OKC Thunder star Victor Oladipo says he will NOT follow Colin Kaepernick's lead and protest the National Anthem when the NBA season kicks off ... but he wouldn't be surprised if another NBA player did.

Oladipo spoke to TMZ Sports to clarify comments he made during an interview with Complex Sports -- in which he was quoted as saying, "I truly believe" the protest will transfer to the NBA.

Even Lil Wayne is making fun of Ryan Lochte these days ... using the disgraced swimmer to attack Cash Money in a rap performance on 'Ellen.'

The new lyrics were ...

She's admitted to years of alcohol and Rx drug abuse -- but Abby Wambach is staying mum when it comes to the mysterious 2014 car wreck in which she flipped an SUV and fled the scene.

We broke the story ... Wambach flipped her Range Rover just after midnight on June 28th, 2014. The car landed on a residential property -- causing damage to the front lawn.

Moments after the crash, a passerby who came upon the flipped car called 911 and said the driver had already left the scene. Abby told cops she walked home because she didn't have her cell phone and wanted to call a tow truck.

Unclear why she didn't flag down a motorist or knock on the door of the home where she flipped.

Despite the severity of the crash and the curious fact she left the scene -- cops say they had no reason to believe Abby was impaired and did not administer a DUI test of any kind.

But now with Abby admitting her life was out of control with booze and prescription drugs -- we had to ask her straight up ... were you intoxicated on the night of the crash?

10:18 AM PT -- Masina has surrendered to authorities in Utah and is in custody ... according to Orange County Register's Joey Kaufman.

Masina is currently being booked.

USC linebacker Osa Masina has been charged with 1 count of rape in Utah ... stemming from an alleged incident back in July ... this according to the Cottonwood Heights PD.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... a 19-year-old woman claims she was boozing and using marijuana with Masina in Utah on July 25th and passed out ... only to awake with the linebacker on top of her engaging in anal sex.

According to the charging documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, the woman claims she passed out again ... and woke up to Masina "thrusting his erect penis into her mouth."

The woman claims the forced oral sex was so violent, he damaged porcelain crowns on her back teeth.

The woman says she woke up the next morning in pain and went to police, and a rape kit was administered.

Now, officials have hit Masina with 3 felonies -- 1 count of rape and 2 counts of forcible sodomy.

An arrest warrant has been issued and bail has been set at $250,000 -- officials believe he's a possible flight risk.

They also believe Masina could be a danger to others -- due to the allegations against him in Los Angeles.

As we previously reported, the woman claims Masina and his USC teammate, Don Hill, raped her during another incident in L.A. earlier in the month. Officials have not charged either player in that particular case.

Lawrence Taylor's wife, Lynette, has been sentenced to 3 days in jail -- stemming from an incident in which she allegedly attacked the NFL legend and cracked his head open ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... Lynette was arrested at the couple's home in FL back in June -- after an argument turned violent. LT told police she hit him in the back of the head.

Now, we've learned Lynette cut a deal with prosecutors -- pleading no contest to resisting arrest and in exchange she got 3 days in jail. She's been ordered to turn herself in on Sept. 23rd.

As for Lawrence, he's got problems of his own -- he was recently arrested for DUI after allegedly hitting a cop car in Florida.

Donald Trump has a pigskin past -- saying he played football "at a very low level" back in high school ... and learned some important life lessons on the gridiron.

The GOP presidential candidate was touring the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio on Wednesday when he explained how the game prepares people for the real world.

FYI, Trump's classmates at the New York Military Academy have raved about Donald's athletic ability back in the day ... especially on the baseball field.

"He was just the best, a good athlete, a great athlete," former classmate Ted Levine told Business Insider.

"He could have probably played pro ball as a pitcher. I think he threw 80 miles an hour. I was the catcher. He made my hand black and blue every day."

"Could he play football? Could he play soccer? He could do anything he wanted. He was physically and mentally gifted."

Klay Thompson must be sooooo mad right now ... 'cause he's like the only Warrior that HASN'T hit the stage with Drake in Oakland. KD was Tuesday ... and Wednesday night? STEPH & DRAYMOND.

Drake is in Tha Town for the Summer Sixteen tour with Future and continued his trend of bringing local sports stars onstage to drive the crowd wild.

He did it in NY with Derrick Rose, in Ohio it was LeBron, and now he's attempting to get the whole Warriors roster up on the stage in NorCal ... by splitting the stars up over two nights.

A running back on the University of Arizona football team was arrested Wednesday morning after allegedly kidnapping and attacking his girlfriend ... and he's since been booted from the UA team.

Orlando Bradford -- the 2nd string running back -- was charged with 7 felony counts of domestic violence, 4 counts of aggravated assault and 3 counts of kidnapping.

