2:38 remaining: the Jazz trail the Rockets 106-104…..Simone Fontecchio has become a huge story in the fourth quarter. Monster minutes from the rookie – 10:12 PM

Ochai Agbaji is below both Simone Fontecchio and Nickeil Alexander-Walker in Will Hardy’s rotation, which isn’t a great sign – 9:53 PM

Jazz grab Simone Fontecchio off the end of the bench. He’s in for Kessler with Rudy Gay at center. – 9:40 PM

Will Hardy speaking on the veteran influence on Walker Kessler: “We actually had a play in the Minnesota game where Rudy Gay, physically pulled him out of the lane so that he didn’t get defensive three seconds and then pushed him back into the lane to go back to help.” – 6:39 PM

Hardy, on Walker Kessler’s learning curve: He’s got a lot of people helping him right now. There was a sequence in the Minnesota game where Rudy Gay literally grabbed him by the shoulders and moved him so he didn’t get a 3 seconds, then pushed him back in the lane afterwards. – 6:39 PM

More on this storyline
Eric Walden: Walker Kessler and Rudy Gay were feeling under the weather today and did not participate in the Utah Jazz’s practice. -via Twitter @tribjazz / October 27, 2022
League sources say that before the Jazz sent Bojan Bogdanovic to the Pistons, the Lakers offered Westbrook, a future first-round pick, and second-rounders for Bogdanovic and others. Sources expect the Lakers and Jazz to resume talks later in the season with some combination of other players discussed. (Utah has Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, and Rudy Gay—three veterans who can all shoot.) -via The Ringer / October 24, 2022
Sarah Todd: Rudy Gobert said that he saw Mike Conley last night and that he considers him and Jordan Clarkson and Rudy Gay to be his friends. Tho…it’ll be weird to face a team that really isn’t his old team. “It says Utah on the jersey, but Quin’s not there and it’s different.” -via Twitter @NBASarah / October 21, 2022
Fontecchio, 26, was present for the Media Day previewing the new NBA season. He talked about his career stressing his willingness to become an influential part of the Utah Jazz. “Signing with the Jazz was unbelievable. It felt like a dream come true. I wanted to become an NBA player,” he introduced himself to the gathered reporters, “It has been a long journey. Now I am 26, almost 27. Sometimes, this dream felt a little bit far, but right now I am so happy and excited to be here.” “I am really thankful and grateful for this big opportunity. I am ready to do whatever I can to help this team,” he added. -via EuroHoops.net / September 27, 2022
“One time, Banja Prelevic told me something. I was upset after one game when I missed a lot of shots. He asked me how many shots you have missed in your life until now. I said I don’t know, maybe 5000. Yes, so? Banja said this is our life,” Pozzecco told the story. “That doesn’t count. How you play and how you practice make a difference. The love of the game that he has… He will be in the NBA in one month. And he will be a monster, you will see,” Pozzecco said to BasketNews. -via BasketNews / September 15, 2022
