Walker Kessler Out for Utah Jazz's Preseason Game Against Rockets with Shoulder Issue

Walker Kessler has been ruled out of the Utah Jazz's preseason opener on Wednesday, where they are scheduled to face the Houston Rockets. The center is sidelined due to a shoulder injury, according to Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune. Kessler's absence will impact the Jazz's frontcourt rotation as they begin their exhibition slate without him. The team will likely rely on other big men to fill the void in the upcoming contest.
