Oscar Tshiebwe News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Depth role continues Tshiebwe closed Saturday's 115-105 loss to New Orleans with zero points (0-1 FG) and three rebounds in nine minutes.

Impact Tshiebwe remained in the rotation Saturday and has now seen the court in four of Utah's past five games. However, three of those appearances have yielded no more than 10 minutes, an indication that he is still somewhat buried on the depth chart. His ability to rebound the basketball should at least have him on the radar as a potential streaming option, should his role increase as we near the end of the season.

Grabs six boards in backup role Tshiebwe (concussion) tallied two points (1-2 FG) and six rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench in Friday's 123-114 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Tshiebwe exited the Jazz's final game before the All-Star break Feb. 12 against the Trail Blazers and landed in the concussion protocol, but he passed all testing and was cleared in advance of the team's first contest of the second half Friday. Though the two-way player has seen scarce action at the NBA level this season, he ended up serving as the primary backup to starting center Kyle Filipowski while the Jazz were without Lauri Markkanen (illness) and Jusuf Nurkic (nose) in the frontcourt. If Utah gets one of those two big men back for its next game Monday in Houston, Tshiebwe could fall back out of the rotation.

Available Friday Tshiebwe (concussion) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Tshiebwe will shed his questionable tag and suit up Friday after being placed in the league's concussion protocol during Utah's Feb. 12 loss to Portland. The two-way player isn't guaranteed to see significant burn but could enter the rotation with Lauri Markkanen (illness) doubtful and Jusuf Nurkic (nose) joining Jaren Jackson (knee) on the sidelines.

Questionable to face Memphis Tshiebwe (concussion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Tshiebwe was put in the league's concussion protocol during last Thursday's loss to Portland but could return immediately after the All-Star break. Even if he's cleared to play, the two-way player isn't guaranteed to see significant burn.

Won't return Thursday Tshiebwe won't return to Thursday's game against Portland after being placed in concussion protocol.

Impact Tshiebwe went to the locker room during the first half to receive stitches, and the team will shut him down for the evening after reporting that he's entered the league's concussion protocol. He'll have over a week to recover, as the Jazz won't take the court again until after the All-Star break.

Suffers laceration above eye Tshiebwe suffered a laceration that required stitches above his eye and is questionable to return to Thursday's game against Portland.

Impact Tshiebwe went to the locker room during the first half, and the team has since reported that he's receiving stitches. John Konchar and Blake Hinson could pick up a few extra minutes in the second half if Tshiebew is unable to return.

Impact Tshiebwe finished the season with the parent club after spending most of the season with the Salt Lake City Stars.

He joins Micah Potter as a promising frontcourt addition waiting to make a bigger impact next season.

Returning to bench Monday Tshiebwe is not in Utah's starting lineup against Charlotte on Monday, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Double-digit boards in first start Tshiebwe accumulated seven points (2-5 FG, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 129-93 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Making his first career NBA start, Tshiebwe pulled down double-digit boards for the fourth time in six March appearances. The second-year center has bounced between the Jazz and the G League Salt Lake City Stars all month, but he's been useful for Utah when given the opportunity, averaging 6.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in 17.8 minutes during those six contests while shooting 55.2 percent from the floor.

MARCH 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Getting first NBA start Friday Tshiebwe is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Nuggets on Friday.

Impact With both Walker Kessler (illness) and Lauri Markkanen (rest) out, Tshiebwe will make the first start of his NBA career Friday. Tshiebwe has appeared in two of Utah's last five games but has spent most of the season in the G League with the Salt Lake City Stars, where he has averaged 17.1 points on 59.4 percent shooting, 19.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over 32.4 minutes per game.

Rejoins parent club The Jazz recalled Tshiebwe from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Tuesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact After registering 22 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in Sunday's 110-108 G league loss to the Austin Spurs, Tshiebwe will provide the Jazz with frontcourt depth for Tuesday's game against Memphis in the absences of Lauri Markkanen (illness) and John Collins (ankle). Tshiebwe has averaged 5.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 14.8 minutes over eight games with Utah this season.

MARCH 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out for Friday Tshiebwe is out for Friday's game against the Celtics due to an undisclosed injury, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Tshiebwe pulled down 10 rebounds and added four points over 18 minutes during Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards, but he evidently picked up an injury at some point along the way. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Sunday against the Cavs.

MARCH 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Sunday Tshiebwe (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Tshiebwe was a late scratch Sunday due to the illness, and his next chance to play will come Monday against Boston. The big man has dominated in the G League, which has earned him playing time with the parent club recently. Over three outings with the Jazz in March, Tshiebwe has averaged 7.7 points and 9.7 rebounds across 15.0 minutes per contest.

MARCH 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cracks rotation, posts double-double Tshiebwe totaled 16 points (8-9 FG), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 128-121 loss to New Orleans.

Impact With the Jazz holding out John Collins (back), Walker Kessler (rest) and Lauri Markkanen (back) on Sunday, the Jazz had room in the rotation for Tshiebwe. Making just his fifth appearance at the NBA level all season, Tshiebwe responded by recording career highs in both points and rebounds. The two-way player could be in store for some more opportunities down the stretch for the Jazz if the organization elects to shut Kessler, Collins and Markkanen down for good at some point in late March or early April.

Recalled from G League The Jazz are recalling Tshiebwe from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact With Lauri Markkanen out with a back injury, Utah has called up Tshiebwe for some frontcourt depth ahead of Wednesday's game against the Warriors. The 25-year-old big man has played 15.3 minutes per game over three appearances with the Jazz this season, so it's possible he plays a role off the bench against Golden State.
