The long wait is finally over, we get to watch Utah Jazz basketball.

In years past, Jazz fans would be invited to an open practice at Vivint Arena and the Jazz introduce the players with a variety of contests like a 3-point shooting contest and a rookie dance-off. This year the Jazz will be holding the live practice via zoom. The atmosphere will be different but this gives all the Jazz basketball junkies a window into the Zions Bank Basketball Campus for a live practice. It’s actually pretty cool!

Another interesting note about this event is that it won’t conflict General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As someone who attends conference, I have routinely had a hard time with wanting to watch/cover this event while also going to/watching conference. Now, the first Saturday session of conference ends at 12:00 PM MT and LDS Jazz fans can then switch over to watch the practice. Just add another feather to Ryan Smith’s cap for making the fan experience better for Jazz fans. Considering that demographic in Utah, why wasn’t this done earlier? Thanks, Ryan Smith!

Here’s the link for the event as well as the details.
