9:17 a.m. ET: The New York Knicks are moving up in Wednesday's NBA draft, acquiring the Utah Jazz's pick at No. 23 in exchange for the No. 27 and No. 38 selections, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. 9:44 p.m. ET: In an expected move, Los Angeles Lakers PF Anthony Davis has declined the player option of the final year on his contract and will be a free agent this offseason, multiple sources told ESPN. He or she will take a biopsy -- the removal of a small bit of skin and soft tissue -- of the infected area and send it off for examination at a lab. What's more, they're applying antibiotics much more deliberately than in the past, meaning that when they administer them against MRSA, they're making sure they kill every last bit of it. When physicians properly prescribe antibiotics and patients take the entire prescription, MRSA has less chance to mutate. When it's determined that a patient in the hospital has a MRSA infection (or is colonized by the bacteria), he'll be quarantined and given a battery of antibiotics. A patient with a MRSA infection of this magnitude can suffer toxic shock (which affects the functioning of some organs), endocarditis (an inflammation of the heart's lining) pneumonia and even blood poisoning.
