Mike Krzyzewski Might Coach Team USA Again After All

Streeter Lecka/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- After declaring that he was walking away from being the head coach of the United States Olympic men's basketball team, Coach K is in discussions to return to the team, according to SI.com.

After the 2012 Olympics in London, Krzyzewski said that he had no plans on returning to the team, and was ready to walk away from international competition. But lately, he's been in deep talks with USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo.

"I think it's very close to being resolved," Colangelo said in the SI.com report. "That's all I can say for sure. Give it another week and it should be resolved."

Since the Americans don't play again till 2014, Colangelo was never in a rush to name Krzyzewski's replacement. SI.com is reporting that Colangelo had yet to even approach any candidates yet.

Krzyzewski was hired back in 2005 after a disappointing finishes in the 2004 Olympics and the 2002 world basketball championship.

Under Krzyzewski, the United States has won two straight gold medals in men's basketball.

Braves' Reliever Eric O'Flaherty Facing Elbow Surgery

Doug Pensinger/Getty Images(ATLANTA) -- As if the Atlanta Braves didn't have enough injured relievers on the DL, they'll have to make room for another as Eric O'Flaherty has been shutdown with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow.

With O'Flaherty likely facing season ending surgery, the Braves bullpen is suddenly in shambles. Lefty Johnny Venters recently underwent his second Tommy John Surgery of his career, and righty Jordan Walden is currently on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.

"It's hard to lose two guys like we've lost," Braves general manager Frank Wren said. "And we'll wait and see exactly how long Eric is going to be out, but it's not going to be a week or two, we know that."

But the team has no choice but try and patch together their bullpen.

"We have to. We don't have a choice," Wren added. "We've seen teams lose their closer and lose their set-up guys in the past and be able to regroup and make it work and we're going to have to do that."

O'Flaherty was 3-0 with a 2.50 ERA in 19 appearances this season, and was second in the National League with 12 holds.

Cardinals Place Pitcher Jaime Garcia On the DL

Bob Levey/Getty Images(ST. LOUIS) -- The St. Louis Cardinals pitching depth will be tested even further as the team has announced they've placed starting pitcher Jaime Garcia on the disabled list.

Garcia will be shut down because of a left shoulder strain. The team had hoped he could pitch through the injury without having to miss anytime, but it was took much for Garcia to take.

Garcia also dealt with shoulder issues last season, and those issues seem like they could be returning. He will visit Dr. James Andrews for his opinion, but he feels like his shoulder issues now could be worse than last year's.

"I would say at this point it's worse," Garcia said via MLB.com's Jennifer Langosch. "There's a lot more pain than last year. It started three starts ago. I was feeling great until that point. I basically tried to take care of doing little things here and there and it went downhill getting worse and worse."

When asked about the possibility of facing surgery, Garcia sounded worried.

"I'm very concerned, especially with the way I felt last night and the way I feel today," he added.

Along with Garcia, the Cardinals also have starters Chris Carpenter and Jake Westbrook on the DL.

Pacers Bounce Knicks, Advance To East Finals

Andy Lyons/Getty Images(INDIANAPOLIS) --  Lance Stephenson scored 25 points and grabbed 10 boards to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 106-99 win over the New York Knicks Saturday.

The win sends the Pacers to their first Eastern Conference final since 2004.

"I just didn't want to go back to New York and play Game 7," Stephenson said. "Just get it done with now and I'd do whatever it takes to do that today. It showed tonight."

George Hill returned to the Pacers' lineup just two days after being diagnosed with a concussion.  He scored 12 points in 42 minutes.

Carmelo Anthony led the Knicks with 39 points.  Iman Shumpert chipped in 19 in a losing effort.

Indiana trailed 92-90 with just under six minutes to go before Roy Hibbert blocked an Anthony dunk attempt at the rim.  That spurred a 13-5 Pacers run that helped them close out the game. 

"That's why they pay me the big bucks this summer, so I have to protect the paint," said Hibbert, who signed a $58 million contract last summer. "If all else fails, meaning the offense, I have to protect the paint."

