Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: Team option picked up
Utah exercised the third-year option on Hendricks' rookie contract Monday.
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. 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.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Team option picked up
The Jazz exercised the third-year rookie scale option on Sensabaugh's contract Monday.
Sensabaugh is now under contract through the 2025-26 season. He made 32 regular-season appearances as a rookie, including 11 starts. As a starter, Sensabaugh averaged 10.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.3 minutes per game. However, most of those came when Utah had already thrown in the towel and were resting players. Sensabaugh is expected to handle a minor reserve role to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Third-year option exercised
The Jazz exercised the third-year option on George's rookie contract Monday.
This allows Utah to keep George under team control through the 2025-26 regular season. He entered the starting lineup late in the 2023-24 regular season due to injuries to Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson. Over his final 28 starts, George averaged 15.8 points, 4.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 31.4 minutes per game. George is expected to run with the first unit with Sexton while Clarkson serves in a sixth-man role.

Jazz's Walker Kessler: Team option exercised
The Jazz exercised the fourth-year rookie scale option on Kessler's contract Monday.
Kessler is now under contract through the 2025-26 season. After starting 40 games as a rookie, the big man made only 22 starts last year. He operated as a starter during the preseason, so an expanded role in Year 3 is possible, though it remains unclear if coach Will Hardy will let Kessler play 25-plus minutes a night consistently.

Jazz's Brice Sensabaugh: Solid finish to preseason
Sensabaugh scored 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT) while adding two rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-86 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers.
The second-year forward led all Jazz players in minutes and points on the night. Sensabaugh didn't have a regular spot in the frontcourt rotation until late February as a rookie, but over the last 25 contests last season he averaged 22.2 minutes a game with 9.0 points, 3.9 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.3 threes, usage and production he could match in 2024-25 as a part of the second unit.

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: 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.
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, bringing 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.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Effective during preseason win
Sexton compiled 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, two steals, a rebound and a blocked shot across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-114 win over the Kings.
Injuries have plagued Sexton throughout his career, but after appearing in 78 games with the Jazz last season, his best basketball should still be ahead of him. If he can improve on last year's results, we could see production reminiscent of his days with the Cavaliers, where he averaged 24.3 points per game in 2020-21.

Jazz's Lauri Markkanen: Returns from rest with solid line
Markkanen logged 21 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Tuesday's 117-114 win over the Kings.
The Jazz went all-in with Markkanen during the offseason, signing him to a five-year, $238 million extension. Injuries plagued Markkanen somewhat last season, and it's a pattern he has replicated often during his seven-year career. He's never recorded more than 68 games during his tenures with Chicago, Cleveland and Utah. Although he's invaluable when healthy, his fantasy potential will only be fully realized if he can reverse that trend.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Excels in backcourt during win
George produced 24 points (7-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five assists, three rebounds and a blocked shot across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 117-114 preseason win over the Kings.
George assumed a lot of responsibility late in the season when Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson both went down with injuries, but the rookie responded well. Even with Sexton and Clarkson full healthy, George is projected to run with the first unit, relegating Clarkson to the sixth-man role that has become his hallmark. The second-year player still needs to improve his shot efficiency and show up more on defense, but he has all the tools to succeed alongside Sexton in the backcourt.

Jazz's John Collins: Three swats in win
Collins (rest) posted 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 117-114 preseason win over the Kings.
Collins returned to action Tuesday after missing Utah's previous contest for rest purposes. Despite struggling with his outside shot, Collins' defensive contributions gave the Jazz a big boost off the bench in their win over Sacramento. He's set to start at center for Utah this season.

Jazz's Jordan Clarkson: Efficient in victory
Clarkson (rest) tallied 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-114 preseason win over the Kings.
Clarkson returned to action Tuesday after missing Utah's previous outing for rest purposes. Clarkson has established himself as one of the NBA's best scoring guards off the bench and was pivotal in the Jazz's win over Sacramento.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Returns to bench
Williams isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Kings, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Lauri Markkanen will reclaim his starting spot from Williams after sitting out Utah's previous outing for rest purposes. Williams should continue to function as one of the primary forwards in the team's bench rotation.

Jazz's Keyonte George: Will play Tuesday
George (knee/rest) will be available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
George didn't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, as the Jazz took a cautious approach after the guard tweaked his knee earlier in the preseason. All signs point to George being at or close to 100 percent with Opening Night less than two weeks away.

Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Out for preseason
Collier will miss the remainder of the preseason after an MRI on Monday revealed a right hamstring strain, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Collier is expected to be re-evaluated in 10 days, making him questionable at best for Opening Night against the Grizzlies on Oct. 23. With Collier missing the final two preseason contests, more minutes could be available for Collin Sexton, Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk.

Jazz's Justin Lewis: Lands with Utah
The Jazz signed Lewis to an Exhibit 10 contract Sunday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Lewis will join the club on a non-guaranteed pact, though he is expected to land with the club's G League affiliate -- the Salt Lake City Stars -- for the 2024-25 campaign. The 22-year-old made 29 regular-season appearances for the Stars last year, during which he averaged 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds across 14.4 minutes per game.

Jazz's Taylor Hendricks: 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.
Hendricks had a rough showing from the field, but he still ended as one of three Jazz 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.

Jazz's Collin Sexton: Scores team-high 24 points
Sexton finished with 24 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, a steal and a block across 31 minutes in Saturday's 126-120 preseason loss to the Spurs.
The Jazz were depleted for this preseason contest since they were without Lauri Markkanen (rest) and Keyonte George (knee), but Sexton stepped up and finished as the leading scorer in this preseason loss. Sexton has locked down a starting role in the backcourt, and while he gets most of his fantasy upside as a scoring weapon, he could handle more playmaking duties if George is forced to miss time in the early stages of the regular season.
