Trick or Treat! Jazz vs. Suns Preview, Injuries, How to Watch
Last time the Jazz played the Suns, they managed to secure a wild, improbable victory in overtime. Lauri Markkanen scored the first 50-burger since Karl Malone, Ace Bailey struggled with the flu, and Keyonte George continued his impressive start to the season.

Utah Jazz Reacts: Who should the Utah Jazz draft?
It’s become a cliche, but the upcoming draft is looking very good, especially at the top. The top three players in this draft are all #1 pick worthy, and whoever wins that coveted first spot is going to have a good problem on their hands: who should be that #1 pick Between Cam Boozer, AJ […]
Utah Jazz announce rookie scale extensions
According to the Utah Jazz, they have exercised fourth-year rookie-scale team options on Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, and Brice Sensabaugh. They also extended third-year rookie-scale team options on Isaiah Collier and Cody Williams. If you’re wondering about Kyle Filipowski, because he was a second-round pick, this doesn’t apply to him. It’s a good sign for […]
Utah Jazz unveil 2025-26 city uniforms
The Utah Jazz released their new city edition uniforms and it was a play on the gradient that was a fan favorite of the past. Before they released they teased what they’d look like. Then at 10, the Jazz social team did a great job releasing the new look. It’s a mix of grey and […]
Utah Jazz vs Portland Trailblazers: Game Recap & a lot more!
If you did your best Chauncey Billups impression and bet on this game, I hate to break it to you, but you lost some money tonight. The Utah Jazz couldn’t quite get it done tonight vs the Portland Trailblazers in what ended up being a very close game after trailing big in the 4th, which […]
The Downbeat: Keyonte George’s transformation goes deeper than you may realize
IT WOULD BE EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE if your focus wasn’t beaming onto Utah’s Keyonte George at the moment. Lauri Markkanen just assaulted Phoenix for a career-high 51 points on Monday, and appears to be back in All-Star form (who could have foreseen?). The Jazz, in turn, have apparently discarded all blueprints for their hole-in-the-ground residence at […]
Utah Jazz square off against the Portland Trail Blazers in SLC: preview, injuries, how to watch
When will the madness end? The Utah Jazz are 2-1 to open the 2025-26 NBA season, having only lost one game by a single point on the year. Walker Kessler hasn’t missed a three-pointer, nor has he missed from anywhere else on the floor. Lauri Markkanen and his granite biceps chistled by Finnish Michelangelo himself […]
The Utah Mammoth are making me nostalgic for high-level, playoff Utah Jazz basketball
The Utah Mammoth have been such a welcome addition to the Beehive State. For a state that has a very small and limited history with the sport, seeing the team explode within our communities has been a pleasant experience. From lifelong fans to beginners who don’t even know what they are looking at — my […]
Utah Jazz vs Phoenix Suns: recap and final score

Behind a career-high from Lauri Markkanen, the Jazz sneak out of the Delta Center with their first overtime win of the season. Here are the grades from tonight.

Utah Jazz vs Phoenix Suns preview: What can they learn from their first-season loss?
The Jazz massively overachieved in their first two outings of the NBA Season; they return to Salt Lake City to carry the same energy. Phoenix has started the season with a 1-2 record — largely due to their horrific defense. They’ve allowed the sixth-most points per game in the league at 126 a game. It’s […]
What Socrates could teach the Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz have been in flux since the Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell trades. Last season, finally, it felt like the Jazz understood how important it is to find talent in the draft to succeed in a rebuild. After a difficult season of losing compounded by a lottery night loss, Ryan Smith made a […]
NBA Reacts: What Jazz player do fans think will be traded?
It’s already been a crazy season so far for the Utah Jazz with a surprise win against the Clippers and then a tough loss against the Kings. It’s not clear what will change with the team as the season goes along, but one thing is for sure, we’ll start hearing trade rumors as the season […]
Ace Bailey flu game (not good) and Markkanen mania highlight Jazz vs Kings player grades
A one-point loss at the horn — not a bad way to go for a team of the Utah Jazz’s standing. A needed loss to keep the locomotive from slinging off the rails on a short-sighted winning frenzy. Two straight wins to open the season would have split Jazz fans into warring factions, each carrying […]

The Downbeat: Salivating over a platter of city edition jerseys
The Utah Jazz are a classic story of rags to riches. Not in terms of wins and losses, no, of course not. This is a team that won 17 out of 82 games last season — dead last in the NBA — has never and will never be a free agent destination, and resides in […]
Utah Jazz vs Los Angeles Clippers: Season tip-off preview
This is it; the beginning of another season approaches. 82 games lined up like dominoes, one into the other, into the other, toppling in succession in a chain that can only reach one fate.
