SALT LAKE CITY — As controversy lingered from the Russell Westbrook and Utah Jazz fan incident at Vivint Arena earlier this week, Royce O’Neale, Thabo Sefolosha, Ekpe Udoh, Jae Crowder and Donovan Mitchell all huddled up once the team landed in Phoenix on Tuesday.
The teammates not only discussed the situation in depth but came up with a plan for the organization to do something special in the wake of the issue. In the end, they decided on wearing shirts that denounced racism during the Jazz’s matchup against Brooklyn on Saturday and the Nets agreed to wear them as well.
