The Memphis Grizzlies?have placed Zach Randolph?on an indefinite leave of absence following the death of his mother, Mae Randolph, on Thursday, coach David Fizdale said.He can take as much time as he needs to take, to take care of his family and take care of himself and come back to us when hes ready, Fizdale told reporters on Friday. Weve got to take care of our brother. Obviously losing his mom on Thanksgiving, I think, was devastating for him and all of us. I think anyone can connect to that, relate to something like that and how hard it could be.The Grizzlies (10-5) hosted the Miami Heat on Friday night and will travel to Miami for another game between the two teams Saturday. Memphis then hosts the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.Zach and his mother had an inseparable bond. Mae was so fiercely proud of her son, his accomplishments and his truly special place in the hearts of Memphians and the Grizzlies family, general manager Chris Wallace said in a statement.I will never forget the unbridled joy she took in attending our games, cheering as all mothers do, and proudly wearing Zachs jersey in support of her son. Mae raised Zach to be a man with an enormous heart, who is deeply committed to enriching the lives of those in need, and for that legacy we are forever indebted to her.Randolph, 35, is averaging 14.2 points and a team-leading 7.9 rebounds per game this season.My message to the team was Lets make sure we keep our hands on him and surround him with love [and] support and know that if it were switched around, people would be praying for us, Fizdale said. Hes such a great guy, such a great teammate. Cheap Atlanta Falcons Jerseys . 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

Niki Lauda thinks Formula One risks alienating a large chunk of its fanbase if it continues going too far in the push for safety.This week the FIA is conducting the last set of tests on the Halo safety device ahead of the July decision on whether to implement it to F1 in 2017. F1 has been relentless in the push for safety in recent years but the introduction of Halo would be a ground-breaking step which could have ramifications in all series of open wheel racing.The Halo had a largely negative reaction from fans and drivers, with Lewis Hamilton calling it the worst modification to a car in F1 history. Fellow three-time world champion Lauda thinks F1s safety push could be sanitising the sport.If you go too far with these things, its no wonder that fewer people are watching these days, Lauda told Motorsport Magazine in reference to the Halo device. I think -- in a very respectful way -- that the DNA of Formula One should be maintained, and were slowly going to destroy it if we keep on inventing what are -- for me -- too many safety issues.Lauda believes F1 fans will stop watching if the sport is perceived to be too safe with none of the risks associated with the past.Because of improvements in the cars and tracks, Formula One has never been as safe as it iis today, so now the question for me is how far can we go on safety issues without losing the interest of the people? If someone says he wants to make $40m a year, with an easy car to drive, and no risk, this is not reality.dddddddddddd..Laudas fears are echoed by Sebastian Vettel, who thinks there is a fine balance to be found between safety and the risk of racing.The fact that the cars have become a lot safer is obviously nice for us, because knowing a little bit of history shows you that many years ago the drivers werent as lucky, and I think you need to find the right compromise, Vettel said at the FIAs Sport Conference last week. The ingredients of passion, speed, danger and noise are very important.We want to make the sport safer - we cant shut our eyes if bad things happen. Its a difficult balance, and it might sound wrong initially, but I think the sport in some way has to remain dangerous because that is what is appealing to people. If you lose that ingredient, they dont sense any more that its something out of their reach - out of this world - and it becomes less exciting. I think racing should keep its core pillars.
