The Utah Jazz granted Jordan Clarkson the chance to play for a contender when they waived him this offseason. Clarkson almost immediately joined the Knicks once he cleared waivers. By doing so, the Jazz not only gave him the chance to contend again, but did something he had wanted to do: play with Jalen Brunson.
During his appearance on Brunson's and Josh Hart's podcast, "Roommates Show," which was reported by The New York Post's Stefan Bondy, Clarkson revealed that while he wanted to play for the Knicks' home crowd, but also added that he wanted to play with Brunson.
