Keep up with the latest injuries from the L.A. Lakers vs Jazz game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 8, 2025
Back to G League
Utah assigned Hendricks to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks made a strong impression during Sunday's loss to the Thunder, finishing with 20 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes off the bench. However, the Jazz are off until Friday, so Hendricks will join Walter Clayton and Cody Williams for what is likely to be a short stint in Salt Lake City.
Dec 8, 2025
Drops 20 off bench Sunday
Hendricks closed with 20 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 131-101 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
The third-year forward established a new season scoring high while tying his career high in made three-pointers, as he played 20-plus minutes for only the second time in 2025-26. Hendricks has had trouble staying healthy ever since being the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but the Jazz still have incentive to see if he can carve out a consistent role in the rotation.
Dec 4, 2025
Recalled to NBA
Utah recalled Hendricks from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
With Kevin Love resting and Jusuf Nurkic (ribs) questionable, Hendricks could have a chance to work his way back into Utah's rotation Thursday against the Nets.
Dec 3, 2025
Sent to G League
The Jazz transferred Hendricks to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The move offers Hendricks an opportunity to handle a much larger role than he has in Utah. He's averaged just 14.3 minutes per game over 11 contests for the Jazz.
Nov 22, 2025
Assigned to G League
The Jazz assigned Hendricks to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks played eight minutes off the bench during the Jazz's 144-112 loss to the Thunder on Friday, finishing with one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal. He'll head to the G League for the first time this season and will be available for the City Stars' clash against the Stockton Kings on Saturday.
Nov 18, 2025
Good to go Tuesday
Hendricks (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks will shed his questionable tag due to a right hamstring strain and return from a four-game absence. Over his last five outings (three starts), the forward has averaged 4.0 points and 3.8 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per contest.
Nov 17, 2025
Game-time decision Tuesday
Hendricks (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks has remained sidelined for Utah's last four matchups while nursing a strained right hamstring. He'll presumably be evaluated further during morning shootaround before a decision on his status for Tuesday is decided.
Nov 15, 2025
Ruled out for Sunday
Hendricks (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks will miss his fourth straight game due to what the team is now calling a strained right hamstring. With the 21-year-old forward sidelined, Cody Williams and Brice Sensabaugh are candidates for a bump in minutes. Hendricks' next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Lakers.
Nov 12, 2025
Still sidelined
Hendricks (hamstring) won't play in Thursday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks won't play for a third consecutive contest due to right hamstring soreness. His absence could mean more opportunities for Cody Williams and Kevin Love. Hendricks' next chance to play will come Sunday against Chicago.
Nov 11, 2025
Out again Tuesday
Hendricks (hamstring) Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City Tuesday against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks will miss his second straight game Tuesday after also sitting out Monday against Minnesota. His injury is described as soreness, so presumably, he's day-to-day. Kyle Filipowski will likely see increased run Tuesday, but he's been struggling to find his rhythm.
Nov 10, 2025
Ruled out for Monday
Hendricks (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks is dealing with a sore right hamstring, and with the Jazz playing the first game of a back-to-back set, the medical staff will err on the side of caution and hold him out of this one. Hendricks' minutes will likely be divvied up amongst Kevin Love and Brice Sensabaugh.
Nov 10, 2025
Iffy for Monday
Hendricks (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks was a late addition to the injury report. The injury is being described as soreness as opposed to a strain, suggesting that he's day-to-day. Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so a maintenance day could be on the table here.
Nov 7, 2025
Bench role Friday
Hendricks will come off the bench during Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
After starting the last three games, Hendricks will be in the second unit with Isaiah Collier getting the nod in the starting lineup. Hendricks is currently averaging 4.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, shooting 38.2 percent from the floor and 28.6 percent from beyond the arc.
Nov 3, 2025
Bottoms out in victory
Hendricks contributed two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Monday's 105-103 win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Coming off arguably his best performance of the season, Hendricks remained in the starting lineup but was unable to repeat his heroics from the previous game. It's been a disappointing season thus far for Hendricks, averaging just 5.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in 16.1 minutes per game.
