Salt Lake City, Utah and Waco, Texas may be more than 1,200 miles apart, but the two cities seem intrinsically connected on the basketball court these days. The reason: the Utah Jazz’s inner workings have been increasingly affected by Baylor alums.

Unfortunately, another member of both the Jazz and Baylor families received some bad news over the weekend.
