The Orlando Magic, undergoing a massive overhaul in which four of last season’s starters have been sent elsewhere, traded center Ike Austin to the Washington Wizards for Terry Davis, Ben Wallace, Tim Legler and Jeff McInnis.

Jeff Van Gundy, who has survived four mostly tumultuous seasons as coach of the New York Knicks, received a contract extensions through the 2002-2003 season after leading the Knicks into the NBA finals.

A freak tornado that hit downtown Salt Lake City left the Delta Center, home of the Utah Jazz and Starzz, with holes in the roof and broken windows on the exterior.
