Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards, Tank Battle!
The Wizards out-tanked the Jazz tonight. Collier, and Ace had enough of losing and took this game over. While the Jazz did slip a spot in the lottery odds, remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint, and the Jazz still have plenty of time to jump back up. For now we can all enjoy the […]
Utah Jazz vs. Washington Wizards: Recap and Final Score
The Utah Jazz won (or lost, from a tanking lens) against the Washington Wizards, with a final score of 122-112 Funny enough, Trae Young made his Wizards debut tonight. Conveniently, he was on a 20-minute restriction and didn’t play in the final quarter of the game (but what about anti-competitive behavior and integrity of the […]
Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards clash in what will technically be a basketball game
This is the big one. The Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards. Scroll all the way down the NBA standings, and you should be able to find these teams representing some of the very worst either conference has to offer. It’s an elderly goldfish vs a geriatric turtle. It’s coughing baby vs sneezing baby. It’s the […]
Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers: Recap and final score
The Utah Jazz fell short against the Sixers, 106-102. For the most part, it was a duel between Keyonte George and Tyrese Maxey. George scored 30 points on 10/24 shooting from the field (41.7%) and 5/11 (45.5%) from three. It was very clear that Keyonte George was the equal of Tyrese Maxey, if not better. […]
MO BAMBA and other Utah Jazz player grades vs 76ers, I guess
It certainly seemed like Utah was going to run away with it in Philadelphia, leading for most of the fourth quarter before the home Sixers slipped ahead to win 106-102. Utah maintains its tank race momentum (phew), and Philly advances without the services of Joel Embiid, but what’s new? Well… Mo Bamba – A It […]
Elijah Harkless: The Next Defensive Juggernaut?
A lot could be said about the game the other day between the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets: Jokic’s antics, the officiating, or the absolute battle we saw between Jamal Murray and Keyonte George. Something else entirely caught my eye, though. When I saw it at first I was beyond perplexed, but as I […]
Utah Jazz vs Philadelphia 76ers: preview, start time, how to watch
The Utah Jazz will head to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers with a chance to improve their draft positioning even more. The Sixers will be without some key players so it makes this a little interesting for the Jazz. The Jazz will also be shorthanded with their standard injuries. The big takeaway here is […]
What’s The Utah Jazz Version of “The Process”?
The SLC Dunk Staff and I were talking in our group chat recently and the topic of “The Process” came up. We were originally bashing the NBC/Peacock broadcast for airing a commercial that referred to the Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers as “two teams that never rebuild, they just reload.” Apart from the blatant […]
Sparring with the three-man brawl atop the 2026 NBA Draft class
Have you ever watched a cartoon scuffle evolve into a swirling cloud of dust, stars, limbs, and onomatepea? With the participants jostling, wrestling, and tackling at such a high speed, the animators are physically incapable (or occupationally unwilling) of sketching at a quick enough rate to keep pace with the escalating kerfuffle. Dust and dirt […]
Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets: Post Game Recap
It’s down to the nitty gritty here in Jazz Nation. The playoffs are out-of-sight, the injuries are stacking, and the league is zeroed-in and hoping to make a don’t-tank example out of us. Do we continue losing naturally (which I still believe we have been doing) or do we put all of our chips in […]
Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets: Preview, injury report, how to watch
The Utah Jazz’s tanking effort gets a gift on Monday night, when Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets travel to Salt Lake City to take on the Jazz. The Nuggets are in the midst of the chaos that is the Western Conference’s Nos. 3-7-seed range, with only 3.5 games separating the No. 3 Rockets from […]
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Utah Jazz: Post Game Recap
The Utah Jazz successfully lose yet another must-lose tank-off game vs the New Orleans Pelicans, with the final score of 105-115. The Pelicans have nothing to lose since their pick goes to the Atlanta Hawks this year, but with this loss, the Utah Jazz and Pelicans are now tied for the 5th-best odds in landing […]
Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans: Preview, start time, channel, injury report
