ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Blues are bringing in 37-year-old forward Milan Lucic, who last played in 2023, for a tryout.
Lucic was a member of the Boston Bruins' 2011 Stanley Cup championship team who also played for the Kings, Oilers and Flames before returning to the Bruins in 2023. He had two assists in four games that year before he took a puck off his ankle and went on long-term injured reserve.

Nick Kyrgios withdraws from the US Open and will miss another major tournament

NEW YORK (AP) — Nick Kyrgios withdrew from the U.S. Open on Thursday, the third straight year the Australian has missed the last Grand Slam tournament of the season. Kyrgios has battled injuries in recent years and had missed most of the 2023 and 2024 seasons before trying to return this year. After undergoing wrist and knee surgeries, he came back to play in the Australian Open, but lost in the first round. That was his first appearance in any major tournament since the 2022 U.S. Open. Kyrgios had his best performance in a Grand Slam event just before that, losing to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final. Once ranked No. 13, he has played in just five singles matches on the ATP Tour this season, none since Miami in March. He will be replaced in the tournament by a player who loses in the final stages of qualifying. ___ AP tennis:

French cyclist Bonnamour banned 4 years for suspected blood doping

AIGLE, Switzerland (AP) — French cyclist Franck Bonnamour was banned on Thursday for four years, based on analysis of his blood values without a positive doping test. The International Cycling Union said the 30-year-old rider's ban, imposed by an independent tribunal, expires in February 2028. He announced his retirement last year during the investigation. Bonnamour's career highlight came at the 2021 Tour de France, winning the prize as the overall most combative rider. The UCI said his athlete biological passport, which can be used to detect signs of doping over time, showed abnormal readings in 2022. Bonnamour also completed the Tour that year. ___ AP sports:

Humpy Wheeler, the ‘P.T. Barnum of motorsports,' dies at 86

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Humpy Wheeler, a pioneering motorsports promoter and former president and general manager of Charlotte Motor Speedway, has died, NASCAR said. He was 86. Charlotte Motor Speedway said Wheeler died Wednesday of natural causes surrounded by his family. 'Humpy Wheeler was a visionary whose name became synonymous with promotion and innovation in our sport,' said NASCAR chairman Jim France. 'During his decades leading Charlotte Motor Speedway, Humpy transformed the fan experience through his creativity, bold ideas and tireless passion. His efforts helped expand NASCAR's national footprint, cement Charlotte as a must-visit racing and entertainment complex.' Howard Augustine Wheeler Jr. was born in 1938 in Belmont and gained his first major publicity job with Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. He held several other positions after Firestone shut down its racing program in 1970 and was hired at Charlotte Motor Speedway by owner Bruton Smith as president in 1975. He became a transformative figure in promoting racing and was known as the 'P.T. Barnum of motorsports' for flashy pre-race stunts, elaborate productions and sparing no expense in ensuring fans had the most enjoyable experience possible at his events. Wheeler earlier this year was named winner of NASCAR's prestigious Landmark Award for Outstanding Contributions to NASCAR, to which he'd have been inducted into the Hall of Fame next year.
