The women’s tournament is already underway, and the buzz in the Olympic village is the norovirus that appears to be making its way through the teams. Finland had to postpone the start of its games, as several of its players went into isolation to start the tournament. The Finns opened the games against the U.S. women on Feb. 7 and promptly lost 5-0, potentially feeling some of the after effects of the illness.
Then there’s the Swiss, who also had several of its players placed in isolation...

In many ways, it didn’t seem like Saturday would be the Portland Trail Blazers’ night against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Los Angeles Kings didn't sit around and wait until the trade deadline to pull off a massive move, acquiring Artemi Panarin. He reportedly only wanted to go to LA and was willing to sign there, which he did. This adds much-needed offense to the team and keeps them in contention for a few more years, whether Anze Kopitar retires or not. But since the team's top centerman is retiring after the season, the Kings are going to have to address that as well. But there could be a solution that fits...
