WASHINGTON -- With John Wall sitting out the second game of a back-to-back on Saturday night, part of an effort to ease the All-Star point guards return from offseason surgery on each knee, the Washington Wizards will be counting on Bradley Beal to lead them.Beal just wants to make sure he doesnt try to do too much in Walls absence.What the Wizards and Beal would love to see is the same sort of go-to-the-basket style he displayed while scoring 20 of his 28 points after halftime Friday night, helping Washington give new coach Scott Brooks his first victory with the team, 95-92 over the Atlanta Hawks.The key Saturday at the Orlando Magic, Beal said, will be for him to not feel like Ive got to take over and do everything.Beal averaged only 14 points during Washingtons 0-3 start, never getting more than 15, and Brooks said before facing Atlanta he considered that his fault for not giving his young shooting guard enough opportunities.Hes going to have a breakout game sooner or later, Brooks said, nearly 2 hours before tipoff. Hopefully its tonight.How prescient.Before an announced crowd of only 14,663 -- nearly 5,000 fewer people than were at Wednesdays home opener against Toronto -- Beal made 13 of 14 free throws.He was attacking, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. Hes such a great shooter that you have to take that away. He may have just been more aggressive at getting to the rim.Atlanta cut the deficit to 95-92 and inbounded the ball after a timeout with 11.7 seconds left, but Kyle Korver missed a 3-point try with 3.6 seconds left with Markieff Morris in his face.Wall had 21 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, now just four assists shy of breaking Hall of Fame center Wes Unselds franchise career mark.But that will have to wait until at least Monday, when Washington hosts the Houston Rockets.Part of his rehab plan was to be real cognizant of his minutes, Brooks said. He might not play in the first few second games of back-to-back nights, the coach added, explaining: Thats all fluid.Brooks deflected a question about whether rookie Tomas Satoransky would start Saturday in Walls place, but did say, Theres a good chance.Wall said hell spend his day off doing some of the same rehab work he did during the offseason and joked about the game at Orlando: I might be the head coach.Its just something I have to do if I want to play a long career in this league, Wall said. Coach believes in me and my teammates understand what I have to go through. When Im out there, Im going to give 110 percent effort.TIP-INSHawks: Korver finished 1 for 9 from the field, including 1 for 6 on 3s. ...

While being a professional MMA fighter likely has many perks, having to cut weight is definitely not one of them. And no one knows this better than Cris Cyborg Justino.The UFC star, who will be facing Lina Lansberg on Saturday in Brazil, needs to weigh in on Friday at 140 pounds. However, on Monday, she told MMAFighting.com she was currently at 165 pounds, and, per FOX Sports, she had only lost another five pounds by Tuesday.As 140 is nowhere near Cyborgs normal weight - and she typically fights at 145 - the process has clearly been a struggle. As a result, she brought in noted nutritionist George Lockhart to help. And, in an extremely candid video blog, Cyborg and Lockhart can be seen arguing over the birth control pillls he put her on.ddddddddddddShe believes they are making it harder for her to lose weight, as well as causing her to lose strength, muscle and aggressiveness. Lockhart disagrees, and the conversation makes for a compelling - if not, somewhat troubling - video.While it remains to be seen if Cyborg will lose the necessary weight by Friday, this will hopefully start the much-needed discussion about the health of fighters and the extreme lengths they will go to make weight.See something entertaining on social media that you think deserves to be shared?
