Stephen Curry Sprains Knee In Game 4, Will Have MRI On Monday
STEPHEN CURRY
Stephen Curry, who re- turned to action Sunday after missing the past two games because of a sprained right ankle, will undergo an MRI on Monday after spraining his knee midway through Golden State's 121-94 Game 4 win over Houston.
Curry slipped while guarding Houston's Trevor Ariza at the first-half buzzer and banged his right knee on the floor. The reigning league MVP grabbed the knee and limped off to the locker room.
Shortly thereafter, he headed back to the locker room and was ruled out just after the second half began, with Shaun Livingston tak- ing his spot in the starting lineup.

Complex As Boxing Legend Continues
To Enjoy Retirement With Camel Ride
To say Floyd Mayweather's retirement has been untypical would be nothing short of an under- statement.
The former boxer, who hung up his gloves unde- feated last year, has been travelling the world visiting some of the most famous natural and man- made landmarks.
Mayweather's
latest jaunt took him to the Giza pyramid complex in Egypt, where he struck an authori- tative pose atop a camel. Orthopedic slippers and part- nership whist, it is not.
He shared a pic-
ture of himself out-
side one of the remarkable structures via his official Twitter account.
Mayweather has played down the prospect of a return

to the ring, despite several calls to, and in addition to his international jet-setting has turned his focus to working as a boxing promoter.
Byron Scott Dismissed After Lakers-Worst 17-65 Season
The Los Angeles Lakers have fired coach Byron Scott after posting the worst record in franchise history in each of the two seasons since he was hired, sources told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.
Scott had said he expected to be back a week ago, two days after the team closed its 2015- 16 season with a win over the Utah Jazz, which gave the Lak- ers a franchise-worst 17-65 record. Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak had said he and Lakers part-owner and ex-

Reggie Jackson: Refs Should Face Consequences, Just Like Players
since Kobe Bryant ruptured his Achilles in April 2013. All- Star center Dwight Howard left the team the following off- season, then All-Star center Pau Gasol did the same in 2014.
Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson believes there should be a system in place for referees to be fined, be suspended or lose their jobs in the wake of Sunday's frantic finish in a Game 4, season- ending 100-98 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Without implicitly stating it in the postgame news confer- ence, Jackson, who fired what would have been a game- winning 3-pointer, believes he was fouled by Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving on the final shot of the game.
"We got a stop, no timeouts. Kyrie decided to pick up early," Jackson said of the

play. "Thought I cleared some spacing, went to take a good shot, tried to find a good look. I just think refs need to have some type of
system in line ... fines, suspen- sions, being fired. Same thing happens to us.
"Make bad plays or ques- tionable, you're not really being productive to the sport. Things should have conse- quences, just like the players. That's about [all] I've got to say on that."
