MORNING SPORTS BRIEFS 1/5/22

NFL

Jim Harbaugh could be returning to coach in the NFL. The Athletic reports Harbaugh “might be tempted” to take an NFL coaching job after leading Michigan to the College Football Playoff Semifinals this season. A possible landing spot could be the Las Vegas Raiders, who are looking to fill a vacancy after Jon Gruden resigned in October. Harbaugh coached the San Francisco 49ers from 2011- 2014 and led them to Super Bowl 47. He then departed for Michigan, where he has compiled a 61-and-24 record with the Wolverines.

NBA

Ja Morant had 26 points as the Memphis Grizzlies won for the second straight night, downing the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-106 in Cleveland last night. The Grizzlies welcome the Detroit Pistons tomorrow night.

NHL

Filip Forsberg scored twice in the Nashville Predators 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Las Vegas. Yakov Trenin scored in the second period for Nashville, and goalie Juuse Saros made 41 saves. The Preds improve to 21-11-and-2. Nashville plays the Kings in Los Angeles tomorrow night.
