Maria Sharapova is skipping the grass-court season and will not try to qualify for Wimbledon tennis championships because she has not recovered from an injured left thigh. She announced Saturday in a posting on her official Facebook account that ‘‘an additional scan’’ showed that the muscle tear she got at the Italian Open last month will not allow her to return to competition yet. Sharapova, a five-time major champion and former World No. 1, recently returned to the tour after a 15-month doping ban. She expects to return to competition for a hard-court tournament on July 31.

Panthers offer Boughner head coaching job

A person with knowledge of the situation said the Florida Panthers have offered their head coaching job to San Jose Sharks assistant coach Bob Boughner. The sides are working through details with the expectation that a deal can be finalized no later than Monday, said the person who spoke to the Associated Press on Saturday on condition of anonymity because the talks are ongoing. Boughner would become the 15th coach in Panthers history, and the fifth since 2011. Florida missed the playoffs last season in a turbulent year, one where coach Gerard Gallant was fired and replaced by then-general manager Tom Rowe. The Panthers have not won a playoff series since 1996 . . . The health of Nashville defenseman Ryan Ellis is in question after he couldn’t finish Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, and the Predators were offering no clues at all for Game 6 on Sunday night. Nashville trails the Pittsburgh Penguins, 3-2. Roman Josi said his defensive partner obviously is a huge part of the Predators’ defense. Ellis had a seven-game points streak this postseason.
