GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Derrick Rose apparently isnt worried about a potential rape trial, and neither are the New York Knicks.President of Basketball Operations Phil Jackson said Friday that the Knicks dont expect Roses season to be affected, but wont say if he might miss any games because of the trial that would begin in California exactly three weeks before the official Oct. 25 opener.Were just going to let the process work itself out, Jackson said during a news conference at the teams practice facility.Were not concerned. We understand this is a serious subject were talking about, but this has to be done outside of our control. Its something we cant control, Jackson said. So Derrick has expressed that hes not concerned about it. I mean hes quite aware of it, but its not keeping him up at night, so well leave it at that.A woman sued Rose last year, claiming the former MVP and two of his friends raped her in August 2013 while she was incapacitated after a night of drinking. Rose and the others deny her claims and contend they had consensual sex with her that night.Rose would not be required to attend the civil trial that is scheduled to begin Oct. 4, early in the NBA preseason. However, its expected he would be there for at least portions of it.We anticipate that it will not affect his season, hopefully, training camp or games, but were going to let the due process of the justice system work its way through in the next week and a half or so, Jackson said.The Knicks acquired Rose from the Chicago Bulls on the eve of the NBA draft in June. The point guard was the NBA MVP in 2011 but has battled injuries since, not appearing in more than 66 games in any season.But coach Jeff Hornacek said Rose is healthy and has looked quick in workouts.The one thing hes excited about going into this season playing-wise is that he feels hes been able to do a lot of things this summer to get himself ready for it, Hornacek said, mentioning yoga. Hes feeling that his body is good. Watching him play in some of the pickup games that theyve been playing, you see those spurts of quickness that he has.Rose was the biggest -- and likely riskiest -- move Jackson made this summer in trying to improve a team that went 32-50 last season and hasnt made the playoffs since Jackson was hired in March 2014. His injuries, mostly to his knees, have robbed him of some of the explosiveness that made him one of the leagues most dynamic players.His new backup, Brandon Jennings, missed nearly a full year after an Achilles injury before returning last December. New center Joakim Noah, Roses former teammate with the Bulls, managed just 4.3 points per game in 29 appearances last season because of a shoulder injury.But Jackson said the Knicks needed to take the risks, and general manager Steve Mills said no players will face any minute restrictions when training camp opens Tuesday.We see this as a team that has the potential of really being a good basketball club. The only thing thats going to compete with them being successful or not successful is the injury factor, Jackson said. The rest of it is pretty much, theyre going to be there.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney Nike Vapormax Plus Wholesale . -- Arizona raced out to a big lead and did not back off, hitting the accelerator instead.

CARSON, Calif. -- Hampered by a hurting hip, Marcos Maidana absorbed everything Josesito Lopez could throw at him for two rounds. When Maidana got his legs back under him, the Argentine brawler made sure Lopez didnt get another chance. Maidana stopped Lopez late in the sixth round of their welterweight bout Saturday night, finishing a tumultuous fight with a merciless rally for his third straight victory. Maidana (34-3, 31 KOs) absorbed ample punishment from Lopez in a back-and-forth meeting of two willing brawlers, with Lopez particularly dominating the third and fourth rounds after Maidana took a shot to the hip. But Maidana rallied and knocked down Lopez with an overhand right in the sixth, following it with a crushing right uppercut that left Lopez wobbly and glassy-eyed, forcing the stoppage. "My character and my guts got me this victory," Maidana said through a translator. "In the second round, he hit me in my hip, and it was like I was paralyzed. The pain lasted for two rounds, and thats when he landed the shots. But my desire to win got me through it. He underestimated my power, and I knew I could knock him out." Maidana has won five of his last six bouts, and this victory should set him up for a big-money fight against another welterweight star, or even fellow Argentine Lucas Matthysse in the