Utah Jazz: Team sends Koufos to Flash, recalls Fesenko

The Jazz today sent rookie big man Kosta Koufos to the Utah Flash, their Orem-based affiliate in the NBA Development League.

The Jazz also recalled center Kyrylo Fesenko from the Flash, as they're allowed to have no more than two D-League assignees at the same time — and shooting guard Morris Almond is with the minor-league team as well.

It's the first assignment to the Flash for Koufos, who — partly because teammates have been healthy — hasn't played with the Jazz since Feb. 17.

Fesenko has had two stints for the Flash this season, and is eligible for one more.

The Flash have 10 games remaining, including home dates Friday night and Saturday night vs. Anaheim. Their regular season ends at home on April 11.
