The Utah Jazz will be without forward Jaren Jackson Jr. for the rest of the season, with the team preparing for him to undergo surgery during the All-Star break.
Jackson is scheduled to have a procedure to remove a growth in his left knee. The surgery will end his season, according to sources.
What it means for Utah
Jackson’s absence removes a frontcourt option from the Jazz rotation as the team moves into the final stretch of the regular season. With the All-Star break serving as the window for the procedure, Utah will now have to navigate the remainder of its schedule without him available.
