Jazz’s Donovan Mitchell loses some inches as official heights are released

With the Jazz’s release of their 2019-20 opening night roster — and corresponding official heights (without shoes) and weights — on Monday afternoon, most of the Jazz’s players saw some small declines, while a few others made some gains.

Stanton Kidd was among those to get officially shorter, going from 6-foot-6 to 6-5, but considering his name was on that opening night roster, arguably no one on the team made a bigger gain than he did.

The Jazz announced Monday that they had waived French forward William Howard, meaning that Kidd prevailed in the battle for the team’s 15th and final roster spot.
