Utah Jazz

George Hill has not played for the Utah Jazz since November 29th while tending to a sprained big toe in his left foot. Injuries in general have limited him to 11 appearances all season. But he might be making appearance No. 12 on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon: George Hill [...]

The Golden State Warriors are chugging along at the top of the western conference and NBA standings as we head toward the NBA’s Christmas day spectacular. When you ask most fans or prognosticators who the Warriors’ biggest threat in the western conference is, the majority will say the Spurs, followed by the Clippers, and maybe [...]

The Utah Jazz are getting healthy! Sort of. Okay, not really. But they are welcoming Derrick Favors back to the lineup following a 13-game absence while dealing with a bone contusion in his left knee. Here’s ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon with the lowdown: Favors isn’t expected to play much against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as he [...]

One of George Hill and Derrick Favors seems like they are going to get an extension from the Utah Jazz before this season is over. And it’s probably going to be Hill, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The Utah Jazz currently possess more than $13 million in cap space, which makes them even more interesting [...]

Dwight Howard has always loved a good laugh, apparently even if it’s at the expense of his mother. Howard told CBS Sports Radio Tuesday morning that he played a mini prank during the off-season by telling his mom that he signed with the Utah Jazz. She actually cried.

What was it we were saying about the Utah Jazz finally getting healthy? Alec Burks remains out indefinitely after having ankle surgery; Boris Diaw is still sidelined with a leg injury; George Hill, their offensive lifeline, has missed the last few tilts with a thumb issue; and now Derrick Favors, who already missed the start [...]

Now, about the Utah Jazz winning 50 games this season…that’s probably not going to happen. It’s not that the Jazz don’t have the talent to reach that mark. No, no, no. They’re just a magnet for injury bugs. Boris Diaw is the latest to fall victim. He will miss at least the next two weeks [...]

The Utah Jazz just can’t seem to reach full strength. Derrick Favors only recently returned from a left knee injury, and Gordon Hayward won’t play until late November at the earliest after breaking his finger. Now the Jazz have lost Alec Burks for an undisclosed period of time, per a team announcement: Following multiple medical [...]

The Utah Jazz are still trying to ensure Rudy Gobert never reaches restricted free agency. With the deadline for extensions fast approaching, Gobert and the Jazz remain locked in contract talks, per The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski: [tweet https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/792793399099293696] Gobert and the Jazz have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Halloween night to hash out an agreement. [...]

The Utah Jazz do not seem overly worried about Gordon Hayward’s scheduled foray into free agency next summer. That’s a big deal. Hayward holds a player option on 2017-18 worth a little more than $16.7 million, which he will decline. He is in the prime of his career and the salary cap is expected to [...]
