Bogut retires from NBA

-

SYDNEY » Former No. 1 draft pick Andrew Bogut has quit the NBA and plans to play the next two seasons for the Sydney Kings in Australia’s National Basketball League.

The big Australian center told a Kings news conference Tuesday there are “no outs” in his deal if an NBA team should become interested.

A 13-year NBA veteran and championsh­ip winner, Bogut said he had always intended to return to Australia and it was only a question of when.

“Before anyone asks, no NBA outs, no European outs,” Bogut said. “I’m committed to being here for two years ... it will retire me from the NBA, I’m happy to say that today.” YORK, PA. » One of five black women golfers who say they were told to leave a Pennsylvan­ia club says it felt like they were “playing with targets on our backs.”

Sandra Harrison says representa­tives of the Grandview Golf Club in York told the group at the second hole they were playing too slowly.

After the ninth hole, an hour and a half later, she says they were told they took too long a break and needed to leave.

She says she and two other women left because they were so rattled by the treatment.

The club called police on the two women who remained. No charges were filed.

Club co-owner JJ Chronister has said she called the women personally to “sincerely apologize.”

Harrison says she’s still traumatize­d and hurt.
