UTA. Jeremy Evans<strong> </strong>looks to start this season differently from last year, as he missed a bunch of time to start the year due to an injury. Well, as of my typing this (and, knocking on wood of course), Evans is not listed on the injury list for the Jazz, and he will look to start his season with the rest of his team as they welcome in the Houston Rockets, who played – and defeated – the Los Angeles Lakers last night. The Jazz hold the all-time advantage against the Rockets, with a 98-84 record against Houston. And, the last time the Jazz opened their home schedule against Houston, you have to flip the calender back all the way to 2006, but it was a victory. Alright, enough about the teams, and on to Jeremy! Evans played in six of Utah’s preseason games, finishing with an average of 2.2 points and about one rebound per contest. He did finish with three double-doubles last year, a career high. The most amount of time he saw in the preseason came in their final game against the Suns, in which he played 13 minutes and netted six points. Hopefully he can find larger ways to contribute, and be given more time on the floor as the season goes on.. vs. Houston Rockets. 8:00, Energy Solutions Arena. JEREMY EVANS
