The Jazz Hit The Road For The First Time This Season

It’s a game of reunions when the Utah Jazz hit the road for the first time this season Friday night against the Sacramento Kings. Tipoff set for 8 p.m. MST.

First and foremost, newly acquired Jazz center Hassan Whiteside returns to California to face his former teammates from a year ago.

Whiteside suited up for the Kings last season, averaging 8.1 points and 6.0 rebounds in 15.2 minutes per game. All of those averages were the lowest numbers he’s posted since he became a full-time starter in 2014 with the Miami Heat.

Wanting to bring in a veteran presence, Sacramento’s brass believed Whiteside would be an ideal fit.
