He is get ting used to these layoffs. “We’re just going to take a couple of days and get our minds right, get our bodies right and get ready to go,” he said. The San Antonio Spurs won their first trip to the champi onship round by sweeping the Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference finals with a 94-80 victory Sunday. Now San Antonio awaits the outcome of the Eastern Conference finals, with Indiana and New York tied 2-2. The NBA Finals begin June 16 at the Alamodome. The Spurs spent an extra night in Portland because their plane had mechanical trouble. When they arrived home Monday aboard their charter, a crowd of 3,500 fans greeted them. “They’ve been part of the Spurs family for 26 years,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “It’s just a thrill to be able to give this to them. I couldn’t be happier for them.” The Spurs came to San Antonio from Dallas as part of the ABA before the 1973-74 sea son. It is the only major-league sports team in town. Usually not one for playoff hype, Popovich could not help but delight over the airport party. “When you get all these peo ple out here, if you don’t feel that in your veins you’re pretty much a dead person,”.he said. Popovich did not schedule Mavericks’ dealings questioned DALLAS (AP) — Did the Dallas Mavericks exceed the salary-cap by showing Gary Trent the royal treatment? That is what the NBA is investigating, according to league spokesperson Chris Brienza. The NBA told the Associated Press Tuesday it is investigating whether Dallas should be held liable for salary-cap violations because Don Nelson, the head coach and general manager of the Mavericks, arranged for Trent, his fiance, their infant son, Trent’s parents and his fiancee’s mother to spend a week at his Maui, Hawaii vacation home last month. The team could be fined if found guilty of the offense. Nelson said he hoped the vacation would serve as a goodwill gesture to the 6-foot- 8, 250-pound forward, whom the Mavericks are aggressive ly trying to re-sign after a strong 1999 season. Trent averaged 16 points and 7.8 rebounds per game this year. He also finished third in the balloting for the league’s Most Improved Player award. His salary this season was $1 million. Series Continued from Page 3 The third game of the tourna ment will be played Saturday at 12:30 p.m. between A&M (52- 16) and Florida State (53-12). Texas A&M is bringing a strong group of hitters with them to Omaha. The Aggies have seven players who have put up double figures in the home-run category. Among them is the nation’s home-run leader, junior rightfielder Daylon Holt. A&M’s pitching staff is led by juniors Chance Caple, a first- round selection in last week’s Major League Baseball draft, and Casey Fossum, who recorded two wins against Clemson in College Station to give the Aggies the Super Regional victory. This is A&M’s fourth trip to the College World Series. The Florida State Seminoles boast one of the strongest and deepest pitching staffs in the tournament. The Seminoles also Karl Malone leads All-NBA selectioi NEW YORK (AP) — Karl Malone, who won the NBA’s MVP award last week, today became the first player to make 11 All-NBA first teams. Joining the Utah Jazz power forward on the first team were San Antonio’s Tim Duncan, Miami’s Alonzo Mourning, Philadelphia’s Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd of Phoenix. Six plavers had been on 10 All-NBA teams — Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, Bob Cousy, Bob Pettit and Jerry West. Malone received 113 first- team votes and 580 points from the 118 writers and broadcasters. Next was Duncan with 112 first- team votes and 576 points. Mourning received 95 team votes and 542 poit * Iverson had 93 first-team and 532 points, followed byL with 86 first-team votes and: lo points. Voted to the second were Chris Webber Sacramento, Grant Hil Detroit, Shaquille O’Nealol Los Angeles Lakers, Payton of Seattle and Hardaway of Miami. Kevin Garnett of Minm Antonio McDyess of Der Hakeem Olajuwon of Houst Kobe Bryant of the Lakers John Stockton of Utah made third team. practices for Monday or Tuesday. Workouts resume today. “The gym’s locked,” Popovich said. “We don’t want to see them on the court. We just want them to mentally and physically just restore themselves a little bit.” Rust does not seem to be a big concern for the Spurs, especially for veterans like Robinson who are glad to have some time off. “It’s played well for us so far,” Robinson said, pointing out the Spurs had a few days off between each playoff series this year. The Spurs have swept their last two rounds 4-0 and have won 10 straight playoff games. “After the first round we had a nice little rest then we came back pretty fresh. [We had] five [off] after the second roui think we'll do the same time,” Robinson said. “We ready to go.” The time off also gives pi guard Avery Johnson’s left a chance to heal. He bru! ; late in the first half of Sun:; game after he slipped onal spot. But Johnson came to: play most of the second ha!: ^ Popovich said there is nc structurally wrong and the k| will ease. After arriving Portland, Johnson sounded J to go. “We have to practice ei harder,” he said. “We’vesti one more goal.” Agassi injures leaves Weber Ope HALLE, Germany (AP) — Andre Agassi has an injured thigh that forced him to withdraw on Tuesday from a Wimbledon tune- up two days after winning the French Open. Agassi plans to return to the United States for treatment and intends to play Wimbledon, which starts June 28. He consulted the tournament doctor at the Gerry Weber Open before dropping out because of a pulled muscle in his right thigh. “It’s a great disappointment for me,” he said. “I thought two days of rest would be enough.” “I’d already felt it after the third round in Paris,” he added. AGASSI “This morning I thought it was only a sore muscle but unfortunately it is not. I don’t want to take any risks.” Agassi won Wimbledon in 1992, his first Grand Slam title. He added the U.S. Open in. the Australian Open in FL this past French Open, g72 a career Grand Slam.

Aggies Continued from Page 3 made the trip 17 times, but have never won the national title. In this decade alone, they have been eliminated from the College World Series six different times in three or fewer games. This is Texas A&M’s foil visit to Omaha. The Agj bring with them 127 home: this year and a neutral record of 10-3. Depending on the outconii this game, the Aggies willp Monday against either Statif University or Cal Fullerton. are supported by a powerful offense featuring Marshall McDougall, who blasted six home runs in one game against the University of Maryland. Florida State beat Auburn University in the Tallahassee Super Regional to make its 17th appearance to the College World Series. The last game of the first round will be played Saturday at 7 p.m. between Cal State- Fullerton (49-12) and Stanford (48-13). CS-Fullerton is not known for its big hitting, but once its batters get on base, they can be very crafty with 150 stolen bases this season. Coach George Horton’s biggest concern entering the tour nament is the availability of start ing pitcher Adam Johnson. Johnson and three other players were suspended from the Super Regional after being arrested. Despite the suspension, Fullerton defeated Ohio State University in the Columbus Super Regional.
