In a story July 21 about the Golden State Warriors signing Jeremy Lin to a contract, The Associated Press, relying on information from the team, reported erroneously that Lin was the first Asian-American player signed by the Warriors since 1947. Raymond Townsend, a Filipino-American, was drafted and signed by Golden State in 1978 and played two seasons with the team, according to the Warriors.
