Joel Bolomboy Sent Back to D-League

With the Jazz band back home and rookie Joel Bolomboy not likely to see the court against the Lakers, the team has opted to send the big man back to the Salt Lake City Stars. This marks the 11th time that Bolomboy has received D-League assignment this season.

Bolomboy hasn’t gotten into a game for the Jazz since playing four minutes against the Golden State Warriors on December 20. However, the former Weber State star has made good use of his time in the D-League. On the year, he’s averaging 15 points, 13 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game for the Stars.

The Stars will be back in action on Friday against the Santa Cruz Warriors.
