Question: Can the Jazz carry over their post All Star Break momentum from last season? How much does Dante Exum’s season-ending injury affect this?
The Utah Jazz were one of the hottest teams in the NBA after trading Enes Kanter to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rudy Gobert was playing like a stud. Unfortunately, Dante Exum won’t be available this season due to an untimely injury.
But there was little turnover in their roster this offseason and their core is returning, so can we expect them to continue to grow? They haven’t done anything this summer that would say otherwise.
