Utah Jazz rookies get good news ahead of training camp
The Utah Jazz rookies have gotten some great news.
When it comes to the Utah Jazz, most of the noise and rumors of the offseason have settled. While there is still a possibility of the Jazz getting involved with the Damian Lillard situation, most of the noise has quieted down. Now, the team is just waiting for the FIBA World Cup to come to a close so that they can start getting ready for training camp.
Yet, one big news story that hadn’t been resolved yet involved the injuries of the Utah Jazz’s new rookies. The three men, Keyonte George, Brice Sensabaugh, and Taylor Hendricks were all hindered by injuries at some point over the last 10 months. George got hurt during Summer League, while Hendricks got hurt during the offseason. Sensabaugh came into the offseason already injured.
Two of the three young men got good news recently as it has been confirmed that George and Hendricks are fully cleared to return to activity. This means that both men will be ready to go when training camp starts later this fall.
As for Sensabaugh, while he hasn’t been cleared just yet from his bicep injury, he’s also the only one of the three recovering from surgery. A surgery he had just five months prior, so it’s not like it’s been a long time. His bicep is improving but he’s not there yet.
The last thing anyone wants is for any of these three to miss any significant time as we quickly get to the start of the season. They’re too important for the future of the club for their development to be delayed for any real stretch of time.
Having George back from his sprained ankle and Hendricks back from his hamstring strain is good. Hopefully, they’ll soon be joined by Sensabaugh, who continues to rehab his bicep.
