Jusuf Nurkic - Dealing with foot injury Nurkic didn't participate in Monday's practice due to a right foot injury, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Nurkic logged 11 minutes in Sunday's preseason-opening win over Denver, posting four points (1-5 FG, 2-2 FT, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. The big man can be considered questionable for Tuesday's preseason rematch against Denver until the Jazz offer an update on his status.

Kyle Filipowski - Ruled out for Tuesday Filipowski (back) won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact This will be Filipowski's second straight preseason game on the inactive list, so hopefully this isn't something that lingers into the regular season. His next chance to suit up will come next Monday against the Spurs.

Taylor Funk - Signs with Jazz Funk signed a deal with the Jazz on Monday.
Impact Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but this is likely an Exhibit 10 deal with the Jazz looking to secure his G League rights. Look for him to suit up for Salt Lake City in 2026-27.

Svi Mykhailiuk - Hits three triples Mykhailiuk recorded nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three assists and no turnovers in 15 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 109-97 preseason win over Denver.
Impact All nine of Mykhailiuk's field-goal attempts came from beyond the arc, and he knocked down three triples as Utah consistently generated open looks through ball movement. The veteran wing remains primarily a floor-spacing option in a crowded Jazz rotation.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Ace Bailey - Scores 10 off bench Bailey finished with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one steal and one block in 20 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 preseason win over Denver.
Impact Bailey came off the bench behind rookie Darryn Peterson but entered the starting lineup for the second half and finished with a plus-11 rating. The second-year wing should remain firmly in Utah's rotation, and he could see heavy usage with the second unit.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Blake Hinson - Strong showing from deep Hinson recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 109-97 preseason win over Denver.
Impact Hinson made a strong impression in Utah's preseason opener, with four of his six rebounds coming on the offensive glass in addition to his efficient perimeter shooting. The 26-year-old averaged 11.9 points and 2.6 three-pointers in just 20.4 minutes across 14 regular-season appearances last year, and performances like Sunday's could help him carve out a larger role in 2026-27.

Jusuf Nurkic - Limited minutes despite starting Nurkic totaled four points (1-5 FG, 2-2 FT, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 11 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Impact Nurkic was given the starting nod Sunday, and yet played fewer minutes than newly acquired Jaxson Hayes, who ended with 19 minutes off the bench. All signs point to Nurkic being the starting center come opening night, putting him on the radar as a potential top-100 candidate. Although his role may not be reflective of what might be considered a typical starting role, his ability to put up numbers across the board should lend itself to multiple builds. Considering him as a third center in standard leagues feels relatively safe.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Darryn Peterson - Team-high 22 minutes in win Peterson accumulated three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 FT, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 preseason victory over Denver.
Impact Petersen made his NBA debut, sliding straight into the starting lineup, as expected. Although he struggled with his efficiency, the fact that he played a team-high 22 minutes is an encouraging sign. He should open the regular season as a key piece in the rotation, putting him firmly on the fantasy radar. As a rookie point guard, managers should expect some ups and downs when it comes to his shooting splits. However, his role alone should lend itself to plenty of opportunities, making him a viable target in the 100 range.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Lauri Markkanen - Drops 17 points in preseason win Markkanen finished with 17 points (5-12 FG, 4-4 FT, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's preseason win over the Nuggets.
Impact Markkanen hit the ground running, fresh off an impressive performance in the recent World Cup qualifier. Despite another strong campaign during the 2025-26 season, Markkanen's overall fantasy value continues to be somewhat underrated, largely due to the fact that he has missed multiple games due to both injury and rest. However, with Utah likely to prioritize winning this season, Markkanen is poised for what could be his best season in recent memory, at least from a totals perspective. Landing him in the third or fourth round of drafts feels like a relatively risk-free move.

Biggest Winners and Losers From Nuggets Preseason Opener vs. Jazz The Denver Nuggets lost their preseason opener to the Utah Jazz, but who stood out?
OCTOBER 5 • SI.COM
Keyonte George - Nets 15 points on eight shots in win George produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 21 minutes in Sunday's 109-97 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Impact George briefly exited the game after getting whacked in the face, but he returned a short while later and didn't seem any worse for the wear. George will look to take another step forward in Year 4 after breaking out with averages of 23.6 points, 6.1 assists, 2.5 triples and 1.1 steals per game last season.
OCTOBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Alexander - Not listed on injury report Alexander (ribs) is not listed on the injury report for Sunday's preseason opener in Denver, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Alexander hurt his ribs at Summer League, but he's since recovered and will be available for Sunday's game. It's unclear if he'll be involved in the rotation, though.

Jazz Preseason Injury Report Rules Out 3 Players vs. Nuggets The Utah Jazz won't exactly be at 100% in preseason game one against the Denver Nuggets.
OCTOBER 4 • SI.COM
Josh Green - Won't play in preseason opener Green (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact The severity of the left knee issue is unknown, though Green will sit out Utah's preseason opener. His next chance to play in the preseason will come in Tuesday's rematch against Denver.
OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Brice Sensabaugh - Ruled out for Sunday Sensabaugh won't play in Sunday's preseason opener against the Nuggets due to a left hip injury, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Sensabaugh's absence from Sunday's exhibition seems largely precautionary. His next chance to play will come Tuesday in a rematch with the Nuggets.
OCTOBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Filipowski - Won't play Sunday Filipowski is out for Sunday's preseason opener against the Nuggets due to a lower back issue, Shreyas Laddha of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Filipowski is dealing with a tight lower back, so he'll sit out Sunday's exhibition. His next chance to play will come in a rematch with the Nuggets on Tuesday.
