The Milwaukee Bucks have a reached a verbal agreement with free agent shooting guard, O.J. Mayo on a three year, $24 million deal.

Mayo averaged 15.3 points and 4.4 assists per game last season for the Dallas Mavericks, and he will fill the void left by J.J. Redick after a three-team trade sent him to the Clippers this week.

The Los Angeles Clippers’ roster keeps getting stronger.

Sources close to the situation said on Saturday night that free-agent point guard Darren Collison has verbally agreed to join the Clippers on a two-year deal with a player option entering the final year.

With no workable sign-and-trade available to the Clippers with his old team in Dallas, Collison opted to sign with L.A. for the remainder of its mid-level exception after the deal Matt Barnes secured with Los Angeles on Friday.

The move brings the former UCLA star home and reunites Collison with Clippers star Chris Paul, under whose tutelage Collison had a strong rookie season in New Orleans in 2009-10.

Washington Redskins star quarterback Robert Griffin, III married his college sweetheart, Rebecca Liddicoat, on Saturday in Denver, near his spouse’s hometown of Boulder, Colorado.

Carmelo Anthony isn’t one to forget where he came from. The NBA All-Star returned to his old home to open two newly refurbished basketball courts in the Red Hook Houses, where the player spent his early childhood.

“It’s really, honestly, a dream come true,” Anthony said. The Carmelo Anthony Foundation and JPMorgan Chase funded the courts’ repaving, repainting and fixes to the surrounding fence, and added new logos and a paint job to the backboards and rims.

Dozens of men, women and young players gathered around the courts at the Red Hook East Houses at 62 Mill St., some standing on the sidelines, while others pressed against the fences under the sweltering sun, just to get a glimpse of the NBA superstar.

MIAMI — Ray Allen was wearing a pair of ski goggles to protect his eyes from the spray of champagne in the Miami Heat locker room last week, and assessed what it was like to be part of another NBA championship celebration.

“It feels right,” Allen said. “This feels right.” He’s hoping things stay that way next season.

Quickly tying up a loose end for the Heat, Allen exercised his $3.2 million player option Friday to remain with the club next season, when Miami will aim for a third straight NBA title.

Sabine Lisicki ended Serena Williams’ reign as Wimbledon champion as the German 23rd seed clinched a stunning three-set victory over the world number one in the fourth round.

Lisicki, who plays Estonia’s Kaia Kanepi for a place in the last four, has an impressive Wimbledon record, reaching the quarter-finals three times and the last four in 2011.

But this incredible 6-2, 1-6, 6-4 upset on Centre Court was by far her greatest achievement at the All England Club.

There are still two months until Floyd “Money” Mayweather, Jr. and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez meet at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, but the fight will be worth the wait when it finally arrives.

On Thursday that the match sold out in less than a day, so there are high expectations for the September 14 meeting. When the two boxers meet, it will be interesting to see if Alvarez can make it a challenge for Money. Mayweather is a perfect 44-0-0. Nobody has been able to put a dent in his record, and many wonder if there is anyone who can even manage a draw.

On the other side, Alvarez is 42-0-1. Of those 42 victories, he has 30 knockouts. His record suggests that he should be able to stay with Money, and all indications are that he will be able to do exactly that. Each boxer will be looking to remain unbeaten. Nobody has been able to find a way to beat either guy, which will make this bout intriguing.

Kevin Garnett has agreed to waive his no-trade clause, clinching an agreement on a trade that will land Paul Pierce, Garnett and Jason Terry with the Brooklyn Nets. Garnett waiving the no-trade clause was the last step to sealing the deal, sources said.

Brooklyn has agreed to send three first-round picks (2014, ‘16 and ‘18) along with Kris Humphries’ expiring contract, Gerald Wallace, Kris Joseph, MarShon Brooks and a sign-and-traded Keith Bogans to the Celtics for Pierce, Garnett and Terrys.
