers have signed with NBA teams to play for their summer league squads. After working out twice for them in the weeks preceding the draft, Strickland signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. Strickland and the 76ers will travel to Utah to play in the Rocky Mountain Revue from July 14-21. "I knew they liked me and they showed a lot of interest," Strickland said.

Harrington, Wells open to possible return to Indiana

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, July 5,2006 7:34 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Peja Stojakovic's departure could provide an opening for Al Harrington to return to the Indiana Pacers. Harrington, who played the first six years of his NBA career with Indiana, is an unrestricted free agent who played the past two seasons with the Atlanta Hawks. "I know there has been some interest there in Indiana," Harrington said of a possible return to the Pacers. "I've always considered Indiana home. To come back, it would be like I never left." The Pacers also reportedly are interested in Sacramento's Bonzi Wells, an Indiana native who played at Muncie Central High School and at Ball State.

A leaving legend

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, July 5,2006 7:32 p.m.

DETROIT -- Steve Yzerman has laced up his skates for the Red Wings for the last time. That doesn't mean Hockeytown has to say goodbye to the longtime Detroit captain. Yzerman, who led the Red Wings to three Stanley Cup titles and spent his entire 23-year NHL career in Detroit, retired from playing Monday, but said he plans to stay in the organization while devoting more time to his family. "I look forward to a future in the game of hockey with the Red Wings in some aspect," Yzerman said as he announced his retirement at Joe Louis Arena, his home away from home for years.

Fever's Whitmore putting up All-Star numbers

By Alyson Brodsy and Cliff Brunt · Wednesday, July 5,2006 7:27 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tamika Whitmore's favorite player is Dennis Rodman, so it makes sense that she has taken great pride in being a superstar's sidekick for the Indiana Fever. While Michael Jordan got the glory for the Chicago Bulls, Rodman grabbed rebounds and played lockdown defense while winning NBA titles. And while Tamika Catchings has become an MVP candidate for the Fever, Whitmore has pushed her way into All-Star contention by embracing her role as the ultimate team player. She has averaged a team-best 16.2 points to help the Fever start the WNBA season at 12-6. Indiana coach Brian Winters said Whitmore has proven that she deserves to make the first All-Star appearance of her eight-year career, but the final selections won't be made until later this week.

FIFA won't relax card rules

By Alyson Brodsy and Robert Millward · Wednesday, June 28,2006 10:23 p.m.

FRANKFURT, Germany -- Whoever wins the World Cup, one definite loser will be soccer's battered image of fair play. A record number of red cards, including four in one game and three in the first 46 minutes of another, suggests there is something fundamentally wrong with the world's most popular sport, although FIFA president Sepp Blatter has ripped the referees for mistakes and inconsistencies.

Indiana's Carroll a hot-bat hit with the Rockies

By Alyson Brodsy and Pat Graham · Wednesday, June 28,2006 10:21 p.m.

DENVER -- Colorado second baseman Jamey Carroll has always wanted to do everything a little better than everyone else. At Castle High School in southern Indiana, after breaking two bones in his right arm, he took ground balls one-handed and hit off a tee. And when he fretted about his height, he's listed generously at 5-foot-9 by the Rockies, his mom had a saying. "She used to tell him, 'You're short so you're closer to the ground to field ground balls better,'" recalled his father, Larry Carroll.
