Johnny Juzang News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves

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.

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.

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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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, 2024 • 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.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Tuesday Juzang didn't play in Tuesday's 103-98 preseason loss to the Clippers.

Impact After dealing with a quadriceps injury in Summer League play, Juzang hasn't been on Utah's preseason injury reports but hasn't taken the court during the team's first two exhibition games. His next opportunity to play will be Saturday against the Trail Blazers.

OCTOBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Juzang won't play in Sunday's Summer League game against the Rockets due to a left quadriceps contusion.

Impact Juzang has been a focal point for Utah's Summer League squad, averaging 12.5 points across 23.7 minutes per game. If Utah wins, the second-year guard will have a chance to suit up for the championship Monday.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10 off bench Juzang supplied 10 points (3-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Friday's 144-116 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact This game was over in a hurry, so Juzang was able to get extended run in the blowout. He played minutes in the low teens in his previous two games, and he's a candidate to see more run in the final two weeks with the Jazz looking toward the future.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Friday Juzang (hip) is available for Friday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Juzang was upgraded from questionable to available Friday with a left hip flexor strain. He is averaging 3.7 points and 1.4 rebounds in 10.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Milwaukee Juzang is questionable for Friday's game against the Bucks due to a left hip flexor strain.

Impact Juzang played double-digit minutes in his last two appearances, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up against Milwaukee. If he's available, it's possible he sees a slight uptick in playing time since the Jazz will be without several starters.

Impact With Utah having already ruled out four players for Tuesday's game due to injury or illness, Juzang looks like he'll get the rare chance to dress for the NBA squad. The two-way rookie out of UCLA has yet to make his NBA debut and likely won't be part of head coach Will Hardy's rotation Tuesday.

Makes return in G League Juzang (wrist) played 21 minutes for the G League's Salt Lake City Stars in Monday's 109-104 loss to the Capital City Go-Go, finishing with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), fi...

Impact Juzang's 21-minute appearance with Salt Lake City marked the two-way player's first at either the NBA or G League level since Nov. 18, as the rookie had been sidelined for a month with a Grade 3 sprain of his right wrist. The 6-foot-6 wing isn't expected to be part of the NBA rotation at any point this season and should continue to receive most of his opportunities in the G League.

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not available Friday Juzang (wrist) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Juzang, one of the Jazz's two-way players, has yet to make his NBA debut. He's been out of action at the G League level for the past three weeks due to a right wrist sprain and is without a clear timeline to resume playing.

DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to G League Salt Lake City Juzang has joined G League Salt Lake City.

Impact Juzang signed with the Jazz on a two-way deal this offseason, so this seemed a likely move at some point. Juzang should claim a regular role with the G League squad and will likely float between the two levels in 2022-23.
