It's been an exciting start to 2022 for Eric Paschall.
Three days in, he welcomed a beautiful baby boy to the world. Four days after that, Paschall was starting for Utah against Toronto.
Despite being tired from his new daddy duties, Paschall dropped a season-high 29 points as a feisty Jazz squad gave the Raptors all they could handle before eventually falling 122-108 on Friday night.
"I've been tired all week. … This little kid has kept me up all week," he said with a laugh.
With Utah missing its top eight players in minutes played this season, it meant that someone would have to step up as the leader.
