Hurt in the first half of a 125-105 Jazz loss at Houston, in just his sixth game with Utah after a Feb. 3 trade from Memphis. He was knocked off balance in a collision with the Rockets' Tari Eason and his knee bent awkwardly. An MRI the next day confirmed a torn left ACL (reported by Shams Charania), ending his 2025-26 season. The Jazz waived him on March 9, so the team shown is his last team.
