Jazz's George Hill: Held out Thursday

Hill (thumb) won't play Thursday against the Bulls, Jazz radio play-by-play broadcaster David Locke reports.

Analysis:

Hill's sprained right thumb will presumably pave the way for Dante Exum to make another start at point guard, but Shelvin Mack should see a roughly equal minutes count. It will be the sixth straight absence for Hill, who is being evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
