With Thanksgiving tomorrow, the Utah Jazz have one last chance to give their fans something to be thankful for, a better chance at Cooper Flagg. Utah is in the bottom five in the league right now and has a chance to solidify that positioning even more as the holiday comes around with a loss to the Denver Nuggets. It appears that there won’t be a lot of players available in this one with an injury report as full as the list of pies I’m going to eat tomorrow.
It’s interesting that Markkanen is out for personal reasons when the reason appeared to be Victor Wembanyama’s knee nearly bending his leg in half the last game.
