Now, he’s No. 1. The Nuggets’ big man was revealed Tuesday as the NBA’s Most Valuable Player for 2020-21, mak- ing him by far the lowest draft pick ever to win the award. Jo- kic got 91 of the 101 first-place ballots cast. Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid was second, Golden State’s Stephen Curry was third, 2019 and 2020 MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo of Milwaukee was fourth and Phoenix’s Chris Paul was fifth. FOOTBALL Jim Fassel, coach who took Giants to Super Bowl, dies at 71 — Jim Fassel, whose bold guarantee of a playoff bid late in the 2000 season seemingly catapulted the New York Giants to a spot in the Super Bowl, has died. He was 71. Son John Fassel, special teams coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys, told the Los Angeles Times his father was taken to a Las Vegas hospital with chest pains and died while being treated Mon- day. Fassel, the 1997 NFL coach of the year, guided the Giants from 1997 to 2003, posting a 58-53-1 record. TENNIS Tsitsipas beats Medvedev, will face Zverev in French Open SF — Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev will meet each other for a berth in the French Open final after straight- set quarterfinal victories Tuesday.

Zverev ousted 46th-ranked Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-4, 6-1, 6-1. HORSE RACING Baffert, Medina Spirit owners sue Kentucky racing officials — Trainer Bob Baffert and the owners of Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit have filed a lawsuit against Ken- tucky racing officials. They are seeking a temporary injunction they say is to prevent violation of due process rights and for cus- tody of “remnant” samples of the colt’s urine to prove that traces of the steroid betamethasone found in his system during a pos- itive drug test did not come from an injection. Medina Spirit’s Derby victory on May 1 is in jeopardy after a failed postrace drug test revealed 21 picograms of betamethasone in the horse. COLLEGE SPORTS Gonzaga promotes Chris Standiford to replace Mike Roth as AD — Gonzaga promoted Chris Standiford to di- rector of athletics on Tuesday following the announcement that Mike Roth is retiring at the end of August after 24 years of leading the Bulldogs’ sports programs. Standiford has been a member of the Gonzaga staff for 31 years and currently is the deputy director of athletics, the school said in a statement. Roth announced Monday that he would retire.

Track “Historic Hayward Field,” antiquated though it was, was a remarkable place of synergy between athletes and passionate fans. The alchemy produced something that became known as “Hayward Magic.” Many of the current UO athletes haven’t experienced it. UO coach Robert Johnson said some aren’t sure what to expect. “They just don’t know,” Johnson said. “I was like, ‘Hey, for you rookies that never experienced that Hayward Field magic, that’s the last thing you need to be worried about. These are some of the most knowl- edgeable fans in the world. They will do their part.’” If the LSU men falter at all, this could get interesting fast. The Ducks have heavy hitters such as mid-distance runners Cole Hocker and Cooper Teare, freshman sprinter Micah Williams and triple jumper Emmanuel Ihemeje. All are potential event winners. Williams is the reigning NCAA indoor champion in the 60 meters. Hocker won NCAA indoor titles in the mile and 3,000. Teare holds the NCAA indoor record in the mile. Both Hocker and Teare are looking up on the UO career bests list at James West, who holds the school record in the 1,500 of 3:34.07. Hocker and West are entered in this Ducks “Your backs are against the wall and you need to use your plays that you’ve prac- ticed to where you can get out of a situa- tion that is a low-percentage time to get out of it,” Oregon coach Mark Wasikowski said. “To sit back and not put those plays on would be giving somebody a tie or a win and we’re never going to give anybody anything. We’re always going to be on the aggressive. We’re going to use the plays that we have that are designed to elimi- nate runs and win games. Tonight it didn’t work out. It’s very disappointing. “We definitely and clearly saw the en- ergy of the runners and where available outs were in that scenario and we were us- ing plays to get that available out and make sure that we won the game.” Aaron Zavala and Matthews hit back-to- back one-out singles to put the tying run SOCCER MLS EASTERN CONFERENCE W L T Pts GF new england 5 1 2 17 11 Phila. 4 2 2 14 9 Orlando City 3 1 3 12 8 ny City FC 3 2 2 11 13 CF Montréal 3 3 2 11 10 Columbus 3 2 2 11 7 nashville 2 0 5 11 9 atlanta 2 1 4 10 9 new york 3 4 0 9 10 d.C. united 3 5 0 9 8 inter Miami CF 2 4 2 8 8 Toronto FC 1 4 2 5 8 Chicago 1 5 1 4 4 Cincinnati 1 4 1 4 6 WESTERN CONFERENCE W L T Pts GF seattle 5 0 3 18 14 sporting KC 5 2 1 16 15 la Galaxy 5 2 0 15 11 Colorado 4 2 1 13 12 houston 3 3 2 11 11 san Jose 3 5 0 9 11 Portland 3 4 0 9 9 Real sl 2 1 3 9 9 la FC 2 3 2 8 8 Vancouver 2 4 1 7 6 austin FC 2 4 1 7 5 Minnesota united 2 4 1 7 6 FC dallas 1 3 3 6 8 NOTE: Three points for victory, one point for tie.

