The University of Utah women's basketball team switched hotels last week after what their coach described as "racial hate crimes" in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho ahead of their NCAA tournament game at Gonzaga.
State of play: There were "several instances" of racism after the team arrived Thursday in northern Idaho, Utah head coach Lynne Roberts said during a news conference Monday following the Utes' loss to Gonzaga.
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani said Monday that he's "very saddened and shocked" about his interpreter's alleged theft in his first public remarks on the accusations.
The big picture: Ippei Mizuhara, the interpreter who has been alongside Ohtani since his Major League Baseball debut in 2018, was fired by the Dogers last week after being accused of using funds from the player's bank account to cover gambling debts incurred with an illegal bookmaker.
