North Melbourne have sent forward Jarrad Waite for surgery, believing its the best way to have the big man fit and firing for the AFL finals.Waite has endured a hip complaint since round 11 and has played just three times for the Kangaroos since then.Last Saturdays win over St Kilda saw the final straw.The issue came to a head when he buckled after scoring his second goal, prompting the Roos to take action.Jarrad will be heading in for a very minor hip arthroscope this week so we can see exactly whats going on, Kangaroos football director Geoff Walsh said on Monday.Weve tried a non-invasive approach with his treatment but following on from the issues he had on Saturday night, weve decided this is the best course of action in order to have him ready for the pointy end of the season.The 33-year-old has kicked 29 goals in 2016, forming a lethal three-pronged attack with Drew Petrie and Ben Brown as the Kangaroos stormed to their 9-0 start to the season.Just two of those goals have come since round nine, showing Waites drop-off.Given the Kangaroos have all but locked in finals football after the victory over St Kilda - which keeps them three wins clear of ninth place with four matches to play - the timing is good.Waites injury could open the door for Majak Daw to return to the seniors.Daw, 25, has played just four AFL matches this season, prompting suggestions he could find a new home in 2017.He was dominant for North Melbournes VFL affiliate Werribee in their 63-point win over Northern Blues on Sunday, kicking four goals.Young guns Sam Durdin, 20, and Ben McKay, 18, also impressed.Durdin kicked four goals of his own, gathering 22 disposals, while McKay - playing against his fellow AFL-listed brother Harry - snared two.

Eager to expedite the growth of basketball in a largely untapped market of nearly 1.3 billion people, the NBA announced plans on Tuesday to open a training facility for top prospects in India.The announcement marks a major step forward in the effort to recruit athletes from India and develop talent to compete at the highest international levels, and it comes a month after the launch of similar facilities in Hangzhou, Jinan and Urumqi, China. NBA Academy India will focus on instruction for athletes ages 14 to 18 and will be located in the National Capital Region. It is scheduled to begin operation in April 2017 and will provide academic education through a school partnership.Our mission with this academy is to develop and grow basketball in India, NBA vice president of international basketball operations Brooks Meek said. Its focused on improving the level of the players on the national team and to really give a vision to Indian kids that theres a chance and a pathway for them in basketball.NBA representatives will hold a series of scouting camps across the country to select the first 24 male scholarship athletes that will attend and reside at NBA Academy India. Those prospects will be selected by February 2017. The league is also in the process of selecting coaches, scouts and consultants who will staff and instruct at the academy. The academy plans to begin assembling a roster of top female athletes to train there soon after the facility begins operation.The strategy is a holistic approach, Meek said. This is off-court and on-court education, all of the things we feel that we want to have a direct impact on influencing the 360-degree development of an elite basketball player.NBA Academy India prospects will play against top domestic adult teams and also compete internationally. Ultimately, the most promising players at NBA Academy India will be considered for promotion to the NBA Global Academy, which the league recently established in partnership with Basketball Australia in Canberra as an international hub for the training of elite prospects.What we want to do is schedule the toughest and best competition for these kids to play against, knowing that its not about wins and losses, Meek said. Its about player development and achieving your best by playing against the best. Thats a key strategic point for all of these academies.Meek was part of the initial NBA delegation to India in 2005, sent to gather information, scout facilitiess and lay the groundwork for the growth of basketball in the worlds second-most populous nation.dddddddddddd Six years later, the NBA officially planted a flag by establishing an office in Mumbai. Since turning its attention to India, the NBA has held 1,500-plus grassroots events across the country, reaching more than 3.5 million youths and thousands of physical education teachers and coaches, thereby creating the framework of a network where gifted athletes can be discovered.Recently, the NBA Jump talent search tapped 22-year-old Palpreet Singh Brar as the top player among a field of 32 prospects from across India. He then tried out for the NBA Developmental League and was drafted last month by the Long Island Nets, although he did not make the teams season-opening roster. Meek said the NBA would hold a similar set of scouting events, focused on younger athletes, to select the first group of NBA Academy India students.Although still in the formative stage, basketball is undeniably on the rise in India. Many NBA players have made promotional visits to India over the years, including Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Kevin Garnett. Earlier this year, Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry and Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez conducted youth clinics in Noida and Mumbai.Some other key developments in recent years:May 2013: Mumbai native Vivek Ranadive purchases a majority stake in the NBAs Sacramento Kings.July 2014: The India mens national team defeats China for the first time, stunning the top-ranked hosts of the FIBA Asia Cup in Wuhan.April 2015: Canadian center Sim Bhullar becomes the first player of Indian descent to appear in an NBA game.June 2015: Punjab native Satnam Singh becomes the first player from India ever selected in the NBA draft when the Dallas Mavericks identify him in the second round -- No. 52 overall. (He currently plays for the Texas Legends of the NBA Developmental League and has yet to appear in an official NBA game.)September 2016: India again upset top-ranked China, this time at the FIBA Asia Challenge in Tehran. India ultimately lost in the quarterfinals to eventual champions Iran.The next landmark will occur in April when NBA Academy India creates a virtual pipeline connecting boys and girls from every corner of the nation to the highest levels of competition around the world.
