ANALYSIS
Tshiebwe will be on a two-way deal with Utah for the second straight season. He played in 14 regular-season games with the squad during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 7.6 points and 8.7 rebounds across 18.2 minutes per game, shooting 60 percent from the field.

Excels off the bench in finale
Tshiebwe closed Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Timberwolves with 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Tshiebwe finished the season with the parent club after spending most of the season with the Salt Lake City Stars. Tshiebwe was one of the best players in the developmental league this season with 37 double-doubles. He joins Micah Potter as a promising frontcourt addition waiting to make a bigger impact next season.

Returning to bench Monday
Tshiebwe is not in Utah's starting lineup against Charlotte on Monday, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Tshiebwe made his first NBA start Friday against the Nuggets and finished with seven points, 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes in a 129-93 loss. He'll come off the bench Monday while Kyle Filipowski starts at center.

Double-digit boards in first start
Tshiebwe accumulated seven points (2-5 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Making his first career NBA start, Tshiebwe pulled down double-digit boards for the fourth time in six March appearances. The second-year center has bounced between the Jazz and the G League Salt Lake City Stars all month, but he's been useful for Utah when given the opportunity, averaging 6.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in 17.8 minutes during those six contests while shooting 55.2 percent from the floor.

Getting first NBA start Friday
Tshiebwe is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Nuggets on Friday.
ANALYSIS
With both Walker Kessler (illness) and Lauri Markkanen (rest) out, Tshiebwe will make the first start of his NBA career Friday. Tshiebwe has appeared in two of Utah's last five games but has spent most of the season in the G League with the Salt Lake City Stars, where he has averaged 17.1 points on 59.4 percent shooting, 19.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over 32.4 minutes per game.

Rejoins parent club
The Jazz recalled Tshiebwe from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Tuesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
After registering 22 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in Sunday's 110-108 G league loss to the Austin Spurs, Tshiebwe will provide the Jazz with frontcourt depth for Tuesday's game against Memphis in the absences of Lauri Markkanen (illness) and John Collins (ankle). Tshiebwe has averaged 5.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 14.8 minutes over eight games with Utah this season.
Mar 20, 2025
Listed out for Friday
Tshiebwe is out for Friday's game against the Celtics due to an undisclosed injury, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Tshiebwe pulled down 10 rebounds and added four points over 18 minutes during Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards, but he evidently picked up an injury at some point along the way. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Sunday against the Cavs.
Mar 9, 2025
Late scratch Sunday
Tshiebwe (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Tshiebwe was a late scratch Sunday due to the illness, and his next chance to play will come Monday against Boston. The big man has dominated in the G League, which has earned him playing time with the parent club recently. Over three outings with the Jazz in March, Tshiebwe has averaged 7.7 points and 9.7 rebounds across 15.0 minutes per contest.
Mar 3, 2025
Cracks rotation, posts double-double
Tshiebwe totaled 16 points (8-9 FG), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 128-121 loss to New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
With the Jazz holding out John Collins (back), Walker Kessler (rest) and Lauri Markkanen (back) on Sunday, the Jazz had room in the rotation for Tshiebwe. Making just his fifth appearance at the NBA level all season, Tshiebwe responded by recording career highs in both points and rebounds. The two-way player could be in store for some more opportunities down the stretch for the Jazz if the organization elects to shut Kessler, Collins and Markkanen down for good at some point in late March or early April.
Feb 5, 2025
Recalled from G League
The Jazz are recalling Tshiebwe from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
With Lauri Markkanen out with a back injury, Utah has called up Tshiebwe for some frontcourt depth ahead of Wednesday's game against the Warriors. The 25-year-old big man has played 15.3 minutes per game over three appearances with the Jazz this season, so it's possible he plays a role off the bench against Golden State.
Aug 12, 2024
Inks two-way pact with Utah
The Jazz signed Tshiebwe to a two-way deal Monday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
After waiving Taevion Kinsey on Monday, the Jazz utilized their last two-way spot to sign Tshiebwe. The 24-year-old spent the 2023-24 campaign on a two-way deal with the Pacers, and he averaged 16.2 points, 16.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks across 27.2 minutes in 23 regular-season games with the club's G League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.
Feb 14, 2024
Available for Wednesday
Tshiebwe will be available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Tshiebwe has been recalled from the G League and will be available for Wednesday's game. However, that doesn't mean he'll step foot on the court.
Jan 28, 2024
Available for Pacers Sunday
Tshiebwe is available for Indiana's game against Memphis on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Tshiebwe profiles as emergency depth for the Pacers. However, his activation on the roster is relevant given that Myles Turner (back) is inactive.
Dec 14, 2023
Makes NBA debut Wednesday
Tshiebwe finished Wednesday's 140-126 loss to the Bucks with one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across six minutes.
ANALYSIS
Tshiebwe played six minutes Wednesday, making his professional debut. There is nothing to see here from a fantasy perspective, quite clearly. It's great to see some new blood in the league but he would need a numbers players ahead of him in the rotation to miss time to have any chance at playing a meaningful role in the rotation.
Nov 29, 2023
Will be called up
Tshiebwe will be called up from the Mad Ants to join the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Starreports.
ANALYSIS
Jalen Smith suffered a knee bruise Monday and will miss some time for the Pacers. Isaiah Jackson figures to pick up the bulk of Smith's minutes, but Tshiebwe could be an emergency depth option in the frontcourt. Tshiebwe has certainly earned a look from the Pacers, as he's been dominant in the G League.
