Out Tuesday Filipowski (wrist) won't play Tuesday against the Lakers.

Impact Filipowski will miss his first game of the season Tuesday, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder. Brice Sensabaugh, Kevin Love and Cody Williams are candidates for increased minutes with Filipowski on the inactive list.

Questionable for Tuesday Filipowski is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers due to a sprained right wrist, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact We'll have a better idea on Filipowski's status for Tuesday's game based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, that would open up some minutes for Brice Sensabaugh. Check back closer to Tuesday's tip for official word on Filipowski's status.

Quiet in 26 minutes Filipowski had seven points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Monday's 120-113 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) missed the front end of the back-to-back set, but he remains day-to-day. Filipowski wasn't able to take advantage of the opportunity, and he's still looking to find the form he had as a rookie. Through the opening 10 games, Filipowski is shooting 36.9 percent from the field for 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 19.9 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to 16 minutes Filipowski racked up four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Taylor Hendricks replaced Filipowski in the first unit and responded with a strong 14-point outing in 25 minutes. Filipowski is shooting 36.8 percent from the field to open the campaign, so it's not a surprise to see the Jazz go in a different direction, at least in the short term.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production as starter Filipowski contributed nine points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one block across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 129-108 win over the Clippers.

Impact With Ace Bailey (knee/illness) not at 100 percent, plus Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Georges Niang (foot) sidelined, Filipowski drew a start on Opening Night. Filipowski was surrounded by Keyonte George, Svi Mykhailiuk, Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler. While Filipowski struggled from deep, he played 25 minutes and appears to be a key part of the early-season rotation after a strong finish to the 2024-25 campaign.

Starting Thursday Filipowski is in the starting lineup for Thursday's exhibition against Portland.

Impact Filipowski will be joined in the first unit by Svi Mykhailiuk, Keyonte George, Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler. While Filipowski will draw a start in Thursday's exhibition, he's expected to come off the bench in Utah this season, so he's not a great target in standard formats.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Monday Filipowski (back) will play during Monday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Filipowski will make his preseason debut after missing time with a back injury. The Duke product averaged 14.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 29.6 minutes during Utah's final 11 regular-season games last year, but he's looking at a limited role come Opening Night, especially if Utah is close to full strength.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goes through practice Filipowski (back) was a full participant at Sunday's practice, according to KSL Sports.

Impact Filipowski has been sidelined since the end of September with a nagging back issue, but it sounds like he's closing in on a return. The second-year forward could make his preseason debut Monday against Dallas.

OCTOBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Friday Filipowski (back) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Filipowski missed Wednesday's preseason opener due to lower back injury management, and the team isn't overly eager to get him on the court just yet. His next opportunity for preseason action will arrive Monday against Dallas.

OCTOBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Wednesday Filipowski (back) won't play in Wednesday's preseason opener against the Rockets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact The Jazz will hold out Filipowski due to lower back injury management, which doesn't sound like a significant ailment. His next opportunity to suit up arrives Friday against the Spurs. Taylor Hendricks, Cody Williams and Brice Sensabaugh will all be candidates to take on an expanded role in the frontcourt Wednesday.

OCTOBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for Monday's scrimmage Filipowski (back) didn't participate in Monday's scrimmage, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact The severity of the back issue is unclear, though Filipowski has been limited in training camp thus far. Additionally, he was unable to go through warmups Monday, which bodes poorly for his status ahead of Wednesday's preseason opener against the Rockets. The second-year big man appeared in 72 regular-season games (27 starts) in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds across 21.1 minutes per game.

OCTOBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with back issue Filipowski (back) was unable to participate in Tuesday's practice.

Impact Filipowski was shut down for the end of the Las Vegas Summer League for maintenance purposes back in July, and the severity of his current injury isn't clear. The Jazz don't open their preseason until next Wednesday, so the 2024 second-rounder has some time to return to practice. If Filipowski is limited at all to begin the upcoming campaign, Taylor Hendricks, Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk will have more opportunities as reserves.

Shut down for rest of Summer League Filipowski has been shut down for the remainder of the Las Vegas Summer League due to rest purposes, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Wednesday.

Impact Filipowski dominated during the Las Vegas Summer League, including a 35-point, 11-rebound double-double during an overtime loss to the Spurs on Monday. The 2024 second-round pick had a solid rookie season, averaging 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds on 50.2 percent shooting in 21.1 minutes across 72 regular-season games (27 starts). Filipowski could see a larger role in Year 2 after the departure of John Collins, but Utah also added Jusuf Nurkic and Kevin Love to their frontcourt depth this offseason.

Monster 35-point SL performance Filipowski tallied 35 points (11-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes in Monday's 93-91 Summer League overtime loss to the Spurs.

Impact Filipowski dominated on the court Monday, pouring in 35 points and recording a double-double in a tough buzzer-beater loss. He's putting together an impressive Summer League showing after a solid rookie campaign in 2024-25, when he appeared in 72 regular-season games (27 starts) and averaged 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds on 50.2 percent shooting in 21.1 minutes per contest.

JULY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 21 in SL loss Filipowski logged 21 points (9-21 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and a block in 24 minutes during Sunday's 103-93 Summer League loss to the Warriors.

Impact Filipowski has been dominant to kick off Summer League in Las Vegas, recording 32 points (12-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, five assists and a block in his first outing and following that up with a 21-6-1-1 line Sunday. Filipowski had a solid rookie season, averaging 9.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 21.1 minutes per game, and he will look to take a step forward in his second year with the team searching for an identity after a busy offseason.
