Report: Utah Jazz interested in Lakers’ Austin Reaves

According to Eric Pincus, the Utah Jazz are interested in Austin Reaves. In this episode of the Jovan Buha podcast, you can listen to it. Pincus says: “I’ve heard that the Utah Jazz like Austin Reaves. I don’t think that’s a shock, but I’ve heard that that’s one of the teams that’s interested in Austin […]

NBA Draft Profile: AJ Dybantsa is the prize of the class

The top of the 2026 NBA Draft class is dominated by three names: AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cameron Boozer. Three players, each appealing for their own reasons. We have Dybantsa, a dynamic, flexible scorer with a refined taste for shot selection, draws fouls like an NBA superstar, and has an unmatched competitive drive despite […]

Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors: recap and final score

The Utah Jazz beat the Golden State Warriors in a game they really needed to lose 119-116. The first thing that needs to be said here is that the Golden State Warriors are pathetic from top to bottom. It starts with Steve Kerr, who decided to whine after the game was over about the number […]

Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors Player Grades

Auditions for next year’s roster continued in earnest Monday night when the shorthanded Utah Jazz took on the equally decimated Golden State Warriors at the Delta Center. News surfaced earlier that day that the Jazz released guard Vince Williams Jr, adding more incentive for players like Elijah Harkless, Blake Hinson, Oscar Tshiebwe and Cody Williams […]

REPORT: The Utah Jazz Waive Vince Williams Jr.

It’s been reported by multiple outlets now that the Utah Jazz have waived Vince Williams Jr. The news was expected; Williams Jr. tore his left ACL after colliding with Houston Rockets Forward Tari Eason on February 23rd. After being acquired with Jaren Jackson Jr. in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies, Williams Jr. only appeared […]

2026 NBA Draft Scouting Profile: Darryn Peterson

Darryn Peterson is currently the overall choice to go number one. This isn’t a scenario like last season with Cooper Flagg, who was guaranteed the number one spot. But Peterson is not far off of Flagg prospect-wise, and in any other draft—maybe one AJ Dybantsa isn’t in—Peterson would be the clear number one selection, with […]

Utah Jazz sign intriguing center to second 10-day contract

According to Michael Scotto, the Utah Jazz have signed center Mo Bamba to a second 10-day contract. Bamba fills a need with the injuries to Walker Kessler and Jusuf Nurkic. We’ll see if this amounts to anything but it’s clear that the Jazz are more interested in giving center minutes to Kyle Filipowski. That said, […]

Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks: Recap and final score

The Utah Jazz didn’t have enough to take out the Milwaukee Bucks, who now have Giannis Antetokounmpo back. With Giannis, the Bucks were able to consistently build leads against the Jazz, but would lose those leads in the minutes that Giannis was off the court. It’s a successful end for the Bucks, who win 113-99 […]

Utah Jazz vs Milwaukee Bucks preview: A deer in headlights

The Jazz came into the nation’s capital with their heart on their sleeve, and were only left with shattered dreams. They had lost the first of a 2-game regular season series against the Wizards with a heart-crushing loss, despite Trae Young making an appearance through two and a half quarters. All they can do now […]

Utah Jazz Reacts: Jazz fans think this player will be an All-Star next season

The Utah Jazz are near the end of a difficult four years of rebuilding. They’ve had successes and failures with their picks and development. Luckily, the successes have seemingly outweighed the failures. The Jazz have not been lucky on lottery night the last three seasons. Maybe this fourth season is the charm? Despite the bad […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Jazz fans and fans across the country.

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 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 […]
