The Miami Dolphins hired San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel as their head coach.

McDaniel replaces Brian Flores, who was fired despite posting winning records in the final two of his three seasons in Miami.

Flores sued the NFL, the Dolphins and two other teams last week over alleged racist hiring practices for coaches and general managers, saying the league remains “rife with racism” even as it publicly condemns it.

McDaniel had worked under 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan for the past 11 seasons and gets his first shot as a head coach after only one year as offensive coordinator.

McDaniel was credited for his role in developing San Francisco’s creative running game that featured receiver Deebo Samuel as a running back at times, along with other wrinkles.

Carlos Beltran has been hired by YES Network as a game analyst and is expected to call 36 games.

The 20-year veteran emerged as an intriguing candidate for YES, which was looking to fill a void left when David Cone joined ESPN’s “Sunday Night Baseball” team and Ken Singleton retired.

That opened the door for Beltran, who has been away from the game since he was dismissed as Mets manager in January 2020, less than three months after he was hired, in the wake of the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal. He did not manage a single game.

In his career, Beltran hit 149 home runs, drove in 559 runs, earned three Gold Glove awards and two Silver Slugger awards in seven years with the Mets, and was a key piece of the team’s 2006 NLCS run. He played in parts of three seasons with the Yankees near the end of his career.

Kevin Durant may not actually play in the game, but for the 12th time, he is an All-Star — and for the second time, a captain.

The Nets forward, who is currently sidelined by a sprained MCL, was announced as a starter for the NBA All-Star Game. He was also named a captain for the second straight year as the leading vote-getter in the Eastern Conference.

Durant was putting together an MVP-caliber season before suffering his knee injury in mid-January. In 36 games, he was averaging a league-high 29.3 points to go with 7.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 36.5 minutes.

Coach Steve Nash said that Durant would be reevaluated within the next week, declining to confirm or deny a report that Durant would miss the All-Star Game to continue his rehab.
