Johnny Juzang Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Grizzlies vs Timberwolves game on tomorrow with our National Basketball Association injury report.Oct 22, 2025
Not starting Wednesday
Juzang is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Juzang received a spot-start in Minnesota's preseason finale, but he'll return to a reserve role for Opening Night. Through 64 games last season, Juzang averaged 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.
Oct 18, 2025
Signs two-way deal
Juzang signed a two-way contract with the Timberwolves on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang was an obvious standout during the preseason for Minnesota, so this news is hardly a surprise. Across four exhibitions, Juzang averaged 13.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.8 three-pointers in 17.0 minutes per contest. He's likely to spend a lot of time in the G League to open the season.
Oct 17, 2025
Starting Friday
Juzang is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason contest against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves are resting the majority of their rotation for this final preseason tune-up, so Juzang is in line to see expanded minutes. This will be his final chance to show the coaching staff he deserves a role off the bench once the regular season begins on Oct. 22 against the Trail Blazers.
Oct 14, 2025
Excels in bench role
Juzang posted 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 134-74 preseason win over the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
ANALYSIS
Juzang found his shooting touch from beyond the arc in this one, pacing all bench players in points while tying for the team high in steals. The UCLA product appears to be buried on the depth chart as the regular season approaches, but he was able to show what he can do Monday while the T-Wolves rested a good chunk of the usual starters.
Oct 7, 2025
Scores game-high 20 points
Juzang racked up 20 points (6-9 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 135-134 overtime preseason loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Juzang was scorching hot from beyond the arc Tuesday, hitting six of his eight attempts from deep. He only played limited minutes off the bench, but definitely made his presence felt with his shooting.
Oct 5, 2025
Provides spark off bench in win
Juzang logged 16 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 126-116 preseason win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Juzang saw extended playing time in Saturday's exhibition contest and finished second behind Bones Hyland (18) in points. Juzang spent the first three years of his NBA career with the Jazz before signing a one-year deal with the Timberwolves in early August. He appeared in 64 regular-season games (18 starts) for Utah during the 2024-25 campaign and averaged 19.8 minutes per game, though he's facing stiff competition for playing time from Donte DiVincenzo and Terrence Shannon.
Aug 1, 2025
To join Minnesota
Juzang and the Timberwolves agreed to a one-year contract on Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
After three years in Utah, Juzang will join his second NBA team. He's coming off his best season in 2024-25, as he made 64 regular-season appearances with averages of 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 19.8 minutes per game. Rotation minutes won't come as easy in Minnesota, however.
Jun 30, 2025
Heading into free agency
The Jazz are waiving Juzang, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang played a fairy significant role for the injury-riddled Jazz last year, averaging 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 19.8 minutes per contest over 64 games. The 24-year-old also shot 37.6 percent from downtown in 2024-25, so he should be able to draw some interest in free agency this summer from teams in need of three-point scoring off the bench.
Apr 14, 2025
Sinks three triples in finale
Juzang logged 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Juzang made his fifth consecutive start in the club's regular-season finale, and he posted double-digit points in all five outings. The sharpshooter appeared in 64 regular-season games for the non-contending Jazz, finishing with averages of 8.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals across 19.8 minutes per contest in the 2024-25 campaign. The 24-year-old showcased his shooting ability over a larger sample size than in his first two seasons, shooting 37.6 percent from beyond the arc.
Apr 10, 2025
Stuffs stat sheet in OT win
Juzang provided 14 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 133-126 overtime win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Even though Kyle Filipowski turned heads with his play and carried the Jazz to victory, Juzang was among the top performers of the team as well due to his ability to impact the game on both ends of the court. Juzang has scored in double digits in nine of Utah's last 10 games, averaging 12.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game in that stretch.
Apr 6, 2025
Sinks five triples in loss
Juzang chipped in 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-11 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 147-134 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The sharpshooter made his third start in the club's last four games due to Walker Kessler (concussion) being sidelined. Juzang tied the game-high mark in steals and was one of five Jazz players to log at least 15 points in the high-scoring affair. The 24-year-old has scored double-digit points in eight of his last 10 outings, averaging 11.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 three-pointers and 1.6 assists across 23.5 minutes per contest in that span.
