Filipowski notched 21 points (10-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 131-101 loss to the Thunder.

Making just his second start since the beginning of November, Filpowski recorded his first double-double of the season while setting new season highs in points and steals. Lauri Markkanen (illness) isn't likely to be sidelined for long, but Filpowski has been making an impact over the the last few weeks regardless of his role, averaging 12.3 points, 7.4 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.1 threes and 0.9 steals over the last nine games in 26.7 minutes a contest.

Filipowski will start Sunday's game against the Thunder, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Filipowski will enter the starting five due to Lauri Markkanen (illness) being ruled out. This will be Filipowski's second start over the last three games. In his previous start, he logged 15 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals acorss 31 minutes.

Filipowski won't start against the Knicks on Friday.

With Jusuf Nurkic back in action following a one-game absence due to a right rib contusion, Filipowski will slide to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the second-year big man has averaged 9.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 23.4 minutes per contest.

Filipowski is starting Thursday's game against the Nets.

Filipowski has been playing well off the bench lately, averaging 10.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in his last six appearances. He'll draw the start Thursday with Jusuf Nurkic (ribs) and Kevin Love (rest) sidelined.

Filipowski provided 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 129-101 loss to the Rockets.

Filipowski is the first man off the bench most nights and is one of Utah's most consistent contributors. Ever since being relegated to the bench Nov. 2, Filipowski is averaging 9.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.7 blocks across 21.2 minutes.

Filipowski closed with 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 144-112 loss to the Thunder.

Filpowski was able to play through the wrist injury that held him out of Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, and he provided dependable interior support for Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic in the loss. Most of Filipowski's production came during garbage time in the fourth quarter, where he accrued seven points, a rebound and an assist. Kevin Love was on fire during the first quarter with the second unit, which is one reason why it took a little while for Filipowski to get his opportunities.

Filipowski (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski will shake off a questionable tag to return from a one-game absence. In his last five appearances for the Jazz, Filipowski averaged 9.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 three-pointers in 21.4 minutes per contest.

Filipowski (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Filipowski (wrist) won't play Tuesday against the Lakers.

Filipowski will miss his first game of the season Tuesday, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder. Brice Sensabaugh, Kevin Love and Cody Williams are candidates for increased minutes with Filipowski on the inactive list.

Filipowski is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers due to a sprained right wrist, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

We'll have a better idea on Filipowski's status for Tuesday's game based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, that would open up some minutes for Brice Sensabaugh. Check back closer to Tuesday's tip for official word on Filipowski's status.

Filipowski had seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Monday's 120-113 loss to the Timberwolves.

Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) missed the front end of the back-to-back set, but he remains day-to-day. Filipowski wasn't able to take advantage of the opportunity, and he's still looking to find the form he had as a rookie. Through the opening 10 games, Filipowski is shooting 36.9 percent from the field for 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 19.9 minutes per contest.

Filipowski racked up four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 loss to the Hornets.

Taylor Hendricks replaced Filipowski in the first unit and responded with a strong 14-point outing in 25 minutes. Filipowski is shooting 36.8 percent from the field to open the campaign, so it's not a surprise to see the Jazz go in a different direction, at least in the short term.

Filipowski contributed nine points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one block across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 129-108 win over the Clippers.

With Ace Bailey (knee/illness) not at 100 percent, plus Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Georges Niang (foot) sidelined, Filipowski drew a start on Opening Night. Filipowski was surrounded by Keyonte George, Svi Mykhailiuk, Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler. While Filipowski struggled from deep, he played 25 minutes and appears to be a key part of the early-season rotation after a strong finish to the 2024-25 campaign.

Filipowski is in the starting lineup for Thursday's exhibition against Portland.

Filipowski will be joined in the first unit by Svi Mykhailiuk, Keyonte George, Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler. While Filipowski will draw a start in Thursday's exhibition, he's expected to come off the bench in Utah this season, so he's not a great target in standard formats.

Filipowski (back) will play during Monday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski will make his preseason debut after missing time with a back injury. The Duke product averaged 14.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 29.6 minutes during Utah's final 11 regular-season games last year, but he's looking at a limited role come Opening Night, especially if Utah is close to full strength.

Filipowski (back) was a full participant at Sunday's practice, according to KSL Sports.

