According to both the Utah Jazz and Deseret News super beat writer Jody Genessy, Gordon Hayward has a low back contusion. As a consequence he will miss tonight's open practice / scrimmage. That's a shame, because it happened in an almost meaningless way when Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum fouled him in transition.
Gordon Hayward is dealing with a low back contusion, so he won't participate in the Jazz's open scrimmage tonight.
