DETROIT, Mich. — Ben Wallace is an NBA Hall of Famer, NBA champion and four-time Defensive Player of the Year. Now the 47-year-old can add basketball operations and team engagement advisor for the Detroit Pistons to his resume.
The Pistons announced Friday that Wallace has been hired in this role to assist general manager Troy Weaver and head coach Dwane Casey with the basketball operations staff and the developmental aspect of players on both the Pistons and Motor City Cruise of the NBA G League.
“Ben is a Hall of Famer and a Pistons legend who has continued to come back home and support our team and our organization,” team owner Tom Gores said in a statement. “He embodies everything we are building here and will be a real asset to Dwane, Troy and the rest of our staff. Ben helped set the standard for what it means to be a Piston and will be a tremendous influence for our young players.”
Wallace will also contribute to community efforts. He is one of the franchise’s all-time greats with his No. 3 jersey being retired in 2016. He went undrafted out of Virginia Union University, a member of historically Black colleges and universities. Because his hard-nosed defense, he made the All-Star team four times and was named All-NBA five times. Wallace also secured a spot on the All-Defensive team six times, including being named to the first team in five separate seasons.
Formula 1 is discussing a long-term deal with the Istanbul Park circuit after Turkey again stepped in as a race replacement on this season’s calendar, the sport’s chief executive Stefano Domenicali said on Friday.
Turkey returned last year after an absence of nearly a decade, with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton clinching a record-equalling seventh F1 championship in a wet and slippery race.
Istanbul Park operator Intercity has been seeking a long-term contract since then, but the announcement last week of a 10-year deal with Qatar from 2023 has added a further complication.
The sport will have a record 23 races next year already and could stretch to 24 in 2023.
However, Domenicali told reporters after an event at the Istanbul Bourse, that it was “a matter of having the right mix” and aligning “strategic goals.
And added: “Of course there are discussions that are taking place over the next days, weeks. The calendar is for sure full, but there are places where maybe we have other choices for the future.”
Speaking alongside Domenicali, Intercity Chairman Vural Ak said they were working to secure a contract of up to 10 years: “As Mr Domenicali said, there may be many things that change – it’s full of surprises – but as Intercity Istanbul Park we are always ready.”
Despite the track being popular with drivers, the Turkish Grand Prix drew low crowds when the country hosted races between 2005-2011.

Tyson Fury’s and Deontay Wilder’s teams were engaged in a verbal jousting match as the two fighters prepared to weigh in ahead of Saturday’s world title fight in Las Vegas. The pair are preparing to face off for a third time, after the first meeting ended in a draw and the second bout saw Fury win via a technical knockout.
A clip shared on Twitter on Friday night showed both fighters and their teams shouting at each other, with clearly audible comments made about the other fighter’s mother.
The exchange, which was captured from the perspective of the Fury camp, went on for a few seconds before the Briton entered his dressing room, and a member of the Fury entourage continued the exchange before also entering the dressing room.
The Fury-Wilder series is expected to be concluded with this weekend’s third fight, with many fight fans still keen to see Fury take on Anthony Joshua, despite Joshua having lost to Oleksandr Usyk last month.
Speaking after weighing in at nearly three stone heavier than Wilder – 277lbs to 238 lbs – Fury said of his weight advantage. “It means total obliteration of a dosser, total annihilation. 277 pounds, I’m going to put him in the Royal Infirmary after this fight.”
Fury was asked about the impact Wilder’s new coach Malik Scott will have on the outcome of the fight an gave him short shrift: “Nothing, it’s one s***house teaching another s***house how to fight. Both a pack of losers.
“The man couldn’t fight himself, he was a s***house. So when you’ve got one s***house teaching another s***house how to fight, you’re on for a real pack of s***house cowards.”
Fury also had a sickening word of warning for Wilder’s wife, who was in attendance at the weigh-in.
He said: “I’m going to really severely damage him. He’ll be unrecognisable after our fight.
“I see his little pretty wife down there, she’ll not recognise him, don’t worry about that. I’ll send him home butchered.”
