DETROIT -- Cade Cunningham scored 40 points a day after being selected as an All-Star reserve, helping the Detroit Pistons beat the Dallas Mavericks 117-102 on Friday night.

Cunningham matched a season high for points on 17-of-30 shooting. He added six rebounds and four assists while falling three points shy of his career-best 43 points.

Cunningham outscored his teammates 16-15 in the third quarter, including eight points in the final 2:42.

Friday's 40-point effort capped a stellar January for Cunningham, who scored at least 30 points in eight games. It also marked his fifth game of at least 35 points this season, exceeding the total from his three previous NBA seasons combined.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, Cunningham, 23, is averaging career bests in scoring (25.3 points), assists (9.3), rebounds (6.4) and steals (1.2).

Tobias Harris added 17 points and Jalen Duren had 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Pistons, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

Kyrie Irving led Dallas with 28 points. P.J. Washington had 22 points and 13 rebounds.

After the Mavericks cut the lead to 93-91 with 10:13 left, the Pistons responded with a 10-2 run with Cunningham on the bench.

SEATTLE -- Seattle Kraken center Yanni Gourde was expected to be out five to seven weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia.

General manager Ron Francis provided the medical update on Gourde on Friday, hours after the surgery took place in the morning.

That recovery timeframe risks the possibility that Gourde will not play before the NHL trade deadline on March 7. With the Kraken barely on the fringe of the playoff race in the Western Conference and given that Gourde is a pending free agent, he was expected to be one of the top trade options for contenders looking to add at the deadline.

Gourde, 33, has 83 games of playoff experience in the league, including back-to-back Stanley Cup runs with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 and '21 before Seattle chose him in the expansion draft. A dependable two-way player, Gourde is skating an average of more than 15 minutes over 35 games this season and has six goals and 10 assists.

TRENDING RUMORS

- Manchester United have received an enquiry from Tottenham Hotspur regarding winger Alejandro Garnacho, reports Daily Mail. Spurs are believed to be keen on a loan for the 20-year-old, with talks expected to continue between both clubs over a potential deal. Chelsea and Napoli have been linked with interest in a permanent move for Garnacho, who the Red Devils would reportedly let go for an offer in the region of 60 million.

- The representative of Chelsea forward João Félix is exploring a potential move to AC Milan, reports Nicolo Schira. Agent Jorge Mendes is said to be in Italy discussing a loan move to the San Siro for the 25-year-old, who according to Sky Sports Deutschland, is also on the radar of Aston Villa as a potential replacement for Jhon Durán. Felix has made just three starts for the Blues in the Premier League this season.

- An approach for Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez has been made by Manchester City, says Fabrizio Romano. Negotiations are reported to be underway between both clubs, and while the Liga Portugal side would prefer to keep the 23-year-old, he could be signed if Man City activate the 60 million release clause in his current deal. Gonzalez joined the Dragoes from Barcelona, who are in line to receive 40% of any future transfer fee.

- Manchester United are interested in a move for on-loan VfB Stuttgart striker El Bilal Toure, according to Foot Mercato. The Red Devils are reported to have "accelerated" in their pursuit of the 23-year-old who is on loan from Atalanta, and it is said that there could be a three-way deal situation emerging in which the Bundesliga club would make his loan become permanent for 18 million before moving him on to Old Trafford.

- An agreement has been reached between Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan for centre-back Fikayo Tomori, reports Gianluca Di Marzio. An initial 25 million plus 5 million in bonuses is reported to have been agreed for the 27-year-old, and he is set to consider his future and a potential return to the Premier League after initially wanting to remain in Italy.

The transfer window is open across Europe as clubs look to do some midseason business. But what are ESPN's reporters hearing about possible deals?

Every Friday in January, we'll bring you the latest updates and insights on the biggest transfer news.

Will Christopher Nkunku be at Chelsea on Feb. 4?

Nkunku is determined to leave Chelsea in the next few days. The France international forward is not happy about being a fringe player for Enzo Maresca's team, where he features mostly as a starter in the UEFA Conference League. He has told the Blues' hierarchy that he wants to find a new project, and the club are not against letting him leave if their valuation is matched. However, they want to recoup the 60m they spent to sign him from RB Leipzig just 18 months ago.

