Mets raise concerns over Correa’s physical

-

The Mets and free agent shortstop Carlos Correa are “working through” a medical issue after his physical with the team apparently showed the same right leg concerns that nixed a deal with the Giants earlier in the week, according to ESPN.

Correa, 28, agreed to a 12-year, $315 million contract with the Mets just hours after a deal with the Giants was put on hold because of concerns with Correa’s lower right leg, which had been surgically repaired in 2014 after he broke the fibula on a slide during a minor league game. In the interim, Correa pivoted to the Mets.

NBA: For the first time in NBA history, five players scored at least 43 points on the same day. It happened Friday, with the Mavericks’ Luka Doncic leading the way with 50 points against the Rockets. The others: 76ers’ Joel Embiid scored 44 against the Clippers, the Thunder’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a career-high 44 against the Pelicans, the Knicks’ RJ Barrett had 44 against the Bulls and the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton scored a 43 against the Heat.

NFL: Several members of the Giants were in the Mall of America when a shooting occurred Friday evening at the mall’s Nordstrom’s location. A few players were in the mall, and several players were in the team’s meal room, a meeting-type room just outside their hotel, which was adjacent to the mall. No one from the team was harmed in the incident, which left a 19-yearold dead in the shooting. The Giants were in town to play the Vikings on Saturday.