future. Cubas Erislandy Lara also survived the first two knockdowns of his career and stopped Alfredo Angulo in the 10th round of a similarly entertaining 154-pound bout in front of a sellout crowd outdoors at Home Depot Center. Lara was knocked down in the fourth and ninth rounds by the brawling Angulo, but the former Cuban amateur star apparently broke Angulos orbital bone around his left eye while peppering him with dozens of big shots. Angulos face was reddened and badly damaged when he abruptly turned his back and walked to his corner in the 10th, in too much pain to continue. The ringside doctor sent Angulo to a hospital. The main event matched that bouts excitement and violence. Maidana came out with his usual aggression, knocking back Lopez in the first two rounds, but Lopez (30-6) replied with big combinations and more push in the third and fourth. Maidana went to the canvas in the fourth, but it was ruled a slip. Maidana rallied again in the fifth, and he finished the fight with Lopez trapped on the ropes when referee Lou Moret stepped in. "I felt like it was a premature stoppage," said Lopez, who has lost three of his last four bouts. "He hurt me a little, but were professionals, and we fight in situations like that. He stunned me with a good right hand, but I was not out of the fight." Lopez led 48-47 on two judges scorecards at the time of the stoppage, with Maidana leading 48-47 on the third. The biggest crowd in Home Depot Center history packed the outdoor stadium south of downtown Los Angeles, filling the site of several memorable brawls in recent years. Golden Boy promoter Richard Schaefer said the 8,629 fans surpassed the previous attendannce record for Israel Vazquezs third fight with Rafael Marquez on March 1, 2008.dddddddddddd Lopez was a popular second-tier fighter from nearby Riverside, Calif., until he caught a wave of success for the past year since his stunning upset victory over Victor Ortiz at Staples Center last June. Lopez, a late replacement for Andre Berto in the bout, broke Ortizs jaw and forced the former welterweight champion to quit on his stool after the ninth round. Lopez parlayed his self-described "Rocky moment" into a lucrative bout with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez last September in Las Vegas, giving a decent challenge to the 154-pound Mexican champion before getting stopped in the fifth round. Moving back down to a more comfortable weight, Lopez accepted a difficult matchup with Maidana, one of the sports most exciting fighters. Maidana, who also beat Ortiz in June 2009 to make his international name, defeated Mexican star Erik Morales and lost decisions to Amir Khan and Devon Alexander recently, cementing a spot among Argentinas top fighters with Sergio Martinez and Matthysse. Maidana has been with respected trainer Robert Garcia for more than a year, but still hasnt lost the instincts that made him an entertaining fighter. Even before Maidana and Lopez hit the ring, the show could have been stolen in the penultimate bout. Lara outboxed Angulo in the opening three rounds, picking him apart with left hands and short shots inside -- but Angulo abruptly changed the story in the fourth round when he knocked Lara to the canvas with a big left hand. Lara got up unsteadily, but recovered to survive the round. Although Lara fought a smarter, more efficient bout in the ensuing rounds, he went down again in the ninth when Angulo caught him with another left hand, punctuating the shot by standing over the fallen Lara. The Cuban got up -- and he finished the fight in the 10th with one last big combination to Angulos face with 1:10 left. Angulo absorbed the shots, but abruptly turned his back and walked to his corner while Lara celebrated the win. "I was still winning the fight, even when he knocked me down," Lara said through a translator. "I knew I was going to stop him in the later rounds. He caught me with good shots, (but) I fought too hard to get here, through shark-infested waters in Cuba, to let a few knockdowns get in my way. Angulo had good power, but I used my movement and stepped and slid around him and landed my big left hand." Lara led 85-84 on two judges scorecards at the time of the stoppage, and Angulo led 86-83 on the third card. The Associated Press also had Lara up 85-84. "I wanted to stand in front of him and give the fans a good fight," Lara said. "Thats when I got caught." Earlier, junior middleweight prospect Jermell Charlo kept his unblemished record with a narrow unanimous decision over Demetrius Hopkins, the nephew of Bernard Hopkins. The cautious technical bout didnt impress the sellout crowd, which booed both fighters.