Apr 4, 2025
Set to start Friday
Juzang is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will replace Walker Kessler (nose/concussion) in the starting five Friday. Juzang has averaged 9.7 points and 4.2 rebounds in 22.5 minutes across his previous 10 starting appearances.
Apr 2, 2025
Back to bench role
Juzang will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will revert to his bench role for the Jazz, with the team going with Isaiah Collier and Brice Sensabaugh in the starting lineup. In 45 games in a reserve role, the 23-year-old guard averaged 7.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game, shooting 44.6 percent from the floor and 38.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Mar 31, 2025
Part of first unit against Hornets
Juzang will start Monday's game against Charlotte, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Cody Williams is out with an illness Monday, opening up a spot in the first unit for Juzang. Over 12 games as a starter this year, Juzang has averaged 10.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 22.8 minutes.
Mar 24, 2025
Leading scorer off bench in loss
Juzang finished Sunday's 120-91 loss to Cleveland with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Juzang provided a lift off the Utah bench in Sunday's contest, leading all bench players in scoring and concluding as one of five Jazz players with a double-digit scoring total. Juzang reached double figures in scoring while coming off the bench for the 15th time, doing so in two straight outings.
Mar 12, 2025
Slides back to bench
Juzang won't start Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Juzang had started in seven of Utah's last nine games due to injuries to Collin Sexton and Lauri Markkanen. Now that both are healthy, Juzang will shift to a reserve role. During that stretch, Juzang averaged 9.2 points and 3.7 rebounds across 20.8 minutes.
Mar 9, 2025
Back in starting lineup
Juzang will start Sunday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will make his fifth start over the last six games due to Collin Sexton (ankle) being out of the lineup again. Across his last four starts, Juzang averaged 11.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 23.0 minutes per contest.
Mar 7, 2025
Coming off bench Friday
Juzang is not in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Raptors on Friday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will cede his spot in the starting lineup to Collin Sexton, who missed Wednesday's loss to the Wizards due to a left ankle injury. Juzang had his best outing of the season Wednesday, finishing with 27 points, seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes.
Mar 6, 2025
Scores season-high 27 points
Juzang finished Wednesday's 125-122 loss to the Wizards with 27 points (10-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz were without most of their regular starters in this contest, something that has been a trend over the last few games, and Juzang continues to take advantage of the opportunity -- this time, he delivered his best scoring output of the 2024-25 campaign. Juzang is averaging 10.2 points, 4.1 boards and 1.2 assists per game in his previous 10 starts this season.
Feb 28, 2025
Starting Friday vs. Minnesota
Juzang is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will make his seventh start of the season Friday due to the absence of Jordan Clarkson (foot). Juzang has averaged 8.2 points on 44.3 percent shooting and 1.8 rebounds over 16.2 minutes per game since the beginning of February.
Feb 26, 2025
Back to bench Wednesday
Juzang will return to a bench role for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
After being in the starting lineup for Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, Juzang will resume his role in the second unit for Utah. Jordan Clarkson will be a starter Wednesday against Sacramento, where he averages 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, shooting 43.5 percent from the floor and 37.7 percent from beyond the arc.
Feb 24, 2025
Jumps into starting lineup
Juzang is in the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The short-handed Jazz will give Juzang a look in the starting lineup for the sixth time this season. Over five games with the first unit this year, the 23-year-old has averaged 10.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 23.3 minutes.
Feb 9, 2025
Hits four triples in loss
Juzang racked up 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three steals and one assist over 25 minutes during Saturday's 130-110 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The sharpshooter finished as the club's third-leading scorer behind Jordan Clarkson (24 points) and Keyonte George (21 points). Juzang also supplied a game- and season-high three swipes, albeit in a losing effort. The 23-year-old has appeared in three consecutive contests following a 12-game absence due to a fractured right hand, during which he has averaged 9.7 points and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting 42.9 percent from downtown in 17.3 minutes per contest.
Feb 1, 2025
Available against Orlando
Juzang (hand) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
After missing 10 straight games for the Jazz with a right hand fracture, Juzang will return to the floor Saturday when the Jazz host the Magic in Utah. The 23-year-old guard is averaging a career-high 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game this season, shooting 41.8 percent from the floor and 40 percent from beyond the arc.
Jan 30, 2025
Downgraded to out
Juzang (hand) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang (hand) will miss his 10th straight contest Thursday after being downgraded from doubtful to out due to a fractured right hand. Juzang's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Orlando.
