Douglas has surgery
Toney Douglas had surgery Wednesday on his right shoulder to repair a torn labrum, the Knicks announced. The second-year guard played through the injury after initially hurting the shoulder in a preseason game in October. Despite the pain, Douglas managed to lead the Knicks this season with 143 three-pointers. He set a franchise record with nine three-pointers in a win over the Memphis Grizzlies on March 17. The recovery period has been set for 12 to 16 weeks.
GOLF
Sabbatini in flap
Rory Sabbatini could face suspension from the PGA Tour for what was described as a profanity-laced argument with Sean O'Hair during last week's Zurich Classic. According to multiple players and officials, it was the second time this year that Sabbatini has run into behavior trouble. The first incident was at Riviera in the Northern Trust Open, where Sabbatini was said to have spoken harshly to a teenage volunteer who was trying to help him find a lost ball. The players and officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the tour keeps all disciplinary matters private. O'Hair also was in Sabbatini's group at Riviera. Two people familiar with the incident said the volunteer wrote a five-page letter to the PGA Tour, but Sabbatini escaped punishment by offering to apologize to anyone he offended.
