BASKETBALL: The Toronto Raptors have gotten approval from the Canadian government to play games at their home arena this season, a team spokesman said Friday.
Toronto played last season in Tampa, Florida, because of travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
FOOTBALL: Dallas Cowboys right tackle La’el Collins was suspended five games Friday for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.
The suspension came a day after Collins played his first game since 2019 in the Cowboys’ opener, a 31-29 loss to defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay. Collins missed all of 2020 because of a hip issue that required surgery. Collins won’t be eligible until Week 8 against Minnesota, after Dallas’ open week.