The Pacers will face the Miami Heat, the team that eliminated them from last year's postseason, in the Eastern Conference finals.  Game 1 is Wednesday night in Miami.

David Beckham Notches Assist In Final Career Game

Fred Dufour/AFP/Getty Images(PARIS) --  Just like that, it all came to an end for David Beckham.

In his final career game, Beckham notched an assist, leading Paris Saint-Germain to a 3-1 win over Brest.

"To finish my career here is special. Paris is the most beautiful place in the world. I'm sad to go. I feel a lot of satisfaction and emotion. Tonight is the end of my career, for sure," he said. "I've done my time at all the clubs where I've been, be it Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy.

Beckham drew a roaring ovation and wiped away tears when he left in the 81st minute as the match drew to a close.  Paris Saint-Germain has one more game left this season, but Beckham told reporters after the game that Saturday's would be his last.

He announced his retirement earlier in the week and was given the captain's armband prior to the start of the match.

Oxbow Wins The 138th Preakness Stakes

Matthew Stockman/Getty Images(BALTIMORE) -- Oxbow won the 138th running of the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore on Saturday evening.

"I get paid to spoil dreams," said D. Wayne Lukas, the 77-year-old Hall of Fame trainer for Oxbow, who gave Lukas his sixth Preakness victory and a record 14th Triple Crown win.

Oxbow's odds to win the race were 15-1, and he paid $32.80 to win.

Ridden by veteran jockey Gary Stevens, Oxbow finished unofficially in 1:57.54.

Itsmyluckyday came in second with Mylute placing third.

Kentucky Derby winner Orb was the perennial favorite to win the middle leg of the Triple Crown with 3-5 odds, but he seemed to have been thrown off from starting at the No. 1 post position.  Only two horses have ever won the Preakness Stakes from that spot since 1950.

"I'm disappointed. I'll be more disappointed tomorrow than I am right now," said Orb's trainer, Shug McGaughey. "I know the game. It is highs and lows. Probably more lows than highs."

Brett Anderson Hurt Again

Robert Binder/MLB Photos via Getty Images(OAKLAND, Calif.) -- The Oakland Athletics announced starting pitcher Brett Anderson has a stress fracture in his right foot and will be reavaluted in four weeks when his walking boot is taken off.

Anderson, who has been on the disabled list since May 1 with a sprained right ankle, made a rehab start last Sunday and felt fine afterwards. Then on Monday, Anderson was running the outfield when he felt pain in his foot. Anderson had CT and bone scans which revealed the injury.

"Unfortunate turn of events," Anderson tweeted. "But we're a good team with or without me and hopefully I can contribute sooner rather than later."

Anderson has proven to be a pretty fragile player. The 25-year-old has only made 43 starts in the last four seasons, being placed on the diabled list many times. Anderson also had Tommy John Surgery in 2011.

When Anderson has pitched he has been good. In 73 career starts Anderson has a 26-29 record with 3.74 ERA, and a 1.27 WHIP.

Red Wings Trounce Blackhawks 4-1 To Even Series

Bill Smith/NHLI via Getty Images(CHICAGO) --   Brendan Smith scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period as the Detroit Red Wings blitzed the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 in Game 2 to tie their Western Conference semifinal series.

Detroit was on the right side of the scoreboard Saturday, responding from a 4-1 loss to the Blackhawks in Game 1 of the series.

"We've got a real good club now," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "And we haven't been good all year. We've just gotten better."

The Blackhawks took a 1-0 lead in the first period on a goal by Patrick Kane, but Damien Brunner and Smith scored in the second period to give the Red Wings the lead for good.

"Both teams would be stupid if they thought they were going to come in here and either team win four straight," Chicago defenseman Brent Seabrook said. 

Johan Franzen and Valtteri Filppula added goals in the third period for the Red Wings, while netminder Jimmy Howard stopped 19 shots.

Game 3 will be played Monday night in Detroit.
