The Utah Jazz are set to clash with the San Antonio Spurs for the second time in just four days, as the Spurs head to Utah for a matchup on Thursday night. This season, the two teams have already faced each other twice, each claiming a victory. The Jazz secured a win back in December, largely thanks to the impressive performance of Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George, who combined for a hefty 57 points. However, the Spurs struck back on Monday with a solid 13-point home victory, powered by a standout 33-point game from Victor Wembanyama. This win reinforced the Spurs’ position as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.
As the teams prepare for the upcoming game, both will be monitoring their respective rosters closely due to injury concerns. For the Jazz, Keyonte George is listed as questionable due to a left forearm strain, while Lauri Markkanen has been ruled out as he is undergoing reconditioning to return to competition. The Spurs will have their own challenges with Jeremy Sochan and Luke Kornet both listed as questionable with illnesses and tightness, respectively, and Devin Vassell out due to a left abductor strain.
Fans looking to catch the action can tune in at 7 p.m. MT at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, with the game being broadcasted on KJZZ and SEG+. As the season progresses, both teams will be looking to solidify their standings, making this rematch all the more exciting for basketball enthusiasts.
