Scores of workers were busy throughout the Jam Events Center as they frantically try to get the facility operational by the time the NBA Development League season begins.
But to be on the safe side, the Jam has delayed its home opener by four days. The home opener is now Thursday, Dec. 3, at 7 p.m. vs. Utah. The original opener, scheduled for Sunday against the Los Angeles D-Fenders, will now be a road game. The D-Fenders and Jam will play two straight in Bakersfield Feb. 2-3 (only one of those dates was a Jam home game originally) to make up for the site switch this weekend.

They built this brand new arena, and the Bakersfield Jam aren’t quiiiiiite going to get it open in time for the season opener. That’s awkward.
The Clippers could really use the Jam. Or, we could just make the Defenders an NBA team and relegate the Clippers. That’d work.
