Jazz Make Eye-Catching Move After Walter Clayton Jr.’s Big Game
- Utah Jazz assign Walter Clayton Jr., Taylor Hendricks and Cody Williams to the Salt Lake City Stars amid a mini-break in the NBA Cup.
- Clayton Jr. had 20 points on 66.7% shooting, with two rebounds and nine assists against the Thunder.
- Taylor Hendricks also scored 20 points with five rebounds, showing improvement after a season-ending injury last year.
- The move coincides with a four-day NBA Cup hiatus allowing extra development time for the three players.
- Jazz will not travel to Vegas for the NBA Cup, allowing the main roster to rest while the trio develops with the Stars.
- The Stars will have two games before Utah's next matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies, South Bay Lakers, and Stockton Kings.
- The Jazz may elevate all three players back to the main roster after the Stars assignments.
- Jared Koch serves as deputy editor and covers NBA and NFL across outlets, including Bleacher Report and Yahoo.
- The report frames the assignments as part of ongoing development rather than permanent roster changes.
