Giannis posts 50 points, LeBron leads Lakers and Embiid held scoreless
Giannis Antetokounmpo scored a season-high 50 points and collected 14 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Utah Jazz 122-118 in NBA action on Monday.
It was Antetokounmpo's second 50-point game of his career, which helped extend Milwaukee's (14-3) winning streak to eight games.
Reigning MVP Antetokounmpo also recorded his 17th consecutive double-double – the longest streak to start a season since 1976-77.
Bojan Bogdanovic (24 points) and Donovan Mitchell (20 points) led the Jazz (11-6) on the road.
LeBron James, meanwhile, put up 33 points and 14 assists to see the Los Angeles Lakers to a 114-104 victory at the San Antonio Spurs.
Anthony Davis added 19 points and 12 rebounds for the 15-2 Lakers, who own the best record in the league.
Ospreys: Allen Clarke leaves head coach role
Allen Clarke has left his role as Ospreys head coach after a dire start to their 2019-20 season.
They have won only once in six Pro14 games and lost heavily to Munster and Saracens in the Heineken Champions Cup.
Clarke signed a three-year deal with Ospreys to be head coach in April 2018.
The former Ireland hooker joined the region as forwards coach in summer 2017, and became interim boss in January 2018 following the departure of previous boss Steve Tandy.
Losing at Liberty Stadium to South African team Southern Kings on 9 November was arguably the lowest point in recent Ospreys history.
It prompted Clarke to admit the team was going through a "dark period" along with the belief they would "come out the right side of it".
Anthony Watson: England and Bath back out until at least Christmas with knee injury
England and Bath back Anthony Watson will be out of action until at least Christmas after sustaining a knee injury in their defeat by Harlequins.
Watson, who had an MRI scan on Monday to assess the extent of the injury, does not require surgery.
Meanwhile, club captain Charlie Ewels, who also limped off with a knee injury, has suffered a medial ligament tear.
"Both are collision injuries which happen and there's nothing we can do," director of rugby Stuart Hooper said.
Speaking to BBC Radio Bristol, Hooper continued: "Anthony is in a brace but doesn't require surgery and we will get him back ready to perform as soon as possible.
Willis Halaholo: Blues centre hits back at critics of his Wales call-up
Willis Halaholo has hit back at critics of his selection for Wales' squad to play Barbarians.
The New Zealand-born centre qualified on residency at the start of November, but has been ruled out after suffering a serious knee injury.
His selection, along with fellow Kiwi Johnny McNicholl, led to some criticism on social media.
"[To] all the doubters, haters and people that don't think I belong here, you got your wish," he posted.
Halaholo was referring to tweets questioning whether players should be selected through residency rules.
Jofra Archer: No time or place for it - England bowler on racism
England bowler Jofra Archer has condemned the racist abuse he received from a fan during the first Test against New Zealand.
Archer, 24, says he heard comments from "one guy" at the Bay Oval in his side's defeat by an innings and 65 runs.
"I found the incident a real shame," Archer wrote in the Daily Mail.
"If someone wants to shout at me and tell me I'm bowling badly - that's fine. To hear racism, though, that's another matter."
He continued: "There is no time or place for it in any walk of life, let alone cricket. It's just not called for."
Chris Silverwood: England head coach to return home following bereavement
England head coach Chris Silverwood will return home after day two (Saturday) of the second Test at Seddon Park following a family bereavement.
Assistants Graham Thorpe and Paul Collingwood, along with Test captain Joe Root, will take charge for the remainder of the tour of New Zealand.
The second Test begins in Hamilton on Thursday.
The rest of the squad will return to England following the conclusion of the second Test on Wednesday, 4 December.