Fury coud face the winner of Otto Wallin vs Dillian Whyte if he gets the better of Wilder for a second time this weekend.
Whoever wins out of Wilder and Fury will be obligated to agree to contest a unification bout within 30 days of the fight in Las Vegas, but given Oleksandr Usyk is required to face Anthony Joshua in a rematch, the next fighter in line is WBC interim champion Whye.
A WBC statement said: “The WBC Board of Governors has reviewed the recent history in the Heavyweight Division.
“Considering the long inactivity in the division due to the pandemic, ongoing legal processes, and Covid-19 infections, the WBC has ruled that the winner of this fight will have 30 days to secure a contract to unify the Heavyweight Division against WBO-IBF-WBA champion Oleksandr Usyk in search of an undisputed champion in the division.
“If no unification bout is secured within that time, the winner of Fury v. Wilder 3 must then fight next against the then reigning WBC Interim Heavyweight Champion.”
NZ coach feels “there are six-seven teams that could win this tournament”
Having won the inaugural World Test Championship earlier in June, New Zealand now have the rare chance to clinch another world title in the same year as they prepare for the forthcoming T20 World Cup in the UAE. Head coach Gary Stead said that New Zealand aren’t distracted by that prospect and that their main focus is to first qualify for the semi-finals.
“Every tournament you go in, you go in with high hopes, hope to win games and put yourself in a position to achieve that,” Stead said during a virtual media interaction after arriving in the UAE. “I guess our first one is focusing on one game at a time, but the main goal is to get to that semi-finals stage and if you’re there, you’ll know that you’re only two wins away from a title. We’re in a tough pool, I genuinely think there are six-seven teams that could win this tournament, and I guess that’s good for world cricket as well.”
New Zealand are placed in Group 2, which also includes former champions India and Pakistan. They will first run into Pakistan in Sharjah on October 26 and there could potentially be some tension around the clash after New Zealand recently called off their limited-overs tour of Pakistan, citing security concerns. Newly appointed PCB chairman Ramiz Raja was particularly critical of New Zealand’s abrupt pullout, promising to avenge the cancellation when Pakistan face them at the World Cup.
Stead, however, downplayed the chatter around the game. “I’m not sure if there’s any more tension on it from our perspective,” he said. “Obviously, what happened in Pakistan was sad for Pakistan cricket, their players and also our players who missed out on that opportunity as well. We can’t change what has happened there; all we can do is, I guess, prepare for the tournament, and we face Pakistan first up. I’m sure it will be an exciting game. We’ve always had good games with Pakistan cricket and this one will be no different.”
Stead said that New Zealand are also wary of the challenging conditions they could face in the UAE. They will play two games in Sharjah, where pitches have become sluggish after being relaid and as many in Dubai, where tracks have slowed down at the fag end of this IPL, before rounding off their league stage with the match against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi. It helps New Zealand that ten players in their World Cup squad are currently part of the IPL in the UAE and the likes of Martin Guptill and Ish Sodhi, who had arrived in the UAE earlier from Pakistan, have been training with Thilan Samaraweera.
“We’ve taken it [mental health] very seriously and tried to be upfront with our players and stuff around how we sit with it.”
Gary Stead, NZ head coach
“I’ve watched a fair bit of the IPL,” Stead said. “It looks like there are three different surfaces and even as the tournament progresses, there seems to be the odd bit of rogue score – a very high-scoring game in Abu Dhabi, where 190 got chased down but the norm has been anywhere between 120 through to 150 mark. With the three grounds, I guess, they will provide different options and opportunities that we need to consider as well. We will certainly be calling on the expertise of and knowledge of those guys that have been playing in the IPL – what they can add to our intel as well.”
Stead stressed that the mental well-being of the players and staff is something that is of utmost priority for New Zealand. Stead, the rest of the support staff, and wicketkeeper-batter Devon Conway are currently in isolation for six days before they could head out and train.
