Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks, sidelined by a severe injury, is actively contributing to his team's strategy by drawing up plays for his teammates. During a recent game against the Phoenix Suns, he designed a play that led to John Collins scoring Utah's first basket.

Hendricks suffered a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle in a game against the Dallas Mavericks, resulting in surgery and an extended recovery period. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic about his rehabilitation and aims for a return during the 2025-26 season.
