SALT LAKE CITY, UT – MAY 4: Assistant Coach Igor Kokoskov of the Utah Jazz makes his arrival before the game against the Houston Rockets during Game Three of the Western Conference Semifinals of the 2018 NBA Playoffs on May 4, 2018 at the Vivint Smart Home Arena Salt Lake City, Utah.

6. Igor Kokoskovs first game against his former club.

A vital piece to the Jazz’ success and development in his time there, Igor Kokoskov will play his former team for the first time on February 6th.

Now the Head Coach of the Phoenix Suns, Kokoskov will definitely want to show the Jazz what he’s all about when he rolls into the VIVINT Smart Home Arena at the tail end of the first half of the season. By then, both teams will have a good sense of what Kokoskov really does for a team, whether he’s an assistant, or calling the shots.

Regardless of the Suns’ record though, it is always fun to see a successful individual return to a place where he had a great influence.

Also, we will get to see Devin Booker vs. Donovan Mitchell for the first time in 2018-19 on this date.

Booker v Mitchell has turned into one of the great debates on NBA social media and we will get a better look at the question as Mitchell enters his sophomore year, and Devin Booker continues to grow (his bank account).

Their first meeting is February 6th, so these two teams will play four times in just over a month.

Buckle up!
