George had to be helped off the court after attempting a crossover dribble and sliding on his right foot before falling to the floor. The Jazz reported that George suffered a mild knee sprain and would not return.Now, let's take a look at some key takeaways as the Jazz stay undefeated in preseason play.
The early news is assuring, but Jazz fans got a scare at the time of the injury. George is going to miss some time, and it will be pins and needles until there’s more clarity on the extent of the injuryIf Utah needs two players to get off to a fast start to the season, it's John Collins and Jordan Clarkson. Both players are likely not a part of the future and are playing on contracts that are hard to move.
Clarkson scored 13 points on 5-for-10 from the field, while Collins contributed 14 points and seven rebounds. The pair of veterans increasing their trade stock would contribute to Utah’s rebuild. How they play once the season begins will be something to watch.
