Jets star Brandon Marshall wins civil assault suit

Mark Lennihan/AP Brandon Marshall left the courthouse once the case went to the jury and did not return, so he was not in the room when the verdict was read. Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall won the civil suit levied against him by a California woman in Manhattan federal court for assault and battery on Friday. Christin Myles, who accused Marshall of punching her in the face outside the Marquee nightclub on Mar. 11, 2012, sought at least $75,000 in damages for her medical expenses and her pain and suffering. The jury deliberated for just over an hour before

Myers: Ferguson leaving money, saving health in retirement

Maddie Meyer/Getty Images While he spoke candidly about concussions in December, D’Brickashaw Ferguson was never diagnosed with one in his 10-year career. D’Brickashaw Ferguson is 32 years old and played 10 years in the NFL and the only snap he missed in his career came on a trick play. So, he is not part of the epidemic of young players in the last two years who are getting out of the NFL early rather than risk brain injury, even though it’s before they max out on their earnings potential. Ferguson made $67 million with the Jets and never was

Jets trade for Broncos' Ryan Clady to replace D’Brickashaw

Kathy Willens/AP Broncos offensive lineman Ryan Clady blocks for Knowshon Moreno. That was fast. On the same day D’Brickashaw Ferguson made his retirement official, the Jets traded for his replacement, dealing for former Broncos tackle Ryan Clady, according to a source. Gang Green is giving up a 2016 fifth-round pick in exchange for the tackle and will also receive a 2016 seventh-rounder, according to a source. Those are the same terms the Jets struck with the Bears a year ago in a deal for wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Clady, a four-time Pro Bowler, started 16 games in 2014 for

Advocate blasts Greg Hardy’s clueless, harmful stance

Ric Tapia/AP Greg Hardy denies ever assaulting women in an interview he did with ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Domestic violence experts responded with dismay Tuesday to disgraced football star Greg Hardy’s claim in an ESPN interview that violence against women is “nonexistent in most southern homes.” “Domestic violence does not discriminate, it impacts every race, geographic region, educational background,” Katie Ray-Jones, the CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, tells the Daily News. “It knows no boundaries. It’s a reg resilient issue that people don’t talk about.” Hardy, who was suspended four games last season over evidence that he battered

Knicks look lost without Porzingis and Melo, fall to Raptors

Try as they did, Arron Afflalo (c.) and the Knicks couldn’t get past the red-hot Raptors.

TORONTO – Health finally caught up with Kristaps Porzingis and the Knicks. They marched an infirmary line into snowy Canada and didn’t stand a chance.

Reduced to a starting lineup without their point guard and top two players, the Knicks were predictably overmatched by the red-hot Raptors, 103-93, in a snoozer TNT probably regrets booking for national TV.

Porzingis’ goal of playing every game was killed when an upper respiratory illness forced the Knicks to make a late scratch. Carmelo Anthony missed his second straight game with knee soreness. Jose Calderon was hampered by a groin injury.

In their place in the lineup, Fisher included used a player normally out of his rotation – Kyle O’Quinn – and two others acquired last season on 10-day contracts – Langston Galloway and Lance Thomas.

The makeshift crew hung around and made it semi-interesting in the fourth quarter, but New York’s fourth straight defeat could be summed up as such: the Raptors took a lead late in the first quarter and never gave it up. They also won their 10th straight game for the first time in franchise history, improving to 31-15 and 10 games above the inconsistent, multi-personality Knicks (22-26).

The visitors shot 43 percent, with Arron Afflalo continuing to misfire at 7-for-17 – two days after shooting 6-for-21 against the Thunder. Toronto was paced by their All-Star backcourt of DeMar DeRozan (24 points) and Kyle Lowry (26 points, 10 assists). The Knicks uncharacteristically missed half of their 20 free throw attempts.

Porzingis, 20, who was left off the All-Star reserves announced Thursday, has been pretty durable while exceeding his minutes total from his previous season in Spain. He seemed in good spirits during Thursday morning’s shootaround, amusing his teammates by sporting a tight black leather jacket. But the Latvian apparently fell ill before the game, and he never even made it to New York’s bench.

His consecutive games streak stopped at 47.

Anthony’s injury, while not as surprising, is potentially more concerning. He continued to downplay the pain in his knee, but it’s alarming that this is lingering in the same area that required surgery to repair a partially torn patella tendon.

Anthony agreed with coach Derek Fisher’s assertion that the pain might be related to overcompensating for a previous injury – a sprained right ankle.

The Knicks fell to 0-6 this season without him.

“I’m very confident that this is nothing but some fatigue, a little bit of soreness,” said Anthony, adding that he hopes to play in Friday’s game against the Suns. “Probably just an overload of work. I could’ve been overcompensating in those (previous) games.”

Anthony also revealed there was a setback that held him out of Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder.

“That day the soreness spiked up so I didn’t want to go out there and be [LIMITED]out there,” Anthony said. “I wanted to go out there and be myself. If I can’t be myself out there I feel like I’m hindering the team a little bit.”

Calderon also missed his first game of the season, as the ailments hit the Knicks like an avalanche in one night.
