MLB SPRING TRAINING

The strongest field of the year at The Players Championship will be without the biggest draw in golf. Tiger Woods isn’t playing. Woods will miss The Players Championship for the first time when not recovering from any of his nine surgeries. The 15-time major champ and two-time Players winner said Thursday on Twitter that it wasn’t an easy decision. “I have to listen to my body and properly rest when needed,” Woods said. “My back is simply just not ready for play next week. I’m sad to miss one of the best events of the season, OUR Championship.” Woods has played only two times this year, a tie for ninth at Torrey Pines and last place at the Genesis Invitational at Riviera, where he serves as tournament host. Woods shot 76-77 on the weekend at Riviera in the Pacific chill and said his back was a little stiff. ■Sung Kang shot a 4-under 68 and Tyrrell Hatton shot a 69 to share a one-shot lead midway through the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Fla. First-round leader Matt Every followed his opening 65 with an 83 in windy conditions at Bay Hill and missed the cut. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy shot a 73 and was two back of the lead.

Coronavirus:The alpine skiing World Cup Finals from March 18-22 in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy was among the latest events to be canceled because of the escalating virus outbreak. Several cycling races in Italy also were cancelled as was Saturday’s French league soccer match between two-time defending champ and current leader Paris Saint-Germain and host Strasbourg.

NFL:The Saints plan to place a first-round tender on restricted free-agent QB Taysom Hill, ESPN reported. The tender means another team would have to give up a first-round draft pick to sign him. The Saints also will have the right to match any offer that Hill might sign with another team after making him the qualifying offe. Hill, 29, is seen as a possible successor to 41-year-old Drew Brees. ... The Chargers and restricted free agent RB Austin Ekeler agreed to a multiyear extension worth $24. million over four years with $15 million guaranteed, ESPN reported. Ekeler, 24, shared backfield duties last season with Melvin Gordon.

MONTREAL — Henri Richard, the speedy and durable center who won a record 11 Stanley Cups with the Canadiens, died Friday. He was 84. The Canadiens an- nounced the death of the Hall of Famer on Twitter, calling him “one of the organization’s greatest leg- ends and ambassadors.” Richard had Alzhei- mer’s disease. He was better known as the younger brother of superstar Maurice “Rocket” Richard and was nicknamed the Pocket Rocket for his 5-foot-7, 160- pound frame. Richard was captain of the Canadiens from 1971 until his retirement in 1975. He succeeded the legend- ary Jean Beliveau, with whom he shares the record of playing 20 seasons for

the NHL club. Richard played 1, regular-season games, another Canadiens record. He scored 358 goals and had 1,046 points, third in team history behind Guy Lafleur (1,246) and Beliv- eau (1,219).

Devils end Blues’ streak: Dakota Mermis scored his first NHL goal, fellow de- fenseman Connor Carrick got his first of the season and the Devils stunned the visiting Blues 4-2 on Friday to snap the defending Stan- ley Cup champions’ eight- game winning streak. Cory Schneider made 31 saves in helping the Devils end a 12-game skid against the Blues, dating to Janu- ary 2014. Jesper Bratt also scored and Joey Anderson had an empty-net goal. Jordan Binnington had 28 saves in losing for the first time in seven starts.

Stephen Curry seemed every bit himself after a four-month layoff, save for a little long-range rust. “He looks exactly the same to me,” coach Steve Kerr said. Curry scored 23 points in his anticipated return from a broken left hand, but the Raptors beat the Warriors 121-113 in a re- match of last season’s NBA Finals on Thursday night in San Francisco to clinch a playoff spot. After being sidelined 58 games, Curry led the War- riors out of the tunnel to a big ovation — as loud as his neon sneakers, one pink and one yellow — and the crowd stirred every time the two-time league MVP pulled up to shoot. He finished with seven assists and seven rebounds in 27 minutes.

Layups:Free agent C Jo- akim Noah agreed to a deal with the Clippers, ESPN reported. Noah, 35, will join the Clippers on a 10-day contract next week but is expected the finish the season with the team.

The two-time All-Star hasn’t played this season. ... Magic F/G Evan Fournier is day to day with a hyper- extended right elbow. ... The league denied the Mavericks’ protest of the outcome of a Feb. 22 game and fined Mavericks owner Mark Cuban $500,000 for “public criticism and detri- mental conduct” regarding officiating. ... Bradley Bealsmade seven 3s and scored 35 points to lead the host Wizards past the Hawks 118-112. The Wiz- ards were 15 of 31 on 3s. The Hawks’ Trae Young missed the game with flu- like symptoms.
