SALT LAKE CITY — Will it be one, two or no Utah Jazz players included on the list of Western Conference All-Star Game reserves, which will be announced Thursday?
It’s been six years since the Utah Jazz have had a player selected for the annual NBA All-Star Game, the longest drought in franchise history.
Since the franchise was born in 1974, the Jazz have never gone more than three years without having a player selected for the midseason game pitting the league’s top 24 players in an East vs. West matchup. From Pete Maravich to Adrian Dantley to John Stockton and Karl Malone to Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams, the Jazz have consistently been represented with all-star players with just a few gaps in between.
