Giants' No. 1 pick likely out months

That week he held out will seem short to Prince Amukamara now that he'll likely miss two months because of a broken foot suffered Saturday night.

Amukamara, a cornerback who was the top pick of the New York Giants last spring, is expected to have surgery to insert a screw into his left foot. He was injured in his second practice, the day after he signed a four-year, $8.1 million contract and reported to camp.

"I've never broken a bone before and never had surgery before," Amukamara said Sunday. "It's just a little bit of adversity that I'm going to have to deal with. I'm really down on myself right now. I feel like I let the team and myself down."

Hawks sold but won't exit AtlantaThe Hawks and Philips Arena will be sold to a Californian, but the team won't depart Atlanta the way the Thrashers of the NHL did.

Developer and pizza chain owner Alex Meruelo will buy the team from an ownership group led by Michael Gearon Jr. and Bruce Levenson, who also owned the Thrashers before a sale that led to a move to Winnipeg.

Gearon cried when he revealed the sale of the Thrashers because of the likelihood the team would depart Atlanta, but two sources with knowledge of the Hawks deal said there was no such threat with Meruelo. Meruelo, the son of Cuban immigrants, will become the first Hispanic majority in the NBA.
