Jarrell Brantley

It seems like Jarrell Brantley hasn’t stopped smiling since joining the Jazz in 2019.

The Jazz had previously been listed Brantley with a "not with team" designation on their recent reports, but the second-year forward was active in Utah's most recent contest Tuesday, playing six minutes in a 117-87 win over the Cavaliers. Utah was presumably just keeping the two-way player away while his services weren't needed, but Joe Ingles (Achilles) and Juwan Morgan (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) are now occupying the team's two inactive spots.
