Cody Williams Saves Best For Last To Close Summer League
SALT LAKE CITY – Cody Williams continued his strong showing at Summer League despite the Utah Jazz falling to the Chicago Bulls 105-92. Williams scored a team-high 26 points to go with five rebounds in the Jazz’s final summer league appearance. Related: Egor Demin Has Been On Fire At Summer League Cody Williams Closes Summer […]
After a difficult rookie season with the Jazz, Williams looked significantly improved during Summer League, with each performance looking better than the last.
Against the Bulls, the Colorado product blended his best shooting night with improved decision making, well-timed drives to the basket, and strong passing, despite teammates failing to convert assist opportunities.
Second-year draft picks should look like the best players on the floor, and Williams lived up to the hype.
In addition to his 9-17 shooting performance, including 5-10 from three, the sophomore wing added three assists and two steals, further showcasing his well-rounded skill set.
With a deep roster of young players, Williams won’t be guaranteed any specific role during the 2025-26 season, but with a bad showing this summer, his future with the team may have been in doubt.
But after displaying flashes of truly high-level play, Williams is a player the Jazz should feel confident investing more time in.
John Tonje Struggles In Second Appearance
Second-round draft pick John Tonje appeared in only two games during the Summer League and showed two wildly different sides to his game.
In Monday’s performance against the San Antonio Spurs, Tonje scored 16 points on 5-9 shooting, including 4-7 from downtown.
Against the Bulls, Tonje struggled to find the bottom of the net, shooting just 1-9 from the floor, including 0-6 from three.
The Wisconsin product did record six rebounds and two assists, but turned the ball over six times in 22 minutes.
After getting his first shot blocked, Tonje shied away from attacking the paint, and with his three-point shot not falling, he offered little on the offensive end.
The wing will have to commit to getting downhill, trusting his ability to get to the free-throw line, but needs to improve his ball security in the process.
With reports that Oscar Tshiebwe may be heading overseas, Tonje would seem like the most likely candidate to earn the Jazz’s third and final two-way contract.
If that’s the case, expect the 24-year-old to earn significant time in the G League next season as he hones his game.

Kiss cam incident at Coldplay concert highlights the technology's awkward history

The Internet has gone into spasm over the past couple of days over an incident on Wednesday involving a couple caught cuddling on the Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert at Gillette stadium in Foxborough near Boston. Instead of leaning into their embrace when they realized they were on camera, the man and woman abruptly pulled apart. She turned her back on the camera. He ducked. The couple’s embarrassment was compounded by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin’s comment from the stage: “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”
The kiss cam clip went viral on social media, gaining millions of hits on X, TikTok, and Instagram. Sleuths soon identified the couple: He’s Andy Byron, the married CEO of New York-based software development company Astronomer; she’s Kristin Cabot, the company’s head of human resources.
Astronomer announced Friday it had put Byron on leave, replacing him with chief product officer Peter DeJoy. “Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” said the company in a statement on X, adding that its board of directors has initiated a formal investigation into the matter.
On Saturday, Byron resigned, according to a statement from Astronomer.
Meanwhile, the Internet became awash with responses, including fake statements from Byron and Coldplay, as well as countless memes such as one likening the couple to Muppets Fozzie Bear and Miss Piggy.
There have been IRL responses too. The Philadelphia Phillies made fun of the faux pas by screening a video during Friday night’s game on its Jumbotron of its fuzzy green mascot Phillie Phanatic in an embrace with a fuzzy green companion. People can even buy commemorative merch, such as a sweatshirt bearing the slogan – in caps – “I TOOK MY SIDEPIECE TO THE COLDPLAY CONCERT AND IT RUINED MY LIFE.”
Kiss cams: a mostly awkward history
The origins of Kiss cams are unclear. They likely originated in the 1980s with the advent of big video boards being installed at stadiums in California as a way to fill in the gaps in play in professional baseball games. They often elicit delight, such as when former President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn shared a romantic moment before the cheering crowd at an Atlanta Braves game in 2015.
But it’s also true to say the wandering camera has also been the cause of scandal.
A major source of kiss cam controversy has been over the tendency of cams to focus on straight couples, as well as to demean or attack same-sex embraces.
In 2010, for example, the kiss cam at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, the former home of the St. Louis Rams, showed a kiss between two men wearing Arizona Cardinals jerseys, in an apparent homophobic jibe against the rival team.
And in 2015, the New York Mets changed their kiss cam policy after being criticized for promoting homophobia by rallying the crowd to make fun oftwo men appearing on the cam together.
More often though, kiss cam footage isn’t so much scandalous as awkward.
Take the time in 2012, when former president Barack Obama initially failed to respond to the cam while attending a men’s USA National Team vs. Brazil basketball game with his wife Michelle.
“As the crowd urged the couple to kiss, the president held his arm around the first lady and smiled, but didn’t kiss, prompting a wave of boos from the crowd,” reported CNN. “But fans didn’t leave entirely disappointed. Not long after the couple shied away from a PDA, reporters were brought back into the arena to watch as Obama and his wife re-appeared on the kiss cam, this time with the president going in for the smooch.”
Some celebrity couples prefer to avoid kiss cams altogether. Prince William shared this view with the BBC in 2012 while attending the Olympics in London with his wife Kate Middleton. “I was absolutely dreading they were going to come and show myself and my wife,” he said. “That would have been very embarrassing.”
College football isn’t just for the fresh-faced 19-year-olds anymore. Just ask Hawaii linebacker Logan Taylor, who’s entering his eighth year of college football, has three kids, somehow still finds time to hit people and appears in The Athletic’s All-Geezer Team, constructed by Stewart Mandel and Sam Khan Jr. Taylor’s journey started way back in 2018.