Filipowski has been sidelined since the end of September with a nagging back issue, but it sounds like he's closing in on a return. The second-year forward could make his preseason debut Monday against Dallas.

Filipowski (back) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski missed Wednesday's preseason opener due to lower back injury management, and the team isn't overly eager to get him on the court just yet. His next opportunity for preseason action will arrive Monday against Dallas.

Filipowski (back) won't play in Wednesday's preseason opener against the Rockets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

The Jazz will hold out Filipowski due to lower back injury management, which doesn't sound like a significant ailment. His next opportunity to suit up arrives Friday against the Spurs. Taylor Hendricks, Cody Williams and Brice Sensabaugh will all be candidates to take on an expanded role in the frontcourt Wednesday.

Filipowski (back) didn't participate in Monday's scrimmage, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

The severity of the back issue is unclear, though Filipowski has been limited in training camp thus far. Additionally, he was unable to go through warmups Monday, which bodes poorly for his status ahead of Wednesday's preseason opener against the Rockets. The second-year big man appeared in 72 regular-season games (27 starts) in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds across 21.1 minutes per game.

Filipowski (back) was unable to participate in Tuesday's practice.

Filipowski was shut down for the end of the Las Vegas Summer League for maintenance purposes back in July, and the severity of his current injury isn't clear. The Jazz don't open their preseason until next Wednesday, so the 2024 second-rounder has some time to return to practice. If Filipowski is limited at all to begin the upcoming campaign, Taylor Hendricks, Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk will have more opportunities as reserves.

Filipowski has been shut down for the remainder of the Las Vegas Summer League due to rest purposes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Wednesday.

Filipowski dominated during the Las Vegas Summer League, including a 35-point, 11-rebound double-double during an overtime loss to the Spurs on Monday. The 2024 second-round pick had a solid rookie season, averaging 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds on 50.2 percent shooting in 21.1 minutes across 72 regular-season games (27 starts). Filipowski could see a larger role in Year 2 after the departure of John Collins, but Utah also added Jusuf Nurkic and Kevin Love to their frontcourt depth this offseason.

Filipowski tallied 35 points (11-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes in Monday's 93-91 Summer League overtime loss to the Spurs.

Filipowski dominated on the court Monday, pouring in 35 points and recording a double-double in a tough buzzer-beater loss. He's putting together an impressive Summer League showing after a solid rookie campaign in 2024-25, when he appeared in 72 regular-season games (27 starts) and averaged 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds on 50.2 percent shooting in 21.1 minutes per contest.

Filipowski logged 21 points (9-21 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and a block in 24 minutes during Sunday's 103-93 Summer League loss to the Warriors.

Filipowski has been dominant to kick off Summer League in Las Vegas, recording 32 points (12-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, five assists and a block in his first outing and following that up with a 21-6-1-1 line Sunday. Filipowski had a solid rookie season, averaging 9.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 21.1 minutes per game, and he will look to take a step forward in his second year with the team searching for an identity after a busy offseason.

Filipowski racked up 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 86-82 Summer League win over the Thunder.

Filipowski stuffed the stat sheet, recording his second consecutive double-double in Summer League play. He recorded a game-high mark in rebounds and finished as Utah's second-leading scorer behind Walter Clayton. Filipowski has averaged 17.0 points and 11.3 rebounds across 26.7 minutes per game through three Summer League appearances.

Filipowski recorded 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block across 30 minutes in Monday's 112-111 Summer League win over the Grizzlies.

Filipowski provided 15 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 29 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Timberwolves.

The rookie second-rounder received plenty of starting opportunities throughout 2024-25, especially after the rebuilding Jazz gradually began to shut down some of their key players down. Filipowski averaged 16.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 30.1 minutes across his last 18 games as a starter during the regular season. Even on a healthier Utah team, Filipowski may have flashed enough upside during this period to carve out a stable role in the second unit for next year.

Filipowski chipped in 15 points (7-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 145-111 loss to the Thunder.

It was the 13th double-double of the season for the rookie big man. Filipowski has started 10 straight games for the lottery-bound Jazz, averaging 14.8 points, 10.8 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.7 minutes a contest as he looks to lock down a significant role in the team's 2025-26 frontcourt.

Filipowski amassed 30 points (13-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 133-126 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.

