Clarkson Provides Thanksgiving Dinner For 250 Utah Families

The longest-tenured member of the Jazz, Clarkson, was joined by several family members and team employees to spread joy ahead of the holiday season. The ability to give back holds a special place in the Tampa native’s heart.

“I’ve been in the shoes of everybody that’s walked in this building,” Clarkson said. “As a family we give back, that’s part of the cycle of life.”

Families were provided access to turkeys, rolls, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green beans, and more to create a full Thanksgiving feast.

Clarkson made time to meet with each family, take photos, and sign autographs for every child who entered the school.

“Salt Lake means everything to me, this is home for me,” Clarkson added. “I’m just trying to reach out to our community, stay involved with everything and be me.”

Clarkson, 32, is in his sixth season in Utah after being acquired by the Jazz in December of 2019.

The guard ranks fourth all-time in franchise history in three-pointers made and is the only Jazzman to be named NBA Sixth Man of the Year.