“We’ve taken it [mental health] very seriously and tried to be upfront with our players and stuff around how we sit with it,” Stead said. “We’ve also brought John Quinn with us to look after the well-being of our staff and players who are over here at the World Cup and then John will go home and will be replaced by Rod Corbin – they are guys within our mental skills network of providers back home. Those guys are there just to make sure they are checking in with all our players and staff and making sure we are taking that really, really seriously as well.
“When you sit in a room for long periods of time, it’s not always that easy. It’s perhaps a novelty for the first day or two, but then when you look at the same four walls time and time again, it can be difficult. That’s, I guess, the world we live in at the moment, but also understanding that we’re in a privileged position of being able to tour around the world as well and play these World Cups, which is still exciting for us.”
As part of New Zealand’s plans to rotate players and even staff over the winter, Stead himself was given a break for the tours to Bangladesh and Pakistan, with Wellington Firebirds head coach Glenn Pocknall standing in for him. Stead was pleased with the progress of the fringe players who stepped up in spin-friendly conditions and ran a near-full-strength Bangladesh side close before eventually losing the series 3-2.
“It was definitely a different experience [watching the Bangladesh tour from the outside],” Stead said. “I’m really proud of the way the guys played over there. That was a relatively inexperienced Black Caps team that went over there when you consider what we normally had and to be able to take two games off a real quality side was encouraging, and to be in the running for all five matches was also very encouraging. So pleased with the development of the team there. We’ve planned out well in advance because of the well-being aspect of all our players and this was going to be the way we would tour for the winter. I guess, no surprises from our sense of how it’s playing out.”
The Montreal Canadiens‘ star goaltender will take part in the NHL/NHL Players’ Association joint player assistance program.
Carey Price will be stepping away from the team while voluntarily taking part in the program though the league and players’ association did not specify why in a brief statement issued Thursday.
General manager Marc Bergevin admitted that he was caught off guard, saying he only learned of the news the previous day. He told reporters that he wants to respect Price’s personal life and that the Hab will be absent from the club for at least 30 days.
“I think that going to get help shows a lot of courage,” Bergevin said. “And at the end of the day I sincerely believe everything will go back to normal.”
Bergevin said that he isn’t thinking of Price, the goaltender, but of “Carey Price, the human being.”
The news comes one day after the Habs head coach said that the 34-year-old native of Anahim Lake, B.C., would likely not be taking part in the regular season opener.
On Wednesday, Dominque Ducharme said Price is “not doing well right now” as he recovers from a non-COVID illness. Price is also recovering from off-season surgery to repair a torn meniscus.
Angela Price, his wife, published a statement on Instagram in support of her husband. She said part of the privilege of being in the position their family is in is that they can show others there is help available.
“No matter what is on the line, we hope we can communicate the importance of putting your mental health first not just by saying it, but by showing up and doing the work to get better,” she wrote.
She added that “Carey’s showing up for himself and our family and making the absolute best decision possible for us.”

Angela Price said it is “incredibly important” for them to show their three children “that asking for help and letting yourself be supported by others is not just OK, but encouraged — any time, and under any circumstance.”
The Habs GM also encouraged hockey players and the public to seek help when needed.
“Because your hockey career lasts so many years, but you have the rest of your life — your kids, your family — that’s the most important thing,” Bergevin said.
Price’s decision has prompted supportive messages from other hockey players and politicians alike. Former Hab Tomas Plekanec said he has the utmost respect for his old teammate.
“No question Carey will come back even stronger,” he wrote on Twitter.
I’ve known @CP0031 for long time.I was proud to call him my teammate! I have the utmost respect for his decision. No question Carey will come back even stronger.I wish him all the best, and I can’t wait to see him back happy and healthy! @CanadiensMTL@ByAngelaPrice@NHLPA@NHLpic.twitter.com/RM2gO1jSzw
Dale Weise, who also shared the ice with Price, said “the amount of people this will impact and help by a guy of this magnitude coming out and saying he needs help will be astronomical.”
Quebec Premier François Legault gave his best wishes to the goalie shortly after the announcement was made.
“We wish Carey Price a speedy recovery,” he wrote on Twitter.
The Canadiens will open the 2021-2022 season on Oct. 13 in Toronto.