The former PSG player would be happy to stay in England or go back to Germany. And sources said that Manchester United have asked to be kept informed of developments in case Alejandro Garnacho departs. -- Julien Laurens

Meanwhile, Chelsea are close to reaching an agreement to sign 16-year-old Corinthians left-back Denner, but due to FIFA rules, he could only make the transfer to England after he turns 18. -- ESPN Brasil

Could one of Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United, Tottenham or Villa land a late move for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel?

Yes. Bayern Munich director Max Eberl has confirmed that the 19-year-old Tel wants to leave and said: "I've rarely had so many clubs call me about a player before." But although Chelsea have made a lot of the early running, Tottenham feel they have an opportunity to win the race by offering a clearer path to regular first-team football and had a 60m offer accepted on Thursday night. The player has yet to make a decision though and personal terms have not been reached.

Sources said that Manchester United, Aston Villa and Ligue 1 side Marseille are also interested -- although United must focus on outgoings first -- while it remains unclear if Arsenal pivot away from their pursuit of Villa striker Ollie Watkins. If they do, Tel will be one alternative. -- James Olley

After telling Bayern that he wanted to stay, Tel has changed his mind and has opened the door to a departure before the deadline as he has become frustrated by his lack of game time this season. Bayern want 60m for a permanent deal but are hoping that a bidding war breaks out between interested clubs; Tel wants to move to England and join a team where he will play regularly -- ideally one that is in the Champions League.

Currently, Tottenham are leading the way but are not in a strong position considering their poor league performance. United have been in talks with Bayern and Tel's agent for two days, but the club has to find an exit for Marcus Rashford first, and time is running out.

Tel could be Arsenal's second option if they don't manage to sign Watkins, while, as James says, Chelsea were the first club to get in touch about the player early in this transfer window and could yet move if Nkunku is allowed to depart. -- Laurens

Which players could leave Man United before the deadline?

Man United would consider offers to sign midfielder Christian Eriksen and defender Victor Lindelöf before the deadline, but that's optimistic because they will both be free agents this summer. Casemiro, 32, is available, and United are willing to sanction a straight loan while paying a portion of his wages. However, the Brazilian hasn't shown much desire to go this month, and he already rejected a move to Roma, which means it would take a good offer to get things moving.

Young striker Rasmus Højlund is another interesting situation. He's not playing well, but many clubs are looking for a striker on loan. United, however, could not afford to let Antony (who has already signed for Real Betis on loan), Rashford and Højlund leave without bringing in a replacement. -- Rob Dawson

And what about Rashford?

Man United want him out and Rashford wants to play, but this has now become a game of poker. Will United drop their financial demands or will Rashford agree to take a pay cut to move to another club? It's likely either will need to happen if he's going to go before the deadline.

It's possible that this one will go right to the wire on Monday. Which side is going to blink first? -- Dawson

Is Man City's business over for January?

They hope not. The possibility that midfielder Douglas Luiz could be allowed to leave Juventus has got City boss Pep Guardiola and sporting director Txiki Begiristain interested. City would be keen on a loan for Luiz -- who used to play for the club 2017-19, but he didn't make a first-team appearance until the end of the season with an option to make it permanent. Juventus have suggested they want a permanent move now or an obligation to sign permanently in the summer.

As right-back Kyle Walker has left for Milan, there's also interest in Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso, whose transfer is valued at around 80m, but that might have to wait until the summer.

One thing that could be of interest is the fact that Al Nassr have a delegation based in London ahead of the SPL deadline on Friday night and one of the players being discussed is City midfielder Mateo Kovacic. As of Thursday evening, City had yet to receive contact from the Saudi club, r but informal enquiries have been made to Kovacic's representatives. It's a hard deal to do but one to keep an eye on. -- Dawson

James McAtee is likely to stay at City this month because the club is unable to loan him out of the country. City have already used their full allocation of six loans and cannot sanction another, so unless Bayer Leverkusen are prepared to make a significant offer to sign him permanently rather than on loan, he will be staying at the Etihad. -- Mark Ogden

Tottenham are struggling in the league, will they sign anyone?

