PRETORIA, South Africa (AP):

Brazil coach Dunga says members of the team's delegation were robbed at the hotel they are staying in at the Confederations Cup in South Africa. Dunga says "there was a robbery at the hotel".

The coach did not elaborate, but team spokesman Rodrigo Paiva says "a jacket and some money" disappeared from some of the rooms at the Centurion Lake hotel, just outside Pretoria. They think it happened when the team went to a safari on Friday and Paiva says Brazil contacted authorities about the incident.

'Unknown' rumour

BEIJING (AP):

Houston's Yao Ming has called a possible move to Cleveland an "unknown", but did nothing to dampen ongoing speculation that the Cavaliers' new Chinese part owners want to sign him.

In a recent interview with his hometown Shanghai TV station, Yao said he continued to have "much affection" for the Rockets, the team that picked him as a first-round draft pick in 2003 and with whom he has played all six of his NBA seasons.
