According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz have traded for Jaren Jackson Jr. Also included in the trade are John Konchar, Jock Landale, and Vince Williams Jr. Utah sends Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niange, and three picks. What are those picks? They include the most favorable 2027 first-round pick between Utah/Cleveland/Minnesota, […]
Utah Jazz vs Indiana Pacers preview: Nothin’ ethical about it
The road trip continues, as the Jazz are welcomed by our fellow bottom-of-the-league dwellers in Indiana. Viewers have been warned: This game will contain a substantial amount of unethical tanking. Utah is slowly sinking into what they were always meant to become, currently sitting 13th in the West with a 15-35 record. Whilst our fellow […]
Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors Player Grades: Individual Bright Spots in a Tough Team Loss
The Utah Jazz lost 107-100 in Toronto, it was competitive all night, but Utah just couldn’t catch a rhythm from deep and had too many sloppy possessions that the Raptors turned into easy points. The Jazz stayed within striking distance all night and had their chances late, but never quite found enough consistent offense to […]
Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors recap and final score – Losses trend in the North direction
As much to the disappointment of Los Utah Jazz and all the fans in South America, the Jazz finished their longest homestand of the season with a 1-5 record; that one win came on a career-high night for Keyonte George. But maybe they weren’t as disappointed, since the Jazz are now closer to the league’s […]
Utah Jazz get zero all-star bids as Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George miss the cut
Any hope that the Utah Jazz could get a player to Los Angeles for NBA All-star weekend now resides in the form of an injury replacement. And even then, it’s a long shot. On Sunday, the NBA announced its Western Conference all-star rosters, and candidates Keyonte George and Lauri Markkanen failed to make the list […]
Utah Jazz vs Toronto Raptors: Preview, start time, injury report, channel
The Utah Jazz will take on the Toronto Raptors to kick off a five-game road trip. Utah is 1-9 in their last ten and on a fast track to the top of the lottery standings. Toronto is going in the other direction. They’re 29-21 for the season and are sitting at 4th in the Eastern […]
Utah Jazz vs Brooklyn Nets Player Grades
The Jazz lost this one 109-99 to the Brooklyn Nets. They kept it close for the majority of this game, but in the end Cam Thomas and Egor Demin outgunned the Jazz. That pretty much sums this one up. I think the tanking this year has numbed my brain, but it will all be worth […]
Utah Jazz vs Brooklyn Nets: Recap and final score
The Utah Jazz were extremely successful tanking lost to the Brooklyn Nets 109-99. It was a battle of wills between two teams very interested in adding lottery talent to their teams. The Nets won but it was very much not he outcome they probably wanted. Don’t forget, the Jazz and Nets both had bad lottery […]
Brooklyn Nets vs Utah Jazz: preview, start time, channel
The Utah Jazz will host the Brooklyn Nets in a classic tank-off. Brooklyn is currently ahead of Utah in the draft standings with a record of 12-34. Utah, 3.5 games behind at a record of 15-33, could make a significant close in the gap with the loss tonight. The Jazz, who according to Austin Ainge […]
Utah Jazz free agency rumors: New intel on the Wizards and Walker Kessler
It was reported a few days ago about the Washington Wizards’ interest in Walker Kessler by Tim MacMahon. Michael Scotto added some new insight to that interest in Kessler. From Scotto: The Washington Wizards are the latest team, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, interested in Utah Jazz enter Walker Kessler. Previously, the Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles […]
Utah Jazz player grades: report cards from Utah’s loss to Golden State
If I were an actual teacher, I’d be quite tempted to dock the entire class points for what was, by all accounts, a thorough and unquestionable defeat to the shorthanded Golden State Warriors. Defensively, the Jazz resisted with all the integrity of a five-cent water balloon as the visitors sliced, diced, and tore through Utah’s […]
Golden State Warriors vs. Utah Jazz: Recap and Final Score
The Utah Jazz have dropped their fourth-straight game after tonight’s loss against the Golden State Warriors. The final score was 140-124. As is the case most nights, Utah struggled tremendously on defense. Utah allowed Golden State to attempt 54 attempts from behind the arc, with the Warriors connecting on 43% of them. Sure, the Warriors […]
NBA Trade Rumors: Utah Jazz involvement revealed in upcoming trades
In the latest Stein Line, Marc Stein reveals the Utah Jazz will be active this trade season, but it’s not likely to be for a big name. From Marc Stein: With various teams hard-capped at the first apron or just trying to remain below that threshold — or out of the luxury tax altogether — […]
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers Player Grades
The Jazz had their first nationally televised game, and it did not disappoint… for the first half. In the second half, they fell apart and struggled mightily without Keyonte George. They also faced some familiar faces in John Collins, and Kriss Dunn. Dunn had a fantastic night, notching 5 steals and 14 points. These were […]
Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors: preview, start time, channel
The Utah Jazz will take on the Golden State Warriors with a mostly full strength team, something that hasn’t happened in some time. Lauri Markkanen is back after returning yesterday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Jazz were without Jusuf Nurkic and Keyonte George in that one and were soundly beaten. Today, on the back […]
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers: Recap and final score
Lauri Markkanen finally returned for the Utah Jazz tonight, but the young squad was unable to hang with the Los Angeles Clippers. In the end and after a valiant fight (even holding a lead for much of the 1st half), Utah fell to the Clips with a score of 115-103. The 2nd half ended up […]
The Downbeat: Can someone please fix the space-time continuum?