Ange Postecoglou certainly wants them to, but oddly, that is part of the problem. Postecoglou has a very specific style of play and wants players to fit that system, but the 59-year-old is under mounting pressure after a dismal run of results has left Spurs in 15th place in the Premier League. So do Spurs back a manager they may have to sack in the coming weeks? Or do they hedge their bets in the final few days of the window, either keeping their powder dry as players return from injury or sign a player the club feels is better suited to their future plans with one eye on life after Postecoglou? Either way, there is surely a consensus that the forward line needs strengthening and they've had that 60m bid for Tel accepted, although it remains to be seen if he wants to move to Spurs.

Central midfield has long needed more guile, hence the interest in Lille's Angel Gomes. Chairman Daniel Levy has long held a reputation for doing business late in the window, and here we are again. -- Olley

With only six months remaining on his contract at Lille, Gomes is attracting a lot of interest from the Premier League. At 24, the former Manchester United academy graduate wants to come home. He has been great with Lille in the last four seasons, playing in the Champions League and making his England debut. Tottenham are keen to sign him, like West Ham and Everton, but this one is probably more for the summer transfer window than the final days of January. -- Laurens

Any other interesting deals in the works?

- Brighton striker Evan Ferguson is the subject of interest from Bournemouth, West Ham, Everton and Bayer Leverkusen heading into the final days of the transfer window, with sources telling ESPN that the Republic of Ireland international could yet leave the Amex Stadium in a permanent deal. Sources said that a move to German Bundesliga would appeal to the 20-year-old, due to the success of a number of young players doing the same in recent years, but Brighton are open to a loan or a permanent transfer. -- Ogden

- Chelsea defender Axel Disasi wants to go to Aston Villa and the club has received an offer for a loan with no option to sign permanently. The discussions are continuing, but all parties are optimistic a deal will happen. -- Laurens

- Newcastle United have been looking closely at Real Sociedad winger Take Kubo, but the Spanish club won't let him leave this month. -- Rodri Faez

- Atlanta United is closing in on the acquisition of Middlesbrough striker Latte Lath, and is prepared to break the record for an incoming transfer to MLS in order to get the $22m (plus add-ons) deal over the line. -- Jeff Carlisle

- Former U.S. international forward Matthew Hoppe is set to sign with Danish side Sonderskjye, a source has confirmed to ESPN after Transfermarkt initially broke the news. Capped eight times for the U.S., Hoppe had been on the books of English Championship side Middlesbrough, but had his contract terminated by mutual consent earlier this month. -- Carlisle

- Napoli want to sign PSV Eindhoven forward Noa Lang. The Italian club have offered a fee of 25m, but PSV do not want to let the 25-year-old go and instead are looking to bring in a left-back themselves, following Matteo Dams' departure to the United Arab Emirates. -- ESPN NL

- Feyenoord do not want to let Mexico striker Santiago Giménez leave the club this month. But AC Milan are interested and are reported to be preparing a 35m offer for the 23-year-old. -- ESPN NL

- Ajax are looking to bring in a left winger, but they might already have the perfect option. Carlos Forbs, who is on loan at Wolves and has made just one start and nine appearances overall in the Premier League, is in talks over an early return to Amsterdam. -- ESPN NL

- Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo, who has previously played for Liverpool, Barcelona and Fiorentina, is one of the main targets for Santos after they announced the return of Neymar, but is set to move to Girona. -- ESPN Brasi

- Botafogo and Cruzeiro are both looking to hire a new coach. For Botafogo, Vasco Matos (Santa Clara) is an option, while there have been rumors about former Barcelona and Inter Miami boss Gerardo Martino and ex-Liverpool and Real Madrid coach Rafael Benítez that have not advanced. For Cruzeiro, Renato Gaúcho (formerly of Grêmio) has been tipped to replace Fernando Diniz. -- ESPN Brasil

- Flamengo are trying to reach an agreement to sign Arsenal midfielder Jorginho, after closing a move for Juventus defender Danilo. -- ESPN Brasil

- Palmeiras striker Rony has seen a move to Qatari side Al Rayyan collapse, while Palmeiras have not given up on the signing of Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira and will wait until Monday's deadline day before restarting negotiations. -- ESPN Brasil

Sources told ESPN there is interest in Marseille goalkeeper Pau López, who is on loan at Girona of Spain. -- Adriana Maldonado, ESPN Deportes

The Vancouver Canucks rocked the NHL with another Friday night blockbuster, trading forward J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers for forward Filip Chytil, defenseman Victor Mancini and a 2025 first-round draft pick.

