Utah Jazz F Thabo Sefolosha rescues woman on Provo River trip

Thabo Sefolosha had a memorable summer -- and not just because of his new two-year deal with the Utah Jazz.

Sefolosha, when asked by reporters after the team's Friday morning practice, revealed that he saved a woman last month from drowning while he and his family were on a rafting trip down the Provo River.

Lori Clark was floating on the river with friends and their children when her tube capsized. She struggled to keep afloat while suffering cuts and bruises from the rocks underneath the swift current. Sefolosha and his family came upon Clark, and the 6-foot-7 Swiss forward lifted her into their raft.
