The men’s
and women’s track and field teams are in Bloomington, Ind.
this weekend, participating in the Conference USA Indoor Championships.
The men’s
team, currently ranked No. 14 in the nation, appears to be the favorite

Mavs
get Van Exel, LaFrentz before trading deadline
Denver (AP)
— The Dallas Mavericks acquired Nick Van Exel, Raef LaFrentz,
Avery Johnson and Tarik Abdul-Wahid from the Denver Nuggets for
Juwan Howard, Tim Hardaway, Donnell Harvey, Dallas’ 2002 first-round
pick and $1 million.
All three of
the Mavs players had their lockers cleaned out and their nameplates
removed from above their stalls prior to Dallas’ Thursday night
game against Boston.
Calls to Denver Nuggets officials were not immediately returned.
“He’s
ecstatic,” said Tony Dutt, Van Exel’s agent. “Avery
Johnson is being moved as well. He and Avery are very close.”
“I think
it couldn’t have worked out any better,” Dutt said.
Van Exel, the
Nuggets’ leading scorer, went public with his demand to be
traded Dec. 8.
Dutt said Van Exel agreed to some deferrals in his current contract.
He declined to provide details.
Nuggets general
manager Kiki Vandeweghe said Wednesday the team was working around
the clock to trade Van Exel.
Van Exel, in
his ninth NBA season, is scheduled to earn $26.5 million in the
remaining two years of his contract through 2005-06.
Van Exel, 30,
was averaging 21.4 points and 3.8 rebounds this season. He has missed
the past five games because of an inflamed elbow.
Lafrentz, 25,
the Nuggets’ No. 2 scorer, averaged 14.9 points and 7.4 rebounds.
Johnson, 36, averaged 9.4 points and 1.3 rebounds.
Nevada
won’t charge Tyson on sexual assault charges
LAS VEGAS (AP)
— Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will not be charged
with sexual assault in two separate cases in Las Vegas, prosecutors
said Thursday.
“It was
simply unclear whether the sexual interaction between each of the
two alleged victims and Mr. Tyson was consensual or forced,”
Clark County prosecutors wrote in a Thursday letter to Las Vegas
police.
Prosecutors
said there was no question sexual relations occurred between the
women and Tyson but said there was “no possibility whatsoever”
to successfully prosecute Tyson in either case.
Ten prosecutors
reviewed the evidence. They said the police investigation was so
thorough that there was nothing more police could have done, or
do in the future, that would warrant charges.
Police sought
arrest warrants from prosecutors for Tyson on multiple counts of
sexual assault in each case.
In the first
case, police began investigating Iron Mike in mid-September, after
a Las Vegas woman went to a hospital with injuries that she said
were suffered when the boxer raped her at his home.
Last month,
the Nevada Athletic Commission voted to refuse Tyson a license to
challenge heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis on April 6 at the MGM
Grand hotel-casino.
