In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion.

The 7-foot center, a rim protector since his 2022 draft from Gonzaga, turned down two first-round picks from the Pacers at the trade deadline, signaling Utah's intent to keep him. Yet his representatives at CAA push for far more than the Jazz's $25 million annual target, drawing interest from cap-rich teams like the Lakers with $50 million in space. As restricted free agency looms this summer, Utah holds matching rights, but a lucrative offer sheet could force tough choices amid a thin center market.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Walker Kessler dominated early this season with double-doubles and elite blocks before a torn labrum cut him short. Now his camp wants well over $25 million a year, testing the Jazz's commitment.
