And the Utah Jazz power forward wants his focus to be on his teammates and making the most of a playoff run the Jazz earned the right to be a part of with Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
The general consensus for much of this season has been that Favors would go elsewhere, either by the NBA’s trade deadline or in July, when he’s free to sign with another team. But Favors has enjoyed this season. He’s regained durability and athleticism after struggling with his health last season. He’s still sometimes frustrated with a role that means he sits out of a lot of fourth quarters, but Favors has been a big part of Utah’s present in a season where the Jazz have rebounded from a 19-28 record to make the playoffs.
