Utah Ready To Host Indiana Amidst Heavy Hearts

When Utah takes on Indiana Thursday night, it will mark an anniversary of sorts.

Nearly seven months ago, the Jazz faced the Pacers in a regular season game.

For most games during the middle of the season, it's business as usual. But that night in Salt Lake City, there was a massive reason for celebrating more than just the eight-point victory.

It was announced that future first-ballot hall-of-famer Dwayne Wade had purchased a minority stake in the Jazz organization, joining Ryan Smith as co-owners.

"Partnering with Ryan and the Utah Jazz is the perfect fit as we share the same vision and values," Wade said at the time.
