NBA
— Three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic has decided to delay a contract extension with the Denver Nuggets this summer. It doesn’t affect Jokic’s status in Denver in the short term. He has at least two years remaining on his deal. By waiting until next summer to sign, Jokic would be eligible to add four years to his existing deal at even more money than this summer’s extension would have guaranteed.
— Oklahoma City Thunder all-star forward Jalen Williams said he took nearly 30 painkilling injections in his injured right wrist to get through his team’s recent championship run.

The injury led to poor performance and eventually being benched.
— Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott says he’s a “full go” for training camp, declaring himself fully healthy after missing the final nine games last season with a hamstring injury that required surgery.
