George Hill (sprained right thumb) - WILL NOT play tonight at Philadelphia.#UTAatPHI
Press has announced that Shelvin Mack will be starting in his place. Hopefully that means more playing time for Dante Exum and Raul Neto as well. Philly is kinda hurt at playmaker already with their stud passer Ben Simmons out. Jerryd Bayles is also out. So it’s going to be a little sloppy, unless you’re a huge Sergio Rodriguez fan.
At lest for Utah they do have Rodney Hood, Gordon Hayward, and Joe Johnson to handle the ball in the half-court. It still should still be a win.
