Nets Kidd trade sits in limbo hours before All-Star break
The proposed Kidd to Dallas trade stalls as Devean George weighs his Early Bird rights and blocks the deal. Nets and Mavericks lobby his reps while NBA offices close for All-Star weekend, with movement unlikely before Monday. If George yields, Devin Harris and others would join the Nets along with draft picks and cash in the two-team swap.

Bryant avoids surgery on torn right pinkie ligament
Kobe Bryant will not undergo surgery for a complete tear of the radial collateral ligament and avulsion fracture in his right pinkie. The Lakers star, diagnosed after dislocating the finger on Feb. 5 and aggravating it against Minnesota, plans rest to possibly compete at a high level after the Lakers season and the Olympic Games. It remains unclear if he plays in Sunday’s All-Star game in New Orleans, as he will skip the three point contest with Dirk Nowitzki replacing him.
