At shootaround Friday morning, Utah Jazz coach Ty Corbin said Saturday might be the night Marvin Williams ended the longest layoff of his career.
The Jazz forward didn’t have to wait quite that long after all.
Williams, who spent last year battling with soreness in his heel before opting for surgery in May, returned to the court Friday night against the Chicago Bulls.
Williams played just under 11 minutes in the 97-73 loss. He went 0 for 4 after hitting his first shot and finished with one rebound, one assist and three turnovers.
