NBA Trade Rumors: Knicks and Lakers made big pitches for Walker Kessler
According to Marc Stein, the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers tried hard for Walker Kessler at the trade deadline. From Marc Stein’s substack: League sources say that the Knicks were right there with the Lakers in their determination before the trade deadline to try to convince Utah to engage in meaningful Walker Kessler trade talks.
Kessler has cemented his spot in the Jazz's future endeavors. He's spent his third season averaging 11.4 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists on a league-best 72.5% shooting from the field. It's an impressive third-year jump for the 23-year-old, and Utah wants to see more from him.
Keegan Murray scored a season-high 26 points to lead the Sacramento Kings to a 118-101 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. Murray posted his fourth 20-point game of the season and his first since Nov. 24 to help the Kings (30-28) start a four-game road trip with a victory.
The Sacramento Kings enter Wednesday night ... The good news for Utah is that Walker Kessler will be available to play, but the Jazz are set to be extremely shorthanded. For Markkanen, this ...
Kessler is the third player to go 10-for-10 from the floor in an NBA game this season, joining the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Jarrett Allen and the Chicago Bulls’ Mata Buzelis. Allen was 10-for-10 in a 135-116 victory over the Washington Wizards on Oct. 26, and Buzelis went 10-for-10 in a 133-124 victory over the Miami Heat on Feb. 4.
Keegan Murray scored a season-high 26 points and Zach LaVine added 22 to lift the hot-shooting Sacramento Kings to a 118-101 win over the Utah Jazz.
The Jazz lost to the Kings in a game Will Hardy called "weird" — Jordan Clarkson missed a lot of shots, while Walker Kessler made 100% of his. Plus, thoughts on Cody Williams' physical development, and layering actions.
DeRozan, LaVine and Murray were each excellent for the Kings, scoring a combined 67 points between the three. Stuffing the stat sheet on tremendous efficiency (they shot 41.7 percent from long distance through the course of this one), Utah couldn't hold on against a team reloaded and primed for a playoff run.
Jordan Clarkson went 1 of 14 from the field after going scoreless for the first 47 minutes of the game, the Jazz were 1 of 9 in the first half on corner 3s, they started out the night missing their first four free throws and finished shooting just 52.9% from the charity stripe.
