NBA
Wilt's 100-point ball on auction this month
NEW YORK — The ball that Wilt Chamberlin used to score his game-record 100 points is now up for grabs.
Leland's Auctions, which deals in sports memorabilia, has included the historic basketball in its next auction on April 27.
Chamberlain, then with the Philadelphia Warriors, used the ball to score 100 points against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962, in Hershey, Pa.
When the game ended, a teenage Kerry Ryman ran on the court and made off with the ball. He used it to play in neighborhood games.
There were numerous attempts to return the ball, but since Chamberlain never showed any interest, Ryman held onto it.
When Chamberlain died last fall, Ryman decided to put the ball up for auction.
Injury leaves Spur star in doubt for playoffs
SAN ANTONIO — Tim Duncan could miss the opening game of the NBA playoffs.
The San Antonio Spurs' power forward tore cartilage in his left knee and may undergo surgery if the injury worsens.
"It's just a day to day, game to game, week to week sort of thing," said San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich yesterday. "He's probably questionable for the start of the playoffs."
The Spurs face Phoenix this weekend in the best-of-five first round series.
Duncan sat out San Antonio's regular-season finale yesterday against the Los Angeles Lakers but did take part in the earlier shoot-around after getting medical clearance.

Duncan had limited his physical
He injured the knee when he awkwardly fell while attempting a dunk on April 11 against Sacramento. Yesterday's game was the fourth he missed because of the knee injury.
An exam on Tuesday showed that the tear in the lateral meniscus in his left knee is healing, but arthroscopic surgery still may be in Duncan's future.
NHL
Lindros still recovering from severe concussion
PHILADLPHIA — Eric Lindros still is plagued by lingering headaches and won't return for the second round of the NHL playoffs if the Philadelphia Flyers advance past the Buffalo Sabres.
The Flyers lead the best-of-seven series 3-1.
Lindros is recovering from a Grade II concussion. The American Academy of Neurology recommends that athletes be symptom-free for two weeks before resuming participation. Dr. James Kelly, a neurologist who examined the Flyers center in Toronto last week, said it will take longer than two weeks.
"He is still having persistent headaches and once he's symptom free, he has to get his endurance level up to speed and that's going to take longer," Kelly told the Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday.
Lindros was injured March 4 when he was hit in the jaw by Boston's Hal Gill. He has missed 18 games, including the final 14 of the regular season.
After Lindros took himself out of the lineup, team doctors diagnosed a Grade I concussion. Later, Kelly said Lindros had a more serious concussion, prompting Lindros to criticize trainer John Worley and team doctors for misdiagnosing the severity of his injury.
As a result of the controversy, Lindros was stripped of his captaincy last month in favor of defenseman Eric Desiardins.
