Lakers add to Davis deal to create cap space — The Lakers will have a new No. 23 next season, and now have the capability to sign a third superstar. According to people familiar with the deal, the Lakers have reworked the terms of the Anthony Davis trade to send Moe Wagner, Isaac Bonga and Jemerrio Jones to the Washington Wizards and have received a commitment from Davis to waive his trade kicker. The Wizards also will receive the Lakers’ 2022 second-round draft pick. Meanwhile, Davis received a little gift from his new teammate. LeBron James has agreed to give up the No. 23 jersey number he has worn for most of his NBA career to Davis. The moves agreed to on Thursday will earn the Lakers an extra $8 million in salary cap space. The Lakers are expected to have about $32 million to spend in free agency.

Georgian wins U.S. time trial championships — Ian Garrison knew that the heat wave in Tennessee could wreak havoc on the field at the U.S. time trial championships. The 21-year-old from Decatur, Georgia, finished in just over 42 minutes, 58 seconds on Thursday, making up a slight deficit to Neilsen Powless over the final lap. Garrison’s cushion wound up being 19 seconds over Powless, while George Simpson took bronze. Also, Amber Neben cruised to her third consecutive title in the women’s time trial, finishing in 30:19 to top Chloe Dygert Owen by 36 seconds. Leah Thomas finished third. Many of the biggest names in American cycling were absent in anticipation of a possible Tour de France start. That includes two-time and defending champion Joey Rosskopf, three-time winner Taylor Phinney and time-trial specialists such as Chad Haga and Brent Bookwalter.
