Kyle Korver’s essay on white privilege draws positive reaction from Utah Jazz teammates and organization

SALT LAKE CITY — Kyle Korver was ruled out of Tuesday’s regular season finale against the Denver Nuggets with right knee soreness but was still spotted at the Utah Jazz’s practice facility during shootaround.

Just 24 hours after releasing a candid essay on white privilege for The Players’ Tribune, the NBA community continued to react to his powerful message where he denounced racism — including his teammates.

Rookie guard Grayson Allen was one of the guys who could certainly relate to the message as a fellow Caucasian, but he admitted the conversation wasn’t much different from those in-house in less formal settings, such as brunch or in the locker room.
