“Derrick had twins. That takes a lot out of you. We want to be careful with guys — not just getting hurt but worn down. … It’s something I’m aware of because our guys play hard.”
HONOLULU — Derrick Favors’ boss did something Tuesday that might make others wish they had a supervisor like his.
Jazz coach Quin Snyder gave Favors the day off — in Hawaii, to boot.
Officially, the Jazz medical staff put Favors on the injury report with a sore right groin.
But Snyder said the primary reason for the excused absence was to give Favors some rest.
