Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Leads Utah in preseason opener
Juzang notched 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt), a rebound and two assists across 19 minutes off the bench in Friday's 116-87 preseason win over the Breakers.
The bench players received significant run in the preseason opener, and Juzang made the most of his opportunity, leading Utah in scoring and showing he might belong at the NBA level despite playing on a two-way deal. A couple more strong showings in preseason could allow Juzang to compete for a regular-season roster spot.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Solid in preseason opener
Markkanen registered 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds across 16 minutes in Friday's 116-87 preseason win over the Breakers.
Markkanen was the only member of the starting unit who didn't reach the 15-minute plateau, but he didn't need to play much to leave his mark on the game as one of six Utah players who scored in double digits. Markkanen signed a five-year, $238 million contract extension with the Jazz in early August and will operate as the team's go-to player on offense as long as he stays healthy. He averaged 23.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.2 three-pointers and 2.0 assists in 33.1 minutes per game over 55 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Efficient in preseason win
George notched 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and five assists across 23 minutes in Friday's 116-87 preseason win over the Breakers.
George was one of three starters who surpassed the 20-minute mark in the preseason opener and looked sharp, missing just two shots from the field and getting his teammates involved early and often. George will open his second season in The Association as the Jazz's starting point guard and as one of the team's go-to players on offense alongside Lauri Markkanen.

Jazz's Patty Mills: Won't suit up Friday
Mills (rest) will not play against the NBL Breakers in Friday's preseason opener, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Mills will not suit up Friday, though it is expected that it's nothing more than a rest day for the veteran. The 36-year-old's next chance to suit up during the preseason will come Monday versus the Rockets.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Ready for training camp
Williams (illness) will be a full participant in training camp, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Williams missed Utah's Summer League finale with an illness, but his status for camp wasn't in doubt. The No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Williams should be able to compete for a rotation spot right away with the Jazz undergoing a rebuild.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Good to go
Sexton (illness) will be a full participant during training camp this week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sexton had four consecutive absences due to an illness to end his 2023-24 campaign. He made a total of 78 appearances in the regular season, averaging 18.7 points, 4.9 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 0.8 steals in 26.6 minutes. It's likely that he plays a similar role in 2024-25, though the Jazz did add Isaiah Collier with the 29th pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Cleared to play
Sensabaugh (finger) has been cleared to participate in training camp this week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Sensabaugh tore an extensor tendon in his left middle finger during Summer League and was given a six-week timetable, so he likely had plenty of time to work on his game during the offseason. He made 32 regular-season appearances as a rookie, posting averages of 7.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.3 minutes.

Jazz's Jason Preston: Healthy for camp
Preston (personal) will be a full participant in training camp, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Preston missed back-to-back games to end Summer League action due to personal reasons, but he's ready to roll for camp. The Jazz signed Preston to a two-way contract over the offseason, and it's likely that he spends most of his time in Salt Lake to open the 2024-25 season.

Jazz's John Collins: Cleared for camp
Collins (back) will be a full participant during training camp, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The Jazz shut Collins down on March 29 with a back injury, though they were likely being cautious with nothing to play for. The veteran compiled averages of 15.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 28.0 minutes per game across 68 appearances, but he'll face stiffer competition this season from Taylor Hendricks in the frontcourt.

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: Good to go
Hendricks (personal) will be a full participant in training camp, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Hendricks missed Utah's final Summer League game to tend to a personal matter, so his status for camp wasn't in any real doubt. Coach Will Hardy spoke highly of Hendricks during Media Day, and noted that the forward put on 21 pounds during the offseason.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Cleared to play
Markkanen (shoulder) will be a full participant in training camp this week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Markkanen missed Utah's final nine games of the 2023-24 season, and he wasn't able to play for the Finnish national team during the 2024 FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament in July. He has a clean bill of health now, however, and he will be returning as the focal point of Utah's offense after securing a five-year, $238 million contract extension with the Jazz.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Good to go for camp
Collier (knee) will be a full go for training camp, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Collier missed Utah's final exhibition game in Las Vegas due to pain in his right knee, but the issue wasn't considered serious. The 29th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Collier could win the backup point guard role behind Keyonte George with a strong showing during the preseason.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Healthy for camp
Clarkson (back) will be a full go for training camp this week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Clarkson battled some joint inflammation in his back to cut his 2023-24 season short. The veteran ended up making 55 appearances in the regular season, averaging 17.1 points, 5.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 41.3 percent from the field. The Jazz had a quiet offseason, so it's likely that Clarkson will play a similar role in 2024-25.

Jazz's Walker Kessler: Will play with starters in camp
Coach Will Hardy said Tuesday he anticipates Kessler playing a lot with the starters during the preseason, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
After starting 40 games in 2022-23, Kessler made only 22 starts last year. Hardy was far from committal about Kessler being a starter to begin the 2024-25 campaign, but it does sound like the youngster will at least get a chance to compete for the top spot. The Jazz have a deep frontcourt with a solid mix of prospects and veteran players, and it's unclear how the playing time will be sorted out. For now, Lauri Markkanen and John Collins are the only guys guaranteed starter minutes.

Jazz's Taevion Kinsey: Headed back to Utah
The Jazz signed Kinsey to an Exhibit 10 contract Friday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Kinsey was previously on a two-way deal with Utah but was waived in July. He will now compete for a regular-season roster spot.

Jazz's Dane Goodwin: Lands Exhibit 10 deal
Goodwin agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Jazz on Monday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Goodwin spent most of last season with the G League's Stockton Kings and could head back to the G League this year. Over 26 regular-season appearances for Stockton last year, he averaged 7.0 points and 3.8 rebounds in 22.4 minutes per game.

Jazz's Isaiah Wong: Signs with Utah
Wong agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Jazz on Monday, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.
Wong was selected by the Pacers with the 55th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and spent most of last year in the G League. He averaged 14.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 27.0 minutes per game over 30 appearances in the G League and will attempt to carve out a role with the Jazz during camp this year. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land back in the G League this season.

Jazz's Keshawn Justice: Expected to sign with Jazz
Justice will sign an Exhibit 10 contract with the Jazz, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Justice averaged 6.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 13.0 minutes per game in the Las Vegas Summer League, and he's been a regular fixture with the SLC Stars organization. Justice will add depth in training camp, but he's a long shot to make the Jazz roster.
