Kenneth Lofton Jr.

UTA Power Forward #34

According to Tony Jones of The Athletic, the Jazz have waived Kenneth Lofton Jr. and Darius Bazley.

Lofton and Bazley played with the Jazz last season, with the former appearing in four games and the latter six. Neither departure will impact fantasy basketball, as Lofton and Bazley weren’t in the rotation most nights.
Kyle Filipowski

UTA Power Forward

Kyle Filipowski finished Sunday’s 97-87 win over Detroit with 26 points (8-of-22 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 34 minutes.

After struggling during Utah’s summer league games in Salt Lake City, Filipowski looked more comfortable in Las Vegas. The role likely had something to do with that, as Walker Kessler’s absence led to the rookie being moved from power forward to center. While Filipowski did encounter some issues defensively, he has the offensive skill set needed to force mismatches on the other end. With Utah appearing to be all-in on the 2025 draft class, playing time may not be hard to come by for the rookie. And if the Jazz were to trade Lauri Markkanen, Filipowski’s fantasy ceiling would increase significantly.
Kyle Filipowski

UTA Power Forward

Kyle Filipowski provided solid value on Thursday with 13 points (4-of-10 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two triples against the Clippers.

Despite a slow start to the summer, Filipowski has played much better during their games in Las Vegas. He moved into the starting lineup and has scored in double figures in four straight games. However, that isn’t a role that will be there for him during the regular season. Filipowski will be in a reserve role, though he has shown some upside so far this summer. If the Jazz make moves at the trade deadline, he could be a player that shines during silly season in extended minutes.
Isaiah Collier

UTA Point Guard

Isaiah Collier led the Jazz with 20 points (8-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in a 105-88 loss to the Clippers on Thursday.

Collier has played well this summer, but this was by far his best scoring performance. His previous scoring high was 14 in his Summer League debut, which he shattered on Thursday night. He has had the ball in his hands more with Keyonte George done for the summer, which has given him the chance to shine. Collier is absolutely worthy of a stash in dynasty formats, though his role for this upcoming season is still unclear due to the team’s depth.
Russell Westbrook

UTA Point Guard #0

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Los Angeles is sending Westbrook, a second-round pick swap, and cash to Utah in a sign-and-trade deal for Kris Dunn.

Westbrook is expected to reach a buyout agreement with the Jazz so that he can join the Denver Nuggets in free agency. His fantasy outlook isn’t great coming off the bench behind fringe All-Star Jamal Murray and three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, so don’t expect him to increase his value after averaging 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game last season.
Kyle Filipowski

UTA Power Forward

Kyle Filipowski played 26 minutes in Wednesday’s win over Toronto, accumulating 20 points (9-of-16 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block, and two 3-pointers.

After struggling to begin summer league play, Filipowski has steadily improved for the Jazz. Since the action shifted from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, he has been used as a center, with Walker Kessler no longer playing. The position change has benefitted Filipowski, whose comfort on the perimeter enables Utah to play a five-out system on offense. He does need to improve defensively, but the stats (three steals and one blocked shot) were there on Wednesday. Filipowski would have value as a late-round pick if Utah’s roster goes unchanged. However, he’s a player whose fantasy value would benefit significantly if the Jazz were offered a deal for Lauri Markkanen that they could not refuse.
Taylor Hendricks

UTA Power Forward #0

Taylor Hendricks shot 9-of-10 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Wednesday’s 86-76 win over Toronto, tallying 23 points, nine rebounds, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 29 minutes.

Hendricks had his best performance of the summer on Wednesday, missing just one shot attempt while leading the Jazz in scoring and rebounding. However, the defense is noteworthy, as the Jazz have used Kyle Filipowski as their starting center in Las Vegas. The rookie second-round pick isn’t the rim protector that Walker Kessler is, which has put Hendricks in a position where he has to be more active as a help-side defender. He blocked three shots on Saturday and recorded another one on Wednesday. Improved defensive production will go a long way toward ensuring Hendricks of quality minutes once the season begins.
Cody Williams

UTA Small Forward

Cody Williams amassed 14 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocked shots in 31 minutes in Monday’s 82-70 loss to the Kings.

Williams has looked more comfortable in Las Vegas than Salt Lake City, and increased opportunities to serve as a playmaker have helped. While the assist tally (one) may not be impressive, the first-round pick out of Colorado was able to set up teammates on numerous occasions. Williams’ fantasy value could be low to begin the season, but he’s a player who would flourish if the Jazz pulled the plug and went all-in on “Capture the (Cooper) Flag(g)” after the calendar flips to 2025.
Brice Sensabaugh

UTA Small Forward #8

Brice Sensabaugh has been diagnosed with a torn extensor tendon in his left middle finger and will miss the remainder of the NBA 2K25 Summer League.

Sensabaugh injured his finger during the second quarter of Saturday’s game against the Mavericks. According to the team, the finger will be placed in a splint, and Sensabaugh will be re-evaluated in six weeks. His absence will free up additional minutes for Taevion Kinsey, who’s on a two-way contract.
Kyle Filipowski

UTA Power Forward

Kyle Filipowski shot 5-of-10 from the field in Saturday’s win over Dallas, accumulating 10 points, six rebounds, two assists, and one blocked shot in 20 minutes.

After coming off the bench during Utah’s games in Salt Lake City, Filipowski moved into the starting lineup for the Jazz’s Las Vegas opener. He filled the void left by Walker Kessler, moving into the center position. Whether or not Filipowski can defend that position full-time at the NBA level remains to be seen, but the more versatile he is, the better it will be for him in terms of minutes. Taylor Hendricks (8/8/4/1/3) offered good defensive production next to the rookie, blocking three shots, and that kind of cover may be required to ensure Filipowski is successful when asked to play the five.
