After a busy trade deadline, the Utah Jazz start a new chapter—albeit, without their key addition, Jae Crowder. The Utah Jazz are looking to get their eighth straight victory of the season tonight against the Charlotte Hornets, but they’ll be doing it without some key contributors they’ve had all season.
Rodney Hood and Joe Johnson were traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Sacramento Kings, respectively, yesterday. Rodney Hood, when healthy, was Utah’s second leading scorer. Jae Crowder, who the Jazz just acquired from Cleveland is still waiting to be cleared to play after the trade.
