Tacko Fall gets another chance to show his talent.
NBA Summer League action in Las Vegas begins Thursday, July 7 and the Utah Jazz roster includes the 7ft 6 center. The Jazz will also play in the Salt Lake City Summer League, which begins Tuesday.
Fall, who became a fan favorite with the Boston Celtics during the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons, now has an opportunity to impress the Jazz and potentially earn a spot on their regular-season roster. Utah’s center situation is quite interesting right now after the team reportedly traded star center Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.
Here’s a look at the complete Jazz Summer League schedule with fall.

Fall playing for the Jazz in Summer League comes as little surprise. He made his NBA debut with the Celtics near the end of Danny Ainge’s tenure as Boston’s President of Basketball Operations. Ainge is currently working in a similar role with jazz.
Fall last played in an NBA game for the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 30, 2021.
