The Jazz will play on Thanksgiving Day for the first time since 1978.
The Jazz have typically requested home games on the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas in order to give their fans coming home for the holiday a chance to see the team play.
"We thought, you know what, the positive thing is people eat Thanksgiving early enough, and what do you then do Thanksgiving night?" Jazz president Randy Rigby said. "So we thought with it being a late game that really people would enjoy having something to do."
Utah will host the Chicago Bulls in a game televised on TNT.
RealGM Note: Matt Harpring is the only member of the Jazz roster who was alive in 1978.