Filipowski has shown massive progress during the second half of the season, but there's no question Wednesday was the best game of his career by a wide margin. The former Duke standout established career-high marks in points and rebounds, but he also matched his previous season-best outputs in steals and blocks. Filipowski has started in Utah's last nine games and has posted solid results, averaging 14.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks per game in that stretch.

Filipowski ended Wednesday's 143-105 loss to the Rockets with six points (3-14 FG, 0-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 31 minutes.

Making his sixth straight start, the rookie center recorded multiple blocks and steals for the second time during that stretch, although he failed to score in double digits for the first time. Filipowski is averaging 14.2 points, 9.8 boards, 1.7 threes, 1.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks during that stretch.

Filipowski closed with 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 13 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 110-106 loss to the Hornets.

Filipowski recorded his second straight double-double, continuing what has been a productive late-season stretch. With John Collins and Lauri Markkanen missing a sizeable chunk of the past month, Filipowski has been thrust into a consistent role. In seven games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 14.9 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.1 three-pointers in 27.2 minutes per game.

Filipowski posted 18 points (7-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets.

Making his fourth straight start and ninth in 16 appearances in March, Filipowski recorded his 10th double-double of the season while holding his own in a matchup with Nikola Jokic. Filipowski is averaging 15.2 points, 7.5 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.9 threes and 0.9 steals on the month while shooting 53.0 percent from the floor in 25.1 minutes a contest, and with the Jazz seemingly in no rush to get Lauri Markkanen (conditioning) and Walker Kessler (illness) back onto the court, the rookie center could continue to see an elevated workload.

Filipowski amassed 16 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Rockets.

The Jazz have two players up for Rookie of the Year consideration, but Filipowski's numbers probably won't be enough to unseat standouts like Stephon Castle or Zaccharie Risacher. Nevertheless, the Duke product has excelled under pressure amid Utah's several injury troubles throughout the season. He's having a very productive month, averaging 15.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 15 games in March.

Filipowski logged 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Although Filipowski has been effective amid John Collins' (ankle) absence, he turned in a tepid line during a hapless performance by the team. The rookie is a critical part of Utah's future plans, so he'll get every opportunity to produce as the team languishes through the rest of the schedule.

Filipowski provided 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 13 rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

Filipowski got the starting nod Sunday and led the way for Utah by tallying a team-high scoring total to go along with a team-high-tying rebound mark in a double-double. Filipowski recorded his second-highest rebound total of the season, tallying a double-double in nine outings.

Filipowski will start in Sunday's game against Cleveland.

The rookie second-round pick will supplant Svi Mykhailiuk in the starting five on Sunday. Filipowski has made five starts in March, during which he has averaged 19.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.4 minutes per contest.

Filipowski is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Filipowski has fared well in a starting role of late, but he's also been productive off the bench, so his fantasy upside shouldn't change too much with his move to the second unit. Filipowski is averaging 15.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in 11 outings (five starts) this month.

Filipowski recorded 21 points (8-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 win over Washington.

Filipowski bounced Micah Potter from the starting lineup Wednesday, registering a team-high scoring output. The 16-54 Jazz gave their first and second unit relatively even workloads in this one, so the rookie big man's role remains unclear at this stage of the club's lost season. Over his last six games as a starter, Filipowski has averaged 19.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 and 3.0 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes.

Filipowski finished Friday's 126-118 loss to the Raptors with 18 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes.

The double-double was his eighth of the season, six of which have come in the last 14 games. Filipowski is averaging 15.4 points, 7.7 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.1 threes and 0.8 steals in 24.6 minutes a contest over that span while shooting 54.2 percent from the floor and 48.3 percent from beyond the arc. Walker Kessler is getting frequent rests while the Jazz try to secure the NBA's worst record and hasn't played more than three games in a row since early February, so Filipowski's workload could continue to rise over the final weeks of the campaign.

Filipowski is in Utah's starting lineup against Toronto on Friday.

Filipowski posted 25 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to Philadelphia.

Getting another start in place of Walker Kessler (rest), Filipowski tied his season high in scoring while scoring more than 20 points for the third time in the last four games. The rookie center has taken on a significant role in the Utah frontcourt whether in the starting five or coming off the bench -- he's drained at least one three-pointer in eight straight contests (four starts), averaging 17.8 points, 8.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.6 threes and 0.9 steals in 26.4 minutes a game over that stretch while shooting 54.3 percent from the floor and a dazzling 52.5 percent from beyond the arc.

