Whenever the Jazz lose someone to injury, the team’s mantra is always the same: “Next man up.”
That’s the problem the Jazz face after Raul Neto was diagnosed with a groin strain he suffered during Wednesday’s game against Orlando.
“He plays so hard, he’s going to work to come back, but we can’t rush it,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. “Sometimes when you’re playing, you don’t feel those things exactly when they happen, as the adrenaline kicks in.”
The Jazz say he’ll be re-evaluated early next week, so that means the Jazz will play at least two games without any point guards at all — Dante Exum will also be out due to his ankle sprain, and Ricky Rubio out due to his hamstring strain.
