Jaylen Brown, Malcolm Brogdon and Bismack Biyombo have been re-elected as VPs on the National Basketball Players Association’s Executive Committee, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets. They’ll serve new three-year terms, according to the players’ union.
We have more from around the basketball world:
- The Celtics’ Ime Udoka and Jazz‘s Quin Snyder were named Coaches of the Month for February, NBA Communications tweets. Boston had a 9-2 record during the month, while Utah went 8-1.
- In the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the NBA has suspended all activities in Russia, Mark J. Burns of the Sports Business Journal tweets. According to Burns’ source, that includes activities related to content distribution such as digital and broadcast. There is no timeline on when business activities will resume in Russia.
- Forward Roscoe Smith, who has appeared in 149 G League games, has signed in Palestine with Orthodoxi Beit Jala, agent Derek James of Global Pipeline Agency told JD Shaw of Hoops Rumors (Twitter link).
Quin Snyder doesn’t get enough credit for how good a HC he is
Wasn’t he in talks for COTY last year? As Dana pointed out the teams with stark turnarounds are going to be the ones getting nods. That is likely why we don’t hear about him often.
If anything Snyder has been too good. People take the Jazz success for granted, and in some ways rightfully so. Until they do something in the playoffs it doesn’t demand attention.
Be safe over there Roscoe. That sounds like you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel. I hope they pay you something.
