it's a busy world out there. and we're all in it together. go safely, california. last year, kevin durant left the golden state warriors to join the brooklyn nets and he's taking another member of the doves with him. two time mvp steve nash signed a four-year contract to become the new home of the nets. nash has no official coaching experience but he has served as a consultant since 2016 where he was seen working very close when i kevin durant. i had the pleasure of watching him do several workouts in practice. i've never seen anything like these drills. it is cheer he has some coaching tricks up his sleeve. the nets are k.d.'s team. and the influence likely loomed large. but the two time player of the brooklyn.it will be interesting

how this will translate to the sidelines. the world series match-up? i can tell he's laughing hysterically at that. now, we also know that the pitcher was the member that tested positive for covid-19. fortunately, he's been asymptomatic. no other member of the team has a positive test. he is from houston where the a's were playing when he was testing positive leading to unfair online speculation about how he contracted the virus. the a's have been very clear that no one on the team violated any of their safety protocols. >> these guys are serious about it. and they understand the ramifications. it doesn't surprise me. like i said, it is just unfortunate incident.

>> with everything going on, i feel like this snuck up on us but the nfl season starts one week from today. that game will feature the houston texants and the defending kansas city chiefs. the 49ers revenge tour officially begins in ten days. and george kittle and the 49ers need every last second of that time. missing practice with a sore hamstring and others have been forced to sit out. this combined with the fact their key rookies will have to play their first nfl game without a pre season game makes for an interesting training camp. >> we do have a lot to out rehabbing. we're also inactive. we're always talking. i will say that i loved about it. charlie warner got no pre season games. they don't have a taste of what the nfl is like.

brandon, charlie, a lot of guys that have never made an nfl game. that's one area where they help. >> when tom brady and the patriots parted ways, many thought the domination may be coming to a close. then they sent cam newton to take his place. he was named the starting quarterback and team captain, taking spot left by 18-time captain tom brady. the patriots are looking to make it for 12 consecutive seasons. also, i have a very important update for larry on one of his very favorite people. my mom sherry pratt just had knee surgery. she's resting at hole. she's doing great. she'll see you at cvs probably in a couple weeks. >> i am the biggest sherry pratt fastball probably on the planet. actually, my daughters are. >> this is weird but his mom

used to teach my daughters when they were this big. tell your mom i home she's doing better. >> she's a great teacher. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> beginning tomorrow, alameda county hair salons and barber shops can finally operate indoors. and a number of other business sectors get the green light to move outside. that story at 11:00. not just the crowds and covid. a serious health warning for anyone planning to visit lake tahoe. tonight, holey moley, followed by to tell the truth, and then stay with us for abc7 news at 11:00. >> that had do it for this edition of abc7 news. look for the news any time. thanks for joining us. from all of us here at abc7. have a good night. we'll see you at 11:00.
