Isaiah Collier - Out for regular-season finale Collier (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Collier will miss a 13th straight game due to a left hamstring strain. The 21-year-old point guard will finish the 2025-26 campaign with averages of 11.7 points, 7.2 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 25.7 minutes per tilt over 59 regular-season outings (19 starts).

Kyle Filipowski - Done for season Filipowski (back) will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Lakers.

Impact Two consecutive absences will end Filipowski's second season in the NBA. He improved on most of his numbers from his rookie season but was especially potent down the stretch. After the All-Star break, he averaged 15.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.5 minutes.

13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Harkless - Won't play in regular-season finale Harkless (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Harkless will miss a seventh consecutive contest due to a left hamstring strain. The two-way player will finish the season with averages of 6.8 points, 2.9 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 21.0 minutes per game over 26 regular-season outings (nine starts).

13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Keyonte George - Won't play in finale George (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers.

Impact A hamstring injury caused George to miss 15 consecutive games to end the campaign. However, it was an excellent third season for the guard. In this breakout campaign, he averaged 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes.

13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lauri Markkanen - Ruled out for finale Markkanen (hip) will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Lakers.

Impact As expected, Markkanen will sit out the final game of the season. He ended the campaign having last played Feb. 23. Despite playing just 42 games, Markkanen had what could be considered a bounceback season -- at least in the box score. In his 34.4 minutes per game, he averaged 26.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals.

13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Brice Sensabaugh - Off injury report Sensabaugh (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Sensabaugh took a seat for Friday's win over Memphis but will return to action in Utah's regular-season finale. He has started each of his last seven appearances, during which he has averaged 22.4 points, 4.4 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per contest.

Cody Williams - Rough shooting effort Friday Williams had 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 147-101 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Williams didn't have a horrible showing Friday. However, he still had trouble finding the bottom of the net, which has been a recurring theme of late. With only one more game left on the regular-season schedule for Utah, Williams will presumably remain in the starting lineup in Sunday's meeting with the Lakers, assuming Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) remain on the shelf.

Hayden Gray - Inks deal with Utah The Jazz signed Gray to a two-year contract Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Gray spent most of the 2025-26 regular season in the G League with the Maine Celtics, where he appeared in 35 games and averaged 10.5 points, 6.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.4 threes and 2.3 steals over 29.8 minutes per game. He's never appeared in an NBA-level game, but he'll have the opportunity to do so in the Jazz's regular-season finale against the Lakers on Sunday.

Oscar Tshiebwe - Hauls in 22 rebounds in blowout Tshiebwe closed Friday's 147-101 win over the Grizzlies with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 FT), 22 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes.

Impact The Jazz had a huge size advantage over the Grizzlies, and Tshiebwe took advantage with a tremendous rebound total. Although the Jazz seem to have found their answer at center via Kyle Filipowski, Tshiebwe has provided apt support in the frontcourt since joining the parent club. The prognoses for Jusuf Nurkic (nose) and Walker Kessler (shoulder) are unclear, but a healthy Jaren Jackson (knee) will likely keep Thsiebwe buried on the depth chart next season if he stays with the team.

Bez Mbeng - Pops for triple-double from bench Mbeng amassed 27 points (12-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 147-101 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact The undrafted Yale product did a bit of everything in the blowout victory. Mbeng has turned heads since joining the parent club a month ago, and the team rewarded his encouraging play with a two-year contract. Despite the team's misfortunes, the Jazz are stacked at the guard positions. Mbeng's signing and Kennedy Chandler's excellent play signal the possibility for some trade activity emanating from the team's backcourt in the offseason.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Blake Hinson - Explodes for 30 points in rout Hinson amassed 30 points (12-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 147-101 win over Memphis.

Impact Utah's choice to improve its draft odds by filling the court with backups and two-way players backfired, as Hinson posted a massive total in the blowout. The rookie out of Pittsburgh has spent most of the season in the G League, but his elite shooting and NBA-caliber size give the 26-year-old a chance to make the parent club's roster next season. Hinson will likely draw the start in the season finale against the Lakers.
