The first statement of the NBA preseason was made by the Toronto Raptors, one that came even before Kevin Durant made his unofficial debut with the Golden State Warriors.The Raptors players and coaches linked arms during the playing of the American and Canadian national anthems Saturday night, their statement serving as the latest entry in a widespread series of protests across sports in recent weeks designed to raise awareness of racial injustice and other social problems.Guys were real, guys had sincere feelings, sincere thoughts, sincere things to talk about and concerns, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said before the game. Thats what all this should be about -- to induce conversation.Its an issue that has been addressed by high school, college and pro teams in the U.S. often since San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick first refused to stand for the national anthem in August. The Raptors linking arms may be considered more than symbolic -- theyre the only Canadian-based team in the NBA, and their game against the Warriors was played in Vancouver, British Columbia.The Warriors players and coaches who were on the floor in Vancouver all stood for the anthems as per usual. In Bossier City, Louisiana, so did the members of the Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans, some with their hands over their hearts.Durant took the first shot of the preseason, a step-back jumper from the right side that was well short.

Derbyshire 248 (Hosein 108, Leach 5-60) and 15 for 1 trail Worcestershire 475 for 7 dec by 212 runsScorecard Harvey Hosein scored his maiden County Championship century but Derbyshire were forced to follow on after another impressive performance with the ball by Worcestershire paceman Joe Leach at New Road.Wicket-keeper Hosein registered his fourth successive fifty plus score and reached three figures off 240 balls with his 11th boundary - through midwicket off Ed Barnard.It was a perfect reminder of his potential in the week that Derbyshire signed another potential wicketkeeper, Gary Wilson, from Surrey on a three year contract.But Leach followed up yesterdays century with his fifth five wicket haul of the campaign as Derbyshire were bowled out for 248.Only Hosein and Championship debutant Greg Cork (49) provided prolonged resistance as the Peakites followed on 227 in arrears.Then Leach struck an early blow in Derbyshires second innings to remove Ben Slater as the visitors closed on 15 for 1.The 25-year-old all-rounder is having a season to remember and he has now taken 64 Championship wickets to surpass last years previous best tally of 59 in addition to scoring more than 600 runs in the competition.Derbyshire resumed on 15 for 0 and were immediately on the back foot after Leach removed Billy Godleman and Tom Wood in the space of five balls.He had Godleman caught behind - an excellent take by Ben Cox diving away to his left - and trapped Wood lbw in the same over.Miguel Cummins worked up a ggood head of pace and had Wayne Madsen lbw before Charlie Morris made a double breakthrough.ddddddddddddSlater edged through to Tom Kohler-Cadmore at first slip and the same combination accounted for Alex Hughes and it became 103 for 6 shortly after lunch when Tom Milnes was caught behind.But Cork, son of former England all-rounder Dominic Cork, joined Hosein to frustrate the Worcestershire attack for 33 overs during a seventh wicket stand of 96.Hosein came to immediate prominence when he made his first-class debut against Surrey at The Oval in 2014.He claimed 11 catches to break the Derbyshire record for the most dismissals in a match by a wicketkeeper. It also equalled the world record for dismissals by a wicketkeeper on debutBut here the 20-year-old showed more of his potential with the bat after scores of 52 not out against Gloucestershire and 83 not out and 58 versus Leicestershire in his previous three knocks.Cork was denied his maiden 50 when he pulled Leach into the hands of Joe Clarke in front of square.Hoseins march towards three figures was threatened when Ed Barnard trapped Tony Palladino lbw and bowled Will Davis with successive deliveries.He then survived a run out scare on 97 before going to his hundred and reached 108 before Leach claimed his fifth wicket.Slater departed for the second time in the day when he clipped Leach to Tom Fell at midwicket.
