Walker Kessler thought he got traded during Team USA call
Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler says he got an unexpected call this summer from head coach Will Hardy and didn’t know what to think.
(via Utah Jazz):
JP Chunga: “Where were you when you got the call that you were going to be involved with USA Basketball?”
Kessler: “Well, I was actually working out at the practice facility in Utah. I was working out, and JZ (Justin Zanik) comes out on the court and says, ‘Walker, stop. I need you to take this call.’ So I was kinda freaking out. I was like, ‘I don’t know what’s about to happen. I’m about to get traded?’ Everything was going in my head, and he said, ‘It’s Coach Will Hardy.’ I was like, ‘Oh, OK.’ So I took the phone, and coach was like, ‘Hey, bud. What you doing?’ I was like, ‘I’m working out coach.’ He was like, ‘Well, just wanna say congrats on making the USA team.’ And I was like, ‘Oh!’ I definitely was kinda speechless, but they voiced their congrats, and here I am.”
