With their roster virtually set for the 2017-18 season, there’s been little to report on the Utah Jazz player movement front. However, the team continues to work toward improving itself in other areas to prepare for the upcoming year. Most recently with key additions to the training and sports science staff.
On Monday, the Jazz announced their decision to hire former Phoenix Suns performance director/strength coach Mike Elliott as Vice President of Performance Health Care. Two days later, they’ve found a new head athletic trainer in Eric Waters.
Waters previously served in the same role with the Washington Wizards and has been USA Basketball’s lead trainer since 2014.
