GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers tight end Jermichael Finley plans to have spinal fusion surgery and intends to play football again. Finleys agent, Blake Baratz, said Thursday that Finley has been working with the Packers organization in determining whats best after suffering a neck injury last month in a game against the Browns. Baratz said it was collectively determined that surgery may not be 100 per cent necessary, but is a "proactive measure that should alleviate future risks with regards to a similar episode or re-injury." The statement said Finleys long-term health is the primary concern, and that Finley intends to resume playing again after surgery to be performed by the Pittsburgh Steelers team neurosurgeon. No timeline for surgery was given. The doctor, Joseph Maroon, is experienced in conducting the type of procedure on professional athletes in contact sports, and is confident of a full recovery for Finley, the statement said. "While his return to professional football is a hot-topic conversation, his ability to live a long and fulfilling life with his loved ones is by far and away our main objective," the statement said. Finley and his family said they appreciated the outpouring of support received since the injury. Finley was having good year with 25 catches for 300 yards and three touchdowns when he was hurt. Finley, who was officially placed on season-ending injured reserve last week, is a free agent after this year. Pro Football Talk first reported the statement Wednesday.

The Warriors have won seven in a row and remain first in the NBA at 30-5, although, the Portland Trail Blazers and Atlanta Hawks are just 1 1/2 games behind in the standings. Golden State won 16 straight earlier this season. This streak has a ways to go before it threatens that number, but the Warriors are 16-1 at home and havent lost at Oracle since Nov. 11 against the San Antonio Spurs. That home winning streak is at 14 in a row and counting. The Warriors won their seventh in a row on Tuesday night with a 116-105 victory over the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City. Theyve scored 100-plus points during this seven-game run. Stephen Curry had 15 of his 27 points in the third quarter to lead the Warriors. Curry also had 11 assists.

Draymond Green posted 15 points and both Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes added 12 for the Warriors. Marreese Speights and David Lee scored 10 each off the bench. Golden State shot 50.5 percent from the field, but 52 percent from long range. The Warriors committed 10 turnovers to 17 from the Jazz.dddddddddddd. The Heat have won two straight on this five-game road trip, which ends Friday night in Sacramento. After an opening loss in Portland, the Heat swept the LA teams on Sunday and Tuesday. The Heats victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday was far from pristine. Miami prevailed, 78-75, and the 75 from the Lakers was a season-low for a Heat opponent. Mario Chalmers scored 19 points with eight assists to help the Heat to victory. Hassan Whiteside continued his strong play with 15 points, nine rebounds and five blocks for Miami, while Chris Andersen supplied 12 points, eight rebounds and three blocks in the win. I feel good, Whiteside said. I come out with some motivation. Im happy just to be here. We did a really good job on defense. We were aggressive. Dwyane Wade scored four points with five rebounds and five assists in the first half for the Heat before exiting in the second quarter with a strained left hamstring. He did not return. Chris Bosh went 4-of-17 shooting and finished with eight points. The Warriors beat the Heat in South Beach on Nov. 25 and have taken four of the last six meetings.
