"Joel will be unable to participate in any addi- tional workouts, and will not attend the draft in New York," agent Arn Tel- lem said. Embiid already had some health questions, mostly regarding a balky back that affected him to- ward the end of his final college season with Kan- sas. Now he's had foot sur- gery and could be out for up to six months, likely ending his rookie season before it starts. His situation could turn out to be similar to what former Kentucky star Ner- lens Noel faced this past season. Noel was recover- ing from a torn knee liga- ment, an injury that ended his college career and quite probably cost him a chance to be the No. 1 pick. De- spite the injury, he was still drafted No. 6 by New Orleans and traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. There's no shortage of big men who have buckled under the weight of big ex- pectations. Ellison was the No. 1 pick in 1989, got injured as a rookie and basically had only one great season as a pro. Kent Benson, the No. 1 pick in 1977, aver- aged 9.1 points per game in his career. Hasheem Thabeet was the No. 2 pick in 2009; he's averaged 2.2 points per game since. Olowokandi was an enor- mous bust at No. 1, slog- ging through an injury- plagued career and never averaging more than 12.3 points in a season. And Michael Jordan will forever be tied to per- haps the two biggest big- man draft blunders: He was picked one spot after Sam Bowie went at No. 2 to Portland in 1984, and Jordan wound up tak- ing Brown first overall in 2001. For as much as Bow- ie's career was derailed by injuries — and for as much as he was a punch line for years — he still scored 1,529 more NBA points than Brown did, despite playing 96 fewer games. "When was the last time there was a great big?" Mi- ami Heat President Pat Riley said last week. "An- thony Davis is a power for- ward. He's quite a talent. So there's a few guys that have made it but find the 7-foot centers, the proto- type center. I haven't seen one of those guys out there for a long time." Curse FROM PAGE 1 he's been at ease, pausing less than two hours before Monday's match to oblige a fan's request to pose for a selfie. "I always say the buildup to the tourna- ment is the hardest part. Once the tournament starts, it's fine," said the third-seeded Murray, whose other Grand Slam title came at the 2012 U.S. Open. "I mean, I say it ev- ery year. I don't turn the TV on. I don't watch too much of the tennis. I don't read any of the papers. I don't go online. I just avoid it, concentrate on playing." The man he beat in last year's final, No. 1-seeded Novak Djokovic, won in similarly easy fashion on Day 1, taking the first 11 games and never facing a break point en route to beating 56th-ranked An- drey Golubev of Kazakh- stan 6-0, 6-1, 6-4. "A great start," said Djokovic, the 2011 cham- pion. All in all, it was a rela- tively quiet start to a tour- nament that a year ago was as tumultuous as ever, in- cluding exits by the end of the second round for past champions Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Ma- ria Sharapova. That trio, along with five-time cham- pion and No. 1-seeded Ser- ena Williams, play their opening matches Tuesday. Wimbledon FROM PAGE 1 points as Mexico, but had a better goal difference. Playing in its 100th World Cup match, Brazil needed at least a draw to advance. The only team to play in all 20 World Cups, Brazil has advanced to the second round in every tournament since 1970. Mexico3,Croatia1 RECIFE, BRAZIL Mex- ico surged into the World Cup's knockout stage for a sixth straight time with an emphatic win over Croatia. Rafael Marquez, An- dres Guardado and Ja- vier "Chicharito" Hernan- dez scored in a 10-minute span in the second half, dooming a talented Croa- tia side to elimination from the group stage. Netherlands 2, Chile 0 SAO PAULO Leroy Fer scored a minute after com- ing on as a substitute to help give the Netherlands a victory over Chile and seal top spot in Group B with its third consecutive win. Both teams had already advanced to the second round, but Chile's first loss of the tournament con- signed it to second place in the group. Spain 3, Australia 0 CURITIBA, BRAZIL Spain, the 2010 champion, sal- vaged some World Cup pride with a lopsided win over Australia in its last match at the tournament. After losing their previ- ous matches in Group B to the Netherlands and Chile, both teams went into the match knowing they could not advance to the second round. Roundup FROM PAGE 1 who is now their home- land's coach. It's more than enough to send the suspicious into overdrive. "I don't think that we are made for draws, really, ex- cept if it happens like to- night — two late goals, last seconds," Klinsmann said. "I think both teams go into this game and they want to win the group." Portugal went ahead when Geoff Cameron's way- ward clearance gifted Nani a fifth-minute goal, but Jer- maine Jones scored in the 64th and Clint Dempsey in the 81st to build a 2-1 lead for the U.S. Then Varela scored on a diving header off a cross from two-time world player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo with 30 seconds left in five minutes of stoppage time. Now the U.S. may need a point against Germany to advance. The Americans could clinch with a loss, depending on the result of the Portugal-Ghana game. U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said deliberately playing for a tie is inconceivable. "It's not what this team is about, not what this coach is about and it's not what Germany is like," he said. Klinsmann dismissed the notion he and Loew would have a conversation before the game. "There's no such call," he said. "There's no time right now to have friend- ship calls. It's about busi- ness now." And Jones, who played three games for Germany in 2008 before switching allegiance, said playing for a tie could be dangerous. "You can have 0-0 or 1-1 close to the end, and then the ball goes in and you're out," he said. "So we don't want that."

Agreed to terms with LHP Randy Wolf on a minor league contract. By The Associated Press TORONTO Adam Lind hit a three-run home run in his return to the starting lineup, rookie Marcus Stro- man won for the first time in three starts and the To- ronto Blue Jays beat New York 8-3 on Monday night, handing the Yankees their third straight loss. Lind drove in four runs and Dioner Navarro had two RBIs for Toronto. The AL East-leading Blue Jays scored as many runs in this game against New York as they managed over three games while being swept at Yankee Stadium last week. ORIOLES 6, WHITE SOX 4 Chris Davis hit a pinch-hit, three-run homer in the ninth inning to lift Balti- more past Chicago. Brad Brach (1-0) pitched two hitless innings for Bal- timore. MARLINS 4, PHILLIES 0 Casey McGehee hit a two- run double and Nathan Eovaldi pitched six-hit ball into the seventh inning to lead Miami. Eovaldi (5-3) went 6 1-3 innings and got 12 of his 19 outs on flyballs. The right- hander hadn't won since May 26 and gave up 11 runs in his previous two starts. PIRATES 8, RAYS 1 Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run homer to back the pitch- ing of Edinson Volquez as Pittsburgh beat Tampa Bay. Andrew McCutchen went 3 for 5, drove in two runs and stole two bases for the Pirates in a home- coming of sorts for the 2013 NL MVP, who grew up in nearby Fort Meade and had never played be- fore at Tropicana Field. He also scored twice in Pitts- burgh's first appearance in St. Petersburg since 2003. Alvarez went deep off Alex Cobb (2-6) during a four-run fourth inning that also featured the first of McCutchen's two RBI singles. ROYALS 5, DODGERS 3 Jer- emy Guthrie pitched into the eighth inning, Jarrod Dyson drove in two runs off Zack Greinke and Kan- sas City ended a four-game losing streak. Guthrie (5-6) allowed two runs and seven hits while winning his third straight start. He was buoyed by an offense that had only scored eight runs total during its recent slide. Dyson, the Royals' No. 9 hitter, went 3 for 3 and stole two bases. Salvador Perez hit a solo home run, and Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar — two of the play- ers acquired by the Royals in the trade that sent Gre- inke to Milwaukee in De- cember 2010 — drove in a run apiece. Greg Holland served up a homer to Adrian Gonza- lez in the ninth before earn- ing his 22nd save.
