    COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. J.J. Watt Womens Jersey . -- Olympic ice dance gold medallists Meryl Davis and Charlie White are taking some time off. The most successful duo in U.S. history in the sport will skip the 2014-15 competitive season. The announcement by the Michigan natives four months after winning the Sochi Olympics was not a surprise. Davis and White have skated together for 17 years, winning six U.S. titles, two world championships, five consecutive Grand Prix Final golds, and silver at the Vancouver Games in 2010 before becoming the first Americans to win an Olympic ice dance title. Davis and White did not lose a competition the last two years and also won a bronze medal in the Olympic team event. "Were so grateful for the support weve received through this truly amazing year in our lives," Davis and White said in a statement. "Trying to stay in the present, weve decided not to look too far ahead regarding our competitive careers. Well be taking the 2014-15 season away from competition. We will not make any further decisions until a later date." They have cashed in on their celebrity since the Olympics, with, among other things, Davis winning "Dancing With The Stars," in which White was eliminated in the semifinals. White, 26, and Davis, 27, still plan to do ice shows and tours together. Lonnie Johnson Womens Jersey . With the suspension, Nigeria is unable to take part in any kind of international fixtures.

"Its amazing were in this position," said Conley, who scored 24 points. Marc Gasol added 18 points and 15 rebounds and Mike Miller had 13 points for the Grizzlies, who head to Phoenix for a showdown with the Suns on Monday night. "Theyre playing very well," Conley said of the Suns. "These are the games we get up for." The Grizzlies are 2-0 against the Suns this season, winning by 19 points at home and by eight in Phoenix. "Its going to be a good test to go to Phoenix and play a team that is fighting for the same goal and can get hot really quick," Gasol said. Jodie Meeks led the Lakers with 20 points in their last home game of a miserable season that has included a franchise-worst 55 losses with two games remaining. "Its just a tough year," Lakers coach Mike DAntoni said. "Obviously it went off the rails when everybody was going down with injuries and trades and different things. Management will be on it this summer to get a good roster. Theyll do a good job and hopefully people will stay well and then well see what happens." The Lakers lost their seventh in a row overall and fifth straight at Staples Center. Wesley Johnson added 15 points and 15 rebounds, and Jordan Hill had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
