sheriff. we are live with an explanation of the case. i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. rains making a return. i'll have a timeline of how soon. coming up. >> i'm larry beil, live at chase center. what an incredible greeting and arrival for klay thompson as the warriors legend gets set to face his old team for the very first time tonight. and we'll show you exactly how the doves completely surprised klay when he arrived. that is coming up. >> always live abc seven news starts right now. >> why isn't this just a simple sign off? yeah, well, it's a very complicated deal. >> in fact, we have a property owned by two separate owners, and one is already in transaction. >> new at six from the i-team. the deal to sell the oakland coliseum complex to the african american sports and entertainment group hit a speed bump today at the board of supervisors. good evening. i'm ama daetz, and i'm dan ashley.

>> thanks for joining us. the board wants more time to consider the sale of the oakland a's 50% share of the complex to this new group of investors. >> i-team reporter dan noyes has been speaking to the parties involved and going through all the documents. >> dan ama and dan the tension is ramping up as ayetsg missed a $10 million payment last week. they did put that money in an escrow account last month, but won't transfer it to the city until they see how the county part of the equation works out. members of the african american sports and entertainment group lined up at the alameda county board of supervisors meeting, urging them to approve an important step for the coliseum project. the team, formerly known as the oakland a's, has agreed to sell its 50% share of the complex to ayetsg, but the board of supervisors has to agree. we just want to move this process to the next step. >> we also want to see if there's an opportunity to set a date to get this completed. >> and we're so thankful to be a part of making history. we're excited about moving this

project forward. >> what ayetsg hoped would be a quick approval process is dragging on supervisors, telling me they hope to bring it to a public vote at the last meeting of the yean december. >> far as timeline goes, i'm pressing for as fast as it can happen. as soon as possible, but that we take the right steps to do it right. that means we're going to take the time to do it right. weeks, not months. >> is there any doubt that it is going to happen? >> in my mind, there's no doubt that there's a great opportunity to have happen. if it doesn't happen, it's a loss. >> but with that uncertainty, the financial partner to acg, loop capital, is withholding a $10 million pre-closing payment that was due last thursday. >> there's some due diligence that has to be completed as well. just some small things in a transaction this large that you just want to dot every i and cross every t. >> there are also problems on the horizon at city hall. council member noel gallo doesn't want to sell the property to the investors at all, but to carry out a joint project with ayetsg, they should ask the alameda county to join

in the investment to develop the land that can benefit both the private industry and also benefit the public. and council member janani ramachandran was surprised when i told her that $10 million payment when it comes, goes into a city escrow, that it can't be spent until the coliseum deal closes on may 30th of next year. so it wouldn't be immediately available anyway, right? >> and that was not what we were told in the first place. this is new information to many of us. >> the coliseum sale will be part of the budget discussion in one week at the oakland city council. clearly, a lot of moving parts, esg, trying to put all the pieces together so they can have total control of the project as it goes forward. >> then it's a complex deal, isn't it? >> clearly a lot more to come along the way as they sort it out. >> thanks, dan. very much. >> we are staying on top of breaking news in san mateo county, where the president of the deputy sheriffs association has been arrested by his own

colleagues and now members of the board of supervisors are calling on the county's sheriff to resign. this flurry of activity was set off by the release of an independent report on the department. abc seven news reporter tim johns has looked over that report and is live in redwood city tonight. tim. reporter. >> yeah. ama. two supervisors here in san mateo county held a news conference today to discuss that 400 page report, which i've got right here in my hands. this report is a result of the county obtaining an independent investigator back in july to look into sheriff christina corpus after dozens of complaints from both current and former members of her office. now, this investigation involved interviews with about 40 different people. it found that out of 15 allegations investigated, 12 of them were believed to have been substantiated. now, among other things, the report accuses sheriff corpus and fisher, who serves on her executive team, of having a personal relationship since 2021. it also includes accusations of

intimidation, retaliation and conflicts of interest running rampant throughout her office. and guys, i want to play you a little clip of some of what we heard from the supervisors regarding this report this afternoon. >> it's clear that we have a sheriff that we cannot trust. this independent investigation lays out the reasons that's the case.ut the >> the integrity of our office. >> now, also today, sheriff corpus announced that the head of the sheriff's union, carlos tapia, was arrested for felony grand theft and theft by false pretenses. he has since been released on bond. the supervisors say the firing of tapia today is a distraction from this report being released, and another example of the retaliatory actions of the sheriff's. now, tomorrow, the board of supervisors is going to meet at 4:00 to discuss possible options on how to deal with the sheriff and the release of this report. but the sheriff is expected to make remarks in the coming minutes. in response to all of these accusations. so we, of course, will have all of that info and bring it right back to

