Utah Jazz forward Thabo Sefolosha is expected to undergo season-ending surgery on an MCL injury

This sucks... Thabo was damn good for us. Feel awful for him. I guess we just can’t have nice things.
 
This is so crappy. He was the perfect big guard. The tank is on no matter what now.

That’s different from what I read, but it would be nice.

Everything I’ve seen is non-guaranteed for Thabo. This does suck, but on a positive we will see Royce more and I’ve liked him when he’s been on the court.
 
Sucks because Thabo was good enough to be a trade asset. I was thinking a contender might be willing to trade an asset. For example, Thabo + late first for our second and an expiring. Guess we have to hope JJ is that type of asset.

Jesus man can the jazz ever catch a break? We are the most injury cursed team in the league the last few years. Maybe there is no solution, but it is the biggest problem facing this team. The constant injuries really limited last year's team, which could have been a lot better if they were even just slightly healthier, and you've got to wonder if that has any effect on Hayward's decision. I don't want to blame it on the training staff or anything--because I don't know if it's there fault. There's no way of knowing if they could be doing more/different things or if it's just really bad luck. One thing I do know is that the front office has got to start heavily factoring and scouting durability. We just can't succeed if our main guys can't stay on the floor. We've got to put durable guys around Mitchell and Gobert, and hope Gobert has just had bad luck lately. Really hoping that Exum, too, has just had terrible freak accidents and that he will come back and be healthy for the rest of his career. Exum is looking more essential to this franchise. We really need him to be good.

Some guys, like Favors and Hood, are injury prone and constantly seem to have nagging injuries. For them it's not the big injuries that are accidents and unavoidable, but that they are actually prone to small, constant injury problems. We should take that into account when it comes to Hood's next contract.

I am just so frustrated by this the past few seasons. We really never know what we have or what we could be/could have been.

Thabo was one of the few guys on our roster who played like he gave a damn. Really sad to see him go down and maybe have played his last game in a Jazz uniform. Really just want guys who care and play hard to be on the floor at this point. This team is definitely going to miss his leadership. Not really getting it from any of the other vets. Not sure if Mitchell can be that guy who keeps the locker room together in his rookie season. Thabo was that guy for us this season by all accounts. He also seems like a really good dude, so best wishes to him and hope he makes a full recovery.
 
Do we get a roster exception? I know we didn’t for Exum but I’m not sure how this works. Bolomboy is available, though I’m not certain we’d be allowed to sign him.
