Utah Jazz rookies Taylor Hendricks and Keyonte George have been cleared to resume on-court activities following recent injuries, according to Tony Jones of The Athletic.
Hendricks, the ninth pick in the NBA draft, did not play with the Jazz in summer league while dealing with a right hamstring strain. He previously said he wasn’t quite 100% and didn’t want to risk further injury by playing with the team.
Meanwhile, George suffered a sprained right ankle on July 12 and was ruled out of playing again after three games in Las Vegas. The 16th pick was named to the all-summer league first team after averaging 21.2 points, 6.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds.
In addition to Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks has also been cleared for all on court activities. Brice Sensabaugh is still recovering from his March knee surgery
