Johnny Juzang News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Productive off bench Friday Juzang produced 22 points (8-14 FG, 6-11 3Pt) and two rebounds in 26 minutes during Friday's 141-99 win over Portland.

Impact The Jazz secured one of their biggest wins in recent memory, and the nature of the contest allowed some of the bench players to get extra minutes in the second half. Juzang, a former UCLA standout, recorded his best scoring output of the campaign and also extended his streak of games with double-digit points to three contests. While the third-year guard is having his most productive stretch of the season, his fantasy value shouldn't be very high, as he's strictly a bench option who rarely logs more than 20 minutes per appearance.

Plays well off bench Juzang chipped in 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and one assist over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 133-106 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Juzang reached double-digit points for the second game in a row, and he saw his second largest workload of the season. Jordan Clarkson (foot) has missed five games in a row for the Jazz, and Juzang made a strong case to the coaching staff to keep him more involved Tuesday.

Scores 12 points off bench Juzang registered 12 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Over his last three appearances, Juzang has averaged 12.3 points and 1.0 steals over 20.3 minutes per game. The Jazz got Jordan Clarkson (heel), Lauri Markkanen (back) and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) back Thursday, but Juzang remained in the rotation and played well, which bodes well for his role moving forward.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Strong output off bench Juzang closed with 17 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 129-103 loss to Denver.

Impact Juzang took advantage of the absence of Jordan Clarkson (heel) to operate as Utah's primary scoring weapon off the bench. This 17-point output was even more surprising since he went scoreless in his first two appearances. Juzang should continue to see minutes off the bench as long as the Jazz remain depleted, though his fantasy upside is minimal and should only be considered a streaming alternative in specific slates.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up Tuesday Juzang (thumb) is available to play in Tuesday's game against the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Juzang is expected to make his 2024-25 debut after missing the club's first three regular-season outings due to a sprained right thumb. The 23-year-old impressed during the preseason, and he should play a role off the bench behind Jordan Clarkson with Isaiah Collier (hamstring) out.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Juzang (thumb) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Juzang has yet to play in a regular-season game this season due to a thumb sprain. Even if he's cleared to suit up, he's not guaranteed any playing time.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Juzang (thumb) is out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Juzang has yet to appear this season as he struggles with a thumb injury. His continued absence doesn't have any fantasy implications.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Juzang (thumb) will not play in Friday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Juzang will miss his second consecutive regular-season game due to a right thumb sprain. The 23-year-old's next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Mavericks.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Juzang is out for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a right thumb sprain, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Juzang's absence shouldn't affect Utah's rotation significantly. The 23-year-old guard's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Golden State.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Solid outing once again Juzang recorded 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, an assist, two steals and a block across 12 minutes off the bench in Monday's 122-113 preseason win over the Rockets...

Impact Juzang was one of the Jazz's best players for a second consecutive preseason game, and he seems to be gaining steam toward earning a spot on the regular-season roster despite playing on a two-way deal. Juzang has shot 11-for-14 from the field in two preseason games, and his performance over the subsequent contests could strengthen his grip on a rotation role with the regular season approaching quickly.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Leads Utah in preseason opener Juzang notched 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt), a rebound and two assists across 19 minutes off the bench in Friday's 116-87 preseason win over the Breakers.

Impact The bench players had a significant run in this preseason opener and Juzang certainly made the most of the opportunity, leading Utah in scoring and showing he might belong at the NBA level despite playing on a two-way deal. A couple more strong showings in preseason could allow Juzang to compete for a regular-season roster spot.

Remaining in Utah The Jazz signed Juzang to a four-year, $12 million contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Juzang spent the last two seasons with the Jazz on two-way contracts, splitting time between the G League and NBA clubs. In 2023-24, he averaged 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.6 minutes across NBA 20 appearances for the Jazz. With Juzang signing his new contract, it appears that Utah sees him as a long-term piece for the franchise.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Jazz extends qualifying offer The Jazz extended a qualifying offer to Juzang on Saturday, making him a restricted free agent, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Juzang's role grew with the Jazz towards the end of the 2023-24 campaign, so it's not a surprise to see that they are interested in keeping the score-first guard around. Juzang spent a lot of time in the G League as well, but in his 20 appearances with the Jazz, he produced averages of 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

JUNE 29 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Denver Juzang is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Utah Jazz's play-by-play commentator David Locke reports.

Impact Juzang will move to the starting lineup due to the absence of Collin Sexton (illness) and on the heels of a 27-point effort off the bench the last time out. He's made just one start this season, where he posted eight points across 21 minutes in a loss to the Rockets on March 23.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Explodes for 27 points from bench Juzang posted 27 points (9-12 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Juzang has only appeared in 16 games for the Jazz this season, but he came out of nowhere with a career-high 27 points during the loss. The UCLA product has been a lethal long-range threat with the Salt Lake City Stars, and he showed the same sharpshooting prowess Sunday with seven three-pointers. Juzang has earned himself additional playing time in the final week after this impressive performance.

Cleared to play Juzang (back) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Rockets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Juzang will shed his questionable tag and will likely see some rotation minutes Friday. In March, Juzang has averaged 17.2 minutes across nine appearances.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Juzang (back) is questionable to play Friday against the Rockets.

Impact Juzang missed Wednesday's loss to the Spurs and is now in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. However, even if he's available, he's not expected to impact the rotation significantly.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Juzang will not play in Wednesday's game versus the Spurs due to back spasms.

Impact Juzang is a late addition to Utah's injury report. In his absence, Brice Sensabaugh and Talen Horton-Tucker could be in line for a few more depth minutes on the wing.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Juzang will start at small forward in Saturday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.

Impact Juzang will get the spot-start due to Lauri Markkanen (rest) being sidelined. It marks the 23-year-old's first start of the season, so he could be in line for a healthier workload than usual.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Career-best scoring night Juzang recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and three rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-122 victory over Atlanta.

Impact The second-year wing shattered his prior career NBA scoring high of 11 with an impressive effort from long distance -- Juzang was just 2-for-14 on three-point attempts this season coming into the game. The absence of Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) has created an opening in the Jazz rotation that Juzang has done his best to fill -- in three of the five games Markkanen has missed so far, Juzang has played at least 20 minutes.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Sacramento Juzang (quadriceps) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Juzang is available for Wednesday's season opener after missing the entire preseason with a quadriceps injury. As a two-way player, Juzang will split time between the NBA and G League this season.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Juzang (quadriceps) didn't play in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to Utah.

Impact Juzang continues to deal with a quadriceps injury he suffered during Summer League action. Given he didn't play at all during the preseason, his status for the regular season seems murky, at best. Even when he's healthy, the second-year wing will presumably spend most of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League.
