For the first time since April 15 (disregarding the pain that is summer league hoops), the Utah Jazz will soon take the court, in uniform, for a legitimate game contested under NBA rules. The team is currently in Honolulu, Hawaii, where it will tip off the 2015-16 preseason in a bout with the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
Oh happy day.
The Lakers come into the game with multiple players nursing injuries. No. 2 overall pick D’Angelo Russell has been hampered by a bone bruise in his right foot and has been limited in practice recently.
