Jazz debuts new starting lineup after Hendricks injury

Jazz coach Will Hardy will be forced to change his starting lineup just four games into the season after the team lost forward Taylor Hendricks to a gruesome leg injury.

In the middle of the Jazz's loss in Dallas, Hendricks appeared to slip at running back on offense and fell awkwardly on his right leg.
