SALT LAKE CITY — Naz Mitrou-Long didn’t hit the court for a single minute of Utah’s 109-104 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday as a DNP-coach’s decision.

However, once guys hit the locker room, the Jazz two-way player was certainly noticeable among teammates.

After Donovan Mitchell’s 36-point performance, he took time to compliment Mitrou-Long on his postgame ensemble, while joking about his own in the process.
