EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Its Peace out for the Los Angeles Lakers. They waived Metta World Peace on Thursday under the NBAs amnesty provision, which will save the team about $15 million in luxury tax. He was set to earn $7.7 million next season, which the Lakers still must pay. He averaged 12.4 points and 5.0 rebounds in 75 games last season, having joined the Lakers in 2009. The 33-year-old tore knee cartilage in March and clearly wasnt the same player afterward. He didnt play in the last game of San Antonios four-game sweep of the Lakers in the first round. The former Ron Artest legally changed his name during his tenure with the team. One of the highlights of his time with the Lakers was his clutch play in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals, which helped them beat Boston for the franchises 16th championship. "Its tough to say goodbye to a player such as Metta, who has been a significant part of our team the past four seasons," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. "For anyone whos had the opportunity to get to know him, its impossible not to love him." Kobe Bryant wanted to keep him, tweeting earlier this week that hed hold onto World Peace and try to make a run with the team the Lakers had. A 14-year veteran, World Peace has also played for Houston, Sacramento, Indiana and Chicago during his career. He won the leagues citizenship award in 2011 for his off-court contributions. World Peace tweeted thanks that Kupchak had called him first. In a follow-up tweet, World Peace, well-known for kidding his followers on the social media site, wrote, "Im going to play for Yao Mings team in china! I cant wait to arrive in Shanghai !!" Former All-Star centre Yao played for the Sharks before coming to the U.S. to play in the NBA and he and World Peace were teammates in Houston. In another move, the Lakers signed free agent Nick Young, who starred at Southern California during his college career. The 6-foot-7 guard-forward averaged 10.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 59 games for Philadelphia last season. Young previously played in Los Angeles for the Clippers, and was with Washington during his six-year NBA career. Lynn Dickey Jersey .

SEATTLE -- Adoree Jackson sprinted into the purple end zone, planted his feet and flipped backward , perfectly sticking the landing.Southern California celebrated its biggest victory of the season with style and flash Saturday night.Sam Darnold threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns and USC upset No. 4 Washington 26-13 on Saturday night, snapping the Huskies 12-game winning streak and damaging their College Football Playoff hopes.Darnold was outstanding against one of the top defenses in the Pac-12, showing why USC has surged since he became the starter. Darnolds lofted pass over linebacker D.J. Beavers and into the arms of tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe for an 8-yard touchdown strike in the opening moments of the fourth quarter gave USC an 11-point lead that Washington (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12, No. 4 CFP) couldnt overcome.To play that game, at this age, in that atmosphere? Unbelievable, USC coach Clay Helton said.Ronald Jones II added 93 yards rushing and a touchdown. USC (7-3, 6-2, No. 20 CFP) won its sixth straight and should get back into the AP Top 25 while keeping alive its hopes of winning the Pac-12 South.Washington coach Chris Petersen cautioned all week that USC was back to looking like the most talented team in the Pac-12 and he was proved correct. Darnold flustered Washingtons defense by keeping plays alive with his feet and found gaps in the Huskies secondary that have been difficult for others to find.If guys are looking down the horizon, youre going to get hit right between the eyes, Petersen said. Theres too many good players and coaches in this league. ... I think we played a good team tonight.Darreus Rogers had six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown, while Imatorbhebhe added five catches for 78 yards. Washington lost starting middle linebacker Azeem Victor in the second quarter to a lower right leg injury that required an air cast and a cart to take the Huskies leading tackler off the field. His absence was felt in the pass game where USC exploited the middle of the field.When you have great players in front of you ... its your job to get them the ball and find the open guy. I thought I did that pretty well tonight, Darnold said.Washington quarterback Jake Browning was 17 of 36 for 259 yards, including a 70-yard TD pass to John Ross where he shook Jackson at the line of scrimmage. Ross finished with eight catches for 154 yards, but the Huskies were held to 17 yards rushing after coming into the week as the Pac-12 leader averaging 231 yards per game.Herees where we find out if were the front-runners that are only playing well when things are going well or are we going to respond and bounce back stronger? Browning said.dddddddddddd That will be interesting to see what kind of team are we.When USC went ahead 10-3 on Rogers 13-yard TD catch it was the first time Washington trailed at home since the first quarter of last Novembers Apple Cup against Washington State. The 17-6 halftime lead for the Trojans marked Washingtons first halftime deficit in more than a calendar year. The Huskies last trailed at the break on Nov. 7, 2015, against Utah, a game they lost 34-23.It was the drive just before halftime that put USC in control. Taking over at the 18 with 2:27 left in the half, Darnold completed 4 of 7 passes for 75 yards and capped the drive with Jones 4-yard TD run and an 11-point lead at the break.USC also got a huge play from Jack Jones in the third quarter blocking Cameron Van Winkles 38-yard field goal attempt after Darnold was intercepted for a second time by Washingtons Taylor Rapp.POLL IMPLICATIONSWelcome back to the AP Top 25 , USC. The Trojans were the first team outside the Top 25 last week but certainly will make a significant leap after the impressive win. With rest of the chaos this week, perhaps USC will crack the top 20.The chaos in the top 10 may help Washington also. The Huskies may not be penalized as much because of other top 10 teams losing.THE TAKEAWAYUSC: Jackson didnt have the best night, especially when he was matched up in coverage on Ross. But he came up with two key interceptions, both times using his quickness to break in front of the receivers and grab Brownings pass.Washington: The big plays that have been part of Washingtons success all season were absent. Washington had just three plays of longer than 20 yards: Two by Ross and a 28-yard pass to Chico McClatcher.INJURY REPORTPetersen did not have much of an update after the game on Victors injury. Its another blow to Washingtons defense that is likely to be without defensive end and sack leader Joe Mathis for the rest of the season due to foot surgery.UP NEXTUSC: The Trojans travel across town next Saturday to face rival UCLA at the Rose Bowl.Washington: The Huskies close out their home schedule hosting Arizona State.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