you guys. but for now, i'm live in redwood city. tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thanks very much. let's move to election news. it's official. alameda county district attorney pamela price will be recalled. she's likely to step down once the votes are certified. the race wasn't even close. here's a look at the latest vote. 64% in favor of the recall. the recall campaign wants the board of supervisors now to protect their win. members of the group attended a meeting today urging the board to impose a moratorium on all staff dismissals by d.a. price. >> our major concern now is that you know, she is pretty vindictive, and we're so worried that, you know, she would be start firing the people. they are very capable and very experienced. >> the group says it will make a list of recommendations to present to the board of supervisors about who should serve as interim da. the board will likely appoint someone to the position early next year. >> right now, governor newsom is in washington, d.c, to ask his

democratic allies for help in preparation for a second trump term. california legislators plan to hold a special session early next month to quote trump proof the state. abc seven news reporter monica madden joins us live in studio. monica, how is newsom looking to position the state? well, ama, under governor newsom's leadership, california will again be the liberal foil to conservative policies under the trump white house, despite the president elect gaining ground in the state since his 2020 run for office. >> newsom is rapidly rolling out the so-called trump proof policy plan. governor gavin newsom preparing to go on defense against another trump oval office. >> my job is not to wake up every single day and get a crowbar and try to put it in the spokes of the wheel of the trump administration. that said, fourth point. i'm not naive either, and we're pragmatic and we will stand firm. >> in the final days of the biden harris administration, newsom is pleading for help in a tuesday trip to dc. >> so just left the white house,

met with senior officials, met with the president himself, talking about everything we need to do to prepare for this transition, to prepare california, protecting our environmental leadership in california, issues related to health care, disaster recovery, disaster relief, fema funding is a great day at the white house. >> we can expect a lot of litigation in the coming years. >> california filed more than 100 lawsuits against the trump administration from 2016 to 2020. political experts say this is a standard side effect of constitutional checks and of balances, whether it's a republican or a democrat in the white house, where state governments are pushing back and making sure the states don't go too far and the states are pushing back to make sure the federal government doesn't go too far. >> that's all part of the system. the lawsuits and the fighting is actually the design. >> there are limitations on states power over the federal government, but expect blue states to test those limits, just as red states did under the biden administration. >> the first thing california is trying to do is shore up its resources so that it can respond

with lawsuits to policies that directly aim at the state. we don't know exactly which promises trump will follow through on, but california says it's ready to lead the resistance now. >> during trump's last term, california had some big legal wins, like stopping his effort to end the daca program to protect children of immigrants and preventing trump from denying funds to sanctuary cities. we can expect similar battles between the golden state and the white house on issues of immigration, reproductive rights and climate change going forward. dan ama, all right. >> thank you, monica, and happening tomorrow, president biden will welcome president elect trump to the white house. the two have a meeting scheduled in the oval office at 8 a.m. our time. we will bring you the first video in a live special report here on abc seven at abc seven news.com and on the abc seven bay area app. >> all right. happening tonight. you could call it a hero's welcome at the chase center. klay thompson returning for his first game against the warriors with his new team the dallas mavericks and abc seven news

sports director larry beil is live at chase center where there's a lot of excitement tonight. >> larry. >> i'll tell you, dan, this is an epic moment right here. i'm just going to step out because we got steph curry right here warming up. and at the other end klay thompson doing the same. teammates for 13 years. and now on opposite ends of the court i saw steph sneak a quick glance at klay just to see how he was warming up. and then they both went back to their respective routines. but all eyes will be on klay tonight. for those wondering how he's going to react clay's dad michael said the dubs and fans are going to celebrate klay. and then draymond green will commit a flagrant foul on him. i don't expect that to happen. but as you see steph warming up here it was all love for klay earlier this afternoon. i want to show you what a hero's welcome looks like because this was it. about 400 warriors employees gathered for clay's arrival. you could tell he had no idea. he was completely stunned by all the employees cheering for him and

