SALT LAKE CITY — With Mike Conley in Ohio for the birth of his son, the Utah Jazz are turning to seldom-used, undrafted rookie Juwan Morgan to take the fifth spot in the starting lineup for Monday’s Game 1 of their first-round series against the Denver Nuggets.
Who is Morgan? Here are some fast facts.
- Born in Waynesville, Missouri, the 6-foot-7, 232-pound Morgan was a four-year player at the University of Indiana, where he averaged 15.5 points per game as a senior.
- He went undrafted in 2019 but signed with the Jazz soon after.
