Uruguay's Suarez Bites Opponent, FIFA to Investigate - He’s one of the best players in the world and now FIFA is investigating him for biting his opponent. Luis Suarez bit Giorgio Chiellini during the second half of Uruguay’s 1-0 victory over Italy in World Cup action Tuesday. The Associated Press reported that FIFA announced early Wednesday that its disciplinary committee opened proceedings against Suarez hours after Tuesday’s incident. Oddly enough, this marks the third time that Suarez has bitten an opponent on the soccer field. A suspension would definitely hurt Uruguay’s chances of defeating Colombia on Saturday. Tuesday’s World Cup results also included Colombia blasting Japan 4-1, Greece scoring a 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast and England and Costa Rica battling to a scoreless draw. (Photo: Clive Rose/Getty Images)

Banned owner Donald Sterling wasn’t present. "He was not here today because our expectation was that it would take some time to get a decision from the federal court and we didn't want to have him come down here and put him on in this environment," Sterling’s attorney Bobby Samini told ESPN on Monday. "I don't think it was an unreasonable position to take." The attorney for Shelly Sterling countered by suggesting a bench warrant be issued for her husband. Although Sterling wasn’t present for the trial’s opening day, a federal court judge rejected his legal team’s motion to move the case from California probate court to federal court.

Report: Did Jabari Parker Tank Cavs Workout? - Sources are telling ESPN that the Cleveland Cavaliers are leaning toward taking Duke small forward Jabari Parker with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft now that Joel Embiid suffered a fractured foot. However, Parker being tabbed as the No. 1 pick is far from a lock, especially when his workout in front of the Cavs’ front office Friday didn’t go so great. Cavs sources say Parker was a bit heavy—255 pounds, which is up from the 241 listed as his playing weight—and looked indifferent. One source even told ESPN that he might have “tanked” the workout because he desperately wants to play for the Milwaukee Bucks, who have the second overall pick.
