SPORTS BRIEFING
GOLF
Rahm withdraws from Memorial with big lead af-
ter positive coronavirus test — Jon Rahm walked off
the 18th green after tying the 54-hole record and building a
six-shot lead, leaving him on the cusp of joining Tiger Woods
as the only repeat winners of the Memorial. Moments later,
he doubled over behind the green and said in anguish, “Not
again!” Rahm was notified he tested positive for the corona-
virus, knocking him out of the tournament. The PGA Tour
said the Spaniard had come in close contact with a person who
was COVID-19 positive, meaning Rahm could play provided
he was tested daily. Every test since he arrived Monday came
back negative except the one after his second round, which was
completed Saturday morning. The tour said Rahm remained
asymptomatic. Rahm’s withdrawal results in Collin Morikawa
and Patrick Cantlay being tied for the lead at 12-under 204.
Thompson grabs lead at U.S. Women’s Open — Ameri-
can Lexi Thompson fired a 5-under 66 to grab a one-shot lead
over Yuka Saso (71) in the third round of the U.S. Women’s
Open in San Francisco on Saturday. Thompson carded five
birdies in her bogey-free round.
TENNIS
Nadal, Swiatek advance at French Open — Iga Swiatek
closed out her latest French Open victory and raised a trium-
phant right fist. Rafael Nadal won less than half an hour later
and celebrated with a left uppercut. The two defending cham-
pions make for a potent one-two combination at Roland Gar-
ros, where both won going away Saturday to reach the fourth
round. Swiatek rallied from a break down in the opening set
to beat Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (4), 6-0. Nadal eliminated Cam-
eron Norrie 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 and advanced to the round of 16 at a
Grand Slam for the 50th time. Roger Federer raised his total
to a record 68 trips to the round of 16 at majors by getting past
Dominik Koepfer 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4), 7-5. Sofia Kenin ad-
vanced to the fourth round for the third consecutive year by
winning a match against Jessica Pegula, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. The top-
seeded Novak Djokovic didn’t face a break point en route to a
6-1, 6-4, 6-1 victory over unseeded Ričardas Berankis. Seven-
teen-year-old American Coco Gauff advanced to the fourth
round in Paris for the first time. She led 6-1 when her opponent,
Jennifer Brady, stopped playing due to a left foot injury.

Blazers
Continued from B1
Also, he had Juwan Howard,
whose name also curiously sur-
faced in some circles along with
Billups and Kidd as a possible
replacement for the Stotts.
I’m not reading this as a head
to head Olshey vs. Lillard bat-
tle. The GM would lose that in
a first-round knockout. Olshey
is probably more worried about
his job security after offering
Stotts up as a sacrifice for his
own sins. But it’s curious to me
that after the Blazers fired Stotts
with $10 million left on his
contract that the forces work-
ing behind the scenes went to
the mattresses trying to gain
control. It’s something Paul Al-
len would have never allowed if
he were still alive and guarding
his basketball baby.
Back-channeling is nothing
new in professional sports. It
happens all the time. Agents,
coaches, players and media
are in a perpetual dance. It’s
why the regular-season report
about Stotts’ eroding job se-
curity attributed to a “source”
was passed along as gospel.
Franchise power plays ar-
en’t unusual, either, especially
when the parties involved smell
weakness in the organization
and control of Trail Blazers, Inc.
feels up for grabs right now.
Jeff Chiu/AP file
Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Jason Kidd during a game against
the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco in 2020.
At the end of the 2002-03
NBA season, Scottie Pippen
tried to work behind the scenes
to get a small ownership stake
in the Trail Blazers. His career
was winding down. Pippen’s
contract with Portland ended
and he reached out to Allen
and tried to get a meeting. Pip-
pen wanted to discuss the pos-
sibility of coming back for one
more season with the Blazers in
exchange for a small percentage
of team ownership.
Allen refused to even meet.
Said one franchise source:
“Paul wouldn’t even call Pip
back.”
We’re about to learn a lit-
tle more about his sister, Jody
Allen. The franchise has al-
ways been much bigger than
one player or person. Lillard
is making public demands. I
guess I don’t blame him. He’s
earned the right to have a vote.
I’m surprised long-time Lillard
ally and former Portland assis-
tant David Vanterpool wasn’t
mentioned. That is, unless Van-
terpool is so loyal to his former
boss (Stotts) that he wouldn’t
entertain taking his job.
Olshey remains employed,
for now, despite orchestrating
another first-round playoff dis-
appointment. His favorite can-
didate appears to be Billups.

up in it, too. It’s his job to see
how much leverage and power
Lillard might wrest. There were
a lot of glowing things said
amid the departure of Stotts.
But be sure, if Lillard wanted
Stotts to stay, he’d still be em-
ployed today.
This franchise needs leader-
ship. Not just a coach but orga-
nizational direction. At the very
least what is certain to come
from the drama is some clarity
on who is running the opera-
tion and where it wants to go.
Is Lillard digging in? Or just
offering a suggestion? Would
the Blazers dare to trade Lil-
lard at the height of his value?
His public demand on Friday
marked a sudden tactical shift
by a player who has mostly
preached loyalty and franchise
unity. Lillard has deftly worked
behind the scenes to push his
agendas in the past. Now, he’s
out front, calling his shot.
Lillard has three years re-
maining on his contract. It’s
a one-year player option af-
ter that. There’s a line of other
franchises forming outside One
Center Court ready to make
offers for the All-Star should
Portland balk at the notion of
handing over so much control.
It’s not the kind of game you
buy a ticket to watch. But we all
should have probably seen this
coming.
