SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Forward Marquese Chriss was waived by the Warriors on Tuesday, providing room for Golden State to sign Damion Lee for the remainder of the season.Lee was in his final days of a two-way contract that allowed him to split time with the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League. Chriss provided a boost for the injury-plagued Warriors after signing as a free agent in late September, but the team faced tough decisions given the constraints of trying to keep two-way players Lee and Ky Bowman. The 22-year-old Chriss, who said his goodbyes following a 111-98 loss at Sacramento on Monday, averaged 7.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 17.7 minutes over 37 games with three starts.___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/tag/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Yes, Dell's wife and the mother of Stephen and Seth showed she also hit a dramatic game-winning shot from deep.Sonya sank a one-handed, half-court shot — that she took underhanded — to beat the clock and help her three-person team topple squads led by her NBA sons and one led by her daughter in a family shootout during a dedication of a refurbished Charlotte community center.And she let her sons know about it. Sonya raced around the court after the ball went through the basket as fans in the crowded center cheered. She danced, taunting her sons as they looked on in amazement while her teammate and husband applauded."I was trash talking with the kids and I said, 'me and your pops, we are going to take this thing from you.'
