Strong showing from deep Hinson recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 109-97 preseason win over Denver.

Impact Hinson made a strong impression in Utah's preseason opener, with four of his six rebounds coming on the offensive glass in addition to his efficient perimeter shooting. The 26-year-old averaged 11.9 points and 2.6 three-pointers in just 20.4 minutes across 14 regular-season appearances last year, and performances like Sunday's could help him carve out a larger role in 2026-27.

Scores 10 points in finale Hinson logged 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 131-107 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Hinson, who was on a two-way contract, played a hefty role down the stretch with the Jazz shutting so many players down. He ended up with 14 total NBA appearances, posting averages of 11.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 20.4 minutes per contest.

Explodes for 30 points in rout Hinson amassed 30 points (12-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 147-101 win over Memphis.

Impact Utah's choice to improve its draft odds by filling the court with backups and two-way players backfired, as Hinson posted a massive total in the blowout. The rookie out of Pittsburgh has spent most of the season in the G League, but his elite shooting and NBA-caliber size give the 26-year-old a chance to make the parent club's roster next season. Hinson will likely draw the start in the season finale against the Lakers.

Drains go-aead three for the win Hinson finished Monday's 119-116 win over the Warriors with 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes.