The Jazz will tweak their starting unit for this contest and Filipowski will return to his bench role, as Walker Kessler will be back in the first unit.

Despite returning to the bench for Monday's game with Walker Kessler back in the lineup, Filipowski took advantage of some garbage time and set a new career-high scoring mark -- he scored 12 of his points in the fourth quarter.With the Jazz sitting veterans left and right for various injuries and maintenance, Filipowski could be poised for a big finish to the season as the youth movement takes over in Utah.

Filipowski will come off the bench Monday night against the Pistons.

Filipowski flirted with a triple-double in a spot start Sunday against the Pelicans, but he'll return to a bench role following the return of Walker Kessler (rest). Filipowski is averaging 12.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists in his last five appearances, three off the bench.

Filipowski won't start Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Filipowski set a new career-high mark in points (20), picking up his fourth double-double of the season in the process. With the Jazz likely to focus on player development down the stretch, Filipowski could emerge with some fantasy appeal, especially whenever the Jazz are missing key members of their frontcourt.

Filipowski is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Monday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski will make his 11th start of the season Monday -- and third since the beginning of February -- due to the absence of Walker Kessler (illness).

Although the Jazz were missing several of their key players for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Filipowski remained in a bench role while Micah Potter and Drew Eubanks started in the frontcourt.

Even though he's not expected to crack the starting unit any time soon, the former Duke standout could be worth a look as a streaming option in deep formats if he's able to keep this up for the upcoming stretch of games.

Filipowski (ankle) will play Sunday against the Nets.

Filipowski will be able to play through an ankle sprain he presumably suffered during Saturday's loss to the Spurs. With Lauri Markkanen (back) out of the lineup, Filipowski could be called upon more often offensively.

Filipowski (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Filipowski is in jeopardy of missing his first game since Dec. 21 due to a right ankle sprain that he presumably sustained during Saturday's loss to the Suns. The rookie has seen increased run of late, and he has averaged 5.4 points and 6.2 rebounds across 22.8 minutes per contest in his last five appearances. With Filipowski and Lauri Markkanen (back) at risk of joining John Collins (hip) on the sideline, Micah Potter and Cody Williams are candidates for increased roles.

Filipowski amassed four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Thursday's 97-92 loss to Miami.

Filipowski played at least 20 minutes for the third time over his last four appearances. While he struggled to make his mark offensively again, Filipowski grabbed double-digit rebounds for the first time this season. As long as John Collins (hip) and Brice Sensabaugh (illness) continue to miss games, Filipowski has a clear path to consistent minutes.

Filipowski contributed two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 119-103 loss to the Knicks.

Filipowski played fewer than 15 minutes for the fourth time in the past five games, during which time he scored a total of just 11 points. It has been rough sledding for the rookie, especially after he was thrust into a sizeable role earlier in the season. Although there is a realistic chance he once again logs meaningful minutes as the season moves forward, it's safe to say that time is still a ways away.

The Jazz recalled Filipowski from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars ahead of Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

With John Collins (hip) questionable for Monday's contest, Filipowski will suit up and will likely be part of the rotation after a recent stint in the G League. During his latest appearance for the Stars in Sunday's 122-120 win over the Memphis Hustle, Filipowski recorded 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 18 minutes.

Filipowski finished with eight points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 G League loss to the San Diego Clippers. After the game, he was recalled from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Friday.

Filipowski briefly returned to the G League for Thursday's matchup, though he had a negative impact during his limited run. The rookie will join the Jazz ahead of their matchup against the Suns on Friday, and he'll attempt to increase his workload during his second consecutive matchup following a seven-game absence due to a lower leg injury.

Utah recalled Filipowski from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday.

Filipowski logged 15 minutes in Tuesday's 106-104 loss to the San Diego Clippers, finishing with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists. He'll be a candidate to see more minutes with Utah if the franchise unloads some veterans at the trade deadline.

