Anthony to OKC

-

Carmelo Anthony won’t be at Knicks training camp after all. He’ll be in Oklahoma City, joining Russell Westbrook and Paul George in a loaded lineup. The Knicks agreed to trade Anthony to the Thunder, saving themselves a potentiall­y awkward reunion next week with the player they’d been trying to deal since last season.

New York will get Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a draft pick, a person with knowledge of the deal said. The person spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade had not been announced.

CASEY CLOSING IN » Paul Casey shot a 5-under 65 to build a two-shot lead in the Tour Championsh­ip. That leaves him one round away from ending eight years without winning on the PGA Tour in the biggest way possible.

Casey holed a 40-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole and escaped with par on the closing hole at East Lake. He was at 12-under 198, two shots ahead of Kevin Kisner (64) and PGA Tour rookie Xander Schauffele (65).

LOGANO PUNISHED » Joey Logano was parked in NASCAR’s penalty box.

Logano was forced to strap in, put on his helmet and sit on pit road in the No. 22 Ford for the duration of a 50-minute Cup series practice Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. NASCAR punished Logano and his Team Penske team because the car failed inspection four times before Friday’s aborted qualifying attempt. NASCAR teams routinely hold cars for allotted periods of time during practice for various infraction­s. But NASCAR said it was the first time a Cup driver was benched for the entire practice.
