The Utah Jazz are entering tonight’s matchup with the Atlanta Hawks in the same way the black knight approached his duel with King Arthur. Dismembered, maimed, and outright incapacitated, Will Hardy will still trot out a handful of players fresh off the bench with the numerous injuries facing his team.
The reasoning for this dramatic opening? A mile-long scroll of names on Utah’s injury report will take the already depleted Jazz and kneecap them even further.
OUT for Utah:
Brice Sensabaugh (illness)
Jordan Clarkson (foot)
John Collins (personal)
Keyonte George (heel)
Taylor Hendricks (out for season)
Elijah Harkless (G-League)
Oscar Tshiebwe (G-League
With this many roster spots opening up tonight, one lucky fan may get to suit up and live the dream of having their ankles snatched by a Trae Young crossover (assuming he suits up for ATL’s road trip to Salt Lake City).
