BALTIMORE (AP) — An NFL spokesman says the league will look into allegations that Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker behaved inappropriately toward massage therapists at four spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area.

The Baltimore Banner detailed the accusations in a lengthy report Thursday.

The paper said it spoke to six massage therapists who recounted firsthand experiences with Tucker from 2012 to 2016.

Several therapists said they ended Tucker’s sessions early or refused to work on him again, and management from two spas said they banned him from returning. Tucker posted a statement on social media calling the allegations about him in the Banner story “unequivocally false.”

By The Associated Press

Max Scherzer is joining the Toronto Blue Jays, agreeing to a 15.5 million, one-year contract, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced and was pending a physical.

The 40-year-old Scherzer was limited to nine starts with Texas last year, going 2-4 with a 3.95 ERA. The three-time Cy Young Award winner joins a rotation that is fronted by Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios and Chris Bassitt.

NBA LOOKS INTO TERRY ROZIER

MIAMI (AP) — Unusual betting patterns surrounding the play of then-Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier in a game nearly two years ago are now under investigation by federal prosecutors, part of the same probe that led to the lifetime ban of Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter, the NBA confirmed Thursday.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the investigation, noting that Rozier — who played for the Hornets on the date in question, and now plays for the Miami Heat — has not been charged with a crime, nor has he been accused of wrongdoing.

The NBA said it looked into the matter at the time and did not find that any league rules were broken. The 30-year-old Rozier is in the third year of a four-year, $96.3 million contract.

FEVER SET FOR CONTEST IN IOWA

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will be playing the Brazilian National Team this WNBA preseason at the University of Iowa.

The Fever announced the addition to their preseason schedule Thursday.

The game on May 4 will allow Clark to play as a pro at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, where she starred in college on her way to becoming the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA last spring.

Iowa is retiring Clark’s No. 22 on Sunday in honor of her finishing her college career as the all-time leading men’s or women’s scorer in NCAA Division I history.
