Will Jazz Rookies Play In Summer League?
While Hendricks, George, and Sensabaugh are all on the roster for the Jazz, the team has not yet announced if and when they plan to make their debut at summer league.
Hendricks had a minor hamstring injury during the pre-draft process but said he hoped to play.
“I just had a workout by myself, and there was no pain at all. I would love to play in summer league, but we’re going to take it one day at a time.”
Though they're new to Utah, Taylor Hendricks, Keyonte George, and Brice Sensabaugh all knew each other before being drafted by the @utahjazz.
“It’s great to go through this transition with two other guys, I’m blessed to do it with them.”#TakeNote https://t.co/6KfvAMEe44
