Cavaliers forward Antawn Jamison is expecting to play Sunday when Cleveland hosts the Boston Celtics in a game between division leaders. Jamison missed Friday’s win against Philadelphia because of a cyst behind his left knee. He said Saturday he thought he could have played against the 76ers, but team doctors advised him to rest. Jamison did not make the trip to Philadelphia.
He is averaging 17.0 points and 7.5 rebounds since coming over in the trade to Cleveland.

Jake Delhomme, released last week by the Carolina Panthers, has agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Browns, whose quarterback position has been nothing short of a merry-go-round of players since the club returned as an expansion team 11 years ago. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter first reported the deal, and a source told Schefter that Delhomme is scheduled to make $7 million this season, including just under $900,000 in base salary. With $12.7 million from Carolina, Delhomme will make $19.7 million in 2010.

In what looked more like a sparring session than a boxing match, Manny Pacquiao successfully won a unanimous decision over Joshua Clottey. With the biggest fight crowd in the U.S. in 17 years cheering him on at Cowboys Stadium, Pacquiao dominated a strangely passive Joshua Clottey from the opening bell Saturday night to retain his welterweight title and cement his status as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

Alabama (9-0) clinched the Southeastern Conference West with a 6-0 conference record and will play Florida, the East champion, on Dec. 5 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The two teams still have three games to play, so nothing should be taken for granted, especially on Alabama’s side. No. 9 LSU did its best to spoil the party Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium in front of 92,138 fans, but Alabama finally uncovered the offense that has been missing for a month and held on tight to its national championship hopes winning 24-15.
