SALT LAKE CITY — Back on Aug. 18, Jake Lindsey, a guard for the Baylor Bears and the son of Utah Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey, announced via Twitter that he would be redshirting the upcoming season as he recovered from hip surgery.

As it turned out, that announcement was a few months in the making, and on Monday, Lindsey revealed that he will no longer be able to play at all for the Bears.
