It’s not unusual for pictures of the Utah Jazz practice facility to show up on Instagram. What was intriguing when one showed up Tuesday was the photographer.
The 33-year-old former Jazzman was slow to cop to it, joking that his Instagram was hacked.
But it was true: That day, Williams — who was traded from the Jazz under a dark cloud in 2011 shortly after Jerry Sloan abruptly retired — stepped foot on Utah’s recently renovated Salt Lake campus on Tuesday. It appeared to be an early step in bridging the gap between Williams and the organization in which he enjoyed his best professional seasons.
