IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa point guard Jordan Bohannon is out indefinitely with a hip injury. It could put his senior season in jeopardy. The Hawkeyes say Bohannon suffered the injury last year and he hoped rest and rehab work would solve the problem. He will have surgery this week. Bohannon ranked third on the team with 11.6 points per game last season.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Brett Moffitt capped a storybook season by winning the NASCAR Truck Series championship in November. He found himself out of a job anyway, as he lost his ride because of funding concerns. It wasn’t too long before he signed with GMS Racing in time for the 2019 season.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The opener of the I-70 series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals was postponed because of a forecast for severe weather and rescheduled as part of a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday. The National Weather Service said there was a “threat for severe thunderstorms producing tornadoes, strong winds, large hail, and additional flash flooding.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — One of the former skating partners of two-time U.S. pairs champion John Coughlin has accused him in a series of social media posts of sexually assaulting her over a two-year period. Bridget Namiotka says Coughlin, who killed himself in January, hurt “at least 10 people including me.” She skated with Coughlin from 2004, when she was 14, through the 2007 season.
