Trail Blazers The Trail Blazers are signing free agent guard John Tonje to a two-way contract, agents George Roussakis and Mark Bartelstein told ESPN’s Shams Charania. Tonje, 25, spent most of last season on a two-way deal with the Jazz before being traded to the Celtics in February. Boston declined to extend him a qualifying […]

The offseason isn’t technically over – we’re all waiting on pins and needles for the Mario Hezonja decision – but the transactions have slowed substantially, and it looks like the Jazz have the majority of their roster set for the 2026-2027 season. We’ve consistently been told that this past season was the last in terms […]
The Rockets have signed free agent big man Oscar Tshiebwe, the team announced today in a press release. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but it seems likely to be a non-guaranteed contract, given Houston’s cap and roster situations. Tshiebwe, 26, has appeared in 49 regular season games for the Pacers and Jazz since going […]
Pistons Just how much is Pistons big man Jalen Duren worth? Apparently, NBA executives aren’t entirely sure, either. Duren is the biggest name remaining on the restricted free-agent market after a breakout season in which he earned third-team All-NBA honors and emerged as arguably the Pistons’ second-best player. But Fred Katz of The Athletic surveyed […]

Nearly everyone who watched Darryn Peterson compete in the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas Summer Leagues thought he looked like a “star in the making,” according to Sarah Todd of The Deseret News. “They should shut him down after this. It’s clear he’s better than this,” one Western Conference scout said during Peterson’s first […]

We’re at the part of the summer where LeBron James is controlling the basketball narratives because there’s nothing to talk about. Apparently, the decision would have happened by now had Adam Silver not rushed him. Apparently, James is just like us and gets irritated by Adam Silver too. But that may just be a ruse. […]

Cody Williams‘ tenure with the Utah Jazz could be coming to an end. In a recent Summer League game on July 12, 2026, Williams produced a lackluster stat line. In 23 minutes, Williams went 0-for-2 from the field with two rebounds, one assist and one steal. https://twitter.com/SleeperJazz/status/2076517022171861211?s=20 His poor performance not only hurt teammate Darryn […]

David Locke didn’t just build a podcast. He built what has become one of sports media’s biggest podcast networks. In an excellent profile by Gordon Monson of The Salt Lake Tribune, the longtime Jazz radio voice explained how a simple idea centered on team-specific coverage eventually grew into the Locked On Podcast Network, now featuring […]

As big of a fan as I am of basketball, I am JUST as big of a fan of the world of footy. Every four years a huge percentage of American’s pretend to care about the game for a few weeks up until the point that the USMNT loses in the knockout rounds, and then […]
Although the Los Angeles Lakers met with restricted free agent Jalen Duren when free agency opened, their primary objective was always to acquire Walker Kessler, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line. The Lakers understood that landing the Utah Jazz center would require a significant investment, but they were prepared to pay the cost. […]

With Summer League wrapped up, I wanted to discuss Nate Ament and how he moves forward from here. Ament is certainly one of the more difficult prospect evaluations I’ve ever done (not that I’m some expert in this space) because he is a truly unique archetype insofar as he has me thinking “OK, this is […]
In our latest Jazz Reacts survey, I asked who Jazz fans think will have the best career between Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, Caleb Wilson, and Cam Boozer. Here’s how Jazz fans feel. Probably not a surprise that Jazz fans believe that the Jazz prospect will have the best career. But it’s not a stretch to […]
According to Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks are fielding offers for Daniel Gafford. Stein goes on to say: Is Daniel Gafford going to be on this team by season’s end? It’s not an answerable question at this point. We know he’s available. This is the perfect type of move for the Utah Jazz. Gafford isn’t […]
Jazz guard Darryn Peterson faced some questions about his competitive desire from fans and the media due to the cramping issues that plagued his freshman season at Kansas, but people who know him best nearly universally describe the No. 2 overall pick as having a “killer” mentality on the court, writes Jason Batacao of The […]
The Utah Jazz won their final summer league game against the Portland Trail Blazers 83-79. It was a fun game that came down to the wire, with a few Jazz players showing promise that could help the team. The player who surprisingly didn’t help as much as you’d hope was Blake Hinson, who shot just […]
The Portland Trail Blazers came up short against the Utah Jazz by the score of 83-79 on Friday night in the final NBA Summer League game for both teams. The Blazers finished the annual tournament with a record of 2-3. Fatigue was clearly a factor in this one, as the game noticeably slowed down after […]
LeBron James tells Tyrese Haliburton he could average 10 points per game at 65.
The Utah Jazz will take on the Portland Trail Blazers in their last game of the Las Vegas Summer League. They will also be doing it without their three most prominent summer league players: Darryn Peterson, Ace Bailey, and Cody Williams. It’s been a very up-and-down summer league for Utah for multiple players. Darryn Peterson […]
Utah Jazz rookie Darryn Peterson told ESPN's Malika Andrews he felt "100 percent" healthy while playing his first three Summer League games this month in Las Vegas.
Warriors The Warriors continue to be mentioned among the teams pursuing LeBron James, and one factor could separate them from the rest of the field. As written by Joey Akeley of Warriors on SI, Golden State’s proximity to Los Angeles could make the franchise especially appealing to James as he weighs where to spend the […]

Jazz fans got a nice surprise today when they found out that Darryn Peterson would be suiting up to play again in Summer League tonight. It’s very likely it had something to do with comments made by Caleb Wilson after Peterson didn’t play against Chicago. If there’s one thing I’ve loved about Darryn Peterson it’s […]
