NEW YORK, N.Y. - Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young was
suspended one game without pay by the NBA on Thursday for
throwing a punch at Phoenixs Goran Dragic in the first
half the previous night. Suns centre Alex Len, ejected
after receiving a Flagrant 2 foul against Young, was
fined $15,000, and teammate Marcus Morris was fined
$25,000 for his involvement. Young, who threw the punch
with 7:33 left in the second quarter of the Suns 121-114
win, will miss the Lakers game at Boston on Friday night.

Rob Gronkowski was a training camp spectator last summer
while recovering from surgery. This summer, after another
operation, the New England Patriots star tight end is
expected to be on the field for the first practice
Thursday. "Hes been cleared to play," coach Bill
Belichick said Wednesday. Thats welcome news to his
teammates after a season in which Gronkowski played just
seven regular-season games. He missed the first six
following back surgery about a month before camp and the
last three, plus both playoff games, with a torn anterior
cruciate ligament in his right knee. "We were all hoping
Gronk would have a good recovery and so far he has,"
Patriots left guard Logan Mankins said. "Well just see
where he is, how good he is right now. Its great to have
him out there." The team could use his sure-handed
receiving, powerful blocking and fun-loving personality.
"Hes a tremendous player," defensive end Rob Ninkovich
said. "Hes one of the best guys you could ever meet. Hes
a great guy off the field. Hell say hi to anybody. Hell
do anything for you." Gronkowski stayed healthy his first
two seasons after the Patriots drafted him out of Arizona
in the second round in 2010. He played all 32 regular-
season games with 132 receptions and 27 touchdown
catches. But while blocking for an extra point in the
11th game of 2012, a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis
Colts, he broke his left forearm. That injury ended a
season in which he had 55 catches for 11 touchdowns and
was chosen for his second consecutive Pro Bowl even
though he couldnt play. He had four forearm surgeries and
a back operation. He watched training camp practices from
the sideline, often wearing a T-shirt and shorts. His
first practice in pads came last Sept. 1, seven days
before the season opener. After missing the first six
games, he led all NFL tight ends in the next six with 37
catches and 560 yards receiving. But his second reception
in the next game was his last of the season. Safety T.J.
Ward knocked him down with a hit tto the right knee in a
27-26 win over the Cleveland Browns in Foxborough on
Dec.dddddddddddd 8. Gronkowski was driven off the field
on a cart. He underwent surgery in January. Less than
seven months later, is there anything the Patriots can do
to better protect him? "The health of the team is the
most important thing that we have," Belichick said. "We
always try to do everything we can to help all the
players stay healthy and stay on the field. We do that
for everybody, every single guy. Its a consideration for
all them. Certainly Rob, but everybody." He said
Gronkowski cannot be put on the physically unable to
perform list because hes been cleared to play. "Robs
always worked hard. He worked hard as a rookie,"
Belichick said. "What weve seen, hes been consistent."
Tom Brady has certainly seen Gronkowskis consistency as a
receiver and blocker. With Gronkowski limited to seven
games, the quarterback was sacked 40 times last season,
one less than his career high in 2001, his first year as
a starter. "Hes a very good blocker, especially for his
position," Mankins said. "A lot of times the guys that
catch the ball as well as he does, they dont really block
at all. They try to get in the way sometimes, but Gronk
goes after people and he tries to block the best that he
can and most of the time its pretty good." His return
also would give Brady his most reliable receiver. The
teams other tight ends caught just 14 passes last season.
"Hes a big target for Tom to get the ball to and he gets
open," Mankins said. "Anytime you can have Gronk on the
field, its great." Gronkowski was on the field at
Gillette Stadium on July 1 at a Beyonce and Jay-Z concert
where his knee didnt seem to inhibit his lively dancing.
Now he seems on target to showing his moves in a game,
starting with the opener at Miami on Sept. 7. "Im happy
to see his progress and see him coming into the season
and staying healthy," Ninkovich said. "Obviously, thats
what everybody is talking about."
