UNDATED (AP) – Two people familiar with the decision say the Maloof family has agreed to sell the Sacramento Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen.

One person said the Maloofs are selling all 65 percent of their share for $525 million to Hansen, who will move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name.

UNDATED (AP) – Oregon has promoted offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich to head football coach, replacing Chip Kelly.

Helfrich was appointed offensive coordinator at Oregon when Kelly took over four seasons ago.