Filipowski (lower leg) has been cleared to play Sunday against the Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski is in line for his first NBA action since Nov. 21 after missing time with a left lower leg injury. He's expected to come off the bench and will compete for minutes going forward with John Collins as the rookie aims to earn his spot in the rotation back.

Filipowski (lower leg) is now listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Kings, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

This is positive news for Filipowski, who was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to a lower leg injury. Expect final word from the club closer to tipoff.

Filipowski (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Filipowski has missed the Jazz's last seven games due to a left lower leg injury, though he did play for the G League Salt Lake City Stars on Friday against the South Bay Lakers, finishing with 10 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 24 minutes. That should mean he is trending towards making his return Sunday, but he might be on a minutes restriction if he does play. In his 11 games with Utah prior to his injury (including eight starts), Filipowski averaged 8.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 21.1 minutes per game.

The Jazz recalled Filipowski from the G League Salt Lake City Stars on Saturday.

Filipowski played in Friday's G League game against the South Bay Lakers and finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 24 minutes. He had missed six of the Jazz's prior six games due to a lower left leg injury, but his short stint in the G League allowed him to get his feet back under himself, and he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Kings. Filipowski was in the Jazz's starting lineup for the five games prior to his injury, and over that span he averaged 8.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals over 25.0 minutes per contest.

Filipowski (lower leg) was assigned to Utah's G League affiliate Thursday.

Filipowski is set to miss his seventh consecutive matchup due to left leg inflammation during the Jazz's game against Portland on Friday. The rookie will join the G League's Salt Lake City Stars as a part of his rehabilitation process, and his next chance to suit up for the parent club will come Sunday against the Kings.

Filipowski (lower leg) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Portland, KSL Sports reports.

Filipowski is still on the mend from a left leg injury and hasn't taken the court since Nov. 21. His next chance to return will arrive Sunday in Sacramento.

Filipowski (lower leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski (lower leg) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Filipowski will miss a fifth straight game due to a left leg injury, including both halves of Utah's current back-to-back set. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Oklahoma City.

Filipowski (leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski will miss a fourth straight game due to a left leg injury, and his next chance to play will be against the Lakers on Sunday. The Jazz will be getting reinforcements in Lauri Markkanen (personal) and John Collins (knee) for Saturday's contest.

Filipowski (leg) will not play Wednesday against the Nuggets.

As expected, Filipowski will miss his third game in a row for the Jazz. Lauri Markkanen (personal) has also been ruled out, while John Collins (knee) is questionable. Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks could see an uptick in minutes as a result.

Filipowski (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Filipowski will miss his second straight game due to a right ankle sprain he suffered against San Antonio this past Thursday. His next opportunity to play will be the Jazz's second leg of a back-to-back set against the Nuggets on Wednesday. Drew Eubanks and Brice Sensabaugh are likely to see an uptick in playing time due to Filipowski's injury.

Filipowski (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Knicks.

Filipowski sprained his right ankle in Thursday's loss to the Spurs and won't play for the first time since the regular-season opener. With the rookie sidelined, Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks are candidates for an uptick in playing time. Filipowski's next chance to feature will come Tuesday against the Spurs.

Filipowski has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Spurs due to a right ankle sprain, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports. He had four points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes before exiting.

Filipowski went to the locker room during the third quarter and was later ruled out for the final 12 minutes of play. Expect Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks to pick up additional minutes down the stretch in Filipowski's absence.

Filipowski notched 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and a steal across 30 minutes in Thursday's 115-113 win over the Mavericks.

Filipowski earned a start for this game after notching a career-high 18-point effort off the bench in a loss to the Suns on Tuesday, and he carried the momentum into this contest. This was his highest-scoring start of the season, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him remain in a starting role when the Jazz take on the Kings on Saturday due to the lack of depth Utah currently has in its frontcourt. Taylor Hendricks (leg) is out, while the status of both Lauri Markkanen (nose) and Walker Kessler (hip) is uncertain in a best-case scenario.

Filipowski is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Filipowski enters the lineup after scoring a career-high 18 points in the loss to the Suns on Tuesday. This will be the rookie's fourth start of the campaign, and he's averaging 7.0 points with 5.3 rebounds per game in his previous three.

Filipowski produced 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to Phoenix.

