George Hill will miss tonight’s game with Golden State because of soreness in his left big toe, the Jazz announced via Twitter.
“It’s something he’s been fighting all year,” Utah coach Quin Snyder told reporters (Twitter link). “It’s been sore. He’s been playing through it.”
Snyder said he hasn’t decided if Raul Neto, Shelvin Mack or Dante Exum will start in place of Hill. He added that Hill’s absence will be a huge loss to the team’s offense.
The ninth-year point guard is in his first season with the Jazz after being acquired from the Pacers in an offseason trade. He is averaging 15.6 points through Utah’s first eight playoff games.
Huge loss. He means so much to the Jazz. Great player.
Betting both farms on warriors tonight as a result.
