We’ve said it before here on The J-Notes and I’ll say it again now because, as ever, it continues to be the truth. There are three certainties in life — death, taxes and the Utah Jazz battling a perpetual onslaught of injuries.
Most recently, it’s the team’s point guard position that’s ailing (again). The latest domino to fall in Utah’s banged-up backcourt: starter Ricky Rubio.
Per the team’s most recent injury report, Rubio is doubtful to play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. The 28-year-old is battling left hip tightness; if he can’t suit up, the Jazz will enter the game without a healthy point guard on the roster for the seventh time this season.
