Jazz To Debut New Starting Lineup After Hendricks Injury
Jazz coach Will Hardy will be forced to make a change to his starting lineup just four games into the season after the team lost forward Taylor Hendricks to a gruesome leg injury.
Midway through the Jazz’s loss in Dallas, Hendricks appeared to slip while running back on offense and fell awkwardly on his right leg.
