Official statement from Jazz president Randy Rigby about the possible end of the NBA lockout.

Rigby: "The tentative agreement is great news for our fans, players and our organization. We are very hopeful that the NBA will be back on the court on Christmas Day. Our season ticket holders, sponsors, fans and community have shown us great support through this process and we look forward to giving them what they want most, and that is Jazz basketball."
