Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Damian Lillard scored 25 points and the Portland Trail Blazers, boosted by the return of center Robin Lopez, held off the Utah Jazz 103-102 last night. LaMarcus Aldridge added 22 points and 11 rebounds as Portland snapped a three-game losing streak.
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) – Offensive lineman Brayden Kearsley, who played two seasons at BYU, has transferred to Oregon State. Kearsley, who played at Aloha High School west of Portland, appeared in 18 games for the Cougars. The 6-foot-4, 300-pound lineman started three games as a sophomore last season despite missing games with injuries. Oregon State announced yesterday that Kearsley had signed a financial aid agreement to enroll. Under NCAA rules, he must sit out a year.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman will wait until after the birth of his son to make a decision on how to move forward with his injured left elbow, according to coach Pete Carroll. On his radio show on the team’s flagship station yesterday morning, Carroll said that he may have been misled on what type of surgery Sherman might need to repair the ligament damage in his elbow suffered in the NFC championship game.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Two-time Super Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson will again visit the Texas Rangers during spring training. Details were still being worked out, but the Seattle Seahawks quarterback is likely to have a similar experience as last year. Weeks after Seattle won the Super Bowl last year, Wilson spent a day in Surprise, Arizona. He went through a morning workout with the Rangers, took the lineup card to umpires before a spring training game and sat in the dugout without playing. He also addressed Rangers minor leaguers.
