Many criticize his slight frame and have doubts he can hold his own in the post at the NBA level. His first test, and Summer League debut, came at the Salt Lake City Summer League on Tuesday night and on paper, it was going to be a big test. Literally.

Apple and Google have removed a tactical voting app created by the organization of jailed Kremlin critic, Alexei Navalny, from their respective mobile app stores in Russia.
