| | |
Gubernatorial candidate Phil Lyman said he was considering his legal options after losing to Utah Gov. Spencer Cox in Tuesday night’s Republican primary. U.S. Senate candidate Trent Staggs has also yet to concede in his election, won by Rep. John Curtis. The Deseret News unsuccessfully attempted multiple times to obtain comment from Staggs. At his primary election watch party, Lyman said he would not concede the race that night, and would not for a few more days until his team analyzed the election results. Lyman’s attorneys were working on more than one potential route for litigation over the two-path system to get on the primary ballot, he told supporters. A few minutes after The Associated Press called the race for Cox, Lyman said on the phone, “It’s not fair to do that 30 minutes after the polls close.” Read more about how Cox and Curtis responded to their opponents’ lack of concession. |
| The Utah Jazz needed to take the best player available with the 10th overall draft pick on Wednesday night, even if that meant choosing someone who didn’t necessarily fit a positional need for the Jazz. If that player just so happened to also be a versatile wing, it would have been the best case scenario for Utah. Enter Cody Williams. There was no guarantee that Williams was going to be available for the Jazz with the 10th pick. There was buzz for weeks that Williams could be a top-seven selection. Even so, the Jazz were hopeful. Read more about what Williams said about his future with the Jazz.
