They weren't the first, but are among the latest teams to suffer a setback.
The 2025-26 season hasn't even started, and yet several devastating injuries have already occurred in the past week. The Houston Rockets have lost Fred VanVleet for the season because of an ACL tear, and the Portland Trail Blazers will likely lose Scoot Henderson to start the season. Now the Utah Jazz are in the same group, as Georges Niang will also miss some time following his latest injury.
