DENVER — Draymond Green is keeping in contact with the team, but has mostly stayed away from the Warriors facility as he serves an indefinite suspension, coach Steve Kerr said.“He’s mostly stayed away,” Kerr said on Monday. “He’s been in contact with us and with our training staff. As for the team, he hasn’t been around for games or practices.”Green is having virtual meetings with NBA officials, Warriors officials and his agent, Rich Paul, to begin charting a path back to playing again, ESPN reported.Green began his indefinite suspension on Dec. 13 for hitting Phoenix Suns’ center Jusuf Nurkic in the head.

Why liquor stores are closed on Christmas Day in Colorado

There were no presents, and Christmas Eve dinner was a sandwich, a bottle of water and a banana handed out by the Catholic church to some of the migrants in the town of Álvaro Obregón, in the southern state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala.Migrants spent Christmas night sleeping on a scrap of cardboard or plastic stretched out under an awning or tent, or the bare ground. In the morning, it was waking as usual at 4 a.m., to get an early start and avoid the worst of the heat, walking to the next town, Huixtla, 20 miles (30 kilometers) away.Karla Ramírez, a migrant from Honduras who was travelling with other adults and four children, got to Álvaro Obregón too late Sunday to get any of the food being given out by the church. So they had to buy whatever little they could afford.“It was sad: we have never, ever been in the street...
