After opening the preseason with three consecutive road games, the Utah Jazz have finally returned home. The team will play host to the Portland Trail Blazers at EnergySolutions tonight at 7 PM MDT.
Unfortunately, Jazz fans who were hoping to see star point man Damian Lillard in action are going to be disappointed. The former All-Star is sitting out tonight’s game as a precautionary measure after spraining his ankle last week.
Lillard, of course, went to college at Weber State in nearby Ogden, Utah.
So, instead of a returning hero, Jazz Nation can expect to be treated to a heavy dose of C.
