The Jazz couldn't secure the rebound after the blocked shot, which led to an open 3-pointer by the Hornets. "We all just sort of died when the ball was in the air," head coach Will Hardy said.

The Utah Jazz were set to take on one of their few nationally televised games at the end of January against the Minnesota Timberwolves. According to insider Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune, the NBA has flexed the national TV spot they held against the Timberwolves on TNT for January 30th. The Jazz are now left with just one national TV showing for the remainder of their 2024-25 campaign, that game being on February 7th against the Phoenix Suns-- one day following the NBA trade deadline.

As the Utah Jazz tank the 2024-25 season, the hopes fall on jostling for top lottery position. This team has many needs and none more so than a bonafide superstar to complement Lauri Markkanen. "Scouts from the Jazz, Suns, Clippers, and Celtics watched Princeton star Xaivian Lee this weekend," Zagoria posted on X.

The Utah Jazz have had an up-and-down 2024-25 NBA campaign. Through nearly half the season, the Jazz are one of five teams not to put together over 10 wins, placing them at the bottom of the league standings and effectively looking ahead to this offseason's draft lottery rather than the playoffs. One of those appealing aspects of Utah's season has been the play of John Collins, and his improvement during his second year in a Jazz uniform. Collins has seen some noticeable improvements for his average in points, assists, steals, and three-point percentage since his first season in Salt Lake City, remaining as one of the focal points for this Jazz unit on both sides of the floor.

The Brooklyn Nets announced Monday that Cam Johnson, D'Angelo Russell, more are questionable for Tuesday's game at the Portland Trail Blazers.

Ben Simmons had 14 points, six rebounds, nine assists and two blocks while shooting 7/11 from the field in 32 minutes of playing time. After the game, the three-time NBA All-Star made a bold statement that got a lot of views on social media (h/t Brian Lewis of The New York Post). Simmons (via Lewis): "I know this is kind of like a rebuild situation, but we've got to go in there like we want to win regardless of what the front office is expecting." Simmons is in his third season playing for the Nets (and fourth with the organization).

The Brooklyn Nets dropped their fifth straight game to the Utah Jazz last night, 112-111. In overtime, Isaiah Collier hit a layup with 2.4 seconds left, sealing the deal for the Jazz. Tosan Evbuomwan is a 23-year-old hooper from the United Kingdom, having signed a two-way contract with the Nets just 12 days ago. Entering the league during the 2023-24 season, last night's loss to the Jazz was his 22nd game ever.

The move came during the consequential 2022 offseason, which saw the Jazz completely overhaul their roster and usher in a rebuild. It surprised many, myself included, when the Jazz decided to waive Butler after using the 40th pick on him just a year prior. After bouncing around between the G-League and the NBA over the past two seasons, Butler seems to have finally found his footing with the Washington Wizards.

Johnny Juzang and Isaiah Collier have family and friends in the Los Angeles area.
