Impact Filipowski briefly returned to the G League for Thursday's matchup, though he had a negative impact during his limited run. The rookie will join the Jazz ahead of their matchup against the Suns on Friday, and he'll attempt to increase his workload during his second consecutive matchup following a seven-game absence due to a lower leg injury.

Impact Filipowski logged 15 minutes in Tuesday's 106-104 loss to the San Diego Clippers, finishing with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists. He'll be a candidate to see more minutes with Utah if the franchise unloads some veterans at the trade deadline.

Questionable to play Sunday Filipowski (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.

Impact Filipowski has missed the Jazz's last seven games due to a left lower leg injury, though he did play for the G League Salt Lake City Stars on Friday against the South Bay Lakers, finishing with 10 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 24 minutes. That should mean he is trending towards making his return Sunday, but he might be on a minutes restriction if he does play. In his 11 games with Utah prior to his injury (including eight starts), Filipowski averaged 8.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 21.1 minutes per game.

Recalled by Utah The Jazz recalled Filipowski from the G League Salt Lake City Stars on Saturday.

Impact Filipowski played in Friday's G League game against the South Bay Lakers and finished with 10 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 24 minutes. He had missed six of the Jazz's prior six games due to a lower left leg injury, but his short stint in the G League allowed him to get his feet back under himself, and he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Kings. Filipowski was in the Jazz's starting lineup for the five games prior to his injury, and over that span he averaged 8.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals over 25.0 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Dallas Filipowski (leg) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Filipowski will miss a fourth straight game due to a left leg injury, and his next chance to play will be against the Lakers on Sunday. The Jazz will be getting reinforcements in Lauri Markkanen (personal) and John Collins (knee) for Saturday's contest.

NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Wednesday Filipowski (leg) will not play Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Impact As expected, Filipowski will miss his third game in a row for the Jazz. Lauri Markkanen (personal) has also been ruled out, while John Collins (knee) is questionable. Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks could see an uptick in minutes as a result.

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Filipowski (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Filipowski will miss his second straight game due to a right ankle sprain he suffered against San Antonio this past Thursday. His next opportunity to play will be the Jazz's second leg of a back-to-back set against the Nuggets on Wednesday. Drew Eubanks and Brice Sensabaugh are likely to see an uptick in playing time due to Filipowski's injury.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Saturday Filipowski (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Knicks.

Impact Filipowski sprained his right ankle in Thursday's loss to the Spurs and won't play for the first time since the regular-season opener. With the rookie sidelined, Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks are candidates for an uptick in playing time. Filipowski's next chance to feature will come Tuesday against the Spurs.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Filipowski has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Spurs due to a right ankle sprain, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports. He had four points (1-6 FG, 0-1...

Impact Filipowski went to the locker room during the third quarter and was later ruled out for the final 12 minutes of play. Expect Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks to pick up additional minutes down the stretch in Filipowski's absence.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in start Thursday Filipowski notched 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and a steal across 30 minutes in Thursday's 115-113 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Filipowski earned a start for this game after notching a career-high 18-point effort off the bench in a loss to the Suns on Tuesday, and he carried the momentum into this contest. This was his highest-scoring start of the season, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him remain in a starting role when the Jazz take on the Kings on Saturday due to the lack of depth Utah currently has in its frontcourt. Taylor Hendricks (leg) is out, while the status of both Lauri Markkanen (nose) and Walker Kessler (hip) is uncertain in a best-case scenario.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to starting role Filipowski is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Filipowski enters the lineup after scoring a career-high 18 points in the loss to the Suns on Tuesday. This will be the rookie's fourth start of the campaign, and he's averaging 7.0 points with 5.3 rebounds per game in his previous three.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Lands career-high 18 points Filipowski produced 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Filipowski poured in a career-high 18 points, logging at least 23 minutes for the second straight game. It's been an up-and-down season for the rookie, his role seemingly changing on a nightly basis. Given what we have seen thus far from the Jazz, there is certainly a world in which they are eliminated from the postseason discussion sooner rather than earlier. Should this be the case, Filipowski's minutes could increase on a more consistent basis.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Drops out of rotation Filipowski played four minutes in Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks, scoring zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and recording no other statistics during his time on the court.

Impact Filipowski had started each of the last three games while averaging 7.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.3 minutes, but he fell out of the Utah rotation Thursday while Lauri Markkanen (back) made his return to the lineup. The rookie second-round pick didn't check into the game until 4:13 remained in the fourth quarter, when the game was effectively over while the Bucks sat on a 20-point lead. Jazz head coach Will Hardy went with John Collins and Drew Eubanks as the primary backups in the frontcourt behind starters Markkanen and Walker Kessler, so it may take another injury to one of the quartet before Filipowski slots back into the rotation.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench role Filipowski will come off the bench Thursday night against the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Filipowski made three straight starts while Lauri Markkanen recovered from a back issue, but the rookie will return to a reserve role following Markkanen's return. Filipowski struggled to see much run in his first two appearances off the bench but logged 25 minutes as a reserve Oct. 29 against the Kings, so there's really no blueprint to help identify how many minutes he'll shoulder Thursday evening.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Posts 12 points as fill-in Filipowski totaled 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Thursday's 106-88 loss to the Spurs.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen (back) temporarily sidelined, Filipowski drew the first start of his NBA career. Increased opportunity was already on the horizon after Taylor Hendricks (ankle) was lost for the season, although the current solution to that problem has been a front three featuring Cody Williams. Filipowski's preseason outlook was bleak considering his position in the depth chart, but the shakeup will improve his chances to contribute.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Starting for Markkanen Filipowski will start at power forward Thursday night against the Spurs, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Filipowski is set to make his first NBA start after news broke that Lauri Markkanen (back) wouldn't suit up Thursday. The rookie center looked sharp in his last appearance Tuesday against the Kings, tallying 12 points, eight boards, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Near double-double in elevated role Filipowski recorded 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.

Impact With Taylor Hendricks (ankle) likely done for the season and Lauri Markkanen (back) leaving Tuesday's contest early, Filipowski made the most of his expanded role. He totaled just nine minutes in the previous three contests, so it's unclear what the rookie's role will be moving forward, especially if Markkanen isn't sidelined long-term. However, if Markkanen is sidelined, Filipowski should have a clear path to consistent minutes.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Jazz sign 32nd pick Kyle Filipowski to 4-year rookie contract Filipowski debuted with the Jazz in summer league, averaging 11 points, six rebounds, 1.9 assists and one steal in eight games.

AUGUST 13 • USATODAY.COM

Inks four-year deal Filipowski agreed to a four-year, $12 million contract with the Jazz on Monday, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This is a generous deal for Filipowski, who took a risk by playing in Summer League without putting pen to paper on a contract after he was selected in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft. Marks notes that this is the largest contract for a player selected in the second round of the draft in the last two years. With contract negotiations now in the rearview mirror, the big man can set his sights on earning a spot in Utah's rotation, which could prove challenging behind Taylor Hendricks (personal), Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) and John Collins (back).
