The Utah Jazz are closing in on the end of the final tanking season of what has been an up-and-down rebuild. With just 12 games left, the Utah Jazz have some interesting injuries to deal with as well as a few new signings and releases.<\/p>\n
Lauri Markkanen injury update<\/p>\n
According to Sarah Todd, Lauri Markkanen will be re-evaluated in two weeks.<\/p>\n
Two weeks would be with a few games left in the season, and it\u2019s not likely the Jazz want to risk Markkanen for meaningless games, nor do they want any unnecessary wins to finish the season. They\u2019re already struggling enough to lose games with Ace Bailey and Cody Williams finding their stride.<\/p>\n
Utah Jazz sign Kennedy Chandler to 10-day contract<\/p>\n
According to Shams Charania, the Jazz have signed the G-League assist leader, Kennedy Chandler.<\/p>\n
In the 2025-26 G-League season, Chandler has averaged 15.3 points, 8.9 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 33.9 minutes per game. He\u2019s 23 years old and stands 6\u20190\u201d with a 6\u20195.25\u201d wingspan. That size will likely be the thing that holds him back, but you never know, Chandler could potentially impress the Jazz with these few games left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Utah Jazz are closing in on the end of the final tanking season of what has been…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597143,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3785],"tags":[7,423,49798,37786,6,422,427,8572,3972],"class_list":["post-670226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-utah-jazz","tag-basketball","tag-jazz","tag-jazz-injury-report","tag-jazz-news","tag-nba","tag-utah","tag-utah-jazz","tag-utah-jazz-game-coverage","tag-utahjazz"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116265615725555531","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
