Clark's attorney, Michael Andre, declined to say whether Clark has been questioned by police.

Chris Webber followed Allen Iverson out the door in Philadelphia. Two disgruntled All-Stars are gone and can't be blamed anymore for the 76ers' woeful season.

Allen Iverson snapped out of his shooting funk thanks to the return of J.R. Smith, yet a porous Denver defense kept him from celebrating.

Dikembe Mutombo swatted the shot by the kid half his age, then wagged his index finger to the crowd's delight. Mutombo stuffed another shot by Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum 3 minutes later to move past Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and into second place on the all-time blocks list. The 40-year-old Mutombo had five blocks in all and matched a season high with 19 rebounds in the Houston Rockets'...

Although both Portland and Dallas were playing for the second straight night, the Mavericks had a lot more energy than the Trail Blazers. Jason Terry scored 20 points and Josh Howard added 17 to lead Dallas to a 99-74 victory over the Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.

Gilbert Arenas was slowed again by Chicago in what turned out to be a Washington win, then was asked how it felt not to have to be Superman every night. "The supporting cast did a great job," Arenas said, holding back laughter. Then a loud voice drenched with sarcasm shot over from two lockers down: "Yeah, Wonder Woman was terrific tonight!" The postgame humor, and the in-game support, came from...

All these narrow wins by the Minnesota Timberwolves were bound to balance out sometime. The Los Angeles Clippers were the beneficiaries, even calling it their best victory this season.

Dwyane Wade's fourth quarter performance was proof that four games off was the remedy the All-Star needed to regain his explosiveness.

The Charlotte Bobcats proved good teams can't just show up against them and win. Again. Raymond Felton had 18 points and seven assists to lead six double-digit scorers for the banged-up Bobcats in a 103-96 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. Charlotte, which has one of the NBA's worst records, has just 10 wins this year and two of those victories have come over Pistons, who have the...

The high-scoring Buffalo Sabres can win when their offense has a slow night. Their defense and goaltending is pretty good, too.

Miller wasn't heavily tested by sputtering Chicago, which lost its fourth straight.

The Edmonton Oilers know the Sharks' power play can't dominate a game if it can't get on the ice.

On Tuesday, the Blues captured a 4-3 shootout victory in Columbus.

It'll be Sid the Kid and the Sabres in the NHL All-Star game.
