SALT LAKE CITY — While Thursday’s Thanksgiving holiday will provide many with a day of relaxation and celebration, the Utah Jazz won’t get time to do either.
The Jazz will have the privilege of flying into one of the busiest cities in the country on Thursday in preparation for their Friday night game against the Los Angeles Lakers. They’re set to depart later in the afternoon, but it won’t leave time for coaches and players to be with family for a traditional Thanksgiving celebration.
Utah head coach Quin Snyder said before his team took on the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday at Vivint Arena that he celebrated the holiday with his family on Tuesday night.
