BKN-LAKERS-DONCIC (Boston) -- Luka Doncic made half of his shots Saturday, and if not for LeBron James' groin injury in that game, we might be discussing that fact a bit more. It was only the second time as a Los Angeles Lakers player that Doncic managed the feat. The Lakers are racing against the clock to wring out the worst effects of new teammates playing together before the playoffs start. Can they be Phoenix in 2021 and click by the time the games truly matter? Or will the Doncic-James pairing need more time? Analysis by John Hollinger / The Athletic. Page 1 refer. DAY'S EVENTS OLY-TRANSGENDER-ATHLETES (Washington) -- A group of Republicans on Capitol Hill on Tuesday called on the organizers of the Olympics to "base eligibility for women's athletic competitions on biological sex," pushing to align the Games with an executive order President Donald Trump signed last month aimed at prohibiting transgender women and girls from competing in women's sports. Such a policy would be a departure for the International Olympic Committee, which leaves eligibility rules for transgender women up to the global federations that govern individual sports. By Robert Jimison. SOC-MANUNITED-STADIUM (London) -- In Jim Ratcliffe's telling, he's the one doing the favor. A favor to the people of Manchester, to the British government and to the country more broadly. The billionaire co-owner of Manchester United on Tuesday pitched a new soccer stadium as crucial to the success of plans by Britain's Labour Party to regenerate a large swath of the city the team calls home. Ratcliffe said a project to build a 100,000-seat venue next to Old Trafford, the club's storied current home, would lure visitors to Manchester like the Eiffel Tower brings throngs of tourists to Paris. By Tariq Panja. DOPING-REGULATOR-INQUIRY (Undated) -- The Justice Department and FBI investigation into whether the global anti-doping authority and China covered up the positive tests of Chinese Olympic swimmers who went on to win medals at the past two Summer Games has continued under the Trump administration, according to a draft document obtained by The New York Times. By Tariq Panja and Michael S. Schmidt. TWELVE HOURS OF SEBRING CAR-SEBRING-TANDY (Undated) -- For a farmer, Nick Tandy has not done too badly for himself in motor sport. In January, Tandy made history by becoming the first driver to win the grand slam of 24-hour racing with his victory at Daytona. It added to his wins in previous years at Le Mans, Spa and Nürburgring, all with Porsche. The Twelve Hours of Sebring is the next box to tick for Tandy, who supports his father in running a 250-acre farm. By Ian Parkes. CAR-ACTION-EXPRESS (Undated) -- The first race of the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, run by the International Motor Sports Association, had been going smoothly for the Action Express Cadillac team. But a suspension-part failure on the team's Cadillac V-Series.R car about halfway into the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January caused a crash and led to a ninth-place finish. But now, as Action Express prepares for round two of the season at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring this week, the team's 2025 race victory and title glory hopes are not lost. By Alex Kalinauckas. CAR-SEBRING-TRACK (Undated) -- The Sebring International Raceway's flagship event, the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, is one of motorsport's most prestigious events. The Florida track is among the oldest motor sport venues in the United States. The former World War II training base for B-17 and B-24 bombers was turned into a circuit by a Russian American engineer and held its first race on New Year's Eve 1950. In March 1952, the inaugural Twelve Hours of Sebring was run, and the race has been run annually, with the exception of 1974, because of the energy crisis. By Phillip Horton. OTHER FEATURES NY-PENN-STATION (New York) -- Nearly two years after New York's governor, Kathy Hochul, vowed to fast-track the long-overdue redesign of Pennsylvania Station, little has changed for the Manhattan transit hub that she once called a "hellhole." Now, an influential interest group is proposing a different approach: Move Madison Square Garden, which sits on top of the station, across the street and replace it with a much bigger train hall and a park.
