MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope reached a buyout agreement with the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.

ESPN, citing sources, reported Saturday that Caldwell-Pope plans to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers after clearing waivers.

Caldwell-Pope averaged 8.4 points and 21.9 minutes in 51 games last season for Memphis. He had finger surgery in February and missed the final 31 games of the season.

The 33-year-old guard has a career 11-point average in 963 games in 13 seasons with Detroit, the Los Angeles Lakers, Washington, Denver, Orlando and the Grizzlies. He was part of championship teams with the Lakers in 2020 and the Nuggets in 2023.

MONTREAL (AP) — Luis Suárez scored on a penalty kick in the 81st minute after Germán Berterame was fouled, knocked unconscious and taken away in an ambulance in Inter Miami's 1-0 win over CF Montreal on Saturday night.

Berterame was injured when he banged heads with Montreal defender Efraín Morales. There was no immediate details on the 27-year-old forward's condition.

“Berterame is conscious and is doing well,” interim coach Guillermo Hoyos said in Spanish after the game. "The blow was very strong but he is recovering.”

Suárez sent a soft shot past Sébastian Breza for his ninth goal of the season and his sixth in the last three matches to give Inter Miami its sixth straight victory.

Rocco Ríos Novo saved two shots for Inter Miami (11-2-4) in his third start and second clean sheet this season.

Breza had one save in his second start this season for Montreal (4-10-3) and the 37th of his career. He has never had a shutout.

Lionel Messi has not played in Inter Miami's first two matches following the World Cup after Argentina's runner-up finish. However, Carlos Casemiro, who played for Brazil in the event, made his MLS debut for the team after a successful career with Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid.

Inter Miami has won three straight against Montreal.

Montreal has scored one goal in three matches since the World Cup break, going 0-2-1.

Miami: Hosts the Columbus Crew on Saturday.

Montreal: Hosts the New England Revolution on Saturday.