The Utah Jazz will take on the New Orleans Pelicans for the second game in a row. The Pelicans took a big lead in the last game and handled the Jazz pretty well until late. There will be a difference in this one with Keyonte George returning from injury. George has not played since he […]
Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans: Player Grades
Youth took center stage Thursday night when the Jazz met the Pelicans at the Delta Center, with four of the five Jazz starters aged 22 or younger. With multiple key players out of the lineup due to injury or season ending surgery, the game also provided second unit and bench players with extended minutes as […]
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Utah Jazz: Recap and Final Score
The Utah Jazz lost vital game in the tank-race against the New Orleans Pelicans, with a final score of 129-118. With this loss, Utah ties New Orleans in the win column, putting the Jazz well within reach of a top-five lottery position. The Jazz and Pelicans are currently on opposite trajectories – Utah is dropping […]
Utah Jazz sign Mo Bamba to 10-day contract
According to Shams Charania (through agents), the Utah Jazz have signed Mo Bamba to a 10-day contract. This likely comes because of the loss to Jusuf Nurkic, who is out for the season. Bamba was on the Jazz roster to start the season and now makes his return. We’ll see if this will turn into […]
New details on the Adam Silver Utah Jazz tanking feud
It looks like Adam Silver wants to have his cake and eat it, too. Yesterday, I wrote about Tony Jones reporting that the NBA was sending its own doctors to verify the injury to Lauri Markkanen. Today, Tony Jones apologized for getting something wrong. Apparently, they are just going to verify the MRIs, which is […]
Utah Jazz vs. New Orleans Pelicans: Preview, injury report, how to watch
The Utah Jazz will play in front of their fans for the first time in two weeks on Thursday night. Unfortunately for Jazz fans, it might not be a star-studded affair, as Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George are both listed as questionable for the game against New Orleans. With both player likely out, and the […]
Report: Adam Silver is sending independent doctors to verify Lauri Markkanen injury
According to Tony Jones, Adam Silver is sending independent doctors to verify the injury to Lauri Markkanen. This news comes on the heels of those independent doctors visiting the Indiana Pacers and pressuring them to medicate an injured player to play. What’s clear from this whole situation is that Adam Silver is not interested in […]
Evaluating the NBA’s proposed tanking antidotes
Everybody wants the NBA to fix tanking. Nobody knows how to do it. Tanking. You’ve seen the word thousands of times in your recent social media doom scroll. You’ve heard it repeated countless times on television and podcasts to the point of semantic satiation — the word is losing all meaning. It’s just a jumble […]
Utah Jazz Injury News: Lauri Markkanen suffers injury in practice
According to Kevin Reynolds, Lauri Markkanen was injured in practice and will receive an MRI. From Reynolds: Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen could miss some time after suffering an injury in practice on Wednesday. Markkanen will be evaluated for a right ankle and right hip injury, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. […]
The Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers are punishing ESPN and Adam Silver
Things move quickly in the NBA news cycle. It’s been a few weeks since the Utah Jazz were chosen to be the scapegoats for Adam Silver’s terrible plan to flatten lottery odds in 2019. Instead of the flattened odds preventing tanking, they made it worse by incentivizing middle-lottery teams to lose more. Utah had to […]
Utah Jazz Injury Update: Vince Williams Jr. feared to have significate ACL injury
According to Sarah Todd, it appears that Vince Williams Jr. may have suffered a season-ending injury in the Jazz’s game against the Houston Rockets. If you haven’t seen the play, Williams took a shot from Tari Eason coming down the court, and his knee appeared to hyperextend sideways. After the game, it looks like Keyonte […]
Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets Recap: Jazz can’t keep up on the road
The Jazz fell to the Rockets, 105-125, in a defeat that was all but assured ever since the opening quarter. Not that Jazz fans are complaining; with the next two games being against the Pelicans, where losses are far from guaranteed, an easy and relaxed addition to the teams ping pong balls versus Houston is […]
Utah Jazz vs Houston Rockets preview: Sizing it up in Houston
This was the news greeted by fans at 1 AM, as the team is headed to the Lone Star State to wrap up their two-game road trip against the Houston Rockets — wait for it….on National Television! Ever since the Jazz pulled the plug on Operation Jaren, Nurkic hasn’t been able to grace the floor […]