Alright, who broke it? I’m not mad, I just need the culprit to come forward, because this space-time continuum isn’t going to fix itself. Do you see that giant rift? The tear in the fabric of reality? One of you did this, and no one is leaving until you fess up. Something hasn’t been right […]
Preview: Nurkic’s storm passes through SLC against LA Clippers
Is Jusuf Nurkic the most dangerous man in the NBA? I’m mostly joking, of course, because despite the fact that he’s on an unprecedented run of three consecutive triple-doubles (which was on nobody’s bingo card at the beginning of the season, don’t even pretend), it took a herculean performance from Keyonte George to claim the […]
The Utah Jazz just got snubbed by the NBA
Today, the NBA announced the 2026 Castrol Rising Stars Rookies, and a notable name was missing: Ace Bailey. It’s a frustrating omission that I’m sure Bailey will not be happy about. He has done everything the Jazz have asked him to, and his reward for much of this season was watching minutes go to Svi […]
Jusuf Nurkic has just done what no other Utah Jazz player has done
Move aside Nikola Jokic, there’s a new triple-double king in the NBA — for this week. In one of the most random statistical stretches in Utah Jazz history, Jusuf Nurkic has done what no other Utah Jazz player past or present has done: record three straight triple-doubles. On Tuesday, Nurkic logged only the second triple-double […]
Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat recap and final score: Jazz get steamrolled by the Heat
Jusuf Nurkic made Utah Jazz history in a blowout loss to the Miami Heat. No Jazz player has ever recorded three consecutive triple-doubles until tonight. Jusuf Nurkic, who was visibly gassed at the end of the game, stayed in despite the Utah Jazz being down by about 30 points. In the final minutes, he grabbed […]
NBA Free Agency Rumor: New Walker Kessler suitor emerges
According to Tim MacMahon, the Washington Wizards are “fairing to make a significant offer” for Walker Kessler. The reality is that the Utah Jazz can match any offer given to Kessler, so they can make sure he’s here next season. The question becomes, do they want to offer what the Wizards might give him? Utah, […]
Utah Jazz vs Miami Heat preview: It’s time for the Jazzlings to shine
The homestand continues with the first meeting against the Miami Heat, as the Jazz welcome them to the Delta Center. Last year, the record was split 1-1 between the two groups, both of them winning on the road. After Utah’s collapse on Thursday night, they could probably afford an extra win or two without concern […]
Recap: Hollow Utah Jazz spurred by, you guessed it, the Spurs
One look at the injury report, and it was clear that the Utah Jazz were welcoming Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio into the Delta Center for a 48-minute formality. We can do the whole song and dance, or you can kindly take your victory and go. No Lauri Markkanen, as he is still absent […]
Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs: Preview, how to watch, injury report
For the second time in four days, the Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs will face off when the Spurs travel to Utah on Thursday night. In the two previous meetings between the Jazz and Spurs this season, the teams split wins, with the Jazz coming away victorious in December and the Spurs winning on […]
