Simone Fontecchio Injury: Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz Forward to Miss Game With Calf Strain

The Utah Jazz will be without forward Simone Fontecchio for at least Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings, as he is dealing with a left calf strain, the team announced Tuesday.

Fontecchio's Role with the Jazz

Fontecchio is averaging 4.1 points and 1.9 rebounds per game this season, and he has started 11 of 25 games. He has been a valuable contributor off the bench for the Jazz, providing them with shooting and defense.

Jazz Injury Report

The Jazz are already without several key players due to injury, including Mike Conley, Kelly Olynyk, and Rudy Gay. Fontecchio's absence will further deplete their depth.

Next Up for the Jazz

The Jazz will take on the Kings at home on Wednesday night. They will then have a two-day break before hosting the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night.

Additional Information

Fontecchio's injury is not expected to be long-term, but the Jazz will likely be cautious with him given their current injury situation.
