Warriors make surprising lineup change ahead of Game 2 vs. Lakers

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 11:25:22 GMT

The Warriors made a starting lineup change ahead of Thursday’s Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers. But while removing Kevon Looney was somewhat expected, who they replaced him with was the surprise.It’ll be JaMychal Green starting alongside Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green.Part of the reason for the swap is that Looney isn’t feeling well, the Warriors said before Thursday’s tip, but he’s expected to still play tonight.There was some discussion that Golden State would opt to go small and bring Jordan Poole into the starting lineup for Looney. Instead, JaMychal Green will make just his second start as a Warrior since signing last offseason (Dec. 7 at Utah) and try to provide some added 3-point shooting without sacrificing size.The Warriors may be hoping JaMychal Green can give them a similar impact to what Otto Porter did in 2021-22 as the Warriors stormed their way to an NBA title. He hasn’t been an exact replaceme...

Associated PressLOUISVILLE, Ky. — Two 10-year-olds are among 300 children who worked at McDonald’s restaurants illegally, a Labor Department investigation of franchisees in Kentucky found.Agency investigators found the 10-year-olds received little or no pay at a McDonald’s in Louisville, the Labor Department said.

Antioch police racism could lead to unprecedented mass dismissals in criminal court, county writes $2.2 million check to address problem

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 11:25:22 GMT

The ongoing racist text messaging scandal that has impugned dozens of Antioch officers could shake up the local justice system on a scale never before seen in California history as prosecutors and judges are assessing whether to dismiss hundreds if not thousands of criminal cases and convictions.The problem is so widespread that both the Contra Costa District Attorney and Public Defender’s offices fear buckling under the unprecedented workload. Late last month, the county Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed to help by spending $2.2 million for the hiring of 10 attorneys, five for each agency.Those news hires — who represent the beginning of the widening scandal’s impact on county taxpayers — will work to sort out just how deep the problems at the Antioch Police Department run.“The behavior of these officers has far-reaching consequences and has harmed individuals who may have been unfairly accused or prosecuted,” Supervisor John Gioia said aft...

SAN FRANCISCO — Steve Kerr relayed an ominous stat Thursday, before the Warriors tried to even their conference-semifinals series with the Lakers.“Three of the last four championship coaches have been fired,” Kerr said. “It just happens quickly.

But we’re all aware this is the job we chose.”Also out of a job not long after hoisting the Larry O’Brien Trophy were: Nick Nurse, from the Toronto Raptors on April 21, four years after beating the Warriors in the NBA Finals; and, Frank Vogel, from the Lakers in April 2022, two years after winning the f...
