[laughter] it cures just about everything when you win, but not the injuries. the niners got pretty banged up saturday. jimmy and deebo, the latest on their heads, shoulders, knees and toes,

your heart is at the heart of everything you do. and if you have heart failure, entrust your heart to entresto. it's the number one heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists. entresto was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. heart failure can change the structure of your heart, so it may not work as well. entresto helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. and with a healthier heart,

there's no telling where life may take you. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. entrust your heart to entresto.

>> now, abc 7 sports with larry beil. larry: good evening. now they have had some time to rest a bit, the niners are looking ahead to the championship game sunday in l.a. the injury report is not as bad as you might expect, even though the guys were limping off the field on saturday. offensive tackle williams has been playing through pain in his elbow for weeks. now it is his right ankle. the niners would not say if it

is a low or high ankle sprain, but shanahan says we will see how he will feel later this week. deebo samuel, dishing it out but also observing punishment. he took a helmet to his right thigh. he is expected to practice this week. jimmy garoppolo has died and shoulder injuries, but coach has confidence -- jimmy garoppolo has shoulder injuries, but the coach has confidence. >> that is what we h done, we have all enjoyed each other as people, we respect the hell out of each other and our profession, and i think it has allowed everyone to move on and be themselves. it has allowed our team to get better and me to get better and focus on what we should focus on and try to be as good at our jobs as we can. larry: meanwhile the rams are doing all they can to stop their fans from selling nfc championship game tickets to the 49ers fans, who you will recall, filled the stadium in the last

coach mcvay is literally pleading with his fans, knowing he will probably cac of red on sunday anyway. >> do a great job traveling, they have a really loyal fan base, a great tradition and history and it is a short trip. credit to them. they made it difficult where in a lot of instances you are absent in verbal communication if they get as loud as they can. rams fans, hold onto the tickets. it will be much appreciated. our guys are looking forward to putting on a good show. they are a great opponent and we can't wait to be able to do it. don't sell those tickets! [laughter] larry: he is begging. caution is key as the, warriors try to manage klay thompson's sore knee. it kept him out of last night's game with utah. . he is coming back from two major injuries, the a.c.l. and the achilles. while a sore knee is part of the combat process, thompson is questionable for tomorrow. steph curry is just not shooting like the steph we have known for years.

in the last five games, he is 9-16. he is normally over 40%. clearly a downturn. he has been dealing with hand and finger injuries. the shots are not going down. curry refusing to use those injuries as an excuse. >> who gives a [beep] about excuses or anything everyone's to hear about. you either make shots or you don't make shots. so i got to start making shots. that is the temptation of getting in your feelings, like, oh, i am missing every shot. i just will not worry about that and not do anything else. that is not what basketball is about. larry: there is a new steph curry bureau in oakland, with a twist, it is on the side of the ymca parking garage it. has a giant qr code on it. the first people who look at the mural and then go to marcus books in berkeley will receive a free book courtesy of an online retailing company that has a

sponsorship deal with the warriors. seeing more and more of the qr codes used more. did you know that qr codes were developed 25 years ago by a japanese engineer who was trying to track auto parts? and it didn't seem like it out on for the longest time. now in the past three years, everything has a qr code on it. if you need a menu or something like that, the qr code. dan: it is interestingly everywhere now. larry: it is the key. i think one qr code may have 4000 little markers that indicate where an item is. it is complicated actually. dan: it has evolved, from 25 years ago. thanks, larry. ama: coming up tonight on abc 7, at 8:00, the bachelor. followed by promised land at 10:00. then stay with us for abc 7 news at 11:00. that will do it for this edition of abc 7 news. as always, thank you for joining us. i am ama daetz. dan: and i am dan ashley.
