Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn signs a 1-year deal to stay with his only NHL team
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn has signed a one-year contract to stay with the only team he has played for in his 16 NHL seasons. 'Jamie embodies everything it means to be a Dallas Star, and has since he was drafted 18 years ago,' general manager Jim Nill said Thursday. The deal has a base salary of $1 million, plus an additional $3 million in potential performance bonuses. This past season was the end of Benn's $76 million, eight-year contract extension. "There was never a doubt that Jamie would return next season," Nill said. "We are thrilled for both our organization and our fans that he will continue to lead our team in our pursuit of winning a championship.' Hall of Fame center Mike Modano is the only player in franchise history with more than Benn's 1,192 regular-season games, 399 goals and 956 points. He has played in 120 postseason games. Benn, who turns 36 on July 18, had 16 goals and 33 assists in 80 regular-season games. It was the 13th time in his career to be over 40 points in a season, though he had only one goal and two assists in Dallas' 18 postseason games. The Stars have been to the Western Conference final three seasons in a row but haven't been to the Stanley Cup Final since 2020. Their only Stanley Cup title was in 1999. ___

Minnesota Timberwolves will make the first selection of the second round of the NBA draft
Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA draft resumes Thursday night with the Minnesota Timberwolves making the first selection of the second round. The draft picks up where it left off at Barclays Center in Brooklyn — though in a much smaller portion of it than was used Wednesday for the first round. The second round begins with the No. 31 pick and this year runs through No. 59 instead of 60, with the New York Knicks having been penalized their selection for tampering by negotiating with Jalen Brunson too soon before eventually signing the guard away from Dallas in 2022. The NBA points to the success of players such as Brunson, who became an All-NBA selection in New York, and three-time MVP Nikola Jokic of Denver when touting the types of difference-makers who could come out of the second round. The Mavericks, who selected Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick on Wednesday, do not currently have a selection in Round 2. The NBA began a two-night format for the draft last year after doing it one night ended too late. ___ AP NBA: recommended
