Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 11:03:37 GMT

SACRAMENTO — Lester Quinones has been getting plenty of praise from Warriors’ coaches for his growth since last year. His newfound confidence was on full display in the Warriors’ Summer League opener at the California Classic at Golden 1 Center on Monday night.Quinones scored 10 of the Warriors’ first 18 points in their 100-94 loss to the Sacramento Kings. He scored and moved with conviction. In the first quarter, Quinones hit a pair of 3 pointers and used his 6-foot-5 frame to work his way through contact to get to the rim. He finished the game with 26 points on 5-of-8 shooting from 3 and, on the flip side, was called for two technical fouls and seven personal fouls.The Warriors signed an un-drafted Quinones last year to a two-way contract out of Memphis — he was roommates with since-traded No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman — and grew his game as a versatile backcourt player last season with the Santa Cruz Warriors. With since-traded Ryan Rollins ...

His next pitch was a 95-mph fastball above the zone — a pitch the Giants had been swinging through all night — but this time Sabol smacked it about a...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Saints tight end Foster Moreau says he is in “full remission” from cancer that team doctors discovered in late March.“After a few tumultuous months, I’ve been blessed with the news that I am in full remission from Hodgkin Lymphoma!,” the 26-year-old Moreau posted on social media. “I’m so grateful to everyone who reached out to offer their love and support; our prayers were answered. From here I will continue to live my life as God intended.”Moreau’s signing with the Saints would have come with considerable fanfare in Louisiana even without the unusual and compelling circumstances surrounding his health.
