JTA Several NBA teams posted messages over the weekend condemning the spike in antisemitic attacks across the US in the wake of the recent Israel-Gaza hostilities.
“We are in the midst of a devastating and appalling rise of antisemitic attacks on the Jewish community in our country,” the Milwaukee Bucks wrote Sunday on their official Facebook account. “These hateful and dangerous acts MUST stop and be condemned.”
The team is partially owned by the Moroccan-Jewish billionaire Marc Lasry and its president of operations, Peter Feigin, is also Jewish. Lasry’s 33-year-old son, Alex, is senior vice president of the team, but he has taken a leave of absence to run as a Democrat for a Senate seat in Wisconsin.

A mildly in depth glance at the Sixers recent trade history By noahflax on May 18, 2021, 1:58pm EDT 57
Since we have some time until we play, I just wanted to do a shallow dive into the deep end of our post-Hinkie trade history. Generally I like to grade trades based on information at the time, but I am going to analyze these trades based on their end effect on the 2020-21 Sixers as they make their title run. I will determine the value of any picks traded or acquired based on the player eventually picked at the spot. For example, the Fultz deal will be counted as a trade for Tatum and Langford. Here we go.
