Los Angeles  - With the dreamy prospects of having superstar LeBron James in a New York Knicks' uniform two seasons from now, the atmosphere in the Big Apple was electric until he and the Cleveland Cavaliers short-circuited the moment, at least for now.

"King James" scored a game-high 26 points before sitting out the final quarter, and the surging Cavaliers shrugged off the distractions to hammer the Knicks 119-101 on Tuesday night for their 10th win in the last 11 games.

Sydney, Nov 26 : Australian off-spinner Jason Krejza, who made an impressive debut against India earlier this month by taking 12 wickets, is doubtful to play in the second Test against New Zealand starting Friday, after injuring his right ankle during training session at Adelaide Oval.

London - Arsenal defender William Gallas will not leave the club in January, according to quotes attributed to his agent Etienne Mendy in French paper Aujourd'hui Sport on Tuesday.

Gallas's position has been in doubt since his attack last weekend on what he named a lack of respect and professionalism shown by some of his team-mates in Arsenal's recent poor run of form.

As a result, he is no longer team captain as manager Arsene Wenger appointed Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas new skipper.

London - Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson moved on Tuesday to play down reports linking forward Carlos Tevez with a move to Real Madrid.

The Argentina international has seen his first-team opportunities at the Premier league champions limited this season by the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov, and has been linked with a number of clubs.

Ferguson, though, was adamant he would not be selling, and especially not to Real Madrid, whose lengthy pursuit of winger Cristiano Ronaldo he saw off this summer.