College football isn’t just for the fresh-faced 19-year-olds anymore. Just ask Hawaii linebacker Logan Taylor, who’s entering his eighth year of college football, has three kids, somehow still finds time to hit people and appears in The Athletic’s All-Geezer Team, constructed by Stewart Mandel and Sam Khan Jr.
Taylor’s journey started way back in 2018. Since then, he’s played a season at junior college, bounced back from two brutal season-ending injuries, and been named a two-time team captain at Hawaii.
Oh, and in case that wasn’t enough, he and his wife just welcomed their third child this February. That’s right, while most college seniors are figuring out how to do their own laundry, Taylor’s got a full-on family of five.
He even took part in Hawaii’s senior day last fall, thinking his career was finally wrapping up. But thanks to a legal victory involving Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia, Taylor earned an extra year of eligibility for that long-ago JUCO season. “I can’t believe this rule even passed,” he told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Honestly, neither can we.
Now, Taylor finds himself on The Athletic’s beloved “All-Geezer Team,” a lighthearted tribute to the oldest dudes still suiting up on Saturdays. And the standout defender fits right in.
Not only is he a veteran leader in the locker room, he’s also the kind of guy who can break down film while changing a diaper. Talk about multitasking.
Last season, even after the injuries and the mileage, Taylor was still making plays. He collected 52 total tackles, finishing second on the team.
So here’s to Taylor, the diaper-changing, tackle-making, eighth-year linebacker who refuses to call it quits. He might be older than some of his coaches’ assistants, but he’s still out there proving that age really is just a number, especially when you’ve got three little ones and a spouse cheering from the sidelines.

