Donovan Mitchell officially debuted his signature sneaker called the Adidas D.O.N. Issue #1. The acronym takes inspiration from his mantra of "Determination Over Negativity".

Mitchell stated that he wants his line to focus on accessibility. 

"My message with this shoe is that it's for kids ... who believe that they can do anything. I want my story to be told as such -- this was so unexpected for me. You know, it's only my second year in the NBA, to now have a shoe ... I want to help inspire kids so they feel like they can do anything."

Mitchell is the 18th player in the NBA to get his own signature sneaker, showing that companies are emphasizing star potential over market size. 

Mitchell is currently averaging 20.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game this season. His 40.7% field goal percentage is down from his rookie season. 

The Christmas Day late game between the Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers drew a 1.5 metered market rating, the highest rating for that time slot since 2015.

The rating was also 36% higher than last year's Christmas Day late game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves.

In addition, the Lakers-Warriors game this year was the fourth highest-rated Christmas game since 2002. 

Rudy Gobert was ejected with 9 minutes and 13 seconds left in the first quarter as the Utah Jazz defeated the Houston Rockets 118-91.

Gobert was called for a foul on James Harden, his second in the game. He then walked over to the scorer's table and smacked a water bottle in frustration, leading to the ejection.

Gobert was fined $15,000 earlier this week for criticizing the officials. 

The Utah Jazz hit a franchise record 20 3's in a 139-105 home win over the San Antonio Spurs.

At least 10 Jazz players made at least one 3 on the night, with Donovan Mitchell leading the way hitting 4-6 from deep. Kyle Korver added 15 points in 15 minutes, including going 3-4 from 3 in his home debut. 

Mitchell described Korver's confidence as "contagious", while adding that his presence "just gives us spacing and helps everybody.''

Rudy Gobert has been fined $15,000 for public criticism of the officiating.

Gobert made his comments to the media following the Jazz’s 102-100 loss to the Miami Heat on Dec. 2 at AmericanAirlines Arena.
