Kyrie Irving will keep rehabbing his right shoulder in hopes of rejoining the Brooklyn Nets this season, though he acknowledged that he may need surgery. Irving said Saturday he chose to get a cortisone shot last month instead of having arthroscopic surgery, with the goal of playing for the first time since the middle of November. He said his shoulder problem began with overuse in training camp. Irving hasn’t played since Nov. 14. The Nets described his injury as an impingement. Irving, who said he also had bursitis in the shoulder, said surgery would knock him out for at least a couple of months . . . Paul George did not play for the host Los Angeles Clippers in their 140-114 loss to the Grizzlies because of left hamstring tightness . . .

Djokovic delivers for Serbia in ATP Cup
Novak Djokovic got more than he bargained for in his first competitive match of 2020 before fending off Kevin Anderson, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (8-6), to secure Serbia’s win over South Africa in Group A at the ATP Cup in Brisbane, Australia. Top-ranked Rafael Nadal had an easier time clinching Spain’s win over Georgia, beating Nikoloz Basilashvili, 6-3, 7-5, in Perth after Roberto Bautista Agut crushed No. 678-ranked Aleksandre Metreveli, 6-0, 6-0. But No. 4 Dominic Thiem went down in an upset to Bornic Coric, who clinched Croatia’s win over Austria with a 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, 6-3 win in Sydney. The 10-day, 24-team tournament ends with the final in Sydney Jan. 12, leaving players time to fine-tune for the Australian Open in Melbourne.
