Jazz suffered a crushing defeat – 86:124
Ukrainian defender Svyatoslav Mikhailyuk played in Utah Jazz in a pre-season match with Portland Trail Blazers V National Basketball Association (NBA).
Svyatoslav spent more than 14 minutes on the court. He has nine points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Mikhailyuk’s productive play did not help the Jazz. The team with the Ukrainian suffered a crushing defeat – 86:124.
Let us remember that Svyat previously participated in a sparring with the San Antonio Spurs (120:126). In 17 minutes, the defender scored 16 points (including 3 of 9 three-pointers), made one rebound and two assists.
In August, Svyatoslav formalized his relationship with the Jazz for four seasons (the first year worth $3.5 million is guaranteed) for $15 million. Utah general manager Justin Zanik called the Ukrainian a professional with experience playing in the league.
Last season, Mikhailyuk played for the Boston Celtics and became the NBA champion for the first time in his career. Mikhailyuk became the second Ukrainian after Stanislav Medvedenko with the championship title in the most prestigious basketball club tournament in the world.
Utah finished 12th in the Western Conference last season and failed to make the playoffs. The 2024-25 NBA regular season begins on October 22.
