The Toronto Raptors have agreed to trade Matt Thomas to the Utah Jazz for a second round pick. The second round pick originates from the Golden State Warriors this season.

The deal presumably allows the Raptors to create a roster spot as part of a trade of Kyle Lowry.

Thomas is averaging 7.4 minutes per game this season and shooting 41.5 percent on three-pointers.

The NBA's joint probe with the Utah Jazz’s independent, outside counsel could not corroborate allegations made by former player Elijah Millsap that Jazz executive Dennis Lindsey made an inflammatory comment in an April 2015 exit meeting.

The investigation was unable to establish that the alleged statement was made.  

As part of the investigative process, all participants involved in the 2015 meeting were interviewed and given the opportunity to provide any relevant evidence, including both Millsap and Lindsey. The investigation also involved other parties who might have been in a position to corroborate the allegation, and the review of meeting notes of the exit interview and other pertinent information.

The Utah Jazz have agreed to sign Ersan Ilyasova for the remainder of the season.

Ilyasova has not yet played in the NBA in the 2020-21 campaign. Last season, he appeared in 63 games for the Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 6.6 points and 4.8 rebounds, while shooting 46.6% from the field and 36.5% from deep.

Utah had a roster spot to fill to get to the NBA-mandated 14 players after previously releasing guard Shaquille Harrison.

Mike Conley has been named to the 2021 All-Star Game as an injury replacement for Devin Booker on Team Durant.

Booker was an injury replacement for Anthony Davis.

This is the first NBA All-Star selection for Conley, who is in his 14th season. He is averaging 16.1 points and 5.7 assists and shooting a career-high 42.2 percent from three-point range in 29 games this season.

Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert have each been fined by the NBA for comments following a 131-123 loss by the Utah Jazz at the Philadelphia 76ers.

Mitchell was fined $25,000 for public criticism of the officiating and his conduct while exiting the court. Mitchell received two technicals and was ejected with 30.8 seconds remaining and then knocked over a water cooler.

Gobert was fined $20,000 for public criticism of the officiating.

Donovan Mitchell said that the Utah Jazz are getting "screwed" by refs following their 131-123 overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

"Now, I'm never ever one to blame a ref, to blame an official -- I can say I could have done more -- but this is getting out of hand. There have been games like this that we've won, there have been games like this that we've lost. But this whole refereeing stuff. ... We're nice, we don't complain, like, we don't get frustrated, we fight through things, and the fact that we continually get ... screwed, in a way, by this. You know?

"We won this game, in my personal opinion. You know? But like I said, I'm going to give them credit. They won. Whatever. Cool. But it's been a consistent thing, and the question is, 'Can we do it? Can we sustain it? Are we for real No. 1? And, yeah the hell we are. And it's getting f---ing ridiculous, that this is what is happening," said Mitchell after the game.

Mitchell received his first technical with 57.5 seconds left in overtime, then was ejected after receiving his second technical with 30.5 seconds left.

The Sixers shot 35 free throws in the game, with the Jazz shooting 19.

Rudy Gobert added that the lack of calls was "disrespectful."

"Our guys are not able to get calls everybody else in the f---ing league gets. We know we are the Utah Jazz, and maybe some people don't want to see us go as far as we can go, but it's disappointing ... I think it's disrespectful, to be honest, to the game of basketball and to our team."

Quin Snyder and Steve Nash have been named the NBA's Coaches of the Month for February.

Snyder led the Utah Jazz to a 12-2 record on the month.

The Brooklyn Nets were 9-4 under Nash in February.
