Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Leads Utah in preseason opener
Juzang notched 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt), a rebound and two assists across 19 minutes off the bench in Friday's 116-87 preseason win over the Breakers.
The bench players received significant run in the preseason opener, and Juzang made the most of his opportunity, leading Utah in scoring and showing he might belong at the NBA level despite playing on a two-way deal. A couple more strong showings in preseason could allow Juzang to compete for a regular-season roster spot.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Remaining in Utah
The Jazz signed Juzang to a four-year, $12 million contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Juzang spent the last two seasons with the Jazz on two-way contracts, splitting time between the G League and NBA clubs. In 2023-24, he averaged 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.6 minutes across 20 NBA regular-season appearances for the Jazz. With Juzang signing his new contract, it appears that Utah sees him as a long-term piece for the franchise.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Jazz extend qualifying offer
The Jazz extended a qualifying offer to Juzang on Saturday, making him a restricted free agent, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Juzang's role grew with the Jazz toward the end of the 2023-24 campaign, so it's not a surprise to see that Utah is interested in keeping the score-first guard around. Juzang spent a lot of time in the G League as well. In his 20 appearances with the Jazz, he produced averages of 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Starting against Denver
Juzang is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Utah Jazz's play-by-play commentator David Locke reports.
Juzang will move to the starting lineup due to the absence of Collin Sexton (illness). Juzang tallied 27 points, two rebounds, an assist and a steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Warriors. He's made just one start this season, where he posted eight points across 21 minutes in a loss to the Rockets on March 23.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Explodes for 27 points from bench
Juzang posted 27 points (9-12 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 loss to the Warriors.
Juzang has appeared in only 16 games for the Jazz this season, but he came out of nowhere with a career-high 27 points during the loss. The UCLA product has been a lethal long-range threat with the G League's Salt Lake City Stars, and he showed the same sharpshooting prowess Sunday with seven three-pointers. Juzang has likely earned himself additional playing time in the final week after this impressive performance.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Gets starting nod
Juzang will start at small forward in Saturday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.
Juzang will get the spot start due to Lauri Markkanen (rest) being sidelined. It marks the 23-year-old's first start of the season, so he could be in line for a healthier workload than usual.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Career-best scoring night
Juzang recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and three rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-122 victory over Atlanta.
The second-year wing shattered his prior career NBA scoring high of 11 with an impressive effort from long distance -- Juzang was just 2-for-14 on three-point attempts this season coming into the game. The absence of Lauri Markkanen (quadriceps) has created an opening in the Jazz rotation that Juzang has done his best to fill -- in three of the five games Markkanen has missed so far, Juzang has played at least 20 minutes.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Still sidelined
Juzang (quadriceps) didn't play in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to Utah.
Juzang continues to deal with a quadriceps injury he suffered during Summer League action. Given he didn't play at all during the preseason, his status for the regular season seems murky, at best. Even when he's healthy, the second-year wing will presumably spend most of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League.
