Jaren Jackson Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Solid two-way production in win Jackson posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 21 minutes in Friday's 119-116 preseason win over the Suns.

Impact Jackson made the most of his 21 minutes in the preseason finale, finishing as Utah's second-best scorer behind Lauri Markkanen while adding two steals and two blocks on the defensive end. Jackson's ability to contribute points, blocks and steals remains central to his fantasy appeal, and his performance offered an encouraging conclusion to Utah's preseason schedule. He's set to play a massive role in the frontcourt as long as he stays healthy -- he's coming off a 2025-26 season in which he was limited to just 48 regular-season appearances.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

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.

Impact 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.

New addition could help him The Jazz's selection of Darryn Peterson gives Jackson (knee) another high-end offensive creator to play alongside entering 2026-27.

Impact 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.
