At least three NBA teams have stopped staying at Donald Trump-branded hotels this season in part to avoid any implied association with the new president-elect, according to league sources.Sources told ESPN.com that the Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks have moved away from Trump hotels in New York City and Chicago, which bear Donald Trumps name through a licensing agreement.Sources say that another Eastern Conference team contracted to stay at the Trump SoHo in New York this season has likewise already decided to switch to a different property in Manhattan when its current contract expires at seasons end and that the Trump association is among the factors for the switch.Seven other teams told ESPN.com on Tuesday that they are still currently scheduled to stay at Trump-branded properties this season.As a matter of privacy, ESPN has chosen not to name those eight teams in total so as not to publicly identify where they will be staying on this seasons trips for games against the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets or Chicago Bulls.Trump does not currently hold an equity stake in the Trump SoHo hotel, but his company still owns and operates the Chicago property.Sources say that the Bucks stayed at the Trump International Tower and Hotel in Chicago on a preseason trip to play the Bulls in early October, but met with complications when they tried to make an 11th-hour cancellation. Milwaukee, sources say, has already made other arrangements for its regular-season road games against the Bulls.The Grizzlies and Mavericks, sources say, have stayed at the Trump SoHo in the past but opted during the offseason to book new New York hotels for this season.Mavs owner Mark Cuban, speaking Wednesday, told the Associated Press that the decision was made months ago. Not recently.Grizzlies coach David Fizdale, speaking after the teams shootaround Wednesday in Los Angeles, insisted that where Memphis stays or doesnt stay is not politically motivated.No truth to that, Fizdale told the Memphis Commercial Appeal on Wednesday. Our decisions as to what hotels we stay in ?are made long before any of this election stuff took place. Its no story?.Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry and Cuban are both high-profile supporters of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who last week lost the race to be the United States 45th president to Trump.Since the election, three prominent NBA coaches -- Detroits Stan Van Gundy, Golden States Steve Kerr and San Antonios Gregg Popovich -- have publicly addressed the unease that they and some of their players feel in the wake of Trumps election, starting with the dismay Van Gundy voiced that the countrys new president, in his words, is openly and brazenly racist and misogynistic and ethnocentric.Van Gundy addressed the ESPN report Wednesday.?I think every teams got to take a look at that, he said. I think teams are getting tuned in a little but politically and everything else. And give the players a great deal of credit on that. Ive been really proud of our own players and the players around the league, that theyre attuned to whats going on and theyre going to stand up for their values. I think thats impressive.?Jabari Parker of the Bucks commended team ownership for its decision.?Im pretty proud for my owner, representing us and representing himself, Parker told USA Today, and not trying to represent our organization with controversy. You dont want to endorse hate; you dont want to endorse racism. You dont want to support controversy.Im really proud we wont be staying there because I couldnt be comfortable being around him and his businesses. I know hes our president. But its just going to take some time. And he hasnt publicly come out with an apology for anyone or for the things he said.And Im connected to all the ideologies he disrespects. I was named after a Muslim. My mother is basically an immigrant because she came from Tonga. Her rights as a woman -- she got less pay. Im black and hes said some controversial stuff about black people. When it comes to me not supporting Donald Trump, its pretty much correlated to the things he has said.ESPN contacted all 30 teams this week to ask about their travel plans in New York and other NBA cities that feature Trump-branded hotels, which include Chicago, Miami, Toronto and Washington.Several teams that have stayed at the Trump SoHo in particular in the past told ESPN that they are not staying there this season but did not specifically attribute the switch to any political reason. Several more said that theyve never stayed at Trump-branded hotels.NBA teams typically make their hotel arrangements for the coming season in August after the league releases the full 1,230-game schedule for the regular season. But formal data detailing where teams stay is not maintained on a leaguewide basis.One travel expert familiar with NBA accounts told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the Trump SoHo has emerged in recent years as an increasingly popular property throughout the league because more teams are coming to New York for two-game trips since the Nets moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn starting with the 2012-13 season.ESPN.com reporters Brian Windhorst, Kevin Arnovitz, Jeff Goodman, Tim MacMahon and Ohm Youngmisuk all contributed to this report.

Paddy Jackson impressed for Ulster as they beat the Scarlets 19-8 at Kingspan Stadium.?Les Kisss side led 11-0 at the break - through a try from Louis Ludik and two penalties from the returning Jackson -- but failed to score any points at all between the 18th and 70th minutes when Jacksons third penalty took the score to 14-3.Ulster -- hit by injuries to Stuart McCloskey and Luke Marshall -- had earlier failed to register on the scoreboard during Jake Balls 35th-minute sin-binning and only Iain Hendersons late try denied the Welsh region a losing bonus point after Will Boydes 75th-minute touchdown had narrowed the score to 14-8.It started badly for the visitors as Rhys Patchell was well wide with a miss-hit fourth-minute penalty attempt but Jackson made no mistake for Ulster with his first attempt six minutes later after some promising attacking down the left flank was illegally halted.Ulster stretched their lead just after the first quarter when Jackson nailed his second penalty after the Scarlets front row were penalised for collapsing a scrum. Then, just before the 20th minute, Ulster struck from deep after a clearance kick from Patchell was fielded by Craig Gilroy.The Ulster right winger threw the ball left to Charles Piutau and the home side worked the ball down the left with McCloskey putting Ludik clear to score in the corner.Jackson missed the difficult conversion and then the home sides scramble defence saved a score from Gareth Davies with another scrum penalty ensuing from the set-piece on Ulsters line. Gilroy then got clear on the right with only a great ccovering tackle from Liam Williams preventing a certain try.ddddddddddddThe Scarlets went down to 14 men with five minutes remaining in the first half when Ball was shown yellow for some illegal work at a ruck but, frustratingly for Ulster there were no further scores and Kisss men went off leading 11-0 at the break.Worryingly for Ulster, Ball then returned to the action without a point being scored against the visitors. Punishment duly came with Patchell getting the Welsh side off the mark in the 47th minute after Robbie Diack was penalised for blocking a quick tap penalty being taken by Gareth Davies.Ulster then turned the screw after a Gilroy take of a high ball but coughed up a penalty under the Scarlets sticks. This gave the Welsh new impetus and only a last-gasp interception from Piutau prevented a try for James Davies.This in turn led to Gilroy racing free down the wing and being taken down by Williams who was deemed not to have taken the Ulsterman late.The game then became disjointed with McCloskey and his replacement Luke Marshall going off injured but Ulster secured a kick-able penalty and with just 10 minutes on the clock Jackson slotted the crucial kick.The Scarlets finally put something together with replacement back-rower Boyde scuttling over in the 75th minute with Patchell hitting the upright with the conversion. But their losing bonus evaporated in the last minute when Henderson crashed over, Jackson missing the conversion.
