LeBron unsure about playing 2016 in Rio

Basketball: LeBron James said Wednesday his health and his family will determine whether he tries for a record third basketball Olympic gold medal next summer.

James took part in USA Basketball’s minicamp, satisfying chairman Jerry Colangelo’s mandate that anyone wanting to be considered for the 2016 roster show up this week in Las Vegas.

James suited up in a No. 27 jersey and worked out, though he won’t play in the Americans’ intrasquad exhibition today because of a previous commitment back in Ohio.

The Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star could join Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul as the only three-time gold medalists, and he and Anthony would be the first American men to appear in four Olympics. James says he’s “not penciling it in, as of now, for next summer” and that his decision may not come until after next season.

“All my decisions go through my family. We’ll see how my family feels about it,” James said. “And then with my health, going another NBA campaign season, as far as my team back home in Cleveland, and I’ll go from there.”

Winston accuser’s suit goes to trial

College football: A district judge has denied Florida State’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by former student Erica Kinsman in a ruling on Wednesday.

Kinsman has said former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston sexually assaulted her in 2012. Her lawsuit against the university’s board of trustees states the school failed to properly investigate or respond to her allegation, which denied her educational benefits. She is seeking monetary damages.

The next step in the suit against FSU is for depositions to be scheduled following Judge Mark Walker’s ruling on Wednesday.

Kinsman has also filed a suit against Winston, the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NFL draft and now playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
