According to the Utah Jazz, they have exercised fourth-year rookie-scale team options on Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, and Brice Sensabaugh.

IT WOULD BE EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE if your focus wasn’t beaming onto Utah’s Keyonte George at the moment. Lauri Markkanen just assaulted Phoenix for a career-high 51 points on Monday, and appears to be back in All-Star form (who could have foreseen?). The Jazz, in turn, have apparently discarded all blueprints for their hole-in-the-ground residence at […]
