Ellis suspended 30 games

The Golden State Warriors suspended injured guard Monta Ellis for 30 games without pay yesterday for violating his lucrative new contract by getting into a moped accident in the offseason.

Ellis, who agreed to a six-year deal worth $66 million during the summer, severely sprained his ankle in the accident in August. He recently underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament, sidelining him for at least the first several weeks of the regular season.

The Warriors counted their four preseason games in the suspension's length, which means Ellis won't return to the club until after Golden State's 26th regular-season game, against Indiana on Dec. 17.

Magliore out six to eight weeks

MIAMI -- Miami Heat center Jamaal Magliore will miss at least six weeks with a broken left hand, and could be sidelined even longer if surgery is required to repair the fracture.

Magliore was injured in Miami's preseason overtime loss against New Jersey in Paris on Thursday. He returned to South Florida after the game, while the Heat remained behind for a rematch with the Nets on Sunday in London.

With Magliore out indefinitely, the Heat will see more of Joel Anthony and David Padgett at center.

Price seizes one-shot lead

TIMONIUM, Md. -- Nick Price moved into position for his first win on the Champions Tour, shooting a bogey-free 66 to take a one-shot lead over D.A. Weibring after three rounds of the Senior Players Championship.

Starting the day in a fifth-place tie, Price moved up the leader board with birdies on three of the first five holes. He then peeled off 11 straight pars before sinking a 13-foot birdie putt on 17.

Price, 51, barely missed a 23-foot birdie putt on 18, then tapped in to close at 8-under 202.

Price earned more than $20 million on the PGA Tour and won two player-of-the-year awards, but he has yet to cash a winner's check in 30 tournaments on the 50-and-over circuit.

Weibring made five birdies in shooting a 66. Jeff Sluman (64) and Gene Jones (69) were at 6 under.

Sabbatini up by one after 63

SAN ANTONIO -- South Africa's Rory Sabbatini birdied the final hole for a 7-under 63 and a one-stroke lead over Zach Johnson in the Texas Open.

Sabbatini, a four-time tour winner who lives in Southlake outside Dallas, had an eagle and four birdies for a back-nine 29. Winless since the 2007 Colonial in Fort Worth, he had a 14-under 196 total.

Johnson, the 2007 Masters champion, shot a bogey-free 62.

Kim leads Stanford by one

DANVILLE, Calif. -- South Korea's In-Kyung Kim remained in position for her first LPGA Tour victory, shooting a 3-under 69 to take a one-stroke lead over Angela Stanford in the Longs Drugs Challenge.

The 20-year-old Kim, in her second season on the tour, had an 11-under 205 total on the Blackhawk Country Club course. She won the 2005 U.S. Girls' Junior.

Stanford shot a 67, the best round of the day.

Jankovic gains Kremlin Cup final

MOSCOW -- Top-ranked Jelena Jankovic rallied from a set down to cruise into the final of the Kremlin Cup with a 0-6, 6-1, 6-0 victory over defending champion Elena Dementieva.

In her third straight final, the 23-year-old Serb will face Vera Zvonareva. The seventh-seeded Zvonareva ousted Dinara Safina 6-2, 7-6 (7-5).

Marat Safin, the brother of Dinara, advanced to his second final at his hometown event when Misha Zverev withdrew from his first career ATP Tour semifinal because of illness.

Safin, who lost to Nikolay Davydenko in the 2006 final, will face Igor Kunitsyn. Unseeded Kunitsyn defeated Fabrice Santoro 6-4, 6-3 to reach his first ATP Tour final.
