Georgia's Johnson to transfer to junior college

Basketball Betting Lines

08/23/2006 -

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -Georgia forward Kendrick Johnson will transfer to San Jose (Calif.) City College for academic and medical reasons, Georgia coach Dennis Felton said Tuesday.

Felton said he hopes Johnson can return to Georgia.

Johnson has had two reconstructive surgeries on his ankles and needs the time in junior college to continue his medical rehabilitation while he also works on his academics.

Johnson (6-9), from Morton, Texas, played in 14 games last season, averaging 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds. His season ended in February with the first of the two surgeries.

Felton said Johnson is academically eligible to remain at Georgia ``and he is in perfectly good standing with our basketball team.''

Added Felton: ``We concluded, though, that this was the best decision for Kendrick and his scholastic future, and he and I both hope that he keeps himself in position to return to Georgia to continue his career.''

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