clapping for him. just imagine what that's going to be like with 18,000 fans cheering for him. this promises to be a night we will remember forever. >> be good to see people that you grinded with, obviously, but to me it's just another regular season game in november. obviously there's bigger implications with the nba cup. so that's what's on our mind is in my mind is just to win that. >> he put in a lot of hard work here, a lot of sacrifice for this organization. so it's only right that we just support him and show him a lot of love and get ready to compete with him on the court. it's going to be one of those games tonight. i can feel it. >> i'm looking forward to it. i think we all are. it'll be very emotional. i know our fans are are geared up for it and yeah, i can't wait to see klay. >> you never know what the warriors will have a special video tribute to klay thompson who as you see live warming up. oh he he's actually trying the steph moon ball shots that we see in pregame all the time. i have not seen klay thompson

attempt that in the past. but it's pretty cool with steph on this end of the court. and we told you before everybody in the house tonight will get a klay captain's hat. you can see right here like so so much fun tonight. and i don't know how klay is going to reactt i don't know how steph is going to react i don't know how we're going to react. but this will be one of those nights. people say i was there at chase center. i was there reporting live and we'll have more in sports. larry beil, abc seven sports. >> it's just such a nice thing to do, obviously for klay, but for the fans too. i mean, it's just a really nice gesture. touching. and then they'll try to kill each other on the basketball. >> actually. yeah well i just want to see steph guard klay and klay guard steph just to see that it was fun just to see him warming up on the same side together and kind of sneaking peeks at each other like that. this is going to be really good

tonight. >> thanks sir. >> well the calendar says we have a little more than two weeks to thanksgiving, but some say you should think of it as two days instead. we're going to explain next. >> and the looming deadline to save a century old farmhouse in san jose. tonight, the battle of the past ver

itself san francisco bay oakland international airport. the new name it adopted back in may. the name change has been the subject of a court battle with san francisco accusing oakland of violating trademark and causing confusion among passengers. and no matter what airport you're flying into, people hoping to travel for the holiday should book flights now. if they haven't already. prices are only going to go up and airfares are already 10% higher than last year. that's according to hopper. the number of thanksgiving travelers is expected to set records about 5% higher than last year. if you can book an early morning flight, you'll face, you're less likely to face delays. federal regulations mandate that passengers receive automatic refunds for domestic flights delayed more than three hours, or international flights delayed more than six hours. if your baggage is delayed more than 12 hours, you can receive a refund for your baggage fees. >> with the holidays fast approaching, so are the deadlines to get vaccinated.

the holidays. if you wait till the last minute to get your shots, vaccines don't work immediately. >> they take about a week to two weeks for the person to develop full immune immune responses. and so that's why we always recommend for respiratory virus season that people start getting vaccinated as early as possible in the fall. >> so to get that full immune response in time for thanksgiving, you want to be vaccinated by november 14th for christmas eve and christmas day, two weeks out would be december 10th. if you're traveling for hanukkah, it's best to be vaccinated by december 11th and for new year's eve, the date to get full immunization is by december 17th. but if you miss any of those deadlines, you know, don't let you know. >> timing be a barrier for getting it. you know, gettia vaccine no matter what the time is still better than not getting the vaccine at all. >> and doctors also add that it's okay for patients to get all of those respiratory virus vaccines they're eligible for at one time. >> any time is the right time to get vaccinated, but do expect that you might have some

election and some of the momentum from donald trump's victory seems to have eased. all three indices were down after the trading day. the dow lost 382 points, closing at 43,910. the nasdaq and the s&p each dropped 17. the world's richest man is even richer in the weeks since donald trump's presidential victory, elon musk's personal net worth has soared by about 50 billion. that's because tesla stock is up more than 15% since the election. musk, owner of tesla. twitter. i guess it's x now, right? and space x is now worth $308 billion. musk personally

spent $175 million through his superpac to help elect trump and that investment seems to be paying off in several ways today. trump named musk and vivek ramaswamy, who was once a republican presidential candidate, to lead a new unit, the department of government efficiency. >> huge business to small and mom and pop businesses in san jose's alum rock park. they were given free sets of security cameras today in an attempt to deter crime. it's san jose's pilot safety program in response to escalating public safety concerns, specifically among the immigrant community. >> and unfortunately, when crime happens here in the city of san jose, a lot of times they target, you know, our immigrant community because maybe they're less likely to interact with our police department, and especially now with the presidential elections, there's going to be more of a hesitant hesitation for our immigrant community to reach out to the police department. >> local small business owners say these cameras are critical, and that it signals the city is

