D-LEAGUE: Nancy Lieberman is set to become the first female head coach of an NBA Development League team.
A news conference was scheduled for today to introduce Lieberman as the first coach of the team that will begin play during the 2010-11 season in Frisco, a suburb north of Dallas.
The Frisco team also will introduce Del Harris as its general manager and Spud Webb as president of basketball operations.
COURTS: Disgraced former NBA referee Tim Donaghy was a free man Wednesday after serving most of a 15-month sentence in a gambling scandal.
Pat Berdan , a consultant working with Donaghy, said he was released from Hernando County Jail in Florida.
A New York judge sentenced the ex-referee in July 2008 after Donaghy said he took money from a gambler in exchange for inside tips on games -- including those he worked.
PACERS: Troy Murphy missed Wednesday's game against New York with a bruised lower back, leaving winless Indiana without its leading rebounder.
SUNS: Played Wednesday night without Leandro Barbosa , who has battled a sore right wrist since the summer. Barbosa played in the Suns' first three games but has missed the past two.
MAGIC: Vince Carter was sidelined against the Suns on Wednesday with a sprained left ankle. He is day to day.
KINGS: Signed swingman Ime Udoka to a contract. The team did not release terms of the deal.
