SALT LAKE CITY — David Stockton was chilling Friday when he received a random call from his agent, Andrew Morrison.
The son of Hall of Fame Utah Jazz guard John Stockton knew something was up, because the two hardly communicate on a day-to-day basis.
“The Jazz want to bring you in on a 10-day contract,” Morrison informed him.
At that moment, excitement immediately filled the 26-year-old’s body as he had to place another call.
“I called Dad, and the family was really excited,” David recalled. “We’re just really happy.”
David then flew to Salt Lake City to sign the deal, a place where he spent most of his childhood, and where his famous father racked up the league’s most steals and assists all-time throughout his illustrious 19-year career.
