The Utah Jazz aren't exactly title contenders, but at least they’ll try to win when and what they can this year. That's a step in the right direction, Tribune columnist Gordon Monson writes.
In those healthy preseason games, Bailey averaged 22.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2 assists per game on 65.5% from the floor and 40% from three-point range. In the regular season, those numbers are 1.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
The Jazz open the season Wednesday night at home, kicking off another year of development, speculation, and hopefully just enough chaos to keep things compelling.
Lauri Markkanen’s 51-point, 14-rebound performance pushed the Jazz to an overtime win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday. To get his first career 50-point game, Markkanen shot 14-for-32 from the field, including 6-of-13 from deep. He also made 17 free throws.
On Wednesday, the Jazz stunned the “Unc Squad” Clippers with a blowout victory, and VJ Edgecombe made history with a 34-point debut. Victor Wembanyama dropped 40 in his season debut, and Anthony Edwards turned in 41.
After a tough last-second loss on Friday at Sacramento, the Utah Jazz return home to host the Phoenix Suns on Monday night in Salt Lake City.
