Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder recap: final SLC Summer League game
The Utah Jazz capped off a perfect 3-0 run through their home summer showcase with a dominant 103-69 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. It may not have been pretty, but the Jazz got the job done. Unlike the first two games, none of Utah’s draft […]
Utah Jazz vs Oklahoma City Thunder Summer League Player Grades
No Cody, Ace, or Darryn Peterson? No problem. Lesser known Jazzmen dominate OKC 103-69 in their final Summer League game at the Huntsman Center.

Utah Jazz vs OKC Thunder: Summer League Preview, Start Time, How to Watch

Utah Jazz vs Memphis Grizzlies recap and final score: The NBA deserves better scouts
Darryn Peterson took over the media world two days ago in the Utes’ own Huntsman Center. A 28-point debut? Theoretically implausible. But what about Peterson’s eight turnovers? Maybe he isn’t a winning player. Maybe he is just as selfish as everyone said he was. That would’ve been my conclusion if I hadn’t watched Peterson completely […]
Darryn Peterson and Cameron Boozer in a gladiator match at SLC Summer League
Darryn Peterson is such an obvious superstar. As the Utah Jazz lined up a Salt Lake City matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies, Utah’s number-two draft pick, Darryn Peterson, and the Grizzlies number-three selection, Cameron Boozer, squared off for the first time since draft night. Carlos Boozer, Cam’s father and a scout for the Utah Jazz, […]

Utah Jazz add depth with new signing of Creighton guard
According to Jake Fischer, the Utah Jazz have signed Trey Alexander to a two-way contract. Alexander is a 6’5” guard who played at Creighton. His last two seasons have been with New Orleans and Denver, where he’s played a total of 33 games. His sample size last season is just 9 games, so it’s a […]

It’s happening! The Utah Jazz have themselves the star they were looking for to add to an already solid young core.

Utah Jazz Summer League Storylines

Utah Jazz vs Atlanta Hawks: Summer League preview, start time, how to watch
Can you believe it? After what has been the most successful lottery and draft in Utah Jazz history, Jazz fans will get to watch prized prospect Darryn Peterson take the floor for the first time.

Utah Jazz sign defensive wing to roster
According to Shams Charania, the Utah Jazz signed Josh Okogie to a 2-year $12M deal. Okogie shot 38.5% from three last season in Houston, as Charania mentions, and fills a need for the Jazz, who are looking for defensive help on the perimeter. It’s a clear sign that Utah is in the business now of […]
How Keyonte George Is Becoming the Leader of the Utah Jazz
Every great team has leaders. Players who inspire, teach, and motivate — sometimes with words, sometimes just by outworking everyone else. A team’s leader doesn’t always have to be its best player (although it helps if they are). The Warriors’ dynasty had Draymond Green as a great vocal leader. The Celtics had Marcus Smart for […]
Potential center trade targets post Walker Kessler trade
The Utah Jazz came out of the Walker Kessler trade with a fresh new collection of trade assets and a nice TPE (traded player exception) that could be in the $15-$16M range. That means they can use the TPE to make a trade for a player that makes that amount of money, or less, and […]
The Utah Jazz Ceiling Has Never Been Higher
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Utah Jazz have reportedly agreed to a sign-and-trade with the Los Angeles Lakers in which the Lakers will get Walker Kessler on a brand-new four-year, $130m deal with a player option after year three.

The Utah Jazz lost Walker Kessler, but at least they have Jaxson Hayes
Through streaming tears and a quivering bottom lip, I gazed at Shams Charania’s latest release in the great dance we call free agency. The Los Angeles Lakers had realized my greatest horror: they overpaid for Walker Kessler, and the Utah Jazz would not be matching their offer sheet. Now who’s going to be the UCCU […]
Utah Jazz sign former Lakers center on two-year deal
The Utah Jazz signed Jaxson Hayes to a two-year $12 million deal, according to Tim MacMahon. The second year is a team option, meaning Utah can release him after this upcoming season if they want. The Hayes signing makes sense, as Utah now needs center depth after the Walker Kessler trade. Hayes played 66 games […]
BREAKING NEWS: Utah Jazz send Walker Kessler to the Los Angeles Lakers
The Walker Kessler saga is officially over, and so is his tenure in Utah. The Utah Jazz are sending Walker Kessler to the Los Angeles Lakers in a sign-and-trade for unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033, plus the right to swap first-round picks in 2028 and 2030.

Ace Bailey and Cody Williams impart wisdom on the Jazz’s new Summer League star
Take a breath, people. This article is a momentary bubble of safety from the ongoing Walker Kessler free agency debacle. I will not be adding my fingerprints to the growing collection of my peers’ on the big red illuminating “PANIC” button. I don’t need that kind of anxiety in my life, so I opt to […]
Walker Kessler’s High Price Tag Revealed – Should Jazz Match?
Hopes are high for the Utah Jazz as they prepare for their first winning season since the Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert era.

Accepting Our Fate: Walker Kessler
The NBA off-season has officially started and we’ve already seen some pretty big moves just today: The Atlanta Hawks declined their option on Jonathan Kuminga’s contract making him a free agent, Andrew Wiggins signed a 3-year, $64 million deal to return to the Miami Heat, and the biggest of them all (so far) is that […]

Danny Ainge Has A Type — Does Darryn Peterson Fit It?
When we think of a type, we’re usually thinking of the type of person we’d like to date. For many of us, it’s finding literally anyone who treats us nicely, is okay with a little heft in the middle, and can put up with an unhealthy obsession with Jazz basketball (sobs softly). But this is […]
Blake Hinson, Utah Jazz legend, halts the jersey number carousel
Around and around and around it goes. Darryn Peterson’s prophesied selection with the second overall NBA Draft pick brought about a struggle that has spanned through generations — his preferred jersey number had already been claimed.