Nov 3, 2025
Shines in start
Hendricks recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks replaced Kyle Filipowski in the starting lineup Sunday and put together his best game of the campaign with multiple season-high marks. The Jazz are in need of a spark with three straight losses, and Hendricks made a strong case Sunday to remain heavily involved in the rotation. He's trending up as a potential waiver-wire add.
Oct 30, 2025
Team option exercised
The Jazz exercised Hendricks' fourth-year team option Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks is now set to stay with the Jazz for the 2026-27 campaign. The forward is a significant part of the team's future, though he's not yet eclipsed 19 minutes over his first four games this year.
Oct 28, 2025
Goes scoreless in victory
Hendricks chipped in zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 138-134 overtime victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks was a no-show in the win, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to the season. He has now scored a total of just 15 points across three games, adding three combined steals and blocks. Seen as a viable late-round flyer in many leagues, Hendricks has been largely disappointing. Managers are well within their rights to part ways with him, given the apparent lack of playing time.
Oct 23, 2025
Plays well off bench
Hendricks amassed 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 129-108 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks came off the bench Wednesday after showing some positive moments with the starting group during the preseason. Hendricks offers some serious upside on the defensive end and is an improving three-point shooter, and that gives him a high ceiling in category leagues. With this being a rebuilding season in Utah, it's easy to imagine Hendricks' role growing as the season progresses.
Oct 16, 2025
Shifting to bench
Hendricks isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks isn't listed in the starting five for the first time this preseason, as the team has evidently seen all they needed to see out of the UCF product with the first unit. He tallied 14 points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal in Monday's exhibition against the Mavs.
Oct 14, 2025
Impressive preseason continues
Hendricks delivered 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 114-101 preseason loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
The third-year forward has started all three of Utah's games this preseason, scoring at least 14 points in each while going 5-for-16 from beyond the arc and chipping in 14 boards, seven assists and three steals. The Jazz went with plenty of length in the starting five Monday, as Hendricks, rookie Ace Bailey (knee) and Lauri Markkanen lined up between point guard Keyonte George and center Jusuf Nurkic, but whether that's the look coach Will Hardy uses Opening Night against the Clippers on Oct. 22 could depend on Bailey's health.
Oct 11, 2025
Another strong showing
Hendricks finished with 15 points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes of Friday's 134-130 preseason loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks made his second straight start after putting 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3PT, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 27 minutes of Wednesday's preseason opener. The Jazz haven't had their full lineup yet with guys like Walker Kessler, Kyle Fillipowski and Lauri Markkanen out with various injuries and maintenance, but Hendricks is showing some serious promise so far. The No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft is gaining some steam in the eyes of prospective fantasy managers in a frontcourt rotation that could be wide open.
Oct 9, 2025
Fares well as starter
Hendricks produced 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3PT, 1-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 27 minutes of Wednesday's 140-127 preseason loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks was limited to three regular-season appearances last year before suffering a broken leg and dislocated ankle. He had a clean bill of health heading into training camp, however, and he looks ready to hit the ground running. He started Wednesday's game and had no restrictions, and he was able to showcase his two-way versatility. The No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft is likely to catch the eyes of some prospective fantasy managers after this performance.
Sep 29, 2025
Healthy for training camp
Hendricks (lower leg) is healthy and a full go for training camp, KSL Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks' rehab went as planned, and he should be ready to rejoin Utah's rotation for his third season. Hendricks was limited to three appearances last year before suffering a broken leg and dislocated ankle. In his 43 games as a pro, the 2023 No. 9 overall pick has averaged 7.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 21.7 minutes. Hendricks has shown off intriguing 3-and-D potential, but minutes won't be easy to come by in a frontcourt group that also includes Lauri Markkanen, Ace Bailey, Kyle Filipowski and Walker Kessler.
