Rehabbing from back surgery Jazz head coach Will Hardy said Saturday that Filipowski is progressing well and doing the necessary steps to get back on the court, but the big man doesn't have a return timeline,...

Impact Filipowski tweaked his back while lifting in the 2025-26 offseason, which caused painful sciatica down his leg throughout the campaign and limited his explosiveness. This offseason, he underwent surgery to fix the herniated disc in his back that was causing the pain, and he's still rehabbing. With Jusuf Nurkic (foot) slated to miss Opening Night, Filipowski's availability moving forward will be one to monitor closely.

Won't play Tuesday Filipowski (back) is out for Tuesday's exhibition versus the Nuggets.

Impact Filipowski has yet to play or practice since the preseason began on Oct. 4. His next chance to suit up will come next Monday against the Spurs.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Tuesday Filipowski (back) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact This will be Filipowski's second straight preseason game on the inactive list, so hopefully this isn't something that lingers into the regular season. His next chance to suit up will come next Monday against the Spurs.

OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Filipowski is out for Sunday's preseason opener against the Nuggets due to a lower back issue, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Filipowski is dealing with a tight lower back, so he'll sit out Sunday's exhibition. His next chance to play will come in a rematch with the Nuggets on Tuesday.

OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Reduced role likely on tap Filipowski (back) is likely to settle for a bench role to begin 2026-27 after ending last season as a starter.

Impact Filipowski filled the void left behind by Jusuf Nurkic, who underwent season-ending nose surgery in February, but the Jazz are fully expected to get reinforcements for Opening Night. Nurkic is the early favorite to start at center, Utah added Jaxson Hayes to the frontcourt mix and Jaren Jackson (knee) figures to be healthy when training camp opens this fall, leaving Filipowski with plenty of obstacles to climb in order to maintain fantasy relevance in 2026-27.

Available versus Pelicans Filipowski (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Filipowski was initially listed as questionable before being upgraded to probable. In two games against New Orleans this season, the 22-year-old has averaged 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 steals across 24.0 minutes of work. However, with the Jazz down several of their top scorers, Filipowski should receive more opportunities on the offensive end.

Probable for Tuesday Filipowski (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Filipowski was previously listed as questionable, but it appears he will give it a go. With the Jazz going to be very thin up front, Filipowski may play a featured role.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Filipowski is questionable for Tuesday's game against New Orlean due to lower-back injury management.

Impact It looks like the Jazz are contemplating a maintenance day for Filipowski as the team rides out the final week of a losing season. Oscar Tshiebwe would likely draw the start at center if Filipowski winds up sitting out Tuesday, while Kevin Love could see some burn as the No. 2 big man in this scenario.

Double-doubles in blowout loss Filipowski closed with 20 points (10-25 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 146-111 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Filipowski didn't have his best shooting performance after needing 25 shots to score 20 points, although he had to deal with the size and defensive ability of the imposing Chet Holmgren - Isaiah Hartenstein frontcourt. Despite the subpar showing in terms of efficiency, Filipowski still reached the 20-point mark and delivered his third double-double across his last four appearances. Filipowski should be one of Utah's go-to options on offense in the final week of the regular season. He's averaging 17.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Big double-double against Denver Filipowski recorded 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact It was Filipowski's second straight double-double, and his 12th of the season, one short of the mark he set as a rookie in 2024-25. The second-round pick out of Duke has scored 20-plus points in four straight games, averaging 24.0 points, 9.8 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.3 steals during that surge while shooting 63.8 percent from the floor and 43.5 percent (10-for-23) from long distance.
