NBA professional basketball team season
The 2019–20 Utah Jazz season was the 46th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 41st season of the franchise in Salt Lake City . It was announced that longtime Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley was traded to the Jazz after spending his first 12 seasons in the league with the Grizzlies.[1] During the offseason Dennis Lindsey was promoted from General Manager to Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, while Assistant Justin Zanik was promoted to General Manager.[2]
The season was indefinitely suspended by the league officials following the games of March 11, 2020[3] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 .[4] A day later, on March 12, it was revealed that Donovan Mitchell had also tested positive for the virus.[5] Before this, Gobert and Mitchell were selected to play in the 2020 All-Star Game in Chicago.
On June 4, the Jazz clinched a playoff berth for the fourth straight season, after the NBA approved a plan to return to play in the NBA Bubble with only 22 teams in late July.
In the playoffs, the Jazz lost to the Denver Nuggets in the first round in seven games after leading the series 3–1.
Draft picks [ edit ]
The Jazz held a first and a second-round draft pick entering the 2019 NBA Draft.[6] On the night before the 2019 NBA draft began, the Jazz agreed to trade their first-round pick at #23 (which became forward Darius Bazley ), a protected 2020 first-round pick, Grayson Allen , Jae Crowder , and Kyle Korver to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for long-standing point guard Mike Conley Jr. , although the trade was not official until July 6 due to salary cap reasons.[7] [8]
On the night of the draft, the Jazz selected point guard Justin Wright-Foreman from Hofstra University . They also traded their 2021 second-round pick and cash considerations to the Indiana Pacers for their 50th pick of the draft, which became power forward Jarrell Brantley from the College of Charleston . Both Wright-Foreman and Brantley signed two-way contracts with Utah on July 16. Utah also traded away some cash considerations to the Golden State Warriors on June 20 to acquire the 58th pick of the draft, shooting guard Miye Oni from Yale University .
