As wildfires continued to tear through Southern California communities, having Salt Lake City ready for a catastrophic event isn’t lost on Mayor Erin Mendenhall. The mayor said though the city is prepared with water and resources, the thought of a major fire still keeps her up at night.

While Mark Williams can also send a shot away now and then, his work defensively mostly consists of crashing the boards. The Hornets' big hope at the five only returned from injury a few weeks ago, so going up against another future mainstay in the NBA should be a great test to see if he's fully back.

The 32-year-old shot by Salt Lake City police early Thursday was taken to a hospital in critical condition, making him the fifth person in Utah in less than two weeks to be shot at during a police encounter.