The 2025 Moneyball Pro-Am was back at Holt High School this week, and the Michigan State Spartans continued to shine, displaying the improvement they have all made throughout the offseason.
Whether it was incredible dunks, flashy passes or step-back 3s, the star showed out in front of packed crowds on Tuesday and Thursday night.
On top of that, freshman forward Jordan Scott made his debut on Thursday after missing time with a leg injury.
You can watch some highlights from some of your favorite Spartans below:
Michigan State senior center Carson Cooper spoke on the offseason following his showing on Tuesday. Below is a partial transcript:
On offseason workouts …
Cooper: “Pretty good so far. Right now, we’re kind of getting into the meat and potatoes of the offseason right now in July, kind of mid-July. But it’s going really well. The team chemistry is continuing to grow, and that’s the big thing that coach (Tom Izzo) obviously is harping on, especially from our team from last year.
“But yeah, right now, everything’s good. Obviously, trying to rehab all of our guys that are kind of hurt and all of that. Getting Jesse (McCulloch) back, and Jordan Scott back, and obviously, getting Kaleb (Glenn) back in rehab and getting himself going. But other than that, it’s been pretty well.”
Cooper: “Jesse’s a really mature guy that we have on our team, so he’s kind of understand — he’s kind of been through the wringer I guess, like last year, kind of traveling with us and everything, except just not playing.
“And I think first couple of games, the tempo and all of that is going to be — it might take some getting used to and all of that, but I think, overall, he’s mature enough to really lock in and understand and still be able to take in what coach is talking about during practice and stuff and just taking it in, watching our practice and being able to incorporate that into the games and into our schemes and all of that.”
On if he sees himself getting the green light to shoot from deep …
Cooper: “Yeah, I think so, for sure. Right now, I don’t think my shot was ever broke; I just think we never really saw — it was probably more of the confidence, the comfortability of how I was feeling and all of that.
“But yeah, right now, I feel really good about it, and coach is giving me confidence. He wants me to shoot it just as much as I want to. So yeah, hopefully I’ll be able to knock down one or two every once in a while.”
On having shooters on the team …
Cooper: “I think right now, it’s just finding the good medium between what a good shot and what a bad shot is. I think last year, we might have taken too many bad shots that really hurt our percentage and everything like that, so being able to get our team chemistry good and finding good shots, then we’re going to make more shots. It’s pretty simple.”
On getting newcomers incorporated …
Cooper: “It’s been really good. Obviously, coach is really particular with who he recruits, especially with the new age of basketball. But all of our guys are really — they’re wide-eyed, obviously, but they’re open to learning and they’re open to understanding our schemes and how we play and everything.”

CEBU, Philippines — Top-notch basketball action returns as the 2025 Emil’s Fresh Chicken Fiesta Cup Basketball Invitational tips off tomorrow, Sunday, July 20, at the Barangay Lipata-Linao Sports Complex in Minglanilla, Cebu.
This year, the spotlight shifts to Cesafi’s secondary schools, with top high school teams set to battle it out in one of the highlights of the barangay’s annual fiesta celebration.
Headlining opening day is a double-header, capped by a marquee match between the multi-titled University of the Visayas (UV) Baby Lancers and the University of Cebu (UC) Baby Webmasters at 8:00 p.m.
UV will be coached by Ronald Bucao, while Reggie Licanda calls the shots for UC. Both sides are expected to unveil some of their newest recruits.
The opening game will feature another exciting matchup as UC-Lapulapu-Mandaue takes on the University of Southern Philippines-Foundation (USP-F) Baby Panthers.
The annual tournament, organized by the Oberes family, features eight participating teams split into two brackets.
Bracket A includes UC, the UV Baby Lancers, the USJ-R Baby Jaguars, and the CIT-U Baby Wildcats. Bracket B consists of UC-Lapulapu/Mandaue, Benedicto College (BC) Baby Cheetahs, Cebu Eastern College (CEC) Baby Dragons, and the USP-F Baby Panthers.
The competition follows a single round-robin format, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semifinals.
Emil Oberes serves as the tournament chairman, with his brother Mikey Oberes as vice-chairman.
This marks the first time that the Emil’s Fresh Chicken Fiesta Cup will feature an inter-school format. In past editions, the competition primarily showcased commercial teams.
The annual event also serves as a tribute to its founder, the late Boss Gerry Oberes, the patriarch of the Oberes family.
Alongside the championship trophy and cash prizes, individual awards will be handed out, including selections for the Mythical Five, Season MVP, and Finals MVP.
The tournament is made possible with support from Barangay Captain Primitiva O. Castanares and the Sangguniang Kabataan led by John Nino T. Lucero. /csl