Tyson Fury‘s father has accepted that he will not be able to travel to be with his son to support him in his trilogy fight on Saturday night. Tyson takes on Deontay Wilder for the third time in Las Vegas this weekend, but the WBC and The Ring world heavyweight champion’s father will not be ringside after being denied entry to the US.
John Fury, a former boxing professional himself, served four years of an 11-year prison sentence after being found guilty of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm in 2011.
He had gouged the eye of someone with whom he had a long-term feud, causing him to miss years of his son’s career as Tyson rose through the ranks while John served his sentence.
Despite being given a high-profile BT Sport punditry role and becoming a famous face in his own right since, John has been denied a visa to enter the US, meaning he will be apart from his second eldest son again as he takes on Wilder in a world title fight.
He insists, though, that he is not bitter about the decision and accepts that he continues to pay for his crime.
The 57-year-old admitted he would love to be able to see his son fight on British shores again, but accepts that Tyson is doing well overseas and doesn’t need him there to be successful.
“If is the smallest word in the dictionary but it is also the biggest. If Tyson fights Dillian Whyte back in England next then yes I will be there but I will be nervous and jittery,” John Fury said.
“It will be all brand new again, it will be like being let out of prison all over again, like a child with a new toy.
“But Tyson is doing amazing things over in America and has proven he doesn’t really need his dad. I could be the jinx.”
PHOENIX — Trevor Ariza will be sidelined about two months after having surgery on his right ankle, the Los Angeles Lakers announced Wednesday.
Ariza, one of 11 new players added by the Lakers in the offseason, underwent an arthroscopic debridement procedure Wednesday. He has missed most of training camp because of the ankle.
The Lakers said Ariza, 36, will be reevaluated in approximately eight weeks.
Ariza returned to L.A. for a second stint with the franchise after winning a championship alongside Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol in 2009, signing a veterans minimum contract after being recruited by Russell Westbrook to join shortly after Westbrook was traded from Washington.
Ariza averaged 9.4 points and 4.8 rebounds for the Miami Heat last season, but only appeared in 30 of their 72 games.
L.A. fell to 0-2 in the preseason with a 117-105 loss at the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Westbrook and LeBron James did not play in either game.
“It’s going to come together,” Carmelo Anthony said after the loss to the Suns. “It’s going to be pretty when it do.”
With only two points separating 2021 Formula 1 World Championship leader Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen in a thrilling title race, neither can afford a slip in the remaining seven races.
Their contest resumes this Sunday at the Turkish Grand Prix. Both are hoping the Istanbul track is much more reliable than it was last year, when it had just been re-laid to host an F1 race for the first time since 2011 and was far too slippery.
Drivers complained throughout practice and qualifying about the unreliable surface on the 5.3-kilometre (3.3-mile) course.
Verstappen said it was like an ice rink and placed sixth in the race after qualifying in the second spot. Hamilton profited from the unpredictability of the race to rise from sixth on the grid to win and clinch a record-equaling seventh world title.
“I remember from when I was little, playing the F1 (computer) game on this track and it was one of my favourites. Last year I was very excited to come back, and I was disappointed because of the grip level,” Verstappen said at his news conference Thursday. “I hope this year will be a lot of fun because the track layout is really interesting, so let’s hope for better conditions.”
Verstappen could be further behind in the standings considering he started the Russian Grand Prix two weeks ago from the back of the grid. He went over his allocation of three engines for the season and took a grid penalty for using a fourth engine.
Although Hamilton won in Sochi to clinch a record-extending 100th F1 win, Verstappen limited the damage by finishing a surprise second as the rain came thundering down and chaos ensued with just a few laps left.
Hamilton was touched by the reception he got in Britain – and in Paris during his visit to Fashion Week – for his hundredth win.
“It was incredibly positive. I went back to the UK, running around London (with) people shouting out ‘100!’ and being at restaurants,” Hamilton said on Thursday. “Just everywhere I was going people were super positive, in Paris also. I wasn’t expecting it, but it was really nice to see.”
