CHARLOTTE — Grayson Allen entered the game late in the fourth quarter for Alec Burks on Nov. 19 at Indiana’s Bankers Life Fieldhouse with just 4:33 remaining.
With the Jazz already trailing by 24 points to the Pacers when he checked in, a harmony of boos showered the arena every time the former Duke star touched the ball or his name was announced.
The Jazz would go on to lose 121-94, but the rookie guard found humor in the situation as he finished with five points on 2-for-5 shooting.
“It is funny,” Allen recalled.
“The Indiana one was funny because Duke played Indiana (Tuesday night) and so I was kind of reminded of that last year,” he added.
