Still, things are much rosier for a Dallas team with a mounting injury list. Playing without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, the Mavericks were crushed 121-87 by the Minnesota Timberwolves on…

Kalani Sitake set his resignation from BYU today It isn’t a secret that BYU doesn’t shell out top dollar for their coaching staff of the biggest revenue sports. A recent column from the Salt Lake Tribune may show exactly how big that disparity is right now though.
