The #Big12 announced today that it will issue player availability reports (kind of like injury reports in the NFL/NBA) for football and men's and women's basketball. This is a no brainer move!

#UtahJazz forward Lauri Markkanen had a monster game for Finland at #Eurobasket today against Belgium. 48 points in 25 minutes!!!
He made it clear very early that he came to dominate. These are his first 2 buckets of the game. 🔥🔥🔥

This won't change anything. It will still be a game with little to no defensive effort and both teams will score close to 200 points.

With college NIL spending reaching a new high, the NBA Draft pool is shallower than most years.

What does that mean for the value of the Utah Jazz's two second-round picks?

This is pretty cool! Akwasi Frimpong, who lives in Utah, is the first African to qualify for a 5th World Championships in any winter sliding sport ever. He sat down for an interview with me at his home. We’ll run his story on KSL TV at 6:00 and talk about his dream to make the 2026 Olympics.
