As the regular season nears its conclusion, the Utah Jazz look poised to take the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. A big reason for that this year is due to the play of star Donovan Mitchell. When on the court, Mitchell has been sensational as he’s dazzled all season long for the Jazz. […]

At this point, the best-case scenario for the Los Angeles Lakers is to earn the No. 6 seed — an outcome that Frank Vogel admitted “looks unlikely” on Sunday, and remains so after the team’s LeBron James- and Anthony Davis-less win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Kuzma absolutely bails out anyone who had the […]

Damian Lillard sure knows how to drop bars. After the Portland Trail Blazers completed a statement win over the league-leading Utah Jazz on Wednesday, 105-98, Lillard gave a comment that would surely get the entire Rip City charged up (via ESPN). “It’s what our identity has always been. We put our hard hats on. (We’re) […]

Jordan Clarkson is a man who knows how to get buckets. The Utah Jazz guard has picked up the scoring slack for his squad with All-Star Donovan Mitchell sidelined with injury.

The general consensus for a while has been that Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson will win Sixth Man of the Year for the 2020-21 season. After all, he’s tops among primary bench scorers with 17.9 points per game as a reserve and is on the team with the best record in the league. There’s also […]

In this specific post, without burying the lede too much, we’re going to be doing a Jordan Clarkson rookie card watch update.

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell will be out for the team’s last three games of the regular season as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.

The Utah Jazz came close to what would have been a truly impressive comeback win over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.

Jordan Clarkson has been an absolute godsend for the Utah Jazz this season.

He was especially on his game on Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. The Filipino-American guard […]

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry gave the Utah Jazz hope of a comeback, only to break their hearts in the final seconds of Monday’s game.

It’s probably a safe statement to make that Donovan Mitchell is the best perimeter scorer in the history of the Utah Jazz.
