You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get right to it.
The Utah Jazz are in serious trouble up front. Jaren Jackson Junior is done for six to eight weeks with a torn MCL in his right knee, and if that wasn't enough, Lauri Markkanen is also banged up with a sprained wrist. Losing two bigs at the same time is a brutal blow to a team already navigating a rebuild.
Shifting to the offensive line market, the Seattle Seahawks made a massive move, acquiring eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts. Seattle sent back a third-round pick to land one of the most dominant run-blocking guards of his generation. This is a franchise signaling it means business this season.
And a story worth following out of Pittsburgh — Penguins forward Ben Kindel was back on the ice at practice Tuesday, one week after the nineteen-year-old fainted aboard the team's flight returning from Utah. No timetable yet on when he returns to game action, but seeing him back on the ice is genuinely encouraging news.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
