SAN JOSE – The first female athlete to come forward 14 years ago with accusations that San Jose State’s former head athletic trainer sexually abused her during treatment testified against him in federal court Tuesday, saying Scott Shaw “should be held to justice for the things that he did.”She remembers “clear as day” when he “walked his fingers” across her breast and inside her underwear in 2009 to place stimulation pads for shoulder and knee injuries.“When it went into my nipple area,” she said, “I had every alarm going off inside my body.”A former volleyball player also testified late Tuesday, explaining how she was so upset when Shaw massaged the side of her breast for a shoulder injury, she “shot off the table,” ran out of the training room and burst into the double doors of the practice gym where her team was huddling.“I was in shock,” she said of the incident that occurred sometime around 2008. “I said something along the lines of, ‘since w...

It’s a blessing to be in this league and I don’t take that lightly.”Joseph’s team-first mentality and 12 years of NBA experience are part of what made him an attractive free-agent target for the Warriors, who officially signed the 31-year-old to a one-year, veteran minimum contract on July 6.Joseph is expected to be a third-string guard, who will back up Stephen Curry and Chris Paul, similar to the role two-way guard Ty Jerome played behind Curry and Jordan Poole last season. But Joseph said exactly how the Warriors envision he’ll be deployed this season wasn’t the focal point of his conversations with the organization leading up to his signing.In his mind, this season is “all about winning.R...
