CAVALIERS-WEST

West could return on Tuesday
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio
Delonte West could return to the Cavaliers' lineup when Cleveland hosts New Jersey on Tuesday.

Guard Mo Williams, out with a shoulder injury, says West will play against the Nets, although coach Mike Brown says he hasn't received final clearance. That could come Tuesday morning during shootaround.

West has missed the last eight games with a broken left ring finger. He began practicing again last week. Williams is expected back around the beginning of March.

The Cavaliers have won 11 straight without their top two point guards.


CAVALIERS-WATER FOUNTAINS

Cleveland arena removes drinking fountains
CLEVELAND
The home of the Cleveland Cavaliers says it has removed drinking water fountains to prevent the spread of bacteria and illnesses, such as swine flu.

Fans who want a drink of water can get a small cup free at Quicken Loans Arena concession counters or pay $4 for bottled water.

Team spokesman Tad Carper says the fountains were removed in November. He says the team takes advice on such health matters from the National Basketball Association and the International Association of Assembly Managers.

But officials from both organizations say they are not recommending that drinking fountains be removed.

BROWNS-STALLWORTH

Browns release WR Stallworth
CLEVELAND
The Browns have released wide receiver Donte' Stallworth.

Stallworth was suspended for the 2009 season by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after he pleaded guilty to killing a pedestrian while driving drunk in Florida. He spent 24 days in jail.

Stallworth played one season for the Browns, catching 17 passes for 170 yards and one touchdown in 2008.

Goodell said Friday that Stallworth would be reinstated after the Super Bowl.


ARENA LEAGUE-TV DEAL

NFL Network to air weekly arena league game
TULSA, Okla.
Arena football's new league has reached a one-year agreement with the NFL Network to broadcast a game of the week.

Spokesman Dennis Johnson confirmed Monday that the network will show one of Arena Football One's games each Friday night under the deal, which also has an option for a second year.

The agreement was first reported by Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journal.

Arena Football One was created in September, combining teams from the former arenafootball2 and new franchises in former Arena Football League cities.

Fifteen teams from cities such as Chicago, Dallas and Cleveland will play games from April to August.

AF1 commissioner Jerry Kurz did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Bryant, who paired with Christina Loukas for the 3-meter synchronized title on Saturday, felt ill prior to the event but still earned her sixth national title.

The 21 year-old from Minneapolis edged Brittney Feldman, 294.70-290-10. Kassidy Cook was third.
