NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that while he’s keeping an eye on anti-transgender legislation being passed in league markets, he was convinced by Utah Jazz owner Ryan Smith not to move the 2023 NBA All-Star Game from Salt Lake City in response to HB11. sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 7:43 PM

Mark Followill @MFollowill
Mavs at Detroit in Dallas’ final road game of the regular season. Can finish 23-18 with a win in this game. And Dallas needs 2 wins (or some combo of Mavs wins and Jazz losses adding up to 2) to secure first round home court. Coming up at 6p on BSSW. – 6:50 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz
With this oop, Mike Conley passed Steph Curry for 55th on the all-time assist list.
For every assist the Jazz make this season, Vivint Gives Back will send 1 child to STEM camp.
