HAMMOND, La. (AP) — LSU All-America forward Angel Reese was not with the Tigers when they tipped off against Southeastern Louisiana on Friday night.LSU did not immediately provide a reason for Reese’s absence, but coach Kim Mulkey was expected to address it after the game.The surprise scratching of Reese from the lineup comes after she was benched for the second half of LSU’s 109-79 victory over Kent State on Tuesday. Mulkey characterized that as a “coach’s decision” and did not elaborate.Reese had started LSU’s first four games, during which the Tigers went 3-1, and averaged 17 points and 10.3 rebounds during those games.Reese, nicknamed the “Bayou Barbie” and known for her eyelash extensions and pink finger nails, led LSU to its first national title in women’s basketball last season.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:40:25 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds cut ties with Nick Senzel on Friday, declining to offer their former first-round draft pick a contract for next season.Senzel became one of Cincinnati’s top prospects when he was selected by the Reds with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 amateur draft. But his career has been stalled by a series of injuries.Senzel, who played college ball at the University of Tennessee, hit .236 with a career-best 13 homers in 104 games this year. He has seen most of his big league action in center field, but he also can play second base, third base and the corner outfield spots.The 28-year-old Senzel is a .239 hitter with 33 homers and 125 RBIs in 377 major league appearances.Cincinnati also non-tendered pitchers Derek Law and Reiver Sanmartin. Law went 4-6 with a 3.60 ERA and two saves in 54 games this year. Sanmartin finished with a 1-0 record and a 7.07 ERA in 14 major league appearances in 2023.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlbSource
