Toronto Raptors point guards Malachi Flynn (left hamstring strain) and Fred VanVleet (right knee soreness) have been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

OG Anunoby (finger), Justin Champagnie (two-way) and David Johnson (two-way) will also miss the game.

Flynn is coming off a season-high 20-point game against the Orlando Magic on Friday, and has served as the team’s starting point guard with VanVleet out. Sunday’s contest marks VanVleet’s fifth consecutive game out of the lineup.

Earlier Sunday, the Raptors signed Armoni Brooks to a 10-day contract to shore up some guard depth. He’ll be available against Cleveland.

The Raptors are mired in a two-game losing streak after falling to Eastern Conference basement dwellers Charlotte and Orlando. Toronto is currently seventh in the conference, trailing the sixth-seed Cavaliers by two games.

Watch Sunday’s clash live on Sportsnet or SN NOW at 7:30 p.m. ET.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Mexico has declared its desire to host the Summer Olympics in 2036 or 2040 and says it already has most of the sports infrastructure required.

Interest in hosting the 2036 Olympics had earlier been expressed by officials in countries including Egypt, England, India, Indonesia, Qatar and South Korea.

Mexico City hosted the Summer Games in 1968.

Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Marcelo Ebrard and Mexican Olympic Committee president Maria Jose Alcala met Friday with IOC president Thomas Bach. Ebrard delivered a letter of intent to Bach.

A city or region wasn’t specified but Ebrard and Alcala said a committee would be formed to support the initiative.

Last October, International Olympic Committee director general Christophe De Kepper said they were talking to “10 interested NOCs and regions across four continents” regarding potential candidacies for future Summer Games. The 2036 edition is the next available to be awarded.

LEEDS, England — The stadium of English Premier League club Leeds was evacuated because of a security threat that led to the arrest of a man on Friday.

Elland Road, its offices and the club shop were closed as police carried out checks after Leeds received a threat via social media.

West Yorkshire Police said a 20-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident. The force said earlier that officers attended Elland Road “following reports of a security threat to the premises.”

The Premier League is on hold this week because of international matches.

Leeds’ next game is at Arsenal on April 1.
