LOS ANGELES -- The night after Derrick Rose and two of his friends had sex with his ex-girlfriend, he had a hunch she was going to claim they raped her, the?New York Knicks?star testified Tuesday.Rose said he became suspicious of the woman when she texted later the same day of the alleged early morning attack in August 2013 to say how inebriated she had been and to describe burns she claimed she got on her hands from a fire pit outside his Beverly Hills house. Rose said he believed she was sober and never witnessed any burns the night before.It looked like a setup, Rose said. It turned out to be what I thought.Rose testified for a second day in the $21.5 million lawsuit that claims he and his friends had sex without the womans consent when she was incapacitated from drinking and, possibly, drugs.The woman claims the three entered her apartment and had sex with her while she was blacked out after drinking tequila at Roses rental house earlier and other booze she had before she got there.Rose testified he was raised by a single mother, who was his mentor and had taught him to respect women.When attorney Waukeen McCoy began to ask Rose a question by saying that since his mother had taught him manners, Rose snapped back in a rare display of emotion during otherwise unflappable, matter-of-fact testimony.Was that a joke? he said. Dont be playing on my mom like that, bro.The central issue in the trial is consent, and a lawyer for the woman spent much of his time trying to show that she never agreed to have sex with Rose in the early morning hours of Aug. 27, 2013, not to mention his two friends.Rose said he assumed consent based on their past, a text message she sent out of the blue that morning saying he made her horny and her behavior throughout the day and night.Attorneys for the woman showed video taken of Rose in June testifying at his deposition, in which he said he didnt understand the word consent.When asked by his own lawyer, he said he was nervous at the deposition and he defined consent as both parties being in agreement. He said the woman had consented all the previous times they had sex over an 18-20 month period.ESPN is not naming the woman because it generally does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.Although they had split up a couple of months before, he said he took her suggestive text as offering consent.No is no. Im never going to force myself upon anyone, Rose said. When she sent me texts like that 99 percent of the time it ended up in sex, so what do you expect?The string of text messages the day of Aug. 26 and into early the next morning has been a key feature of the trial, providing a timeline and also helping the woman re-create what she says she blacked out.Three text messages sent by the woman that the defense said it didnt receive until Friday, when Rose was on the witness stand, could get the case tossed out or have it end in mistrial.U.S. District Court Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald blasted the plaintiffs lawyer for being unbelievably careless producing exhibits.Roses lawyers alleged evidence tampering because messages in their clients favor were withheld, including a profane message the woman sent to Rose at 1:36 a.m. in which she referred to him as babe and asked why he didnt have sex with a friend she brought to his house earlier.The womans lawyers said all texts had been disclosed to the defense.Fitzgerald gave the lawyers until Wednesday morning to prove they had been shared with the defense.A mistrial could push a new trial into the NBA regular season, Fitzgerald said.Rose, who missed Saturdays preseason game, said he has permission from Knicks president Phil Jackson to miss the next three preseason games until the trial is concluded.Testimony concluded for the day with Randall Hampton, Roses personal assistant and co-defendant, being called to the stand by the womans lawyer to show inconsistencies and contradictions in their testimony.Hampton said his boss has a poor memory and provided a conflicting account about the evening at Roses house.Hampton said the woman had sex with him and Rose at the Beverly Hills house. Rose testified that the woman initiated trying to have oral sex with him while she was having sex with Hampton.Hampton, however, said Rose initiated that act and then later had sex with the woman on a bed at a poolside cabana.He has a hard time remembering things, Hampton said of Rose, who he said is like a brother to him.When asked if he was concerned about having sex with Roses ex-girlfriend, Hampton said he never saw her as a girlfriend of Roses even though he booked trips for her to visit the point guard in Chicago and Philadelphia.To have sex, Hampton said, thats what I was booking the flights for.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Just a few years ago, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver had a hard time envisioning seeing this day come.He stood outside a Sacramentos new state-of-the-art downtown arena and welcomed Kings fans to the home opener for a franchise many believed was on its way out of town just over three years ago.I think its a borderline miracle from where we were in 2013 to be here in 2016, a year earlier than they originally pledged to have an arena done, Silver said Thursday before the Kings hosted San Antonio in the first regular-season game at the Golden 1 Center. To be done, to be here on opening night with the building completely finished with strong local ownership, its everything a league could hope for.The idea seemed far-fetched back in the spring of 2013 when the Maloof family was poised to sell the team to a group of Seattle investors seeking to move the franchise to the Pacific Northwest.But tech mogul Vivek Ranadive stepped up to buy the team for $534 million and keep it in Californias capital city with a new arena that Silver calls the new standard in the NBA.The 17,500-seat arena is the first professional sports venue powered completely by solar energy, will save about a million gallons of water a year compared to a typical venue of its size, was built with recycled material from the mall that stood at the site before construction began and will get 90 percent of its food and beverages from within 150 miles.It became the first indoor venue to receive LEED Platinum certification -- the highest level of recognition for environmentally conscious buildings.There are other features like the NBAs first 4K ultra HD videoboard -- providing a picture four times clearer than HDD -- and an in-arena app that allows fans to control the temperature at their own seat.dddddddddddd.The arena is part of a $1 billion development project that includes 1.5 million square feet of mixed-use property that will have a hotel, restaurants, retail shops, offices and condos. About $500 million in outside investment is also expected in the area.These are true modern day town halls, Silver said. You can see from the smiles on the fans faces as they were walking in, there was sort of a collective `Wow!Among the most unique features are the airplane hangar doors that can be opened to turn the venue into an indoor-outdoor arena. The team tested it out for parts of three preseason games and saw no measurable differences in temperature, humidity or wind on the court and would like to be able to open the doors during games eventually.The league wants to do additional tests and consult with other teams before coming up with a protocol for when the doors can be open.Because its so new, we want to make sure we get it right, he said. It will probably be a few more weeks. Our hope is it will be done well before this season will be over.Silver also said there is an opportunity for an All-Star game to come here, saying the team has presented a plan to have visitors stay on cruise ships in the Sacramento River delta to make up for a lack of hotel rooms.Sacramento has beaten the odds so many times before, Silver said. Initially at first blush, it was `Wed love to come here but you dont have enough hotel rooms. But there is a true can-do attitude here in Sacramento. ' ' '
