Injury woes have become pretty commonplace for the Utah Jazz, and as if missing Rudy Gobert, Dante Exum and Raul Neto while being in the midst of losing 13 of the last 16 games wasn’t bad enough, it turns out that there’s further bad news. It was announced shortly before the contest between the Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards that Derrick Favors is out for the game with a right ankle sprain.
This is bad news for the Jazz considering that without Rudy Gobert, they were already short on rim protection as it was. Guys like Ekpe Udoh, Jonas Jerebko and perhaps even Tony Bradley if he gets a surprise nod, will have to step up dramatically if Utah is to have any shot of winning.
