• Another old friend who recently landed with the Jazz, former Sixers first-round pick Jaden Springer, was ruled out for this contest due to a back injury. Springer, who is still in his age-22 season, inked a 10-day contract with Utah last month, and only a few weeks later inked a three-year standard NBA contract.

The Philadelphia 76ers returned home on Sunday to play host to the Utah Jazz looking to get back in the win column. The Sixers entered the night on a 3-game losing skid and were looking to take advantage of a Jazz team that has struggled all season long.
