The Utah Jazz were hit with the devastating news that center Walker Kessler has a torn labrum and will miss the rest of the season. It’s a shame, as Kessler had started the season well and looked to be on his way to a career year. He was a big part of Utah’s unexpected 3-4 start that had them thinking play-in instead of tanking.
That may all change now, as they just lost 14 points, 10 rebounds, and nearly two blocks per game. You never want to see injuries to anyone, but there is always fallout.

I don’t want to sound like a bloodthirsty vulture, as injuries are the worst part of basketball, but it’s impossible not to think about how this might affect Utah’s future.