listening and invested in their future. >> coming up, a new effort in san francisco to build a better bay area and tackle the city's drug crisis. >> i'm sorry. i couldn't help but notice this. what is that? >> a syringe? >> a syringe with fentanyl. yea. >> see how former addicts are helping current addicts get clea

former addicts in san francisco are being featured in ads to encourage others to seek help as the city launches a new campaign. >> the purpose of this campaign is to educate people that treatment and support services are possible in san francisco to help people with fentanyl, addiction and other substance use disorders. >> the living proof campaign coincides with the expansion of the city's treatment on demand program, and san francisco's health department is often criticized for not doing enough to encourage people into treatment programs. >> so now it's focusing on a different kind of recovery program. abc seven news. building a better bay area

reporter lyanne melendez gives us the full picture. leanne. >> yeah. you know, this treatment on demand is so important because people say, okay, i'm ready. it's happening. what has to happen? right. exactly. let's do it now. and that's very important. not four hours later, not the next day, but now. because the fentanyl crisis has redefined drug overdoses in a way never before seen with other opioids, and san francisco has thrown money, resources, time and energy to not so much solve the problem because it's difficult, but get a handle on the number of deaths caused by fentanyl. last may, we followed the health department's night navigation team as they offered people on the street a consultation with an on call doctor who could prescribe medication and offer treatment to try to get them off fentanyl and other opioids in the mornin. >> can we help you pick up the medicines, or do you want us to try and get them delivered to you? if we can?

>> whatever you can do. yeah. yeah. and one month we have over 300 prescriptions that we were able to prescribe and nine people to rehab a month later. >> the number of accidental overdoses dropped and continued to remain lower so far this year, from january to september 2024, the number of deaths related to an accidental overdose was 504, whereas last year, during the same period the number reached 631. we have also learned that people do want treatment and do want help, and what we have learned from our evening programs is that people are coming into care and stabilizing. but there are still empty beds, meaning people are not showing up at detox or residential treatment programs. that shows taking that first step for treatment is difficult. ask anyone on the street. i'm sorry, i couldn't help but notice this. what is that? >> a syringe. >> a syringe with fentanyl. yeah. we had a candid conversation with abby moh, who

told us she's glad the price of fentanyl has gone up significantly in recent months. that way, she's been able to cut back. >> i do like a $5 thing. i have it a day. yeah, but it's not enough. oh, yeah. five, ten bucks is enough. that's why i like it. it's easier on your body because you don't have to do so much. >> at the moment, she's not ready to seek treatment. how many more are in need of that? i mean, do you have a number? you must have a number of people who are addicted on our streets in fentanyl. >> so we don't have an exact number, a ballpark. we think there are probably several thousand through billboard's the health department is now also counting on others who have been in the trenches to say that recovery is possible. >> people like siobhan allen, once addicted to heroin, who never had a mentor to help during her recovery. she now wants to be that person.

>> for anyone that's struggling with with addiction, you're you tend to like, you tend to isolate, you have shame, and you don't really want to. you don't want to let people know what's going on. eventually, you know you can't hide it any longer. >> could i just say, as a reporter who has been on the streets for a long time, you do get tired of seeing this crisis here on the streets. >> it is. it is. it is a crisis that for those of us who have been working in this field as i have for more than 20 years, the scale and seriousness that fentanyl has brought to our city and our country really has challenged us to do more and to do better and to rethink how we do things. and i think holding the hope and the possibility that this can be different and will be different is what keeps us going. >> and that campaign wants to

direct people to their 24 over seven call center. you call that number and it gives you the option to also connect with a medical professional like we saw with the night team. and that program has been extended because it has been successful. people are using it. yeah. just so heartbreaking. >> it is. >> yeah it is. >> thanks. liane. >> going to the south bay now, there's an effort to save a century old farmhouse and move it to history park in san jose. but as abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey explains, if enough money isn't raised in the next few days, the historic building will be destroyed. >> nearly 1500 homes will soon stand on this land in north san jose. but with progress comes challenge. development is not bad. >> change is not bad. but often we need to just really be careful when we are looking at something that could really cause erasure. >> nestled beyond the fruit tree stands the historic sacagawea farmhouse. preservationists hope to move it elsewhere or it will be destroyed to make room for

