Young's Wizards Host Rebuilding Jazz

0:00For the NBA, it's March 5th, and here's what's going on. Two bottom-feeding teams clashed tonight as the Utah Jazz hit the road to face the Washington Wizards. The Jazz sit at 18 wins and 44 losses, dead last in the Western Conference. The Wizards are 16 and 45, 13th in the East. Tip off a Capital One Arena is 7pm, Eastern time on this back-to-back night for Utah. The big news is, Trey Young's debut for Washington after his January trade. He's been sidelined by a knee and quad injury, but is finally clear to play. The Wizards will miss Anthony Davis with a finger issue. Kishan jures due to an elbow problem, and Alex Tsar with a hamstring strain. Utah has not released its injury report yet. Both squads lack much incentive, this laid in the season, with playoffs out of reach. Fans might tune in mainly for Young's first action in the Wizards uniform, but expect some rest for Utah players after their game yesterday. The match of highlights two rebuilding teams, grinding out the schedule.
