Zion Williamson had a career-high 35 points and 10 rebounds, and his free throw with 16.2 seconds left in regulation tied it at 85 for Duke.

NFL – Coliseum Authority to get update on Raiders lease
The Coliseum Authority will meet Friday to get an update on the possibility of whether the Raiders could stay in Oakland another year. Authority executive director Scott McKibben said he will update the board in closed session on where things stand between the Raiders and the Coliseum following a lawsuit filed by the city of Oakland against the team and the NFL last month. No Raiders officials will be present. The Raiders had pulled their $7.5 million lease offer for 2019 off the table following the lawsuit, but owner Mark Davis later said all options remain for where the team will play its final season before moving into a new $1.8 billion, 65,000-seat stadium in Las Vegas in 2020. McKibben said he has been in touch with Raiders president Marc Badain and told him the board is willing to meet after the team has done its due diligence into other sites. The Bay Area News Group reported that the team will meet with the authority, but McKibben said nothing has been scheduled yet. The Raiders have had talks with the San Francisco Giants about sharing their ballpark, could share Levi’s Stadium with the 49ers or try to find a stadium in another market.
NFL – Murray enters NFL draft
Will it be the NFL, the Oakland Athletics or both for Kyler Murray? The reigning Heisman Trophy winner has announced he’s leaving Oklahoma early to enter the NFL draft. He passed for 4,361 yards and 42 touchdowns and ran for 1,001 yards and another 12 scores this past season. The A’s made the speedy outfielder the ninth overall selection last June, signed him and gave him a $4.66 million signing bonus. The Athletics agreed to let him continue playing football, and he made the most of it by winning the Heisman in his only season as a starter for the Sooners.
NFL – Arctic blast due to hit KC for AFC championship game
Break out the parkas for Sunday night’s AFC title game at Arrowhead Stadium. The National Weather Service is projecting an arctic blast to settle over Kansas City for the Chiefs’ game against the New England Patriots. Temperatures at kickoff could range from 10 degrees to well below zero, potentially making it the coldest game in Arrowhead Stadium history. Twice it has been 1 degree at kickoff, including a December 2016 game against Tennessee. Both teams are accustomed to cold, inclement weather, though. The Chiefs experienced some of it this past weekend, when heavy snow blanketed Kansas City and knocked out power to thousands of people. The snow stopped just before kickoff, though, and the field was in good shape for their 31-13 victory over the Colts. The wind chill was in the teens for the Patriots’ win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
Tennis – Day 2 at Australian Open
Serena Williams and Madison Keys have won their opening-round matches at the Australian Open. Williams dropped just two games in her match, her first at Melbourne since she was pregnant while winning the title in 2017. The 17th-seeded Keys began the Day 2 schedule at Laver Arena by winning in straight sets. She’s joined in the second round by seventh seed Karolina Pliskova and 12th seed Elise Mertens American Ryan Harrison advanced to the second round on the men’s side with a straight-sets victory, but countryman Sam Querrey was knocked out in four sets. Kei Nishikori rallied from two sets down and won 10 consecutive games before his opponent retired with the score at 3-6, 6-7 (6), 6-0, 6-2, 3-0.