Jan 29, 2025
Questionable for Thursday
Juzang is questionable for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Juzang is working his way back from a right hand fracture, and the questionable tag suggests the third-year veteran will be a game-time call for this matchup. He hasn't played since Jan. 9 due to the injury.
Jan 28, 2025
Absence streak continues
Juzang (hand) is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
A fractured right hand will hold Juzang out for an eighth consecutive game Tuesday, and the swingman holds an uncertain timetable for a return to Utah's lineup ahead of Thursday's matchup against Minnesota. With several key contributors also sidelined for the Jazz on Tuesday, Brice Sensabaugh and Elijah Harkless should soak up extra minutes.
Jan 26, 2025
Out for Monday
Juzang (hand) is out for Monday's game against the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will miss an eighth straight game due to a fractured right hand. While he remains without a timetable for return, his net opportunity to suit up comes Tuesday against the Warriors.
Jan 24, 2025
Another absence coming
Juzang (hand) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will miss his seventh straight contest Friday due to a fractured right hand. While there is no official timetable for Juzang's return, his next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Jan 21, 2025
Still out with fractured hand
Juzang (hand) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Juzang is nursing a fractured hand, and his timeline for return to the Jazz remains unclear. With rookie first-rounder Cody Williams (ankle) out against Oklahoma City, Utah may be forced to turn to Kyle Filipowski to handle heavy minutes.
Jan 19, 2025
Out vs. New Orleans
Juzang (hand) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang is dealing with a fractured hand, so his absence here isn't surprising. The former UCLA standout doesn't have a timetable for his return to the hardwood.
Jan 16, 2025
Out again Friday
Juzang (hand) will miss Friday's game against the Pelicans, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Juzang is dealing with a fractured right hand. He currently does haven't a timetable for a return, but he's likely to miss several games.
Jan 14, 2025
Another absence coming
Juzang (hand) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang's absence streak will extend to three games Wednesday due to a fractured right hand. While Utah has not yet released an official return timetable, the 23-year-old guard will likely miss significant time.
Jan 12, 2025
Out again Sunday
Juzang (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Juzang is expected to miss extended time after fracturing his right hand, but the Jazz haven't released an official rehab timetable yet. Brice Sensabaugh (illness) and Cody Williams will be candidates for additional minutes in Juzang's absence.
Jan 11, 2025
Officially ruled out
Juzang (hand) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Juzang has been downgraded from questionable to out Saturday due to right hand soreness. With Brice Sensabaugh (conditioning) also out, Cody Williams will likely receive increased playing time. Juzang's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Brooklyn.
Jan 10, 2025
Questionable for Saturday
Juzang (hand) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Juzang has started five of Utah's last six games, but right hand soreness is jeopardizing his status for Saturday. If the 23-year-old can't go against the Suns, the Jazz could be forced to turn to Cody Williams and Patty Mills for significant minutes, as Keyonte George (heel) has already been ruled out.
Jan 5, 2025
Back in starting lineup
Juzang will start Sunday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Juzang enters the starting five due to Lauri Markkanen (back) and John Collins (personal) being sidelined. In two starts this season Juzang holds averages of 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per game.
Jan 4, 2025
Retreating to bench Saturday
Juzang is not in the Jazz's starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Juzang started in the Jazz's last two games and averaged 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds over 23.0 minutes per contest over that span. However, he will cede his spot in the starting to John Collins, who is returning Saturday from a five-game absence due to a left hip contusion.
Dec 30, 2024
Starting Monday
Juzang will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The sharpshooter will record his first start of the season with Jordan Clarkson retreating to the bench. Over his last five outings, Juzang has averaged 6.2 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 53.3 percent from downtown in 14.0 minutes per contest.
Dec 27, 2024
Delivers from deep in loss Thursday
Juzang recorded 14 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes during Thursday's 122-120 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Juzang sank three-plus three-pointers for the seventh time this season while delivering an efficient spark off the bench. The sharpshooter has carved out a consistent role in his third year, and he is shooting 39.6 percent from beyond the arc through 25 regular-season appearances. Juzang has hit the double-digit mark in scoring in five of his last 10 outings, during which he has averaged 9.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 18.0 minutes per contest.
