Utah
Jazz, Kings Injury Report Lists Several Players Out
The Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings are on tap for their final meeting of the 2025-26 season, and both will have several names sidelined for the contest due to injury.
Here’s what to expect on the injury front for both the Jazz and Kings on Sunday:
Utah Jazz Injury Report
– OUT: G John Konchar (calf)
– OUT: F Kyle Filipowski (rest)
– OUT: G Ace Bailey (concussion)
– OUT: G Keyonte George (hamstring)
– OUT: F Lauri Markkanen (hip)
– OUT: C Jusuf Nurkic (nose)
– OUT: F Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee)
– OUT: C Walker Kessler (shoulder)
In all, it’s eight names ruled out for the Jazz, including all five of their projected starters headed into next season. It’ll be the first time this year all five of next season’s starters will all be inactive in a signel game.
Their latest injury was suffered by Ace Bailey in the midst of their Friday game against the Portland Trail Blazers when the Jazz rookie left in the first quarter due to a concussion.
Now as he sits in the league’s concussion protocol, it’ll likely take him out for a few games, including this one against Sacramento. He joins Keyonte George on the sidelines, who’s set to be re-evaluated in two weeks after suffering a hamstring strain, and Lauri Markkanen and his injured hip.
Utah’s wings will also be even more depleted without John Konchar, the Jazz’s veteran trade deadline acquisition who’s been a frequent piece of their rotation in the past month. He will now miss a third consecutive game with a calf injury with no sign of when he may return.
Kyle Filipowski, one of the Jazz’s routinely available starts throughout the year, will also be out of the mix due to rest. He’s missed only one other game so far this season, coming all the way back in November. He’ll now sit out against the Kings for a matchup that holds some heavy draft lottery implications.
Without all five of their regular starters, and a few of his bench pieces, it’ll leave Will Hardy to make a handful of lineup adjustments before tip-off.
Isaiah Collier is likely to slot in as their starting point guard, with Brice Sensabaugh alongside him in the backcourt. Cody Williams also feels like an easy name to slot into Utah’s starting frontcourt, but outside of those three, you can expect to see some surprise names to begin the night in Sacramento.
Sacramento Kings Injury Report
– OUT: C Drew Eubanks (thumb)
– OUT: G Devin Carter (calf)
– OUT: G Malik Monk (ankle)
– OUT: G Isaiah Stevens (thigh)
– OUT: F Keegan Murray (ankle)
– OUT: F DeAndre Hunter (eye)
– OUT: C Domantas Sabonis (knee)
– OUT: G Zach LaVine (hand)
The Kings certainly aren’t without their big injuries as well, as nearly all of their starting five for this season will be out for some injury or surgery, outside of DeMar DeRozan, who’s without any designation.
Former Jazz big man from last year’s roster, Drew Eubanks, will also be out of the mix due to a thumb injury.
Tip-off between the Jazz and Kings lands at 8 p.m. MT in Golden One Center, as Sacramento will have a rare opportunity to win four of their past five games, and thus push Utah one step closer to jumping further into this year’s draft lottery.
SALT LAKE CITY — The “Flame of Hope” made its way to the Utah State Capitol Wednesday morning as Special Olympics athletes and law enforcement came together for the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run.
The event is part of a 45-year tradition that raises awareness and support for Special Olympics athletes while strengthening the partnership between law enforcement and the community.
Paralympians ski in shorts and T-shirts, and some ask: Shouldn’t these Games be earlier?
“Law enforcement across the country teams up with Special Olympics chapters throughout the country and we do a torch run which is a fundraiser,” said Bill Newell, Law Enforcement Torch Run Council Chairman.
Organizers say the goal goes beyond fundraising — it’s about visibility and recognition for athletes across Utah.
“We want them to be recognized. We want the community to see these athletes and what tremendous people they are and what great contributions they make,” Newell said.
For athletes, the Torch Run is also a chance to be seen and celebrated for their accomplishments.
“I would like to thank the First Lady, Commissioner Mason, Chief Reed, Special Olympics Utah and everyone who joined us today. Thank you for being here. Because of you, athletes like me are seen, heard and celebrated,” said Special Olympics athlete Josh Roberts.
The Torch Run will continue across Utah throughout the month, leading up to the Special Olympics Utah Summer Games in Cedar City on May 28.
“Join us in Cedar City for the Special Olympics Utah Summer Games. Come cheer, come celebrate and be a part of something very special. It’ll be the best thing you’ll do all summer,” Roberts said.
Law enforcement agencies across the state will continue participating alongside Special Olympics athletes as the Torch Run moves from community to community ahead of the final leg in Cedar City.
