The Utah Jazz announced today that the team has assigned guard Raul Neto to the Salt Lake City Stars, the Jazz’s exclusively owned and operated NBA G League team. Neto, who has been cleared to return to practice, will participate in a closed practice on Tuesday and Wednesday on a rehab assignment as part of his last stage in return to play protocol. This marks the fourth Jazz G League rehab assignment, following Danté Exum’s in March of last season.
Neto (6-1, 179, Brazil) suffered a right hamstring injury, missing the first 13 games of the 2018-19 season.