Filipowski poured in a career-high 18 points, logging at least 23 minutes for the second straight game. It's been an up-and-down season for the rookie, his role seemingly changing on a nightly basis. Given what we have seen thus far from the Jazz, there is certainly a world in which they are eliminated from the postseason discussion sooner rather than earlier. Should this be the case, Filipowski's minutes could increase on a more consistent basis.

Filipowski played four minutes in Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks, scoring zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and recording no other statistics during his time on the court.

Filipowski had started each of the last three games while averaging 7.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.3 minutes, but he fell out of the Utah rotation Thursday while Lauri Markkanen (back) made his return to the lineup. The rookie second-round pick didn't check into the game until 4:13 remained in the fourth quarter, when the game was effectively over while the Bucks sat on a 20-point lead. Jazz head coach Will Hardy went with John Collins and Drew Eubanks as the primary backups in the frontcourt behind starters Markkanen and Walker Kessler, so it may take another injury to one of the quartet before Filipowski slots back into the rotation.

Filipowski will come off the bench Thursday night against the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Filipowski made three straight starts while Lauri Markkanen recovered from a back issue, but the rookie will return to a reserve role following Markkanen's return. Filipowski struggled to see much run in his first two appearances off the bench but logged 25 minutes as a reserve Oct. 29 against the Kings, so there's really no blueprint to help identify how many minutes he'll shoulder Thursday evening.

Filipowski totaled 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Thursday's 106-88 loss to the Spurs.

With Lauri Markkanen (back) temporarily sidelined, Filipowski drew the first start of his NBA career. Increased opportunity was already on the horizon after Taylor Hendricks (ankle) was lost for the season, although the current solution to that problem has been a front three featuring Cody Williams. Filipowski's preseason outlook was bleak considering his position in the depth chart, but the shakeup will improve his chances to contribute.

Filipowski will start at power forward Thursday night against the Spurs, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Filipowski is set to make his first NBA start after news broke that Lauri Markkanen (back) wouldn't suit up Thursday. The rookie center looked sharp in his last appearance Tuesday against the Kings, tallying 12 points, eight boards, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes.

Filipowski recorded 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.

With Taylor Hendricks (leg) likely done for the season and Lauri Markkanen () leaving Tuesday's contest early, Filipowski made the most of his expanded role. He totaled just nine minutes in the previous three contests, so it's unclear what the rookie's role will be moving forward, especially if Markkanen isn't sidelined long-term. However, if Markkanen is sidelined, Filipowski should have a clear path to consistent minutes.

Filipowski agreed to a four-year, $12 million contract with the Jazz on Monday, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.

This is a generous deal for Filipowski, who took a risk by playing in Summer League without putting pen to paper on a contract after he was selected in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. Marks notes that this is the largest contract for a player selected in the second round of the draft in the last two years. With contract negotiations now in the rearview mirror, the big man can set his sights on earning a spot in Utah's rotation, which could prove challenging behind Taylor Hendricks (personal), Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) and John Collins (back).

Filipowski recorded 26 points (8-22 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's Summer League finale against the Pistons.

Filipowski impressed in Utah's final game at Summer League, posting game-highs in points and rebounds. After a productive showing in the Summer League, Filipowski turns his sights to the regular season. The Duke product will likely have to earn his playing time to begin the season, but he could carve out a role alongside Lauri Markkanen and Taylor Hendricks as the season progresses.

Filipowski submitted 20 points (9-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three steals and a block during 26 minutes of Wednesday's 86-76 win over the Raptors in Summer League.

Filipowski has been a standout performer for the Jazz in Las Vegas, averaging 14.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 combined steals-plus-blocks in three games played. The seven-footer has also knocked down three of his six attempts from distance. While Filipowski is better fit to play the five, he could see most of his action in 2024-25 come at the power forward spot considering the Jazz's center depth.

Filipowski was drafted by the Jazz with the No. 32 overall pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Filipowski spent two years at Duke before entering the NBA Draft. As a sophomore in 2023-24, he averaged 16.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals in 36 games. At 7-foot, Filipowski also has the ability to stretch the floor, as he converted 34.8 percent of his 3.1 three-point attempts per contest last year. While the 20-year-old big man will have to earn his playing time early on, a future frontcourt with Lauri Markkanen, Taylor Hendricks and Filipowski could offer a stout interior defense while also maintaining ideal spacing on the offensive end.
