The Utah Jazz could very well be considered one of the most exciting teams this season, though bringing that kind of entertainment hasn’t always worked well for them.

Leaving the second half of Sunday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets with a head injury, Utah Jazz rookie center Walker Kessler will be evaluated for a possible concussion (h/t Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune).
