Injury report

Utah Jazz

  • Jaren Jackson Jr.Questionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Jackson was traded from Memphis to Utah in February, though he appeared in only three regular-season games for the Jazz before undergoing surgery due to a growth in his left knee. The 2022-23 Defensive Player of the Year will look to make his presence felt on that end of the floor and anchor a now Kessler-less Jazz frontcourt. Jackson's two-way production will be crucial for a Utah team that's looking to return to playoff contention, and he hasn't averaged fewer than 18.6 points per game since the 2021-22 campaign, when he averaged 16.3 points per tilt for the Grizzlies.

    Cost -2.0 per 100
  • Trey AlexanderProbable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Alexander was taken off the court on a stretcher in Monday's 80-63 win over the Bulls due to a left rib contusion, and Utah is taking a cautious approach in its Summer League finale. The two-way player has plenty of time to recuperate ahead of training camp in the fall.

Phoenix Suns

  • Mark WilliamsOut· back Feb 1
    Report note

    This is a tough blow for the center with training camp right around the corner. With his status for Opening Night in jeopardy, this will put a lot of eyes on Oso Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach, with the latter already drawing buzz during the Summer League. More clarity on Williams' timeline should be known in the coming weeks.

    Cost -1.5 per 100
  • Duop ReathQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    With Mark Williams (shoulder) expected to miss around five months, Reath figures to compete for playing time with Khaman Maluach and Oso Ighodaro. Reath's 2025-26 campaign was cut short after he underwent right foot surgery in late January, and it's unclear if he'll be at full strength for training camp. Across 32 regular-season appearances for the Trail Blazers in 2025-26, he averaged 2.9 points and 1.2 rebounds across 8.1 minutes per contest.

    Cost -0.2 per 100
  • CJ HuntleyQuestionable· back Oct 1
    Report note

    Huntley will miss Phoenix's final three games in Las Vegas. He'll have plenty of time to rest up before training camp opens up in September.