Dec 17, 2024
Productive from deep in loss Monday
Juzang logged 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Monday's 144-107 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Juzang led Utah in three-pointers made while logging 20-plus minutes for the seventh time in the 2024-25 campaign. The two-way guard has provided a valuable spark off the bench for the Jazz this season, and in his last five outings, he has averaged 11.0 points while shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 46.9 percent from beyond the arc across 22.0 minutes per contest.
Dec 7, 2024
Productive off bench Friday
Juzang produced 22 points (8-14 FG, 6-11 3Pt) and two rebounds in 26 minutes during Friday's 141-99 win over Portland.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz secured one of their biggest wins in recent memory, and the nature of the contest allowed some of the bench players to get extra minutes in the second half. Juzang, a former UCLA standout, recorded his best scoring output of the campaign and also extended his streak of games with double-digit points to three contests. While the third-year guard is having his most productive stretch of the season, his fantasy value shouldn't be very high, as he's strictly a bench option who rarely logs more than 20 minutes per appearance.
Dec 4, 2024
Plays well off bench
Juzang chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and one assist over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 133-106 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Juzang reached double-digit points for the second game in a row, and he saw his second largest workload of the season. Jordan Clarkson (foot) has missed five games in a row for the Jazz, and Juzang made a strong case to the coaching staff to keep him more involved Tuesday.
Nov 8, 2024
Scores 12 points off bench
Juzang registered 12 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Over his last three appearances, Juzang has averaged 12.3 points and 1.0 steals over 20.3 minutes per game. The Jazz got Jordan Clarkson (heel), Lauri Markkanen (back) and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) back Thursday, but Juzang remained in the rotation and played well, which bodes well for his role moving forward.
Nov 3, 2024
Strong output off bench
Juzang closed with 17 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 129-103 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Juzang took advantage of the absence of Jordan Clarkson (heel) to operate as Utah's primary scoring weapon off the bench. This 17-point output was even more surprising since he went scoreless in his first two appearances. Juzang should continue to see minutes off the bench as long as the Jazz remain depleted, though his fantasy upside is minimal and should only be considered a streaming alternative in specific slates.
Oct 29, 2024
Suiting up Tuesday
Juzang (thumb) is available to play in Tuesday's game against the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang is expected to make his 2024-25 debut after missing the club's first three regular-season outings due to a sprained right thumb. The 23-year-old impressed during the preseason, and he should play a role off the bench behind Jordan Clarkson with Isaiah Collier (hamstring) out.
Oct 29, 2024
Questionable for Tuesday
Juzang (thumb) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Juzang has yet to play in a regular-season game this season due to a thumb sprain. Even if he's cleared to suit up, he's not guaranteed any playing time.
Oct 27, 2024
Won't play Monday
Juzang (thumb) is out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Juzang has yet to appear this season as he struggles with a thumb injury. His continued absence doesn't have any fantasy implications.
Oct 24, 2024
Out Friday
Juzang (thumb) will not play in Friday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will miss his second consecutive regular-season game due to a right thumb sprain. The 23-year-old's next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Mavericks.
Oct 22, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Juzang is out for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a right thumb sprain, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang's absence shouldn't affect Utah's rotation significantly. The 23-year-old guard's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Golden State.
Oct 8, 2024
Solid outing once again
Juzang recorded 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, an assist, two steals and a block across 12 minutes off the bench in Monday's 122-113 preseason win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Juzang was one of the Jazz's best players for a second consecutive preseason game, and he seems to be gaining steam toward earning a spot on the regular-season roster despite playing on a two-way deal. Juzang has shot 11-for-14 from the field in two preseason games, and his performance over the subsequent contests could strengthen his grip on a rotation role with the regular season approaching quickly.
Oct 5, 2024
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.
ANALYSIS
The bench players had a significant run in this preseason opener and Juzang certainly made the most of the 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.
Jul 12, 2024
Remaining in Utah
The Jazz signed Juzang to a four-year, $12 million contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang spent the last two seasons with the Jazz on two-way contracts, splitting time between the G League and NBA clubs. In 2023-24, he averaged 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.6 minutes across NBA 20 appearances for the Jazz. With Juzang signing his new contract, it appears that Utah sees him as a long-term piece for the franchise.
