NEW YORK (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets had all the shooting and scoring any team could ever want. They just didn’t have the health that every team needs. Kevin Durant was spectacular in his first postseason in Brooklyn, but by the end of it a Big Three was down to 1 1/2. Kyrie Irving was on the bench and James Harden probably should have been. That’s the way it often went for Brooklyn after putting together its three superstars....

MUNICH (AP) — No one told Germany winger Robin Gosens the etiquette for receiving a “star of the match” trophy at the European Championship. “Should I take that thing with me or what?” he asked after being singled out for his performance in the 4-2 victory over defending champion Portugal on Saturday. Gosens was still trying to come to terms with what happened after helping Germany turn its chances around at Euro 2020. “It’s gigantic, you can’t put it...

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Netherlands coach Frank de Boer has a difficult decision to make for his team’s final Group C match at the European Championship. “Do we want to keep the players in the rhythm and further refine the system, or should we rest some of the boys?” De Boer said. He hasn’t provided an answer yet. The Dutch are already guaranteed of first place in the group after two wins and North Macedonia has already been eliminated after...

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest’s polarizing presence has hung over Memphis since he moved here in 1852 — his legacy cemented by a giant statue that loomed over all who passed his gravesite in a popular park. Defenders considered him a hero for his Civil War exploits. Detractors called him a violent racist and noted his early leadership role in the Ku Klux Klan. Now the former slave trader’s remains are set to be moved...

SEVILLE, Spain (AP) — Spain and Poland will have a common challenge when they meet Saturday at the European Championship. Goals.

Poland lost to Slovakia 2-1 as Robert Lewandowski was held scoreless in yet another lackluster performance at a major soccer tournament. The focus on Spain at La Cartuja Stadium will be on Álvaro Morata, the striker...

SAO PAULO (AP) — Neymar might not win three World Cups in his career like Pelé did, but he is closing in as top goal scorer ever for Brazil’s national team. He reduced the gap to nine after his Brazil’s 4-0 win over Peru on Thursday in the Copa America. Figures by FIFA, soccer’s international governing body FIFA, put Pelé in No. 1 spot for Brazil with 77 goals. Neymar has 68 after he netted the Seleção’s second against...
