INDIANAPOLIS — On the last point of the last game of the day during the Utah Jazz’s preseason organized team activities, Raul Neto’s legs were heavy as he pulled his right hamstring.
From then on, it’s been an uphill battle for the Brazilian point guard to work his way back into the Jazz’s lineup.
First, Neto missed training camp then preseason before requesting a practicing rehab assignment with the Salt Lake City Stars of the G League to now finally making his 2018-19 season debut during Utah’s 121-94 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday.
“It’s been long,” Neto told the Deseret News.