Nov 6, 2024
Undergoes surgery Wednesday
Hendricks underwent surgery on his broken right leg and dislocated ankle Wednesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks operation was done at the University of Utah's Orthopedic center, and it appears to have gone smoothly. The 20-year-old is a candidate to return to action at some point during the 2025-26 season. Coach Will Hardy reinforced Hendricks' future with the organization last week, expressing that the injury "doesn't take away anything he's done to this point. He's developed as a player and as a young man...this is far from over for him."
Oct 29, 2024
Will undergo season ending surgery
Hendricks will undergo surgery to repair the fractured right fibula and dislocated ankle on his right leg, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks' surgery date will be determined within the next 24-48 hours, and this procedure will sideline him for the remainder of the season. The rookie started in all three games thus far and even led the team in steals per game (1.7), but he will spend the rest of the season in recovery.
Oct 29, 2024
Likely done for season
Hendricks is expected to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a fractured right fibula and dislocated ankle in Monday's 110-102 loss to the Mavericks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jazz head coach Will Hardy acknowledged after the game that Hendricks is without an official timeline for a return, but if further tests Tuesday confirm the original diagnosis or reveal additional damage, the second-year forward will be headed for season-ending surgery. Hendricks went down with the injuries with 5:59 remaining in the third quarter, when he fell to the floor on a non-contact play and was stretchered to the locker room. Kyle Filipkowski came off the bench to replace Hendricks, and the Jazz could turn to a committee of Filipowski, John Collins, Drew Eubanks (illness) and Brice Sensabaugh to replace Hendricks' vacated minutes in the frontcourt. Hendricks had started in each of the Jazz's first three games and averaged 4.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.3 blocks, 1.0 three-pointers and 0.7 assists in 25.0 minutes while shooting 22.2 percent from the field.
Oct 28, 2024
Suffers serious injury Monday
Hendricks suffered a fractured right tibia and dislocated ankle in Monday's matchup against Dallas. There is currently no timetable set for his return, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks was carried out of the game on a stretcher after posting two points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 21 minutes. The club is expected to update the 20-year-old's status in the coming days, though the forward should not be expected back on the court anytime soon. With Hendricks out, Brice Sensabaugh, Cody Williams and Kyle Filipowski are candidates for more playing time.
Oct 28, 2024
Won't return Monday
Hendricks was taken out of Monday's game against the Mavericks on a stretcher due to a lower leg injury on his right side, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks sustained a serious injury as the game was stopped for several minutes while he was carried off the floor via stretcher. The 20-year-old posted two points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 21 minutes. If Hendricks misses extended time, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski are both candidates for more minutes.
Oct 21, 2024
Team option picked up
Utah exercised the third-year option on Hendricks' rookie contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
The move allows the Jazz to keep Hendricks under team control through the 2025-26 regular season. Hendricks bounced back and forth between the Jazz and their G League affiliate Salt Lake City Stars during the 2023-24 regular season, and at the NBA level he averaged 7.3 points and 4.6 rebounds across 21.4 minutes per game across 40 games (23 starts). Hendricks was in the starting lineup over the last 23 regular-season games of his rookie year and saw his numbers jump up to 9.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game across 26.3 minutes. He should begin the 2024-25 regular season in the starting frontcourt alongside Lauri Markkanen and John Collins.
Oct 19, 2024
Quiet preseason finale
Hendricks scored one point (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 Ft) while adding two blocks in 19 minutes during Friday's 124-86 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz trotted out a possible Opening Night starting five in their final exhibition contest, and Hendricks saw the most minutes of the group as coach Will Hardy went to his bench early. Aside from the two rejections. Hendricks made almost no impact, bring an erratic preseason for the second-year forward to a quiet end. The Central Florida product should see a bigger role than he did as a rookie, when he averaged 21.4 minutes over 40 games, but his main fantasy contributions could come at the defensive end of the court.
Oct 12, 2024
Struggles with shot Saturday
Hendricks finished with 13 points (4-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a block across 26 minutes in Saturday's 126-120 preseason loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks had a rough showing from the field, but he still ended as one of the three starters who scored in double digits in this loss Saturday. Hendricks is penciled in to start the season as Utah's starting power forward after a 2023-24 rookie year in which he averaged 7.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per contest across 40 regular-season appearances.