Defensemen Erik Brannstrom and Jackson Dorrington were also part of the package with Miller to New York. The Rangers' draft selection is top-13 protected; it becomes an unprotected 2026 first-round pick should the choice be that high.

Miller also waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the deal, which the Canucks and Rangers had been working on for weeks. The Canucks nearly held Miller out of a game against Edmonton earlier this month with a trade percolating between the two sides, but it fell through.

Now Miller is headed back to the Rangers, who drafted him 15th overall in 2011. He suited up for New York from 2012-18 before they traded him to Tampa. Miller joined the Canucks ahead of their 2019-20 season and inked a seven-year, $56 million extension with Vancouver that began in 2023-24. He leaves the Canucks as their second-leading scorer on the season with nine goals and 35 points.

It won't be long now before fans see Miller back with the Blueshirts -- he's expected to be in the lineup when they face Boston on Saturday afternoon, and New York could use the help. The Rangers shockingly slipped out of playoff contention in the season's first half but are now just five points back of an Eastern Conference wild-card spot.

The trade had to be a relief for Miller, who had been the subject of trade talks well before the rumor mill heated up earlier this month about him potentially landing back with the Rangers. The previous extension seemed to quell some of that momentum, but recently it felt increasingly inevitable Miller would be headed out of town.

The trade materialized just days after Canucks president Jim Rutherford confirmed reports that Miller clashed with Vancouver's star center, Elias Pettersson. Miller and Pettersson had repeatedly denied rumors of strife, but Rutherford told The Globe and Mail on Tuesday that the tension between two of the Canucks most important players was real and hinted changes were imminent.

"I felt like for a long time that there was a solution here because everybody has worked on it, including the parties involved," Rutherford told the outlet. "But it only gets resolved for a short period of time and then it festers again, and so it certainly appears like there's no good solution that would keep this group together."

Rutherford's decision to corroborate those reports went against what Canucks GM Patrik Allvin said during his midseason media availability, that it was "unfortunate" how those types of rumors had been impacting his team.

"I'm proud of the guys they're capable of blocking a lot of noise out and just go out and play," Allvin said then. "We want to create an environment where they feel safe and trusted. The players have galvanized and played extremely well under the circumstances."

Chytil, a promising former first-round pick, has been slowed by injuries throughout his career and has 11 goals and 20 points in 41 games this season. The 25-year-old is likely to benefit from a fresh start -- when healthy, he can be a reliable middle-six forward in Vancouver's offense. The Canucks have struggled of late and sit one point back of a wild card spot in the Western Conference.

In the next big domino to fall in WNBA free agency, 2020 No. 2 overall pick Satou Sabally is headed to the Phoenix Mercury from the Dallas Wings in a three-team trade, sources told ESPN on Friday.

The Wings are set to receive point guard Ty Harris and the rights to Kiki Herbert Harrigan from Phoenix, as well as 2022 No. 2 overall pick NaLyssa Smith and the 2025 No. 8 pick from the Indiana Fever. Indiana will acquire guard Sophie Cunningham and the 2025 No. 19 pick from Phoenix, which will also receive center Kalani Brown and the rights to point guard Sevgi Uzun from Dallas.

Because Dallas gave her the core player designation, Sabally's exit had to be via a trade. As it involves a sign-and-trade, the transaction can't become official until Feb. 1, when contracts are first allowed to be executed.

One of the biggest free agents on the market, Sabally made her desire to leave Dallas known ahead of free agency, telling reporters during a news conference for Unviralved that she had played her last game in a Wings uniform.

Sources told ESPN that Sabally's biggest criteria for a new team was "great organization infrastructure" with top-tier practice facilities and resources.

Sabally didn't hide this desire.

"What type of resources do they have? How important is their team to the owner? If you have an owner of a team that doesn't prioritize the women's team...That's a place where I will be less likely to go," Sabally said before the launch of Unrivaled.

The Mercury have doubled down on player resources under new owner Mat Ishbia, last summer unveiling a dedicated $100 million practice facility for the team in downtown Phoenix.

The Mercury have undergone dramatic changes on the court, even before the Sabally trade was finalized. Phoenix traded for Alyssa Thomas, sending to Connecticut Natasha Cloud and Bec Allen, while seeing 10-time All-Star and franchise stalwart Brittney Griner depart for Atlanta as a free agent. Mercury legend Diana Taurasi could also be gone in 2025 should she choose to retire.

