PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns announced Monday the club has acquired rookie guard Sean Singletary from the Houston Rockets in exchange for guard D.J. Strawberry.

"Sean gives us depth at the point guard spot," said Suns President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Steve Kerr. "We like his instincts and his ability to run a team. He also puts a lot of pressure on the ball defensively."

In Singletary, the Suns acquire a 6-foot, 185-point rookie guard, who was the 42nd overall selection (second round) of the Sacramento Kings in June's NBA draft. He was then traded to the Rockets.

A four-year standout at Virginia, Singletary was a three-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference First Team selection.

He finished his career as the only player in ACC history with 2,000 career points, 500 assists, 400 rebounds and 200 steals.

Strawberry was selected by the Suns with the 59th overall pick (second round) of the 2007 draft. In his rookie campaign with Phoenix last season, the 6-5, 201-pound guard averaged 2.2 points in 8.1 minutes, appearing in 33 games.

HAVANA — Fidel Castro on Monday defended the Cuban taekwondo athlete who kicked a referee in the face at the Beijing Olympics, saying Angel Matos was rightfully indignant over his disqualification from the bronze-medal match.

Taekwondo officials want Matos and his coach banned for life from the sport. But Castro expressed "our total solidarity" for Matos and his coach, Leudis Gonzalez.

Matos was winning 3-2 in the second round when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov, and was disqualified for taking more than his one minute of injury time.

Matos angrily questioned the call, pushed a judge and then pushed and kicked referee Chakir Chelbat of Sweden, whose lip needed stitches.

Taekwondo officials called Matos' behavior an insult to the Olympic vision. Matos' coach countered that the match was fixed and accused the Kazakhs of offering him money.

"They had tried to buy his own coach," Castro wrote in his essay published in state media. "He could not contain himself."

Tucson-area golfers Rich Elias, Paul Nolen and Dean Vomacka are tied for second place entering the second round of the PGA Southwest Section championship at Oro Valley Country Club.

The three-day, $20,000 tournament, which pays $6,000 to the winner, is led by Phoenix golfer Jon Stanley, who shot a five-under-par 67 Monday.

Elias, of Torres Blancas Golf Club, Nolen, of the Gallery Golf Club, and Vomacka, of the Stone Canyon Club, all shot 68s on Monday.

The Southwest Section championship is for all non-Tour pro golfers in Arizona and Nevada.
