Jazz guard Trey Alexander taken from court on stretcher in NBA Summer League
game
LAS VEGAS (AP) --- Utah Jazz guard Trey Alexander was taken from the court on
stretcher Monday night after appearing to injure his side on a drive to the
basket in an NBA Summer League game against the Chicago Bulls.
Alexander, who signed a two-way deal with Utah last week, made contact with the
Bulls' Caleb Wilson while driving toward the basket and, after tossing the ball
toward the hoop, went behind the basket clutching his side or abdomen. He then
dropped to the ground, seemingly in great pain.
The 23-year-old Alexander was taken from the Thomas & Mack Center court on a
stretcher. The incident occurred with just over two minutes left in the fourth
quarter.
There was no immediate word from the Jazz on Alexander's injury.
Alexander played three seasons at Creighton and skipped his final year of
eligibility to turn pro. The G League rookie of the year for the 2024-25 season
played 24 games for the Denver Nuggets the same season and nine game for the
New Orleans Pelicans last season.