development. >> as the valley progresses. which what happens everywhere and buildings get lost, we lose that memory. we lose that collective memory. and, you know, for future generations, they don't really know what was here before. >> sacagawea and his family planted the first fruit trees here around 1900. the home has remained in the family ever since, but japanese american museum of san jose executive director vanessa hatakeyama says not without issue. >> the sacagawea family was one of those 120,000 japanese americans who were forced to abandon their livelihoods, their homes, their businesses to be taken away to remote incarceration camps set up by the us government. >> many lost their homes, but just as sacagawea watched over his neighbor edward seeley's home when in world war one, seeley repaid the favor to ensure the farmhouse rose until they return from the camps. >> i think it's just such a beautiful story of allyship and solidarity at a time when that

was really rare. >> decades later, the family needs allies again. the farmhouse can be moved to historic san jose for $750,000. so this is the area where the house would go? that is correct. >> it will become part of our valley of harsh light section, which takes a look at our agricultural history. >> in san jose, 350,000 more has to be raised before november 15th. hatakeyama is calling on the community to help move the farmhouse to this educational resource space. so this history is never forgotten. >> with change sometimes comes loss and this is one way for us to really fight that erasure. if you'd like to donate to move and save the farmhouse, visit history san jose.org in san jose. >> dustin dorsey, abc seven news. coming up, reading, writing, arithmetic and climate. >> see some high school students in livermore have changed their school curriculum. >> also here. nature at work in the backyard. see how raccoons are changing the landscape and the landscaping. stay with us

fixed up the whole yard, put a lot of work into it and we're so happy. >> that happy transformation from overgrown brush to green and lush, though, was short lived, all thanks to some special guests. they're fighting multiple raccoons, apparently approved of the new landscaping, or at least the grubs and worms to eat underneath the sod, which, after getting put back, would get ripped up time and time again. >> almost every morning for a month, i would go outside and my fiance would either know if they came or not by my mood. when i came back in this sod ripping isn't just at courtney's house. >> it happened at our very own dan ashley's home in walnut creek half a dozen times in the last month. i spoke with a number of raccoon experts who tell me these animals have a keen sense of smell. in fact, they can smell food and trash from miles away. there might be another reason why you're seeing more of them in your neighborhood. >> they're very, very good mothers, and they do teach their young on different things, on

a fiery response to claims of corruption, intimidation and retaliation within the sheriff's office. >> i respect the people of this county too much to just walk away when there is a righteous fight underway. a fight against a good ole boy system in this county that is corrupt. and now they are spreading vicious lies to try to destroy my good name. >> that is sheriff christina corpus. just a few minutes ago, reacting to accusations from two members of the board of supervisors who say she cannot be trusted. they called for her resignation in a media conference a couple of hours ago. all of the claims come ago.after the president of the deputy sheriffs association was arrested earlier today. he's accused of grand theft. among the charges, the board members say the arrest is

meant to distract from a scathing independent review on the sheriff's office. this has been an active evening in san mateo county. the sheriff actually has held two hastily called media briefings to address today's developments. >> global warming is hitting classrooms in the livermorea because of a resolution authored and championed by high school students. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley explored the curriculum changes that are happening because of the kids. >> reporter 13,000 students in the livermore valley joint unified school district are going to become climate literate because four students spearheaded a drive to get the subject baked into the curriculum as part of a resolution. >> climate knowledge is going to be integrated into every single subject in schools. >> this student led idea to build climate literacy into the curriculum was more than a year in the making, culminating last month with the school board passing a resolution. >> the students met with our

teachers union so that we could ensure that the teachers union was supportive of us. looking at additional curriculum. >> we work with the teachers, the administration, the staff, the students to make something that's unique to livermore, like, how can livermore achieve the goal of climate literacy? but any district can do that. >> this isn't about adding a science class, but about integrating climate subject matter in all learning. even in social studies or english classes. >> things like you know, in math class, when you have word problems about carbon emissions or something like that, you know, in computer science class, you're analyzing carbon emission data and things like that. >> students will then meet with city officials to initiate new ideas in real life, like in food waste or electric usage. the quest science center mentored the students. >> the students see this as their number one issue. this matters to them. this is their purpose. >> i think it feels great to do something that doesn't just stop with me, but is going to be impacting the future

