SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Jazz have recalled rookies Isaiah Collier and Kyle Filipowski before hosting the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.

Collier and Filipowski have spent time with the Salt Lake City Stars in the G League while the Jazz were on hiatus during the NBA Cup.

Durant Probable As Jazz Host Suns

The Jazz will host the Suns after a rare four days off following their 141-97 blowout loss at the hands of the Sacramento Kings.

The Suns are also looking to bounce back from a 115-110 loss on the road to the Orlando Magic on Sunday.

Phoenix is looking to snap a six-game road losing streak when they travel to Utah having dropped games in Sacramento, Oklahoma City, Minnesota, New Orleans, and Miami before Sunday’s loss.
