Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso will have surgery next week to repair his broken right wrist after he was taken down by Grayson Allen during the third quarter of Friday night’s 94-90 loss at Milwaukee. The team said Caruso will be evaluated in six to eight weeks. It’s another tough blow for Chicago after it announced Thursday that guard Lonzo Ball needs arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Caruso is averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 28 games in his first season with Chicago. Caruso was driving to the basket when a hard foul from Allen caused him to land on his right side. Caruso lay on the floor for a few minutes, though he stayed in the game to attempt the free throws that resulted from Allen’s flagrant-2 foul. Allen has been singled out for hard fouls before. He served a one-game suspension during the 2016-17 season while at Duke after tripping an opposing player for the third time in a calendar year. He was ejected from an NBA Summer League game in 2019 after committing two flagrant fouls.
Sofia Goggia captured her fourth win in five women’s World Cup downhills this season despite a mishap-filled run in which the Italian was all over the shortened Olympia delle Tofane course in her home country. Goggia is the overwhelming favorite to repeat as Olympic champion at next month’s Beijing Games. Overall World Cup leader Mikaela Shiffrin skipped the race, allowing Goggia to strengthen her third-place position in the standings. Shiffrin holds a narrow 37-point lead over Petra Vlhová, who also didn’t race, while Goggia now trails Shiffrin by 197 points . . . Dave Ryding became the first British winner in the 55-year history of the Alpine skiing World Cup, triumphing in one of the classic slaloms of the men’s circuit in Kitzbühel, Austria.

Mai Mihara won her second career women’s Four Continents figure skating title in a strong recovery from missing out on the Japanese team for the Winter Olympics, and Audrey Lu and Misha Mitrofanov took pairs gold for the United States. Mihara was near-flawless in the free skate with a program in Estonia, packed with triple jumps until she ran out of momentum on her final combination spin. It was still more than enough to keep her lead from the short program. Mihara scored a total 218.03 points to win a second Four Continents title after claiming the gold in 2017. Lu and Mitrofanov became the first US pair to win Four Continents gold since 2018 after recovering from Lu’s early fall on a triple toe loop to post 120.75 in the free skate for a total of 189.10.
