The Utah Jazz celebrated the birthday of forward Drew Eubanks with a pretty unique present: A one-way ticket to Los Angeles.
Barely an hour after Utah’s social media team sent out a birthday graphic for the 28-year-old Oregon State product, the Jazz front office traded Eubanks and Patty Mills to the Los Angeles Clippers for P.J. Tucker, Mo Bamba, a future second-round pick and cash, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania and Bobby Marks.
Considering the Jazz are 10-36 — dead last in the Western Conference — while the Clippers are 28-20 and a true contender for a top-six playoff seed, Utah essentially gave Eubanks a shot at the playoffs for his birthday.

Few teams have ever been as thoughtful or kind when it comes to giving their players a birthday present.
In 37 games with Utah this season, Eubanks is averaging 15.4 minutes off the bench, providing an average of 5.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
Most importantly, he’s leaving a wintery Salt Lake City for a warm and sunny Los Angeles. There’s no better gift than that and NBA fans were thrilled for him.
