The following is a medical update on Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler:
During Utah’s season-opening game versus Sacramento on Oct. 25, Walker Kessler sustained a ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) sprain in his left elbow. The injury was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) testing after Kessler continued to play and experienced discomfort. Rest with non-contact activities has been recommended to accelerate his recovery process. He will be reevaluated in two weeks.
