San Antonio • Jazz assistant coach Mike Wells dashed out of the locker room pregame, on his way to turn in the team’s official list of active and inactive players.
As he passed rookie guard Grayson Allen stretching out in the hallway, Wells slowed momentarily to tell him, “You’re active tonight!”
“You like that, don’t you?” Wells retorted, before resuming his sprint.
Jazz fans will like it, too, considering they have been actively clamoring for him to see more game time on the NBA level. His minutes with the team have been limited, and he’s recently been assigned to the G League affiliate Salt Lake Stars for a pair of games.
