Utah Jazz-NY Knicks key matchup: Trey Burke vs hostile Jazz fans

When the Utah Jazz take the court at Vivint Arena on Friday, they’ll be doing so against a couple of familiar faces. The New York Knicks are in town, and with them come former Jazzmen Enes Kanter and Trey Burke.

Once public enemy No. 1 after forcing his way out of town, some of Kanter’s bad mojo has probably dissipated at this point. Burke, however, returns to Salt Lake City with his villain status fully intact.

Back in 2013, the team drafted him No. 9 overall and quickly handed him the reins as starting point guard. Less than two years later, he was in the G-League and boasted a lengthy record of slamming his former squad.
