LOS ANGELES (AP) — Veteran forward Christian Wood has agreed to a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday night.The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Lakers hadn’t yet announced the deal for Wood, a Los Angeles-area native.Wood essentially confirmed the deal on social media, writing: “It’s always been my dream to be a laker.”Wood averaged 16.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game for the Dallas Mavericks despite playing largely as a reserve last season, his seventh in the NBA.He put up a career-best 21.0 points per game for Houston two years earlier, establishing himself as a dependable offensive performer in the NBA after bouncing back and forth from the G League earlier in his career. Wood can play as a small-ball center while stretching opposing defenses with his 3-point shot, but he sometimes struggles to match up defensively.The Lakers will be Wood’s eighth NBA team, and his fir...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gregory Santos issues a bases-loaded balk as the Kansas City Royals rallied from a six-run deficit to beat the Chicago White Sox 7-6 on Tuesday night. It was the Royals first series win since Aug. 1-3 against the Mets, ironically a series that included the first balk-off win in franchise history. They entered the ninth trailing 6-5. Nick Loftin reached on an error and went to second on a single by Michael Massey. Maikel Garcia hit into a fielder’s choice before Bobby Witt Jr. singled in the tying run. With two outs, Santos intentionally walked MJ Melendez to load the bases, bringing up Edward Olivares.Santos was called for a balk on his first pitch to Olivares.“I don’t know what he was trying to do,” Olivares said. “Maybe he was trying to speed me up.”The Royals had never won on a game-ending balk prior to this season, and now they’ve done it twice. The first was against the Mets on Aug. 1.“Prior to this year I can only remember it happening...

There might be a world that we sneak into the playoffs right now, I don’t know. I’m trying to see (Ronny) Mauricio, I’m trying to see (Brett) Baty, I’m trying to see (Francisco) Alvarez.