Oct 2, 2024
Good to go
Hendricks (personal) will be a full participant in training camp, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jul 21, 2024
Tending to personal issues
Hendricks (personal) isn't with the Jazz for the team's exhibition game against Detroit on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks showed some signs of growth in his second Summer League stint but remained inconsistent on the offensive end. Still, Hendricks should be given plenty of time to work through growing pains during the regular season with the Jazz still in a rebuilding phase.
Jul 17, 2024
Flirts with double-double
Hendricks recorded 20 points (9-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, a steal and a block across 29 minutes of Wednesday's 86-76 win over the Raptors in Summer League.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks paced the Jazz in points and rebounds Wednesday, falling just one rebound shy of a double-double. The second-year forward had combined to score 11 points in his first two Summer League games in Las Vegas, so Wednesday's outburst was a much-needed bounce back game. Hendricks started in 23 of his 40 appearances as a rookie and is slated to open the season as Utah's starting power forward.
Jul 9, 2024
Resting Tuesday
Hendricks (rest) will sit out of the Jazz's Salt Lake City Summer League matchup versus the Thunder on Tuesday, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks posted eight points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in the club's Summer League opener against the Grizzlies. However, the 20-year-old will sit out Tuesday so the Jazz can see more from their draft picks Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier and Kyle Filipowski. Hendricks had a decent rookie season with the club, during which he averaged 7.3 points and 4.6 rebounds across 21.4 minutes while shooting 45.0 percent from the field in 40 regular-season games. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the 76ers.
Apr 14, 2024
Scores 16 points in season finale
Hendricks racked up 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 41 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks finished just two points shy of tying his career-high mark in the final game of the regular season, and while the rookie benefited from an uptick in minutes over the final weeks of the campaign, he looked ready to handle a more prominent role if called upon duty in 2024-25. Hendricks is not expected to contend for a starting role next season unless the Jazz make a couple of roster moves.
Apr 3, 2024
Puts up 18 points in loss
Hendricks chipped in 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 129-113 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks has proven valuable amid Lauri Markkanen's (shoulder) absence, and he put together his second consecutive 18-point outing in the loss to Cleveland. Hendricks and Brice Sensabaugh were encouraging first-round hauls in the 2023 draft, and both players are reaping dividends as they take on increased roles at the end of the season.
Mar 28, 2024
Solid outing in loss
Hendricks contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 118-111 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks recorded his seventh game this season with at least one steal and one block during Wednesday's loss to the Spurs. The rookie forward is averaging 8.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 26.6 minutes across his 14 starts this season.
Mar 21, 2024
Three blocks in OKC
Hendricks had 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-107 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The rookie forward made his fourth straight start since returning from a toe injury and displayed his versatile skill set, draining multiple threes for the third straight game and recording at least one block for the fourth straight. Hendricks has started 10 straight games in total around the injury, averaging 9.3 points, 7.2 boards, 1.4 threes, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 assists, and while his usage and limited shot volume put a ceiling on his short-term fantasy value, he's establishing himself as a key part of Utah's rebuild.
Mar 17, 2024
Tallies first double-double in loss
Hendricks contributed 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 119-100 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks hauled in a team-high-tying rebound total while ending as one of three Jazz players with 15 or more points and posting one of two double-doubles for Utah in a losing effort. Hendricks set a new season high in scoring in the game, notching his sixth game of the year with 10 or more points. He has hauled in at least 10 boards in three games this season, posting his first double-double of the year.
Mar 16, 2024
Makes mark defensively in return
Hendricks (toe) tallied three points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three blocks across 19 minutes Friday in the Jazz's 124-122 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks stepped back into the starting five Friday in his return from a three-game absence due to a ligament sprain in his left big toe, and though he didn't enter the contest with a specified minutes restriction, the Jazz ended up keeping his playing time in check anyway while he battled foul trouble. Aside from racking up five fouls and shooting poorly during his time on the court, Hendricks was still able to make a useful contribution on the defensive end. Now that he's past the toe injury, Hendricks should see his playing time pick up steadily in the games to come as the 29-37 Jazz shift into evaluation mode for some of their young talent in the midst of a losing season.
