The Utah Jazz have had a rough go of it on the injury front this season. After Dante Exum tore his ACL in the offseason, Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert both missed significant time, Gordon Hayward and Rodney Hood have struggled with plantar fasciitis and back soreness respectively, and Alec Burks broke his leg.
Slowly, but surely, the team has recovered most of its missing pieces. Although Exum’s return will have to wait until next season, Favors and Gobert are running strong, while Hayward and Hood have battled to stay on the floor despite their aches and pains.