Jun 29, 2024
Jazz extends qualifying offer
The Jazz extended a qualifying offer to Juzang on Saturday, making him a restricted free agent, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang's role grew with the Jazz towards the end of the 2023-24 campaign, so it's not a surprise to see that they are interested in keeping the score-first guard around. Juzang spent a lot of time in the G League as well, but in his 20 appearances with the Jazz, he produced averages of 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.
Apr 9, 2024
Starting against Denver
Juzang is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Utah Jazz's play-by-play commentator David Locke reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will move to the starting lineup due to the absence of Collin Sexton (illness) and on the heels of a 27-point effort off the bench the last time out. He's made just one start this season, where he posted eight points across 21 minutes in a loss to the Rockets on March 23.
Apr 8, 2024
Explodes for 27 points from bench
Juzang posted 27 points (9-12 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Juzang has only appeared in 16 games for the Jazz this season, but he came out of nowhere with a career-high 27 points during the loss. The UCLA product has been a lethal long-range threat with the Salt Lake City Stars, and he showed the same sharpshooting prowess Sunday with seven three-pointers. Juzang has earned himself additional playing time in the final week after this impressive performance.
Mar 29, 2024
Cleared to play
Juzang (back) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Rockets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will shed his questionable tag and will likely see some rotation minutes Friday. In March, Juzang has averaged 17.2 minutes across nine appearances.
Mar 28, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Juzang (back) is questionable to play Friday against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Juzang missed Wednesday's loss to the Spurs and is now in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. However, even if he's available, he's not expected to impact the rotation significantly.
Mar 27, 2024
Ruled out Wednesday
Juzang will not play in Wednesday's game versus the Spurs due to back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Juzang is a late addition to Utah's injury report. In his absence, Brice Sensabaugh and Talen Horton-Tucker could be in line for a few more depth minutes on the wing.
Mar 23, 2024
Gets starting nod
Juzang will start at small forward in Saturday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang will get the spot-start due to Lauri Markkanen (rest) being sidelined. It marks the 23-year-old's first start of the season, so he could be in line for a healthier workload than usual.
Mar 16, 2024
Career-best scoring night
Juzang recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and three rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-122 victory over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wing shattered his prior career NBA scoring high of 11 with an impressive effort from long distance -- Juzang was just 2-for-14 on three-point attempts this season coming into the game. The absence of Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) has created an opening in the Jazz rotation that Juzang has done his best to fill -- in three of the five games Markkanen has missed so far, Juzang has played at least 20 minutes.
Oct 24, 2023
Available against Sacramento
Juzang (quadriceps) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang is available for Wednesday's season opener after missing the entire preseason with a quadriceps injury. As a two-way player, Juzang will split time between the NBA and G League this season.
Oct 20, 2023
Still sidelined
Juzang (quadriceps) didn't play in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to Utah.
ANALYSIS
Juzang continues to deal with a quadriceps injury he suffered during Summer League action. Given he didn't play at all during the preseason, his status for the regular season seems murky, at best. Even when he's healthy, the second-year wing will presumably spend most of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League.
Oct 15, 2023
Absent Saturday
Juzang didn't play in Tuesday's 138-133 preseason victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Juzang hasn't played since suffering a quadriceps injury during Summer League, although it's unclear if his preseason absence is attributed to that. His next opportunity to play is Thursday versus Sacramento.
Oct 11, 2023
Sits out Tuesday
Juzang didn't play in Tuesday's 103-98 preseason loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS

Doesn't play in preseason win
Juzang didn't play in Sunday's 101-96 preseason win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Juzang dealt with a left quadriceps late in Summer League action, but he wasn't on Utah's injury report ahead of Sunday's preseason opener. While he appears to have moved past the quadriceps issue, he isn't likely to see too much playing time in the NBA early in the 2023-24 season after rejoining the team on a two-way deal during the offseason.

Lands two-way deal with Utah
Juzang (quadriceps) signed a two-way contract with the Jazz on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang missed Utah's final Summer League game due to a left quadriceps contusion, and it's unclear how long the issue will impact him. Despite his recent absence, he had an encouraging Summer League performance, averaging 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 23.4 minutes per game over two appearances. He spent the 2022-23 campaign on a two-way deal with the Jazz and will attempt to build upon his results during the 2023-24 season.

Won't play Sunday
Juzang won't play in Sunday's Summer League game against the Rockets due to a left quadriceps contusion.
