Utah Jazz waive player to bring roster to 19

SALT LAKE CITY — Taylor Braun was waived by the Utah Jazz on Saturday, but the former North Dakota State player did get a fun parting memory to take with him on the way out of the NBA.

When Dante Exum was injured and fouled in the first half of Friday's game, the Phoenix Suns were allowed to select a Jazz player to go to the free-throw line because the point guard left the game to deal with his hurt shoulder.

Suns coach Earl Watson selected Braun, who quickly checked in and then proceeded to swish the two free throws.
