Kyle Filipowski News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

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.

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.

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.

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.

Filipowski averaged 16.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 30.1 minutes across his last 18 games as a starter during the regular season.
