SALT LAKE CITY – Second-year guard Trent Forrest carried a depleted Jazz roster with some early offense during Utah’s game against the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns hosted the Jazz on Monday, January 24.
Forrest started the game as Utah’s five traditional starters and Joe Ingles all missed the contest in the Valley of the Sun.
The Florida product helped keep the Jazz afloat during the first 12 minutes of game time.
