UTAH \u2014 The Utah Jazz<\/a> are dealing with a host of injuries that could conveniently land them a top-eight pick and ensure they keep their pick in June\u2019s draft. On Monday night, the list of players in the treatment room grew by two more. Multiple reports confirmed the Jazz will be without Vince Williams<\/a> and Jusuf Nurki\u0107<\/a> for the rest of the season. This begs the question: who\u2019s left standing on the depth chart?<\/p>\n

Williams Jr. suffered a significant ACL injury during the Jazz\u2019s game against Houston on Monday night, according<\/a> to Sarah Todd of the Deseret News. Officials ruled him out for the remainder of the game after a gruesome left knee injury in the first half. The injury occurred after Tari Eason<\/a> hip-checked Williams on a fast-break drive. Williams\u2019 knee bent in the wrong direction as he tried to steady himself after the collision. Staff helped him off the court before carrying him into the locker room. He later left the arena on crutches.<\/p>\n