ANALYSIS
Juzang has been a focal point for Utah's Summer League squad, averaging 12.5 points across 23.7 minutes per game. If Utah wins, the second-year guard will have a chance to suit up for the championship Monday.

Cleared for Summer League action
Juzang (ankle) will play in Wednesday's Summer League game against Philadelphia, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang has been battling a right ankle sprain during the early portions of the offseason and missed Utah's Summer League opener but will be available for Wednesday's tilt. The second-year guard figures to share backcourt duties with Keyonte George, Ochai Agbaji and Colbey Ross Wednesday, though it's unclear if Juzang will be limited by the injury in any capacity.
Jul 5, 2023
Likely to suit up Wednesday
Juzang (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's Summer League game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Juzang missed Monday's Summer League opener due to a right ankle sprain, but he'll likely be able to suit up for Wednesday's matchup. He made 18 appearances in the NBA last year and averaged 4.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game.

Out to start Summer League
Juzang won't play in Monday's Summer League matchup versus Oklahoma City due to an undisclosed injury, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of the injury remains unclear, but Juzang might miss the first few games of the 2023 Summer League. The undrafted product out of UCLA operated under a two-way contract last year and made 18 NBA appearances, averaging 4.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game.

Plays 16 minutes in blowout
Juzang accumulated seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 16 minutes during Thursday's 114-98 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
After not seeing any playing time in the last two contests, Juzang was back in the rotation during Thursday's blowout loss. Over his first 16 NBA appearances, the undrafted rookie out of UCLA has averaged 4.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per game.
Mar 25, 2023
Scores 10 off bench
Juzang supplied 10 points (3-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Friday's 144-116 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
This game was over in a hurry, so Juzang was able to get extended run in the blowout. He played minutes in the low teens in his previous two games, and he's a candidate to see more run in the final two weeks with the Jazz looking towards the future.
Mar 24, 2023
Good to go Friday
Juzang (hip) is available for Friday's game versus the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Juzang was upgraded from questionable to available Friday with a left hip flexor strain. He is averaging 3.7 points and 1.4 rebounds in 10.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Mar 23, 2023
Questionable against Milwaukee
Juzang is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a left hip flexor strain.
ANALYSIS
Juzang played double-digit minutes in his last two appearances, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up against Milwaukee. If he's available, it's possible he sees a slight uptick in playing time since the Jazz will be without several starters.
Jan 10, 2023
Called up from G League
The Jazz called Juzang up from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars and are making him available for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
With Utah having already ruled out four players for Tuesday's game due to injury or illness, Juzang looks like he'll get the rare chance to dress for the NBA squad. The two-way rookie out of UCLA has yet to make his NBA debut and likely won't be part of head coach Will Hardy's rotation Tuesday.
Dec 20, 2022
Makes return in G League
Juzang (wrist) played 21 minutes for the G League's Salt Lake City Stars in Monday's 109-104 loss to the Capital City Go-Go, finishing with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists.
ANALYSIS
Juzang's 21-minute appearance with Salt Lake City marked the two-way player's first at either the NBA or G League level since Nov. 18, as the rookie had been sidelined for a month with a Grade 3 sprain of his right wrist. The 6-foot-6 wing isn't expected to be part of the NBA rotation at any point this season and should continue to receive most of his opportunities in the G League.
Dec 8, 2022
Not available Friday
Juzang (wrist) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Juzang, one of the Jazz's two-way players, has yet to make his NBA debut. He's been out of action at the G League level for the past three weeks due to a right wrist sprain and is without a clear timeline to resume playing.
Nov 22, 2022
Dealing with wrist injury
Juzang was diagnosed Tuesday with a Grade 3 sprain (full thickness tear) in his right wrist and will be re-evaluated in 10-to-14 days, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Juzang, one of the Jazz's two two-way players, has yet to make his NBA debut, so he presumably suffered the injury during his most recent appearance for the G League's Salt Lake City Stars last Friday. In five outings for the Stars this season, the 6-foot-6 wing is shooting 36.8 percent from the field and is averaging 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 three-pointers in 29.3 minutes per game.
Oct 27, 2022
Moves to G League Salt Lake City
Juzang has joined G League Salt Lake City.
ANALYSIS
Juzang signed with the Jazz on a two-way deal this offseason, so this seemed a likely move at some point. Juzang should claim a regular role with the G League squad and will likely float between the two levels in 2022-23.
