Two years ago, it killed a playoff berth. Last season, it was almost comical. At this point, the Utah Jazz’s injury woes are defying the laws of logic and probability.

Dante Exum is gone for the year. It sucks, but that’s the reality of the situation. However, there’s still hope for guys like Rudy Gobert, Raul Neto and Joe Johnson. The same goes for Rodney Hood, who always seems to be moments away from his next setback.

I mean, the Jazz are due for some good fortune at this point, right?