Now Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff is deciding whether it’s risky keeping Hamilton on his third engine for too long. It could be Hamilton’s turn to take a grid hit for an engine swap, to avoid a potential breakdown at Istanbul Park.
“It’s a possibility,” Wolff said. “Most important is that you don’t DNF (do not finish) because of a reliability issue.”
Ferrari has given Carlos Sainz Jr. a new engine, meaning he will start Sunday’s race from the back.
Verstappen is a major threat to Hamilton’s bid for an eighth world title to surpass Michael Schumacher and stand-alone among F1 greats. He leads Hamilton 7-5 for wins this season and 7-3 for pole positions.
While the drivers’ title race is close, Red Bull is dropping behind in the constructors’ and trails Mercedes by 33 points.
Some of that is down to bad luck, with Verstappen knocked out of the British Grand Prix by Hamilton and, in Hungary, getting bumped off track on the first lap after Valtteri Bottas’ poor start.
But it’s also because teammate Sergio Perez has not been scoring enough points. The Mexican driver has gone eight races without a podium since June when he placed third at the French Grand Prix. In those races, he has collected a mere 36 points compared to 84 in the first seven races of the campaign.
“I want to be back on the podium this weekend,” said Perez, who counts two wins among 12 career podiums but accepts he must do better in qualifying. “I am conscious we must get the car where it deserves on the grid.”
The Turkish Grand Prix took the slot normally reserved for the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka. That race was cancelled in August amid the government’s coronavirus concerns.
Red Bull is powered by Honda engines but the Japanese manufacturer is pulling out of F1 at the end of 2021. Suzuka would have been Honda’s last race, so in honour of Honda both Red Bull and feeder team AlphaTauri will have special liveries.
The Red Bulls will have a predominantly white livery, inspired by the Honda that American driver Richie Ginther powered to victory at the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix.
Pierre Gasly and home favourite Yuki Tsunoda’s AlphaTauris will carry “Arigato” – Japanese for thank you – on the rear wings.
Felix Auger-Aliassime’s dream of playing in a U.S. Open men’s final will have to wait for next year.
The 21-year-old from Montreal lost in straight sets Friday, dropping a 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 decision to second-seeded Daniil Medvedev of Russia.
The loss leaves Canada’s Grand Slam hopes on the shoulders of 19-year-old Leylah Fernandez, who makes her debut in the women’s final Saturday against Emma Raducanu of Great Britain.
“Daniil was the better player on the court today, for sure,” Auger-Aliassime said after the match.
“I had to play at my best level and even better if I wanted to win today, and I didn’t do it long enough.”
Auger-Aliassime, who was seeded 12th, held his own throughout the semifinal against the powerful Medvedev, thanks to crafty play at the net and returns his opponent often sent well past the baseline.

But a string of first-serve misses and double-faults saw the Canadian relinquish several scoring opportunities, especially early in the first set, which Medvedev — who barely seemed to break a sweat throughout the match — claimed easily.
And with a 5-2 lead in the second set, Auger-Aliassime failed to capitalize on a pair of set point opportunities. The Russian fought back to win five straight games and take control of the match.
Even Medvedev himself sounded surprised that he managed to win in straight sets.
“Everybody felt it was going to be one set (each)” after the second, he said, describing the reversal of fortune as a key turning point for both players.
“You never know how a match is going to go,” Medvedev said as he described closing the gap. “That’s the moment I could break him mentally, and that’s what happened.”
Auger-Aliassime committed 39 unforced errors, including 10 double-faults, three of them coming in the opening game. He managed only 17 winners to 37 for Medvedev, who had just 25 unforced mistakes.
Auger-Aliassime became the first-ever Canadian to reach the U.S. Open men’s semifinals earlier this week when Carlos Alcaraz of Spain retired from their quarterfinal match with a leg injury.

But he clearly had his hands full with Medvedev, despite the exhortations of a New York crowd that has demonstrated its affinity for Canadian players throughout the tournament.
“A player like this, you just don’t have room for making mistakes, room for losing your focus, which I did at the end of the second,” Auger-Aliassime said.
“He took advantage of it.”

