SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — After posting the best regular-season record a year ago, the Utah Jazz are hungry to show they can take another step and contend for an NBA title. The Jazz have evolved from an underdog into a team no opponent takes for granted. Utah will hold training camp in Las Vegas this week ahead of its preseason opener against San Antonio on Oct. 4. The Jazz also drafted Baylor guard Jared Butler with the 40th overall pick. Additionally, all Jazz players, coaches, and staff are vaccinated against COVID-19 ahead of the regular season.
