Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes and his wife and Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Malik Jackson have offered to pay for the funeral of a Fort Worth, Texas, woman who was killed in her home by a police officer last week.
Atatiana Jefferson, 28, was taking care of her 8-year-old nephew Saturday when a police officer making a wellness check fired through the window of her home and killed her. The officer was responding to a call about an open door at the residence.
“My wife and I wanted to do something for that family,” Barnes told reporters Thursday. “It was a tragic situation that happened. No one should be killed during a wellness check. But the biggest thing is anytime someone has to go through that, the last thing you want to have to worry about is trying to come up with the money for a funeral.

THINGS we found along the way
The Google Pixel 4 is sure to be one of the best Android phones of the year. Google’s Pixel range offers the slickest software experience you’ll find with an Android device, swift updates, and an excellent camera. It’s probably fair to say that the Pixel 4 is more like an iPhone than any other Android device, but how does it measure up against Apple’s current champion, the iPhone 11 Pro?
The two have a surprising amount in common, but there are some important differences. Let’s dig into the details.
Specs
Performance, battery life, and charging

While both of these phones will run the latest apps and games without complaint and navigation is smooth and stutter-free, Apple’s A13 Bionic is more capable than Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855. It’s significantly faster in most benchmark tests and, while it’s difficult to feel a difference in normal use today, that extra grunt may tell in the long term. The Pixel 4 has 6GB of RAM to the iPhone’s 4GB, but since Android and iOS handle memory management differently, that’s not really indicative of multitasking performance. Suffice to say, both run like a dream.
Apple is adept at squeezing good battery life from relatively low capacity, but Google has disappointed in the past — the Pixel 3 had poor stamina. For some reason, Google has put an even smaller battery in the Pixel 4, so it has a capacity of 2,800mAh to the iPhone’s 3,046mAh. Both offer fast wired charging at 18W and support Qi wireless charging. With more power and better battery life, the iPhone 11 Pro takes the win.
Winner: Apple iPhone 11 Pro

WNBA player Skylar Diggins-Smith took to Twitter recently to express her frustrations with the league after facing criticism for taking the 2019 season off to deal with postpartum depression.
The four-time WNBA All-Star who currently plays point guard for the Dallas Wings, welcomed a son with her husband Daniel in April. Since her son’s birth, Diggins-Smith has focused on retaining her strength, with a strong emphasis on her mental health.
Having no support from your own organization is unfortunate

“The blasts that disrespect of mothers (and our rights) in the WNBA is incredible. I can’t wait until you hear my story FROM ME!” she continued in a now deleted tweet.
