Jazz Had Exploratory Talks At Deadline For Jrue Holiday, Jeff Teague

Mar 22, 2016 12:31 PM

The Utah Jazz explored trade talks at the deadline for both Jeff Teague and Jrue Holiday.

But the talks went nowhere as the asking price of the Atlanta Hawks and New Orleans Pelicans were considered too high for their veteran point guards.

The Jazz remain confident in Dante Exum, who has missed the entire 15-16 season with a torn ACL.

The Jazz could explore acquiring a veteran point guard again in June or July.

Utah ultimately traded for Shelvin Mack at the deadline.

Gordon Hayward Day-To-Day With Plantar Fasciitis

Mar 14, 2016 7:11 PM

Gordon Hayward is day-to-day with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

In consultation with the Jazz medical staff, it has been determined that the best course of action is for Hayward to undergo a period of treatment and rehabilitation. 

Hayward has appeared in all 66 Jazz games this season (all starts), and leads the team in scoring (20.1) and assists (3.7), while adding 4.9 rebounds in a team-high 36.2 minutes per game. He is one of just four players in the NBA averaging at least 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting at least 35.0 percent from behind the three-point line. The 25-year-old career Jazzman was originally selected by Utah in the first round (ninth overall selection) of the 2010 NBA Draft.
