Andrew Wiggins will not play in the Golden State Warriors’ final two games of the regular season in Sacramento and Portland, head coach Steve Kerr said Wednesday in a radio interview.Kerr, while speaking on 95.7 The Game’s Willard and Dibs show, made the timeline clearer after saying Tuesday that there would be “no way” that Wiggins could play within the next few days.That means the Warriors will be without their star forward for two crucial games as they are hoping to lock up a playoff spot and avoid the play-in tournament.The hope is for Wiggins to be ready for postseason play after having missed 25 consecutive games tending to an undisclosed family matter. The 28-year-old returned to Chase Center on Tuesday and did play in a five-on-five scrimmage with his teammates on Wednesday, Kerr said.“He looked good,” Kerr said. “One thing with Andrew is he has that god-given athleticism and he’s one of those guys who doesn’t seem to get tired very easily.”Wiggins said Tuesday t...Oakland 'assassin' sentenced to life in prison

The sentence was handed down by the U.S. District Judge William Alsup on Wednesday.Prosecutors described 41-year-old Rhodes as an "assassin."

"Hitler," of St. Martin Parish, La., was the leader of a racketeering enterprise based in Louisiana. The criminal enterprise engaged in a wide range of crimes, including narcotics distribution, assault, robbery, extortion, extortionate collection of extensions of credit, murder-for-hire, murder, money laundering, illegal firearms possession, dogfighting, and obstruction of justice.The enterprise was led by Etienne, and eve...Manoah, Blue Jays blank Royals 3-0, Guerrero hits first HR

Nueva York (CNN) — Millones de puestos de trabajo podrían eliminarse este año, a medida que la Reserva Federal (Fed) continúa su apuesta por subir las tasas de interés para controlar la inflación. Pero es probable que los efectos de esta acción no repercutan de manera uniforme en toda la economía.La Fed ha tenido cierto éxito: la inflación se ha enfriado por octavo mes consecutivo, según el índice de precios al consumo de febrero. El índice de precios de producción muestra una drástica caída de los precios al por mayor en febrero. Y el indicador de inflación favorito de la Reserva Federal, el índice de precios del gasto en consumo personal, también ha empezado a moderarse.Pero el mercado laboral ha demostrado ser una fuerza formidable, manteniéndose frente a la subida de las tasas destinada a frenar su crecimiento. Tras añadir más de medio millón de empleos en enero, la economía estadounidense sumó 311.000 empleos en febrero, con una tasa de desempleo del 3,6%, justo por encim...“No tengo que tener límites”: grupo de mujeres en el DMV ofrece cursos de piñatas
