LOS ANGELES — Grayson Allen was one of the last Utah Jazz players to leave the Vivint Arena home locker room, following a 119-98 win against Sacramento on Friday, April 5.
“People be changing quick,” teammate Joe Ingles teased the rookie guard about lingering around late.
“Wow,” Donovan Mitchell chimed in, with Allen smiling boyishly, before a media scrum near his locker. “I didn’t know it was that quick.”
“I wasn’t expecting anything less,” Allen murmured, somewhat embarrassed.
Five days later, the former Duke star was one of the last ones in the locker room again after going off a career-best 40-point performance during the regular season finale overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday.
