Four men have been arrested for allegedly burglarizing a sports card store in Burbank early Thursday. Burbank police responded to a call regarding a commercial burglary at Burbank Sportscards, located at 1610 West Burbank Blvd., around 1:30 a.m. A resident contacted authorities after hearing the business’ burglary alarm, accompanied by “banging noises at the back of the business,” according to reports. When officers arrived on the scene, they located a blue truck traveling east on Burbank Boulevard at Front Street at a high rate of speed that failed to yield to police and escaped onto The 5 Freeway. The driver of the truck exited the freeway at Sunland Boulevard and then ditched the vehicle in the 8400 block of Wheatland Boulevard after which a short foot pursuit ensued.

By Matthew Barakat | Associated PressFAIRFAX, Va. — Frozen human embryos can legally be considered property, or “chattel,” a Virginia judge has ruled, basing his decision in part on a 19th century law governing the treatment of slaves.The preliminary opinion by Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Richard Gardiner – delivered in a long-running dispute between a divorced husband and wife – is being criticized by some for wrongly and unnecessarily delving into a time in Virginia history when it was legally permissible to own human beings.“It’s repulsive and it’s morally repugnant,” said Susan Crockin, a lawyer and scholar at Georgetown University’s Kennedy Institute of Ethics and an expert in reproductive technology law.Solomon Ashby, president of the Old Dominion Bar Association, a professional organization made up primarily of African American lawyers, called Gardiner’s ruling troubling.“I would like to think that the bench and the...Kevin Durant injury delays opportunity to play for Bay Area fans live

With another stroke of bad luck, that streak will continue into Monday’s game between the Warriors and Phoenix Suns.Durant sprained his ankle warming up prior to what would have been his home debut for the Suns on Wednesday. He’s set to miss at least three weeks, according to reports, which most definitely rules him out for the game at Chase Center.Durant played the Warriors at Chase Center once during his 1-1/2 year tenure with the Brooklyn Nets, but it was without fans in the stands due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Durant watched from the bench with injuries during Brooklyn’s two other visits to the Bay Area.The Warriors have yet to face the Phoenix Suns since their blockbuster trade with the Nets for Durant at the Feb. 9 deadline.

By Linda Deutsch | Associated PressLOS ANGELES — Robert Blake, the Emmy award-winning performer who went from acclaim for his acting to notoriety when he was tried and acquitted of murdering his wife, died Thursday at age 89.A statement released on behalf of his niece, Noreen Austin, said Blake died from heart disease, surrounded by family at home in Los Angeles.Blake, star of the 1970s TV show, “Baretta,” had once hoped for a comeback, but he never recovered from the long ordeal which began with the shooting death of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, outside a Studio City restaurant on May 4, 2001. The story of their strange marriage, the child it produced and its violent end was a Hollywood tragedy played out in court.Once hailed as among the finest actors of his generation, Blake became better known as the defendant in a real-life murder story more bizarre than any in which he acted.In a 2002 interview with The Associated Press while he was jailed awaiting trial, he bemoane...Jonathan Kuminga suffers ankle injury in warmups, won’t play in Memphis

MEMPHIS — Jonathan Kuminga went down with an ankle injury during pregame warmups and won’t play Thursday night in Memphis. Kuminga rolled his right ankle on a drive to the basket about two hours before tip-off and was seen limping off the floor. Moments later, coach Steve Kerr confirmed the bad news that Kuminga wouldn’t play in the Western Conference semifinals rematch. The injury comes two days after Kuminga rolled his left ankle in the first quarter of Tuesday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kuminga temporarily left the game and was evaluated by a team trainer, but he later returned and had his second-highest scoring night of this season. Kuminga, who started at power forward against the Thunder, went 8 of 11 from the field and made all four of his free throws for 21 points. He also contributed three rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes.
