Nickeil Alexander-Walker - Dealt to Jazz The Jazz acquired Alexander-Walker and Juancho Hernangomez on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal involving the Trail Blazers and Spurs, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Port... Impact Alexander-Walker was traded from the Pelicans to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, but he'll be on the move once again without ever playing for Portland. The 23-year-old served mainly in a bench role for New Orleans since mid-November, and he'll likely provide an additional depth option behind Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley in Utah's backcourt. Across his 31 appearances off the bench this year, Alexander-Walker has averaged 11.1 points, 2.9 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per game. While the three teams wait for all players involved in the deal to pass physicals, Alexander-Walker likely won't be available to make his Jazz debut Wednesday against the Warriors, but he should be ready to play Friday versus the Magic.
