WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) — With acrobatics, skill and guise, raiders chanting “kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi” have been trying to elude defenders at the first Kabaddi World Cup to be held outside of Asia this week.
Men’s and women’s teams from nine countries have been taking part in the tournament in central England, where the finals were to take place on Sunday.
Kabaddi has likely been played in one form or another for some 4,000 years. Two teams of seven players line up opposite each other on a small court. One team attacks and the other defends.

“It’s important to clarify” – Fabrizio Romano opens up on Jadon Sancho future at Man United
Jadon Sancho, who is currently on loan from Manchester United to Chelsea, faces an uncertain future.
Although Chelsea have an obligation to buy the player from Man United, reports have surfaced claiming that the Blues have the option to break the clause of buying the player in a permanent move.

INDIANAPOLIS — For once in an insane week that has taxed the Pacers physically and mentally, they seemed on track to actually cruise through a fourth quarter, beat an opponent handily and not sweat out the final minute of a game.
They entered Saturday night’s fourth period with a 20-point lead over a Brooklyn Nets team with more organizational motivation to lose games than to win them with the draft lottery more likely in their future than even the play-in round.
