ATLANTA (AP) — Ted Turner was a sportsman of all types, a world champion in sailing and a World Series-winning owner in baseball.

An investment group has come forward to buy the Vancouver Whitecaps and relocate the Major League Soccer club to Las Vegas. The group is led by Grant Gustavson, grandson of B. Wayne Hughes, the founder of Public Storage. The Whitecaps were put up for sale 16 months ago but no potential buyers had emerged publicly until Thursday. Major League Soccer has said it would “evaluate all options” for the future of the Whitecaps, including a possible move. The team currently plays at BC Place, which will host seven games of this summer’s World Cup. But the league has said the lease situation with the stadium is untenable and would prefer a soccer-specific stadium for the team.

Former NBA player and assistant coach Damon Jones has become the first person to plead guilty in a gambling sweep that led to the arrests of more than 30 people, including reputed mobsters and other basketball figures. During back-to-back hearings in Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday, Jones pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He was charged in separate cases with profiting from rigged poker games and providing sports bettors with nonpublic information about injuries to stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, according to court filings. The 49-year-old previously pleaded not guilty in both cases. He's due to be sentenced Jan. 6. He and his lawyer declined to comment after the hearings.