Mar 15, 2024
Available to play
Hendricks (toe) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks missed the past three games for Utah, but he logged a full practice Wednesday and is all set to return with no word of any restrictions. In his last six appearances, Hendricks averaged 9.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers.
Mar 14, 2024
Questionable to play Friday
Hendricks (toe) is questionable to play Friday against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks logged a full practice Wednesday, and given the Jazz don't play until Friday, it seems he has a good chance of suiting up. The rookie out of UCF, who has missed the last three games with the injury, is averaging 9.2 points and 7.0 rebounds per game over his previous six starts.
Mar 13, 2024
Full practice participant
Hendricks went through a full practice Wednesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks has missed Utah's last three contests due to a ligament sprain he suffered in his left big toe. However, the rookie forward's return to practice is a good sign of his availability for Friday's matchup with Atlanta.
Mar 5, 2024
Out at least a week
The Jazz announced Tuesday that Hendricks be out at least one week after an MRI confirmed a ligament sprain in his left big toe, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks will miss at least a week of action after suffering a left big toe injury against Washington. Brice Sensabaugh and Luka Samanic are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Hendricks' next opportunity to suit up will come against Atlanta on March 15.
Mar 4, 2024
Won't return Monday
Hendricks has been ruled out for the second half of Monday's game against the Wizards after suffering a left big toe sprain, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks will be considered day-to-day moving forward until more information on his injury comes to light. Look for Brice Sensabaugh and Luka Samanic to pick up extra minutes in the second half with Hendricks out of commission.
Mar 1, 2024
Flirts with double-double
Hendricks ended with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks has drawn four straight starts, averaging 9.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 27.0 minutes per game during that stretch. The rookie's defensive production could be better, but he's been efficient from the field and displayed a competent three-point shot, draining multiple triples in back-to-back games.
Feb 23, 2024
Solid numbers in first career start
Hendricks ended with 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 loss to Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Getting the first start of his NBA career, Hendricks nearly produced his first career double-double in a very solid performance. The Jazz have started their youth movement in earnest -- Keyonte George, the 16th overall pick in the 2023 Draft, has started the last four games at point guard, and Hendricks (ninth overall in the same draft) figures to get a long look at power forward.
Feb 22, 2024
Starting against Hornets
Hendricks will start against the Hornets on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
With Hendricks making the first start of his NBA career, the Jazz will move Walker Kessler to the bench with John Collins sliding over to center. Hendricks has 17 games under his belt with the Jazz, averaging 4.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 14.7 minutes. This is an indication that he'll be getting many more opportunities to close out the season.
Feb 7, 2024
Returns to NBA
Utah recalled Hendricks from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks and Brice Sensabaugh were both elevated Wednesday morning and will presumably practice with the Jazz, who don't play until Thursday in Phoenix. Hendricks hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Jan. 12.
Feb 2, 2024
Recalled from G League
Utah recalled Hendricks from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Thursday.
ANALYSIS

Jan 12, 2024
Back to NBA

Oct 28, 2023
Assigned to G League
The Jazz assigned Hendricks to the Salt Lake City Stars on Saturday, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks has played just two minutes across Utah's first two games. Despite being selected ninth overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, it appears Utah wants to send Hendricks down to the G League to aid in his development.
Aug 15, 2023
Recovered from injury
Hendricks (hamstring) has been cleared for all on-court activities, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks missed all of the Summer League due to a right hamstring strain. However, the 2023 No. 9 pick appears to be fully recovered and should be good to go for the regular season.
Jul 16, 2023
Remains out
Hendricks (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League game against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Hendricks hasn't played at all in the Summer League despite reportedly making progress in his recovery from a right hamstring strain. If Utah wins, the rookie will have a chance to suit up in the championship game Monday, though it's unlikely the Jazz would force him into action after being cautious the last two weeks.
Jul 14, 2023
Remains out Friday
