SALT LAKE CITY (November 4, 2008) – The Utah Jazz will honor Olympians from the Jazz and Salt Lake Bees franchises on Wednesday, November 5 when the team takes on the Portland Trail Blazers. Five athletes from the Utah Jazz and Salt Lake Bees represented their respective countries at the 2008 Olympic Games in Bejing, China. The Bees and Jazz are each owned and operated by Larry H. Miller Sports & Entertainment.

Carlos Boozer (USA Basketball), Deron Williams (USA Basketball), Andrei Kirilenko (Russia Basketball), Matt Brown (USA Baseball) and Kevin Jepsen (USA Baseball) will each be honored at a pregame presentation.
