The Utah Jazz paid tribute to one of the most influential people in state history on Wednesday night.
In the moments before the Jazz played the New Orleans Pelicans at Vivint Smart Home Arena, the organization held a moment of silence for LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson, who passed away Tuesday night.
Monson was a Jazz fan, and the organization expressed their sadness on his death.
“For me, from the time that I interviewed, you know with the Miller family how important their faith is to who they are and what they do in the community and with the church,” Jazz coach coach Quin Snyder said.
