NEW YORK — Boston’s Jayson Tatum was one vote shy of unanimous in being selected to the NBA’s All-Rookie team, joining Ben Simmons of Philadelphia and Utah’s Donovan Mitchell – the only players to receive all 100 first-place votes from a panel of sports writers and broadcasters.

Tatum received 99 first-place votes and one second-place selection. Tatum, Simmons and Mitchell are finalists for the league Rookie of the Year award.

Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (93 first-team votes) and Chicago’s Lauri Markkanen (76) rounded out the first team.

The second team was guards Dennis Smith Jr. of Dallas and Lonzo Ball of the Lakers, Atlanta forward John Collins, Sacramento guard Bogdan Bogdanovic and Phoenix forward Josh Jackson.

THE MAYOR of Milwaukee is expressing concern about police conduct in the stun-gun arrest of Bucks guard Sterling Brown in January.

Mayor Tom Barrett says he’s viewed police video of Brown’s arrest over an alleged parking violation. He did not offer details but has said he has questions about how police acted.

Brown was arrested in a Walgreens parking lot about 2 a.m. Jan. 26. Officers had been checking on a vehicle parked across two handicap spaces. Brown was not charged.

WHEN LEBRON James was asked about passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most career field goals made in NBA playoff history on Monday in the Cavaliers’ Game 4 win over Boston, James gave a thoughtful answer.

“Any time I’m in the same breath with the greats, I know you guys hear me say it over and over, it’s just humbling,” said James, who enters Game 5 first in career playoff field goals (2,368) and career playoff points (6,668).
