The 2023-24 NBA season for the Utah Jazz has unfolded with seismic shifts. It has been marked by the absence of key players that have long defined the team’s identity.

The Utah Jazz were without Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, and Kelly Olynyk during their Wednesday night matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, which made getting a win a difficult task already for head coach Will Hardy and his men. But the Jazz didn’t even put up a fight. They allowed Luka Doncic to thoroughly dissect them […]

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic and Utah Jazz guard Kris Dunn got into each other’s faces during Wednesday night’s game at American Airlines Center.

The Dallas Mavericks snapped a two-game losing streak with a dominant 147-97 victory over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Luka Doncic had a triple-double before the first-half came to an end, and Dallas was able to cruise to the win. Doncic and the entire Mavs team played well. Sure, they were going up against […]

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic dropped the first-ever 25-point triple-double in a half against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Doncic torched the Jazz for 38 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists through the waning moments of the third quarter. At that rate, the Mavs sensation could go off for 50 points and pad his […]

Luka Doncic woke up feeling dangerous Wednesday. The Utah Jazz are certainly feeling the wrath of the Dallas Mavericks superstar, as Doncic needed just the first two periods of the contest to rack up a triple-double. That’s not a typo. Indeed, the Slovenian managed to string together double-digits in points, rebounds, and assists in just […]

The Dallas Mavericks will host the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. The Mavs are looking to overcome their current slide, having dropped five of their past seven games heading into Wednesday’s affair.

The Utah Jazz have gotten off to a rough start early on in the 2023-24 NBA season. Utah is 25th in net rating (-6.4) and is performing on both ends like a team that’s destined for a top-5 pick rather than a playoff spot. While it’s still early and the sample size is relatively small, […]

As of late, Kelly Olynyk has proven in the NBA that he can be a reliable stretch big man, especially off the bench. Aside from his achievements in the NBA, the Utah Jazz big man also recently helped the Canada National basketball team bring home the bronze medal from the recently concluded FIBA World Cup. […]

Thursday, November 30 — The Minnesota Timberwolves welcomed the Utah Jazz to the Target Center, and the Wolves took down the Jazz, 101-90, coasting to their eighth home win in just nine games.

Will Hardy is managing players like Walker Kessler, Simone Fontecchio, Keyonte George, and other key players. His schematics paved the […]

A 5-11 team who already struggles to shoot the ball cannot typically afford to be without its best player.

The Utah Jazz haven’t gotten particularly close to NBA championship contention since Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dropped them off in consecutive NBA Finals in 1997 and 1998.

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner entered Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic territory after Indy’s 134-118 win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

Last season, Utah Jazz big man Walker Kessler made a very late run for the NBA’s Rookie of the Year Award.
