I am at the Utah Jazz Summer League game ( in Utah on business) and am disappointed that Trey is not dressed to play. Anyone know why?
Anyone know about Trey ?

And for the second straight day, rookie forward Trey Lyles was not with the team.
The Jazz still have not signed Lyles, the 12th pick of the June 25 draft, as the team continues to explore transaction options with his lower cap hold and to work on minor contract details with his agent.
The Jazz are not commenting on when things might be resolved with Lyles, so it remains uncertain whether he'll be available for the Utah-hosted summer league, which begins Monday night.
Lyles’ cap hold is at 100 percent of the rookie salary scale, which is $1,866,500. He'll eventually be paid at 120 percent of the rookie scale ($2,239,800), but Utah can use the difference for a trade or a free agent signing before he inks the deal.
One thing to keep in mind is that rookies cannot be traded for 30 days after signing their contracts, so it's even a possibility that Lyles could be included in a trade.
Players don't sign contracts (or get paid, other than per diem) to play in the summer league, but the 19-year-old Lyles' camp has opted to keep him away from Jazz practices until a resolution is made.
On Friday, Lindsey said he completely understands why Lyles is not practicing and shifted the blame onto himself.
“This is self-imposed," he said. "That’s on me. Don’t blame the kid at all.”