The Mercury compiled a new-look super team last season with the acquisitions of Kahleah Copper, Cloud and Allen, but were hampered by injuries and were swept in the first round of the playoffs.

Sabally joins the organization two years removed from earning 2023 Most Improved Player and her first all-WNBA first team nod. She missed most of the 2024 season for the Wings due to a shoulder injury, but did suit up for the German national team to help them to a quarterfinal finish in the Paris Olympics. She averaged 17.9 points, 5.0 assists and 6.4 rebounds per contest in 15 games across 2024.

Sabally, who also considered the New York Liberty as her next team, had played her entire career with the Wings after being drafted in the 2020 lottery out of Oregon.

Smith spent her first three seasons in the league in Indiana, averaging 13.0 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. Cunningham was a 2019 second-round draft pick for the Mercury who averaged 7.7 points per game during her time in Phoenix.

ESPN's Josh Weinfuss contributed to this report.

FRISCO, Texas -- While Brian Schottenheimer will call plays in his first year as the Dallas Cowboys' coach, he has hired his offensive coordinator in former Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach Klayton Adams.

Adams, 41, spent the past two seasons in that role for the Cardinals and is well regarded across the league for his run game. The Cardinals had the seventh-ranked run game in the NFL last year (144.2 yards per game) and were second in yards per carry (5.3).

James Conner had 1,094 yards and eight rushing touchdowns for Arizona in 2024. The Cowboys were led by Rico Dowdle, who is set to be an unrestricted free agent, with 1,079 yards and just two touchdowns. The Cowboys had only six rushing touchdowns on the season.

The Cowboys are expected to hire an offensive line coach in addition to having Adams.

Before joining Arizona, Adams spent four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, working with the tight ends and serving as an assistant offensive line coach.

In addition to Adams, the Cowboys also interviewed Detroit Lions running backs coach Scottie Montgomery and Atlanta Falcons tight ends coach Kevin Koger. They also had talks with former Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.

Schottenheimer has filled all of his coordinator slots with Adams, defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen. In addition to offensive line, the Cowboys have openings at running back and wide receiver.

The team interviewed New Orleans running backs coach Derrick Foster on Thursday, according to a source.

NEW YORK -- Free agent pitcher Jeison Pena was suspended for 80 games on Friday under baseball's minor league drug program and Colorado Rockies pitcher Ulises Reyes for 56 games under the program for minor leaguers assigned outside of the United States and Canada.

Both tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Stanozolol, the commissioner's office said Friday.

Pena, a 22-year-old right-hander, signed with Milwaukee in 2020 and spent the last two seasons at Class A Carolina. He was 3-1 with a 5.02 ERA in 30 relief appearances last year and was released on Oct. 8.

Reyes, a 19-year-old right-hander, signed with Colorado in December 2023 for a $15,000 bonus and went 1-0 with a 7.00 ERA in 15 relief appearances last year for the Dominican Summer League Rockies.

The pair were the first minor leaguers suspended this year for positive drug tests. Twenty players were suspended last year for positive drug tests, including nine under the minor league program and nine under the program for minor league players assigned outside the U.S. and Canada.

Two players were suspended last year under the major league drug program. Noelvi Marté, a 22-year-old infielder who was considered Cincinnati's top prospect, missed the first 80 games following a positive test for boldenone. Toronto infielder Orelvis Martínez was suspended for 80 games on June 23 following a positive test for the performance-enhancing drug clomiphene, an announcement made two days after his major league debut.

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras agreed Friday to a one-year contract guaranteeing $6.1 million, avoiding an arbitration hearing.

A two-time All-Star, Contreras had asked for $6.5 million and had been offered $5.6 million when proposed figures were exchanged.

His deal with the reigning NL Central champions includes a team option for 2026.

Contreras, 27, batted .281 with a .365 on-base percentage, 23 homers and 92 RBIs in 155 games last season and was an All-Star for the second time in three seasons. He hit .289 in 2023 with a .367 on-base percentage, 17 homers and 78 RBIs in 141 games.

The Milwaukee chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America selected Contreras as the Brewers' most valuable player in each of the past two seasons. The Brewers acquired him from the Atlanta Braves after a 2022 season.