Fernandez, whose surprising run to the final continued Thursday with a win over Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus, has attributed much of her success to the support of the U.S. fans.
Auger-Aliassime proved a favourite with the crowd Friday as well, particularly those brandishing Maple Leaf flags. “Go get ’em, Felix,” they shouted. “C’mon, Felix. You got this.”
He didn’t leave Flushing Meadows entirely empty-handed, however: organizers presented Auger-Aliassime with the tournament’s sportsmanship award, which goes to the players who most personify the spirit of the game over the course of the series.

Still, he couldn’t mask his disappointment.
“It’s great,” Auger-Aliassime said half-heartedly of what has indeed been a strong season-long performance, one that included his first-ever trip to the Wimbledon quarterfinals, as well as Friday’s semifinal berth.
“The final,” he added, “would have been even better.”
In women’s doubles, Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Brazil’s Luisa Stefani lost their semifinal match to the American duo of Coco Gauff and Catherine McNally.
Stefani landed awkwardly near the net during a first-set tiebreaker and injured her leg. Dabrowski and Stefani had a 2-1 edge in the tiebreaker at the time.
It will be Medvedev’s second appearance in the men’s final in three years after losing to Rafael Nadal in 2019. He’ll face either top-seeded Novak Djokovic or fourth-seeded Alexander Zverev, who were scheduled to play later Friday.
Djokovic is trying to become the first man since 1969 to win all four Grand Slam tournaments in a single calendar year. The feat was last accomplished by Rod Laver, the iconic Australian who basked in a heartfelt ovation Friday midway through the match at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Jon Rahm made a strong start on his return to Spain, shooting an 8-under 63 in the first round of the Spanish Open on Thursday.
Rahm was 6-under-par through his first eight holes before making his only bogey before the turn and finishing with three more birdies on his back nine.
Rahm, who started on the 10th hole, was two shots behind clubhouse leader Ross McGowan, the Englishman who had eight birdies and an eagle in a 10 under round of 61.
Rahm also had an eagle on his front nine, at the par-5 14th hole. He was a shot behind second-placed countryman Sebastián García Rodríguez, who had only one bogey in his 9-under 62 at Clube de Campo Villa de Madrid.
Spanish fans packed around the holes being played by Rahm, the U.S. Open champion and No. 1-ranked golfer in the world who is back in Spain for the first time in nearly two years.
He is seeking a third straight Spanish Open title, which would tie him with Spanish great Seve Ballesteros.
“I was very comfortable,” Rahm said. “I would have signed for the 8 under before I started.”
He has shot in the 60s in his last nine rounds at this event, with his highest score a 68 in the second round in 2018, when the tournament was played at a different course. He also shot 63 in the third round in 2019 at the Clube de Campo Villa de Madrid.
Rahm is making his first start since the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, where he contributed 3 1/2 points to Europe’s lost cause.
Rahm’s Ryder Cup teammate, Bernd Wiesberger of Austria, was in the same group and shot 1-under 70 after three bogeys and four birdies.
Rahm’s first birdie came at the par-3 11th after his ball stopped at the edge of the hole for several seconds before falling in, bringing some laughter from the Spaniard and a big roar by the local crowd.
Rahm’s lone bogey came after he found the fairway bunker and missed the green on the 18th, his ninth hole of the day.
The Spaniard has turned into a star transcending sports in his home country and huge crowds are expected at the Clube de Campo this weekend.
“We were really excited to be able to see Jon from up close,” Ana Conde, who traveled to Madrid from the northwestern region of Galicia with her two sons to see Rahm play, said. “It’s a great experience. My kids watch him on television all the time and now they finally can see him in person.”
Rahm, who lives in the U.S., said he was extra motivated to play in front of the Spanish fans again and was grateful for the unprecedented support he has received.
“When I see my face on buses and billboards I realize the impact that I’ve had. Little by little I’m getting used to it. I’m very motivated, there is nothing like the support of these fans.”
The tournament, which has been part of the European Tour schedule since 1972, was canceled last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Grant Forrest of Scotland made a hole-in-one at the par-3 ninth hole.
