LOS ANGELES — Draymond Green’s indefinite suspension not only leaves Golden State without a key cog for an undetermined time period, but opens up a defining stretch for the Warriors’ future, general manager Mike Dunleavy said.Green will be around the team for practices while also taking time away to tend to a personal matter that is connected to his recent on-court outbursts, Dunleavy said. Green has now been suspended twice this season, first for five games for putting Minnesota’s Rudy Gobert in a chokehold and, his latest, for hitting Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face with a flailing arm.“The biggest thing to me right now isn’t the punishment, it’s helping him out and giving him assistance,” Dunleavy said at the Warriors’ shootaround on Thursday.The NBA passed down an indefinite suspension with his return to play contingent on completing required work on himself, which Dunleavy said was an agreement between Green and his age...Castro Valley: Witness-turned-murder-defendant released from jail in latest twist during contentious case

Whittle gave statements to police implicating her husband and two other men, then attempted to retract them, refused to testify at the preliminary hearing, and told her husband she wouldn’t take the stand during trial, according to police.Now, Whittle stands alongside three co-defendants — her husband, Kevin Woodruff, a friend named Brian Wu, and a third person, Steve Hanna, aka Richardo Onteveros — all facing charges of murdering Hemmann during a robbery.

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- "I'm sick of the lies. I'm sick of the chaos, and I'm sick of being sick," Frank Somerville said. The former Bay Area TV news anchor said he is done with drinking alcohol and brave enough to admit that he has a problem."I hurt my ex-wife and my kids because of my selfish behavior. That's the hardest one. I did it because I was drinking and I did it because I was a selfish prick," Somerville said.In a one-on-one interview with KRON4 special contributor Pam Moore, Somerville revealed he had an awakening on June 6. It was the day he was arrested in Berkeley twice in less than 24 hours.The former anchor said he was angry when he went to his brother's Berkeley house. The brother called police. After Somerville was released from jail, he returned to his brother's house 3:30 a.m. The police were called again, Somerville was arrested for DUI, and he displayed "objective signs and symptoms of public intoxication," police said.Frank Somerville talks to Pam Moore at his...Stock market today: Wall Street rises again and the Dow reaches another record
