Jazz's Jaren Jackson: Efficient in preseason win
Jackson recorded 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 18 minutes in Monday's 119-109 preseason win over the Spurs.
Jackson was efficient offensively, finishing as one of seven Jazz players to score in double figures. The big man appeared in just three regular-season games with Utah last season due to a left knee issue after being acquired from Memphis at the trade deadline, but now healthy, he figures to be a focal point for the 2026-27 campaign.

Jazz's Jaren Jackson: Scores seven points Tuesday
Jackson finished with seven points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one block in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 117-106 preseason loss to Denver.
Jackson showed well in limited action Tuesday. The star big man is being drafted around the fourth round in most fantasy leagues, and he's all set to be one of Utah's top scoring options in 2026-27 alongside Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George.

Jazz's Jaren Jackson: Building chemistry at camp
Jackson is still developing chemistry with Utah's core after having limited time alongside his teammates following his arrival last season, according to Jazz reporter Eric Spyropoulos.
Head coach Will Hardy said Tuesday that Jackson's familiarity with the roster doesn't change the fact that he's still early in the learning process after appearing in only three games for Utah last season. Hardy was encouraged by Jackson's communication during the Jazz's opening practice and highlighted the big man's versatility as something that gives the team several options. Developing chemistry with Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George should be a point of emphasis throughout training camp.

Jazz's Jaren Jackson: Figures to play key role in 2026-27
With Walker Kessler now in Los Angeles, Jackson (knee) figures to be an even more essential piece for the Jazz in 2026-27, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon.
Jackson was traded from Memphis to Utah in February, though he appeared in only three regular-season games for the Jazz before undergoing surgery due to a growth in his left knee. The 2022-23 Defensive Player of the Year will look to make his presence felt on that end of the floor and anchor a now Kessler-less Jazz frontcourt. Jackson's two-way production will be crucial for a Utah team that's looking to return to playoff contention, and he hasn't averaged fewer than 18.6 points per game since the 2021-22 campaign, when he averaged 16.3 points per tilt for the Grizzlies.

Jazz's Jaren Jackson: New addition could help
The Jazz's selection of Darryn Peterson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft gives Jackson (knee) another high-end offensive creator to play alongside entering 2026-27.
Jackson appeared to fit seamlessly after arriving in Utah last season before a knee issue cut his campaign short, and he should remain a focal point of the team's frontcourt once healthy. Peterson's arrival could reduce some of the offensive burden on Jackson while allowing him to focus more heavily on his defensive impact. Assuming he enters training camp healthy, Jackson projects to remain one of Utah's most productive two-way players.
