Warriors Defender Added to Injury Report Alongside Jimmy Butler ahead of a critical Game 3 matchup against the Houston Rockets. Golden State guard Gary Payton II, dealing with a right shoulder strain, joins Jimmy Butler on the team’s injury list, potentially leaving the Warriors shorthanded in a defensive battle against the Rockets' physical style of play. Payton II, who has fought through multiple injuries this season, has been a key defensive presence off the bench, averaging 3.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 assists in 14 minutes per game during the series. His absence could mean increased minutes for Pat Spencer, who impressed in a surprise appearance after Butler exited Game 2 with a deep glute muscle contusion. While an MRI showed no structural damage for Butler, his status remains day-to-day, with Coach Steve Kerr expressing cautious optimism about his availability for Game 3. Should Butler be sidelined, Jonathan Kuminga may receive another opportunity, though he struggled in Game 2, scoring 11 points on 4-of-12 shooting. Board Member Criticizes Lack of Transparency Amid CVE Funding Issues: Kent Landfield, a founding member of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program, has voiced concerns over the lack of communication regarding the program's future. Landfield revealed he learned through social media that the CVE system, critical for tracking cybersecurity vulnerabilities, was just hours away from losing its U.S. government funding. As the CVE program edges closer to a more independent, global model, issues of transparency and governance are coming under increasing scrutiny. Former Judge Arrested After Alleged Gang Member Found Living at His Home
In New Mexico, former Dona Ana County Magistrate Judge Jose Cano and his wife Nancy were arrested Thursday after federal authorities discovered they had allowed an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member to live on their property for nearly a year. Cano faces charges of tampering with evidence, while his wife is charged with conspiracy to tamper. The individual in question, Christian Ortega-Lopez, had initially been hired to assist around the house but was later offered residence in a studio apartment on the premises. Ortega-Lopez now faces federal charges for illegally entering the country and possessing a firearm. Investigators say they uncovered photos of him and others at a shooting range and found evidence linking him to gang activity, including gang tattoos, clothing, and hand gestures. The arrests are part of a broader federal crackdown on the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which was recently designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization. The cases against the Canos and Ortega-Lopez remain ongoing.
