like that. education is key to being able to actualize yourself in life. reporter: jason is a teacher at george washington carver elementary in san francisco, but also a fellow through urban ed academy, a nonprofit that matches young boys of color to mentors that look like them. the goal is for every student have a black male teacher before sixth grade. >> i was the only one in the entire state into college. i went to ucla. i sought it out, african-american studies, that i did not even need for my major. reporter: the executive director of urban ed says there' fellows between san francisco and the oakland public school

utilities, bring your best self to work. reporter: how does a nonprofit pull off free rent in one of the most expensive regions in the world? >> creativity, but most importantly collaboration, big time. reporter: the strategy is to employ black spending power and keep black property owners in the community. >> as expensive as housing is, we are forecasting out how much to spend and we know whoever we partner with will get a good chunk of change, so we are intentional in letting that rest with black folks. there are conversations at the state level around reparations, so this is our a small way of playing a part. reporter: this property has been in martin luther mccoy's family since the 1970's and at one time his father employed hundreds

opinion. >> let's bring in our favorite dr. doc, gary payton missed three months. there is still pain. there is talk about another three months. what is the normal recovery time for these kinds of injuries? >> if you look at nba players in general, they could be out for five months. but about 90% of players do co back. given the fact he may be having residual pain, he has had chronic issues with this going back a couple years. hopefully it is just residual weakness. but he needs more time. i think the numbers are in his favor. but he will continue to have pain. with injections, sometimes you have to look closer. >> i want to touch on that because there was a report he was getting toward goal shot -- toradol shots.

it can be dangerous if you get to money -- too many. his agent said that was not the case. i am not really sure about what was going on there, bu an injury he could play through or do you have to shut it down for a while and op comes back before the playoffs? >> theoretically you could play through it. but the issue is if there is any compromise in your core, it impacts your ability to use lower extremities. what makes him a special player, the explosiveness, would be clearly impacted. and then there is the knee injury. so i they that the right course to take, to keep him on and kee him through rehab, is to get him healthy. >> i will put you on the spot because the audience, not an

audience of all doctors, i will just say that, so 77% saying to go ahead with the trade. what would you do? >> i would keep him. i play the data is good. -- think the data is good. with these injuries, they are not career ending. they could be treated with rehab. i think he could get better. so i think i would definitely keep him. >> the warriors have until tomorrow to make a final decision. he does have his own locker. he has a nameplate. it looks like they are heading that direction but we will see tomorrow. chris: third round of the waste management open from scottsdale. the first fans lined up at 1:00 a.m. here's your the shot of the day from john roman. check out this birdie putt.

two back. it was quite the party, as it always is. the final round is wrapping up just before the super bowl. speaking of the super bowl, andy reid is facing an eagles team that he used to coach. his former assistant is looking to beat kc. and an injury, as well as patrick mahomes. but both are ready to go. >> any individual out there who puts on a uniform, who has an opportunity to play this game, everybody wants to be the best. so, if you take those steps, you need to take advantage of these moments and opportunities. you definitely work harder for these opportunities. >> it will be a great matchup. the eagles have a great football team. they have a historic defense. so it is going to take her best effort. and it will be everywhere.

i'll be relying on my teammates. it will be a great you couldn't ask for a better team to go up against in the super bowl. chris: abc7 sports sponsored by river rock casino. dion: a reminder that you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand through the bay area connected tv app, available on apple tv camus google tv, fire tv and roku. download it now and start streaming for free. that is all the time we have. i'm dion lim