generations. >> in livermore, i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> all right. one last check on our weather. >> meteorologist sandhya patel is here tracking rain. this week. sandhya. >> yeah, we've got some coming in tomorrow. >> dan and let's take a look at live doppler seven. we do have a lot more cloud cover than we did earlier today. we did have some sun after the morning fog, and tomorrow afternoon we're going to need those umbrellas. temperatures in the 50s and 60s. it will get breezy as we head towards friday morning. an isolated shower can't be ruled out. notice all the snow coming to the sierra and then sunday afternoon evening is when our next storm comes in here. it could linger into early monday morning, but as of right now it's looking like more of a sunday deal. when you add this all up rainfall up along the north coast over three inches at crescent city, here in the bay area, we're going to be seeing generally under a half an inch of rain, but isolated spots will pick upe now. sierra snow 12in at donner by monday of next week, six inches incline village. we'll take it. we are heading for

thanksgiving in just a couple of weeks and snow should be on the ground. accuweather seven day forecast level one for wednesday, thursday and sunday. in between, you do get a break for part of friday and then on saturday as well. and then early next week we'll get a chance to dry out. >> ama and dan andy. all right, clay returns. >> what a big night at the chase center. sports director larry beil is there. larry, what a great night. >> oh my goodness. loud roar. clay just ran out to cheers from all the fans here. klay thompson returning to face the warriors here at chase center for the very first time. now a member of the dallas mavericks. and we know klay is trying to downplay how special a night this is. but the greeting he received when he arrived this afternoon tells you that's not goi

but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga, like: hazy or blurred vision, so it's hard to see fine details, colors that appear dull or washed out, or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you think you have ga, don't wait. treatments are available. ask a retina specialist about fda-approved treatments for ga and go to gawontwait.com

where we are just anticipating the roar from the crowd when klay thompson takes the court for the very first time to face his old team, the team he spent 13 years with, the golden state warriors, and the greeting he got this afternoon was absolutely epic because the warriors orchestrated this with about 400 staff members wearing their klay captains hats. they

surprised him when he came off the mavericks team bus. and of course everybody knows klay is trying not to overreact to this. just another regular season game. no big deal. nobody here believes that he is a dubs legend. >> i imagine he'll be the exact same guy that i watched for ten years. so he's always aggressive, so i'm sure he's coming out firing and none of us would have it any way different than that. there's an aura about him that connected our fans to him right away, and that's what it takes. that's pretty rare for someone to do all of that and to have that kind of impact. but klay had it, you know it will be a different, different vibe. i think more of a more of a thank you and a goodbye. and you know, everything that you've meant to us. and i think our fans will will give him an appropriate response. we wished that this

had gone forever, that klay would have finished his career with us. but circumstances always dictate these things. and in the end, i think he made the right choice. i think he needed a fresh start. i think he needed a kind of a new set of surroundings and i think that was apparent last year. he was he was not happy. and that was hard to see because he he deserves to be happy >> absolutely. and this is one of those situations as we bring in abc seven's chris alvarez, where a change of scenery probably works well for both parties involved, the warriors as well as klay. you know, you look at the numbers 13 years, four championships, 793 regular season games, two really scary injuries that he came back from. he deserves all the love that he gets tonight. yeah. >> and i think this is going to be one of the more epic nights in the chase center's history. i

was at that game when klay returned after 941 days. the roar of that crowd that night was bigger than anything. even the nba finals or the western conference finals. and tonight, to look at a crowd full of captains hats and watch the pregame warmups, it is quite a scene out here. and one thing to note, steph curry was supposed to speak to the crowd pregame. him and klay talked. they said you know what we're not going to do that. and larry how surreal is this on the opposite side of the floor. that was something that was very unique tonight. >> that was so cool. and i caught steph sneaking a peek like yeah it was like how's klay doing. how's klay doing. but they didn't want to acknowledge each other. so it was kind of this funny moment. and the crowd that was in the building at the time just loved the whole thing. so no pregame speeches from steph or from klay. they don't want all the emotion involved. they'll save that for postgame which they hope the warriors do will be a warriors win. abc seven sports sponsored by smart and final before we go 149 ers note because deommodore lenoir the cornerback just got paid five years $92 million. so good deal for mo as the niners move

on and try to go on a playoff run. it's deafening in here. i'm going to throw it back to you guys. >> yeah because you can hardly hear us. listen to them all i love it. thank you larry that's fantastic. so really excited for klay of course because that must be very meaningful for him. but for the fans it's a closure moment for them. yeah. and we'll hear more from larry tonight at 11. and also tonight on abc seven at eight. dancing with the stars at ten. high potential. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app, and that way you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. we're always with you. all right, that is it for this edition of abc seven news. thank you so much for joining us. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry biel and chris alvarez out at the chase center. we appreciate your time. have a great evening. we'll see you again at 11.
