Heartbreaking News: Utah Jazz Head Coach die in a Car Cr……
In his first game since not being dealt away at the NBA trade deadline on Thursday, center Walker Kessler posted a rarely seen set of statistics in the Utah Jazz’s 135-127 overtime loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
In addition to reaching a career high with 22 rebounds, the former Auburn standout had 19 points, four assists and three blocked shots.
In the past five NBA seasons, that set of numbers has been reached by a player in only one other game – the Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis in a 120-109 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 10, 2024.
In 40 games this season, Kessler has averaged 11.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.4 blocks. He leads the NBA with a .710 shooting percentage.
On Friday night, the Jazz overcame a 13-point deficit in the final 5:15 of the fourth quarter, with Kessler scoring five of Utah’s final nine points. But Phoenix’s Grayson Allen sank a 3-point at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.
