Derrick Rose to join Cavaliers on 1-year deal

Free agent Derrick Rose agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Rose, a former league MVP who has battled knee injuries, will get the veteran's minimum salary of $2.1 million.

Rose played for the New York Knicks last season and averaged 18 points and 4.4 assists. The 28-year-old's role with the Cavs is still to be determined. He could be used as a backup or start depending on what the team does with All-Star Kyrie Irving, who recently asked for a trade.

Rose met with Cleveland's front office Monday, when the team promoted Koby Altman to be their full-time general manger after he served as the interim GM since mid-June.

... The Spurs signed Pau Gasol to a three-year, $48 million contract. Gasol opted out of the two-year deal he signed last summer with the Spurs. But he always intended to re-sign with San Antonio, where he averaged 12.4 points and 7.8 rebounds in just over 25 minutes per game last season.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., who will retire from racing at the end of the 2017 NASCAR season, will join NBC's NASCAR coverage team next year, NBC Sports Group announced Monday.

"It is a tremendous honor not only to join NBC Sports next year but to begin a new career alongside people who love NASCAR as much as I do," Earnhardt said in a release. "To be reunited with Steve Letarte, to be able to call legends like Jeff Burton, Dale Jarrett and Kyle Petty, teammates rather than just friends, to be able to continue going to the track and connecting with race fans, it's a privilege I don't take lightly. I will devote my heart and soul to this broadcast team and pledge my very best to the millions who watch it."

Britain's Peaty romped to victory in the 100-meter breaststroke, while Sweden's Sjostrom just missed breaking her own world record in the 100 butterfly.

Peaty made the turn under his world-record pace from last summer's Rio Olympics but faded a bit on the return lap to touch in 57.47 seconds. The British star missed his mark of 57.13 yet still turned in the second-fastest time ever in the event.

Having already set a world record with her leadoff leg in the 4x100 freestyle relay, Sjostrom nearly took down another mark in the fly with a winning time of 55.53. That was just 0.05 seconds off the gold-medal triumph at Rio.
