king no decision in Pittsburghs 3-2 victory on Aug.dddd

New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis is expected to return to basketball activities in early August and be 100 percent by the start of training camp in September, general manger Dell Demps said Wednesday on The Jim Rome Show.Davis, 23, underwent an ultrasonic debridement and an injection of his own bone marrow March 25 to correct a stress reaction and tendinopathy in his left knee.For his knee, we expect him to be fully cleared in early August. I should say hes getting back to basketball activities in August, Demps said. Hes already shooting right now.Davis also was initially expected to undergo surgery to repair a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder, but the procedure was determined unnecessary after evaluation and consultation by his surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache.You dont want to rush this, Davis told ESPN in late March. All the trainers are doing a great job going by the plan, and its been working so far.Davis played in a career-low 61 games last season, finishing with averages of 24.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks. He has missed a combined 68 games in his four NBA seasons.Hes picked up weight, hes picked up muscle strength, Demps said. Hes becoming more of a leader. Defensively, he came into the league as a shot-blocker with offensive potential. I still dont think hes scratched the surface. I take that back; he has scratched the surface. But he can keep going and adding to his game. The skys the limit for him. Hes put in the time.Hes really committed to the organization -- he comes back to town, hes working out in the summertime, working out with our coaches. Hes always calling, seeing what he can do to help, as far as bringing players to New Orleans. Were totally, totally happy to have him as part of our organization. Los Angeles Angels Shirts .

MILWAUKEE -- Coming from Chicago, where sold-out crowds packed Wrigley Field throughout a four-game weekend series with the NL Central champion Cubs, to Miller Park, where a handful of diehards were on hand Tuesday night to open the final home stand of the season, was certainly a bit of a culture shock for the rebuilding Milwaukee Brewers.But their job, manager Craig Counsell says, will remain the same over the final few weeks.Thats part of being a professional, Counsell said Tuesday night after the Brewers came out flat in a 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh. Thats how it works. Theres certainly a different atmosphere here than at Wrigley Field. Its a different atmosphere, but its still a competition.Even without the crowds and postseason buzz in the air, the Brewers were happy to be back at Miller Park, where they have posted a respectable 39-37 record this season.It wasnt as loud, but still, its nice to come home, first baseman Chris Carter said.Theyll try to get back to their winning ways Wednesday when they continue a three-game series with the Pirates, who are still clinging to slim hopes of gaining a wild-card spot for the third consecutive season.Pittsburgh will take the field 4 1/2 games behind St. Louis for the second NL spot, with two teams in between.Right-hander Chad Kuhl takes the mound for his 12th major league start looking to close that gap; he has faced Milwaaukee once already this season, allowing two runs over 6 1/3 innings but taking no decision in Pittsburghs 3-2 victory on Aug.dddddddddddd 25 at Miller Park.That loss snapped a nine-game losing streak at Milwaukee; since then, the Pirates have won five in a row at Miller Park, their longest winning streak in Milwaukee since taking six in a row there in 2002.You cant really make it too big, Kuhl said. You just have to treat it like another day; and, once you get out there, its just you vs. the hitter. You dont make any park or any player bigger than it is.The Brewers counter with right-hander Jimmy Nelson, who is hoping to finish an up-and-down season on a high note.He began the year 5-3 with a 2.88 ERA through his first 11 appearances but has gone 3-11 with a 5.57 ERA over his last 19 outings.Nelson showed signs of improvement Thursday, holding the Cubs to just three runs despite giving up eight hits while striking out seven over six innings in a 5-4 victory that prevented Chicago from clinching the Central Division crown.Even with the current losing streak to the Pirates, the Brewers have dominated the series with their divisional rivals: Since 2007, Milwaukee is 64-22 against the Pirates at Miller Park and 103-61 against them overall.