Hocker and Teare are penciled into the 5,000. In a meet with a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 scor- ing system, the Ducks bring lots of fire- power. But if LSU holds to form, it’s proba- bly not enough. The Tigers are loaded in the sprints and hurdles, and have two formidable relays. Asked if his team could sweep the short stuff, LSU coach Dennis Shaver said: “That’s kind of the plan. We hope that hap- pens.” He conceded it probably wouldn’t, which is why it’s nice to have packed a margin for error for the trip. “If you win by one point, you’re the NCAA championship team,” Shaver said. “So, that’s all that matters to us.” The Oregon women come in with big- point potential that includes sprinter Kemba Nelson, 2021 NCAA indoor champ and collegiate record-holder in the 60, stee- pler Aneta Konieczek and Carmela Car- dama Baez in the 10,000. Portland-area prep fans will remember former Grant High School star Ella Dona- ghu of Stanford, who figures to contend in the 1,500 and 5,000. Whether the Ducks can score well enough to muscle into position for one of the four women’s team trophies might hinge on whether the new stadium pro- duces the same sort of “Hayward Magic” the old one did. Johnson scoffed at the question, saying the alchemy has nothing to do with the sta- dium’s appearance. “‘Hayward Magic’ at Hayward Field is something special,” the UO coach said. “No matter the building, no matter the stands, no matter the track, no matter the infield layout, no matter any of those things, the people here in Eugene make that magic. “Coming off the Bowerman Tower or the Bowerman Curve, however you seem to want to call it, those things are special. It’s going to be real exciting to see.” aboard in the ninth for Oregon and Josh Kasevich drove in one via a groundout. An infield single by Tristan Hanoian moved the tying run to third and Sam No- vitske battled in a two-strike count before flying out to right to end the comeback at- tempt for the Ducks (39-16), whose season comes to an end. The late dramatics capped what was a spectacular back-and-forth game that, un- til the eighth inning, was going more or less to plan for Oregon. The Tigers (38-23), who advance to a Super Regional at No. 3 Tennessee next weekend, took an early lead on a mam- moth two-run blast by Dugas. Oregon responded in the second with an RBI double by Novitske, who stole third and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Sam Olsson, then Zavala launched a two-run homer in the third to give the Ducks a 4-2 lead. Olsson started a two-out rally in the fourth and scored on a single by Tanner Smith. Dugas led off the bottom of the inning with his second home run of the night and third in two games against UO. Drew Bi- anco singled, stole second, then advanced and scored on back-to-back wild pitches by Mosiello to make it 5-4 after four. Bianco lined a two-run home run to left-center off Ayon to give LSU a 6-5 lead after six, but Oregon responded imme- diately in the seventh as Kenyon Yovan smashed a two-run shot to give the Ducks a 6-5 lead to put in the hand of Somers, who has 11 saves on the season but none for three innings. “We knew that getting to the top of their order in the eighth inning, the game was going to be won in the eighth inning,” Wasikowski said. “We knew that. We needed to prevent them from scoring in the eighth inning and we weren’t able to do that.” Continued from A5 Continued from A5 John McDonnell, mighty Arkansas track coach, dies at 82 — John McDonnell, the track and field coach who set a Washington (Corbin 3-5) at Tampa Bay (McClanahan 2-1), 4:10 p.m. Cleveland (Mejía 1-0) at st. louis (Wainwright 3-5), 5:15 p.m. BASEBALL PREPS THURSDAY TENNIS French Open, women’s semifinals French Open, women’s semifinals GOLF Korn Ferry Tour, BMW Charity Pro-Am PGA Tour, Palmetto Championship at Congaree LPGA Tour, MEDIHEAL Championship BASEBALL MLB, Atlanta at Philadelphia MLB, Seattle at Detroit MLB, Houston at Boston TRACK AND FIELD Diamond League Series, Florence NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships BASKETBALL WNBA, Los Angeles at Washington NBA playoffs, Brooklyn at Milwaukee NBA playoffs, L.A.
