OKLAHOMA CITY -- There has been a national debate taking place this past week over star players sitting out games due to rest. From Cleveland to Atlanta, head coaches have decided to sit their best players in order to save them for the entire season.Indiana coach Nate McMillan wishes he had that problem. He has been forced to scratch forward Paul George from Fridays lineup due to a sore left ankle. The Pacers wound up falling 116-96 to the Phoenix Suns.He really hasnt done anything in the last two days, McMillan told the Indy Star. The ankle was sore when he was playing and the last two days it really hasnt gotten any better. We just want to make sure everything is OK there, for his sake and ours. Hopefully there isnt anything and he just needs some time.The Pacers didnt announce whether George will be suited up for Sunday nights game in Oklahoma City. He was scheduled to have an MRI Saturday.But there is no doubt, they play much differently when their All-Star forward is on the floor or not.George leads Indiana in scoring (21.0), rebounds (7.1) and steals (1.7). If he cant go, thats a lot of slack the rest of the Pacers have to pick up.Indiana is hoping the return of Rodney Stuckey will make up for some of the loss of George. Stuckey played Friday after straining his right hamstring Oct. 28.He said he felt pretty good and was ready to go, McMillan told the Star. You want to slowly work him back into conditioning and rhythm and not give him a ton of minutes right off the bat.The Thunder also sustained an injury during its win over Brooklyn Friday. Backup point guard Semaj Christon suffered a concussion and is currently in the NBAs concussion protocol. He also has a non-displaced left facial fracture.According to Thunder officials, once Christon passes the protocol, he will be able to return to the lineup wearing a facemask.That leaves the Thunder with only Russell Westbrook as the only point guard on the roster. Cameron Payne is still healing from foot surgery in the preseason.According to Thunder coach Billy Donovan, Victor Oladipo will see time running the point with the second unit.Victor I feel very comfortable with just because hes played some point in Orlando and hes done it a little bit here, Donovan said. Im fine with that. I think we can create and generate enough ball handling when Russell is off the floor to at least get into our offense. That will be the biggest thing.Its the Thunders reserves that have been a big reason the team has won two straight after a four-game losing streak. On Friday, they accounted for 39 points and 15 rebounds.I thought they did a really good job, Donovan said. I mentioned after a couple games ago that I felt like we as a staff, myself in particular, try to help those guys. I thought they were on the same page. I thought they moved the basketball. I thought they made the game easier for each other. They generated good shots. They helped each other. They defended. It was good to see them play the way they did and it was good to see them extend onto the lead. Alex Bregman Astros Jersey .

The team also has yet to decide on the future of Doug Berry, who began the season as a consultant to the head coach but took over the offensive co-ordinators duties in July. Jose Altuve Astros Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

ROME -- Romas planned new stadium would deliver nearly 20 billion euros ($21.7 billion) in additional revenues to the Italian capital over the next decade, according to a university study on the severely delayed project.The privately financed 1.6 billion euro ($1.7 billion) project would also increase Romes gross domestic product by 18.5 billion euros ($20 billion) by 2026, according to research by Romes Sapienza University.This is one of the most ambitious urban regeneration works that Rome and Italy has ever seen, Giuseppe Ciccarone, Sapienzas dean of economics, said Monday.However, the start of construction has been delayed for years with approval for the Serie A stadium, training center and surrounding business and entertainment park slowed at municipal and regional levels.James Pallotta, Romas American president, first presented the stadium plan in March 2014, saying then that it would be ready for the 2016-17 season.The stadium site in Tor di Valle is about halfway between downtown and the Leonardo Da Vinci airport..dddddddddddd.With a design inspired by the Colosseum, the stadium is slated to seat 52,500 and be expandable to 60,000 for major matches.Roma currently shares the 72,000-seat Stadio Olimpico with city rival Lazio.The 125-hectare (300-acre) area for the new stadium will also include a training ground for Roma, three high-rise office towers, plus parks and commercial and entertainment areas.The study also said that the stadium project would reduce the average unemployment rate in Rome by nearly one full percentage point, with about 1,500 workers employed during the construction phase and a further 4,000 as parts of the project become operational.Once fully operational, up to 20,000 people will be employed across the stadium and business park.The new stadium had been included in Romes bid for the 2024 Olympics but the candidacy was rejected in September by Mayor Virginia Raggi over cost concerns.
