The Utah Jazz gave up four-time all-star Donovan Mithell in the offseason and acquired Lauri Markenan, Collin Sexton, and two first-round picks. Their biggest surprise coming out of that trade was the production they’ve gotten from Lauri Markkenan. He went from a third or fourth scoring option in Cleveland to Utah’s #1 scoring option in […]
The Utah Jazz lost yesterday 111-110 to the Brooklyn Nets in what was almost a great second-half comeback. It was their second straight loss in a row with only four games left in the 2022-23 regular season. Currently, the Jazz is 12th in the West, but are only one and a half games back from […]
The Utah Jazz were a playoff-caliber team early on at the start of the season. However, the wins have not been consistent enough after the all-star break and the Jazz have slipped to 12th in the West. They are currently 35-40 this season and that is two and a half games back from 10th in […]