Cops say someone called 911 around 6:30 AM on Wednesday to report an attack. When cops arrived to the scene, they say the woman had obvious injuries, according to USA Today Sports.

Bond was set at $20,000.

The father of NASCAR superstar Robby Gordon was found dead along with a woman believed to be his wife ... inside a Southern California home owned by his son.

Officials say 68-year-old Robert Gordon -- aka Baja Bob -- was discovered inside the home on Wednesday. The body of 57-year-old Sharon Gordon was also found inside the home.

Baja Bob was a famous off-road racer.

Cops told CBS2 in L.A. they believe they are dealing with a murder-suicide. Investigators say they found a weapon inside the home.

UPDATE -- Officers say a rifle was found inside the home.

THE SUPERFIGHT WILL HAPPEN ... because Canelo Alvarez says he WILL fight Gennady Golovkin -- telling TMZ Sports, "It's gonna happen very soon."

Canelo is currently in Dallas gearing up for this weekend's big fight against Liam Smith -- the undefeated WBO light middleweight champion. If he can emerge victorious, GGG will be waiting on the other end.

"There's no doubt about it that fight's gonna happen," Alvarez told us through a translator.

Some critics -- and even other boxers -- have accused Canelo of "ducking" Golovkin.

To that, Canelo says BS.

"I'm 26 years old, I've never ducked nobody. I've fought the best in the world, I've never ran from nobody."

The real reason the Ryan Lochte protesters went to 'DWTS' is because one of their family members got arrested in Rio, and for some reason they're trying to blame Lochte for the mess.

We've learned Justin Sotoodeh McNeil -- nephew and cousin of the 2 stage crashers -- was busted 3 days after Lochte claimed he was held up at gunpoint. McNeil was allegedly selling fake tickets to a Team USA Beach Volleyball match ... according to Brazilian reports.

Cops say he had 51 tickets and a fake ID. He was arrested and indicted for embezzlement and document forgery. He's out now, but authorities are holding his passport until he meets a list of requirements ... including paying a $264 fine.

Sources connected to the family tell us they think Lochtegate made Justin, and other Americans, a target for cops. We're told they deny he did anything wrong.

Lochte's team thinks it's laughable the family's blaming him, when Justin was busted for a felony -- not to mention the 2 guys getting arrested this week at 'Dancing.'

Model Victoria Brown got her stretch on ... then stripped down to a bikini and did some splashing around.

The Wilhelmina model and fitness guru looked very flexible in Playa Del Rey. Her workout musta made her a little sweaty though ... because she hopped in the ocean to rinse off afterward.

An expensive BMW registered to L.A. Rams star wide receiver Tavon Austin was involved in a police chase in California on Wednesday and the driver was arrested ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Cops say Dominic Makell -- a longtime friend of the NFL star -- was driving a silver BMW X6 on a California highway. For some reason, cops tried to pull him over ... but Makell allegedly took off.

Eventually, the vehicle came to a stop and Makell was arrested for felony evading an officer and willful disregard. He was hauled to a nearby station where he was booked. Bail was set at $50,000.

We're told Austin's name was listed as the registered owner of the car on the official police report.

We spoke with the Rams and the team confirmed Austin was at practice all day and was NOT involved with the arrest.

We also reached out to Tavon's agent for comment -- so far, no word back.

Actor Duane Martin bobbed and weaved his way out of paying to air the Floyd Mayweather-Andre Berto fight in his restaurant ... according to the company in charge of distributing the bout.

J&J Sports Productions says it had exclusive rights to license Floyd's last fight -- a year ago -- to bars, restaurants, hotels and casinos. But according to a lawsuit, Martin and his restaurant, XEN Lounge, straight-up jacked the feed.

In the docs, J&J says Martin illegally intercepted the feed and showed the fight at the restaurant ... which helped them make a bundle that night.

Depending on the capacity of XEN, it would've cost a few thousand to get the fight on the up and up. Now J&J is suing for damages in excess of $175k.

Oscar De La Hoya vs. George W. Bush????

It happened ... sorta ... and now, Oscar's explaining why he squared off with the ex-President and even gave him a shot to the breadbasket.

NFL superstar Terrell Suggs says his children are his world and he would NEVER neglect them or treat them poorly -- despite scathing allegations from his estranged wife.

TMZ Sports spoke with Terrell's rep, Denise White ... who says the claims made by Candace Suggs in a social media video are flat out untrue.

FYI, Candace -- who's in the middle of a nasty divorce with Terrell -- claimed the Baltimore Ravens star is refusing to pay for clothes for their 2 young kids and forces them to go to school without lunch money.

White tells TMZ Sports ... "Terrell takes magnificent care of his children. He is a caring and present father."

"We normally would not respond to such a rant by an ex clearly scorned."

"Terrell is disappointed that his ex would take to social media to try and paint a picture of him as a father who somehow does not take care of his children."
