LOS ANGELES — USC said Chad Baker-Mazara is no longer part of its men’s basketball program.

The team released a short statement Sunday that provided no explanation. Baker-Mazara played Saturday in a loss to No. 12 Nebraska and scored 14 points in the first half. He fell hard near the baseline and didn’t return after playing three minutes in the second half.

Coach Eric Musselman said Baker-Mazara told him that he couldn’t go back in. USC was Baker-Mazara’s fifth school in his college career.

Kings fire coach Hiller

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — The Los Angeles Kings fired coach Jim Hiller Sunday after losing five of their past six games and falling out of playoff position.

D.J. Smith was named the interim replacement for the rest of the season in the first coaching change by general manager Ken Holland, who kept Hiller behind the bench when he took over the front office last May.
