Russell Westbrook's wife, Nina, took to her Twitter account to tell Fox Sports' Skip Bayless "to stop calling people out of their name."
He replaces Debretsion Gebremichael, whose immunity from prosecution was removed Thursday.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International said Thursday that scores of civilians were killed in a \"massacre\" in the Tigray region, that witnesses blamed on forces backing the local ruling party.
The \"massacre\" is the first reported incident of large-scale civilian fatalities in a week-old conflict between the regional ruling party, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), and the government of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, winner of last year's Nobel Peace Prize.
\"Amnesty International can today confirm... that scores, and likely hundreds, of people were stabbed or hacked to death in Mai-Kadra (May Cadera) town in the southwest of Ethiopia's Tigray Region on the night of 9 November,\" the rights group said in a report.
Amnesty said it had \"digitally verified gruesome photographs and videos of bodies strewn across the town or being carried away on stretchers.\"
The dead \"had gaping wounds that appear to have been inflicted by sharp weapons such as knives and machetes,\" Amnesty said, citing witness accounts.
Witnesses said the attack was carried out by TPLF-aligned forces after a defeat at the hands of the Ethiopian military, though Amnesty said it \"has not been able to confirm who was responsible for the killings\".
It nonetheless called on TPLF commanders and officials to \"make clear to their forces and their supporters that deliberate attacks on civilians are absolutely prohibited and constitute war crimes\".
Abiy ordered military operations in Tigray on November 4, saying they were prompted by a TPLF attack on federal military camps -- a claim the party denies.
The region has been under a communications blackout ever since, making it difficult to verify competing claims on the ground.
Abiy said Thursday his army had made major gains in western Tigray.
Thousands of Ethiopians have fled across the border into neighboring Sudan, and the UN is sounding the alarm about a humanitarian crisis in Tigray.
ZIMBABWE’S top karatekas are confident of a medal haul at the ongoing Q Challenge International Kata Championships being held on a global scale under the auspices of the Mediterranean Karate Alliance. BY FREEMAN MAKOPA The competition is being held virtually and the registration of videos run between November 9-22 and the final result will be announced on December 13. Contestants from all over the world will upload videos of technical demonstrations for evaluation by an international panel of judges during a real time stream. ZKU treasurer George Maphosa confirmed Zimbabwe’s participation, adding that hopes are high that they will scoop more medals at the championships “Our participation in the Q Challenge comes hot on the heels of Zimbabwe’s triumphs in the Online World Kata Championships in September. You may recall an impressive haul of medals scooped there by our athletes, including a gold medal won by Vincent Fambira of ZimNinja Academy. We look forward to our athletes continuing to do the nation proud,” he said. “Historically, it has been our full contact practitioners who have achieved the visible successes in karate internationally. ZKU is delighted to see the semi-contact side of our membership also rising to prominence, especially in these trying times,” Maphosa added. The Zimbabwe Karate Union (ZKU) has risen to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic by focusing on the competitive exploits of its semi-contact affiliates. This will see the country being represented by ZKU athletes in the Q Challenge International Kata Championships to be held in December. ZKU president Stephen Charandura said although COVID-19 affected the sporting discipline, however he said they remain committed to promoting the facets of karate. “Karate is a rich and multi-faceted discipline that promotes self-improvement as much as self-defence. The pandemic has imposed obvious challenges for our full contact affiliates, whose tournaments have had to be called off this year. We remain committed to promoting all facets of karate and are thus excited to see our semi-contact practitioners turning that challenge into an opportunity to shine a light on other aspects of our discipline,” he said. ZimNinja Academy founder and chief instructor Wilfred Mashaya told NewsDay Sport that preparations were proceeding well and optimism is high in the camp. “We are really working hard and training daily as the submission deadline approaches. There is a lot of new talent that we have been developing quietly and are keen to unveil to the world,” he said. Follow Freeman on Twitter @freemanmakopa

WASHINGTON, DC, United States (AFP) - Most Republican lawmakers have yet to acknowledge Joe Biden as America's next leader, a departure from political norms that suggests President Donald Trump retains an iron grip on his congressional flock.
By JOE McDONALD Associated Press BEIJING (AP) — China on Friday became one of the last major countries to congratulate U.S. President-elect Joe Biden, who is expected to make few changes to U.S. policy in conflicts with Beijing over trade, technology and security. China, along with Russia, avoided joining the throng that congratulated Biden last weekend after he and vice presidential running mate Kamala Harris secured enough Electoral College votes to unseat President Donald Trump. 'We respect the choice of the American people,' said a foreign ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin. 'We congratulate Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris.' Wang gave no […]
