Stanley Johnson was told shortly after tonight's game that he was not going to be kept on the roster and was understandably upset. But he's already proven he's a legit NBA player and will be defensively helpful. I wouldn't think he'll be teamless for very long at all.

Here's my biggest problem. On national TV Shaq told Donovan Mitchell that he didn't think he could take his team to the next level...purposefully to get a reaction and to hear him say that he's motivated. Like he thought Don wasn't motivated before? That's just stupid.

"You can't cry" is a toxic mantra that continues to be perpetuated. God forbid someone cares or doesn't subscribe to societal versions of what emotions people are allowed to have. It's honestly just sucks that it's 2022 and we're still shaming people for having emotions.

There are a lot of problems with all-star starter voting but especially this. There are a ton of players that don't even take it seriously. There vote counts for 25 percent of the result and I've personally watched them just pick random names to write down in the past.

Again...great news to hear second hand.
I, as well as the other reporters, could walk out of the arena right now and get on a flight and no one would stop us. The fact that we are still here is out of concern for our own safety and that of our families
The Jazz will need to coordinate with Oklahoma and Salt Lake City public health organizations before they can return to Utah, per sources. For now, the team is quarantined in OKC.
