How to watch the Utah Jazz play for free this weekend
The Utah Jazz will host their annual open scrimmage on Saturday, Oct. 21, the team announced on Tuesday.
The free event is open to the public and will allow fans to watch the players compete in a “tournament-style” scrimmage on the team’s black court.
“We are excited to welcome Jazz fans to Delta Center for our annual Open Scrimmage, which has grown into a true community celebration and one of our fans’ favorite ways to engage with our players and coaching staff,” Jim Olson, president of the Utah Jazz, said in the team’s press release.
The scrimmage comes four days before the Jazz start their 50th season on Oct. 25 against the Sacramento Kings in the Delta Center.
“This year’s event will be an exciting kickoff to our monumental 50th season, and we look forward to filling the arena with the best fans in the nation as they root for their favorite Jazz players and get ready for the 2023-24 season,” Olson said.
Head coach Will Hardy and Jazz players will also participate in on-court interviews that will be broadcast throughout the arena during the hourlong event.
