Brazil have given Australias male basketballers a hard dose of reality barely a week out from the Rio Olympics, beating the Boomers by 29 points in a warm-up game in Sao Paulo.After racing out to an early 11-2 lead, the Boomers struggled to find baskets in the 96-67 loss in Sao Paulo on Friday morning (AEST).A David Andersen three-pointer got them to within nine points in the fourth quarter, but were outscored 32-15 by the hosts who finished strongly for the win.NBA star Patty Mills was the only Australian to reach double figures, scoring 18 points plus five assists.Matthew Dellavedova, Aron Baynes, Ryan Broekhoff, Cameron Bairstow and Kevin Lisch all added six points, while Andersen and Brock Motum finished with seven points each.Joe Ingles was with the team but did not play, having only flown to South America on Wednesday following the birth of baby twins.The Boomers shot at only 38 per cent from the field compared to world No.9 Brazils 53 per cent accuracy.Injured big man Andrew Boguts defensive presence was missed, with Brazils Nene and Marcus Vinicius de Souza proving a handful.Raul Neto led the way with 17 points, three assists and two rebounds for the home side.It was Australias first loss on tour, having beaten fourth-ranked Argentina 84-83 in Buenos Aires on Tuesday.They next face Lithuania early Sunday morning (AEST), plus one other game a day later against possibly China or Brazil again before heading to Rio.The Boomers, chasing their first Olympic medal, begin their campaign against France on August 6.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers running back James Starks might not be available for Sundays game against the Chicago Bears after he was involved in a car accident on Monday.Coach Mike McCarthy said thats the reason Starks was added to the injury report this week with a concussion.McCarthy said Starks was otherwise OK but did not provide any additional details.The Green Bay Police Department confirmed that Starks was involved in a traffic incident within the city limits on Monday but said the report was not ready to be released.Starks role has been reduced the past two games, and he was replaced as a starter last week by converted receiver Ty Montgomery. Since Starks played a season-high 54 snaps against the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 28, when he carried 17 times for 41 yards, he has combined for only six carries for 4 yards in the last two games. He played only seven snaps in each game.With Eddie Lacy on iinjured reserve, it would leave the Packers with Montgomery and Christine Michael as their primary halfbacks if Starks is not cleared for Sundays game.ddddddddddddMontgomery has not carried more than nine times in a game this season but is averaging 5.2 yards per carry.Michael, who was claimed off waivers on Nov. 16, has 20 carries for 59 yards in three games since joining the Packers.When asked if Montgomery could handle a 20-carry workload, McCarthy said: Thats a question you really grow into. Hes definitely a durable player. You look at just the way hes built. The fact of the matter is he returns kickoffs too. I think that tells you what we think about his ability to run up in there. Well see how it goes this week, but, yes, I have confidence he can get to that number if he had to. ' ' '
