Kennedy Chandler News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Reaches free agency Chandler became a free agent Tuesday after his 10-day contract with the Jazz expired.

Impact Utah will have the ability to sign Chandler to a second 10-day pact or rest-of-deal, and if the team intends to retain him, he'll likely finalize a new contract ahead of Wednesday's game versus Denver. Over the course of his 10-day deal, Chandler saw extensive playing time for a Utah squad that's been ravaged by injuries. Over his six appearances, the 23-year-old point guard shot 43.1 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from downtown while averaging 14.2 points, 6.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.3 minutes.

Impact The Jazz are down Isaiah Collier (hamstring), Keyonte George (hamstring) and Elijah Harkless (hamstring), so Chandler is needed to make the first start of his career. The 23-year-old has played well in five appearances with Utah this season, averaging 14.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 30.8 minutes per contest.

Solid bench contribution in defeat Chandler registered 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and eight assists across 24 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 loss to the Suns.

Impact Chandler had an opportunity to shine thanks to uninspired performances from Elijah Harkless and Cody Williams. After failing to catch on with Memphis last season, Chandler has found his way into a role with Utah's parent club due to the injuries throughout the Jazz's roster. He's averaged 14.5 points and an encouraging 7.2 assists over five games, and he may play his way into a full-time contract next season if he keeps putting up solid numbers.

Solid production continues Chandler registered 14 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-6 FT), one rebound, eight assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Chandler suited up for the third straight game, continuing to turn some heads with his solid play. During that three-game span, he has averaged 15.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers, placing him firmly on the standard league radar.

Just misses double-double Monday Chandler finished with 13 points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 29 minutes off the bench during Monday's 143-127 loss to the Raptors.

Impact The 23-year-old guard was productive once again in his second game since signing a 10-day contract with the Jazz, and Chandler fell one dime short of his first career double-double in the NBA. With Keyonte George (hamstring) out until at least the end of the month and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) also down, there should be plenty of work available for Chandler in the short term.

Thrives in season debut Chandler registered 19 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-116 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Chandler stepped on an NBA court for the first time since the 2022-23 season, when he appeared in 36 games as a member of the Grizzlies, but he certainly left a good impression in this contest. He signed a 10-day deal with the Jazz on Friday, and if he performs like that over the course of the contract, he could find a way to stay with the Jazz until the end of the 2025-26 season at least.

Lands 10-day deal Chandler agreed to a 10-day contract with the Jazz on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Unless the Jazz have been granted another hardship exception that will temporarily allow the team to carry 16 players on its roster, Chandler will be replacing forward Andersson Garcia, whose 10-day deal expired Friday. Chandler hasn't seen NBA action since appearing in 36 games with the Grizzlies as a rookie in 2022-23, but the 23-year-old point guard has been one of the top distributors in the G League this season. He leads the circuit with 8.9 assists per game and is also averaging 15.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 33.9 minutes over his 28 games with the Delaware Blue Coats. With Keyonte George (hamstring) uncertain to return this season and Isaiah Collier's (hamstring) status in flux for the Jazz's next game Saturday versus the 76ers, Chandler could be in line for heavy minutes right off the bat in his first appearance for Utah.

Impact Chandler has an Exhibit 10 contract with the 76ers, and Thursday's showing was decent enough to bode well for chances of making the team in some capacity.
