NBA: Atlanta Hawks general manager Landry Fields said former Utah coach Quin Snyder will be “somebody we will consider” in the search to replace Nate McMillan. The Hawks fired McMillan on Tuesday, and Fields stressed the team’s eighth-place standing in the Eastern Conference is “not acceptable” for a team that advanced to the conference finals in 2021. Fields said Snyder, also a former Atlanta assistant coach, will be “part of that pool” of candidates. The 56-year-old Snyder guided the Jazz to six consecutive playoff appearances before stepping down after last season. Snyder was a Hawks assistant in 2013-14.

LEGAL: A reserve offensive lineman for the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles will make his initial court appearance in Ohio on rape and kidnapping charges next month after waiving his arraignment in the case. Josh Sills, an undrafted free agent who appeared in just one game this season, was scheduled to appear in Guernsey County Common Pleas Court on Feb. 16. He instead chose to waive his appearance, and a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf. Sills remains free on a $25,000 cash bond he posted and he is due to appear at a pretrial hearing March 9. His lawyer has said the allegations are false and that Sills will be aggressively defended. GOLF: Padraig Harrington is among 12 finalists for the World Golf Hall of Fame. A nominating committee narrowed the list to four men, four women and four contributors. Now the 20-member selection panel will decide who gets inducted during a March 8 vote at The Players Championship. Harrington, former U.S. Open champion Johnny Farrell and threetime LPGA major champion Beverly Hanson were finalists last time. Also on the ballot is two-time major champion and broadcaster Dottie Pepper. The four contributors voted as finalists include Butch Harmon and R&A chief Peter Dawson. Harmon has taken three players to No. 1 in the world, including Tiger Woods.
