Another major sporting event appears it will be making its way to the Bay Area. The Warriors are in position to host their first NBA All-Star Game in 25 years. League sources said a deal to have the Golden State host the 2025 NBA All-Star Weekend in San Francisco is close to being completed, news that was first reported Thursday by The Athletic’s Shams Charania.Details still need to be formalized before the league announces the event. The Bay Area has not hosted the All-Star Game since 2000 when the midseason showcase took place at Oakland Arena, which was later known as Oracle Arena. This season’s All-Star festivities will take place in Indianapolis on Feb. 17 and 18. The Warriors threw their hat in the ring to host next season’s All-Star festivities this summer when they submitted a bid along with Phoenix, Los Angeles and Milwaukee. After months of discussion, the Warriors have come out as frontrunners to welcome the NBA’s midseason showcase.If granted, 202...Gov. Newsom signs fast-food minimum wage bill

Gavin Newsom.When it takes effect on April 1, fast food workers in California will have among the highest minimum wages in the country, according to data compiled by the University of California-Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education. The state’s minimum wage for all other workers — $15.50 per hour — is already among the highest in the United States.Cheering fast food workers and labor leaders gathered around Newsom as he signed the bill at an event in Los Angeles.“This is a big deal,” Newsom said.Newsom’s signature on Thursday reflects the power and influence of labor unions in the nation’s most populous state, which have worked to organize fast food workers in an attempt to improve their wages and working conditions.It also settles — for now, at least — a fight between labor ...A shutdown looms: What you can expect nationally

By Stephen Groves | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The federal government is just days away from a shutdown that will disrupt many services, squeeze workers and roil politics as Republicans in the House, fueled by hard-right demands, force a confrontation over federal spending.While some government entities will be exempt — Social Security checks, for example, will still go out — other functions will be severely curtailed. Federal agencies will stop all actions deemed non-essential, and millions of federal employees, including members of the military, won’t receive paychecks.A look at what’s ahead if the government shuts down on Sunday.WHAT IS A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN?A shutdown happens when Congress fails to pass some type of funding legislation that is signed into law by the president. Lawmakers are supposed to pass 12 different spending bills to fund agencies across the government, but the process is time-consuming.

The NBA has hired Albert Sanders Jr., a Google executive and former associate counsel to President Barack Obama, as its new head of referee operations.He will be an executive vice president, working with Monty McCutchen, the senior vice president for referee development and training. Sanders will report to Byron Spruell, the NBA’s president for league operations.Other than being a fan, Sanders has no extensive basketball or officiating background. But the NBA has experts in those areas, and Sanders’ work in leadership is what made the league want him for this, Spruell said.“I’m not an officiating expert and we don’t expect Albert to be,” Spruell said. “But we expect him to elevate the program with his operations and his strategy background. We know he can do that.”Spruell sees parallels between how the referee operations department will work and how NBA teams are structured. Sanders will essentially be general manager, with McCutchen the coach and a team of assista...Latest news
