ALL STAR GAME STAYS IN SLC

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver “There was no discussion over the past 2 days about moving the All-Star Game from Salt Lake City and we do not anticipate moving the game.”

“Ryan Smith, the principal governor of the team and the Utah Jazz have come out against that legislation, but we find that in our conversation with Ryan we think we can create an inclusive environment for our All-Star Game in Salt Lake City that will be welcoming for all our guests and for the diverse community of Utah as well.”

“As both governor and an avid basketball fan, Gov. Cox is excited for the NBA All-Star Game to come to Utah and looks forward to welcoming the world to this event next year.” – @GovCox
