Ruled out for Monday Hendricks (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with Minnesota.

Impact Hendricks is dealing with a sore right hamstring, and with the Jazz playing the first game of a back-to-back set, the medical staff will err on the side of caution and hold him out of this one. Hendricks' minutes will likely be divvied up amongst Kevin Love and Brice Sensabaugh.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Monday Hendricks (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Hendricks was a late addition to the injury report. The injury is being described as soreness as opposed to a strain, suggesting that he's day-to-day. Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so a maintenance day could be on the table here.

NOVEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Bench role Friday Hendricks will come off the bench during Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact After starting the last three games, Hendricks will be in the second unit with Isaiah Collier getting the nod in the starting lineup. Hendricks is currently averaging 4.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, shooting 38.2 percent from the floor and 28.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Bottoms out in victory Hendricks contributed two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Monday's 105-103 win over the Celtics.

Impact Coming off arguably his best performance of the season, Hendricks remained in the starting lineup but was unable to repeat his heroics from the previous game. It's been a disappointing season thus far for Hendricks, averaging just 5.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in 16.1 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Shines in start Hendricks recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Hendricks replaced Kyle Filipowski in the starting lineup Sunday and put together his best game of the campaign with multiple season-high marks. The Jazz are in need of a spark with three straight losses, and Hendricks made a strong case Sunday to remain heavily involved in the rotation. He's trending up as a potential waiver-wire add.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Team option exercised The Jazz exercised Hendricks' fourth-year team option Thursday.

Impact Hendricks is now set to stay with the Jazz for the 2026-27 campaign. The forward is a significant part of the team's future, though he's not yet eclipsed 19 minutes over his first four games this year.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goes scoreless in victory Hendricks chipped in zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 138-134 overtime victory over the Suns.

Impact Hendricks was a no-show in the win, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to the season. He has now scored a total of just 15 points across three games, adding three combined steals and blocks. Seen as a viable late-round flyer in many leagues, Hendricks has been largely disappointing. Managers are well within their rights to part ways with him, given the apparent lack of playing time.
