The Jazz are going back to their birthplace to open the 2002-03 season. Utah will play the New Orleans Hornets, formerly of Charlotte, on Oct. 30. The Jazz franchise, of course, originated in New Orleans in 1974 before relocating to Salt Lake City prior to the the 1979-1980 season.

New Orleans has been without an NBA basketball since the Jazz departed — until now.

Utah will face Atlanta on Halloween night before opening the home season on Nov. 2 against Golden State.
