We are proud to partner with the Clippers on this trip that will be so much bigger than basketball.
It’s an impressive gesture that will benefit the people of Hawaii that have suffered from the most recent wildfires that have caused so much damage. Preseason games are typically a low-key event that is mostly a chance for coaches to run through the different plays, systems, and lineups. This brings a lot more meaning, which makes it an all-around win for everyone. On top of that, the proceeds will hopefully help people in Hawaii. Good job, Jazz!
The Jazz mentioned that this will also be broadcast on KJZZ TV, something that will be a fantastic option for fans this upcoming season. We’ll see what comes around as far as streaming options, but for now, this is a great option so far.
Get ready, Jazz fans, the season is just around the corner.
