Annual trip to Primary Children's Hospital 'put things in perspective' for the Utah Jazz

The little girl, a 4-year-old named Amari, sat in her wheelchair a few feet away from the miniature basketball hoop and swished shot after shot after shot.

“It’s too easy!” Utah Jazz guard Danté Exum said as he rebounded for her.

The little girl’s mother watched and smiled, knowing the past month of their lives have been anything but easy.

“She’s a good shot,” Kristina Cecala said, tears welling up in her eyes. “It’s nice to have some fun in here. This is all new. It’s so hard.”

Amari has been receiving cancer treatments at Primary Children’s Hospital for the past month.
