NEW ORLEANS — This road trip has been a big longer for Shelvin Mack than it’s been for his Utah Jazz teammates.
A lot more special, too.
While the Jazz headed to the Big Easy from Atlanta, Mack parted ways for a day to return home to Lexington, Kentucky, so his old No. 10 jersey could be retired at Bryan Station High School.
“It was definitely fun,” Mack said. “You never know how big it is until you get a few years down the line and you can see it. Right now, I’m just going through the moment, just enjoying it.
