The 2016-2017 NBA season was a disappointing one for Utah Jazz’s Derrick Favors. His basic stat line says it all: 50 games, 23.7 min/gm, 9.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, .487 FG%, .615 FT%. Consistent knee issues really kept him from being his usual self, as he never looked fully healthy all season.
He actually admitted to his injury issues and expressed some frustration during the season.
can't wait to see what happens when I'm not playing on one leg

He toughed it out and had 2 huge playoff games to help the Jazz advance past the Los Angeles Clippers.
