NEW YORK (AP) — Ben Simmons is expected to miss at least two more weeks as the Brooklyn Nets guard works his way back from his latest back injury.The Nets said Saturday that Simmons received an epidural injection as part of the planned rehabilitation from a pinched nerve in his lower back that he sustained Nov. 6. The Nets added that Simmons is improving and will continue with strengthening exercises.However, it appears the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft is still a ways off from real basketball work. Coach Jacque Vaughn said Simmons is doing low-level work on his own, with no sprinting up the court or rebounding drills.The Nets said Simmons’ status would be updated again in approximately two weeks.Simmons’ last two seasons were cut short because of back injuries and he had surgery to remove a small fragment of a herniated disk following the 2021-22 season. He was averaging 6.5 points, 10.8 rebounds and 6.7 assists in six games before missing the last 11.___AP NBA: https://...

NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Anthony Gordon scored for the fourth straight home game for Newcastle to earn a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the English Premier League on Saturday.The winger tapped in from close range from Kieran Trippier’s cross in the 55th minute for the only goal of a game Newcastle dominated at St. James’ Park.It ended a run of three victories in a row without conceding for Man United, which was overtaken by Newcastle and dropped to seventh place.Already hit hard by a long list of absentees that is into double figures, Newcastle saw goalkeeper Nick Pope helped off in the 86th with a suspected dislocated left shoulder sustained when he dived to stop a ball that was blocked in front of him.“It’s looks bad,” Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said. “He’s done it before and had it operated on and come back successfully.

Newcastle defies long injury list to earn dominant win over Man United. Arsenal leads by 4 in EPL

Ravaged by injuries and hurting from a cruel VAR call in midweek, Newcastle was hardly in ideal shape as the same 11 players were sent out by manager Eddie Howe for a third straight game for the English Premier League meeting with Manchester United on Saturday.You’d never have known.Newcastle’s dominant 1-0 win at St. James’ Park was testament to the unwavering spirit in a squad being stretched to the limit as the Saudi-owned club challenges for trophies on all fronts.At the same time, it was a reality check for Man United after its recent revival in the league marked by narrow, scrappy wins and sensational goals.Anthony Gordon’s 55th-minute goal proved to be enough for Newcastle, which — in the space of a week — has beaten Chelsea and Man United either side of being denied a famous Champions League win at Paris Saint-Germain because of a roundly condemned handball decision.“It’s been a massive week for us,” Gordon said. “The same 11 players have played three games on the bounce and...
