NFL reduces Hardy’s suspension

IRVING, Texas — Greg Hardy’s suspension for his role in a domestic violence case was reduced from 10 games to four and his agent said the Dallas defensive end might not be finished fighting the punishment.

Arbitrator Harold Henderson, who heard Hardy’s appeal, upheld NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s decision to suspend Hardy. But he said the length was “simply too much” since the league had decided last year that suspensions in domestic cases would start at six games.

Hardy missed all but one game last season with Carolina, but was paid his $13 million salary while on the commissioner’s exempt list.

Under the latest ruling, Hardy’s debut for the Cowboys would be against Super Bowl champion New England on Oct. 11. He joined Dallas on a one-year, $13.1 million deal that is heavily based on incentives.

Last All-Star spots decided in vote

NEW YORK — Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas and St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez are going to the All-Star Game as winners of the final fan vote.

Martinez surged ahead of Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto in voting that ended Friday afternoon to become the sixth Cardinals player to make the NL roster for Tuesday’s Mid-Summer Classic in Cincinnati.

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and Mets closer Jeurys Familia were also in contention.

Moustakas becomes the seventh Royals player set to participate in the All-Star Game.

Also a first time All-Star, Moustakas was hitting .301 with seven homers and 31 RBIs for the AL Central leaders.

LeBron signs 2-year extension with Cavs

CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers can exhale for another year. They’ve got LeBron James’ signature on a contract.

The four-time MVP, who brought the Cavs back from irrelevancy to the brink of an NBA championship this season, signed his two-year, $47 million deal.

The commitment allows him to maintain financial flexibility and keeps pressure on Cleveland’s front office to keep building.

The deal includes a player option for the 2016-17 season.

He finalized the agreement shortly before hosting a private screening for a new movie in which he has a supporting role.
