Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (2) drives to the basket past Orlando Magic guard Joe Ingles (7) during an NBA basketball game between the Utah Jazz and the Orlando Magic at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City on Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023.

The Utah Jazz made some minor moves this offseason, adding Drew Eubanks, Potato mills And Svi Mykhailiuk to the list.

So where are the players who previously held those positions with the Jazz? Where will they play in the 2024-25 season? And are other former Jazz players moving around the league?

Joe Ingles

Since leaving the Jazz, Joe Ingles has played for the Milwaukee Bucks and the Orlando Magic. Next season, however, he will reunite with former Jazzman Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert In Minnesota.

Ingles has signed a one-year contract with the The Timberwolves this summer and will have plenty of familiarity as he joins a number of former teammates. Ingles said the Timberwolves tried to sign him last yearbut he ultimately chose to play with the Magic. This year, he felt the situation was such that he couldn’t let it pass him by.

Ingles will be 37 when the 2024-25 NBA season begins.

Bojan Bogdanovic

Jazz traded Bojan Bogdanovic to Detroit Pistons in 2022. He played a season and a half with the Pistons before being traded at the 2024 trade deadline to the The New York Knicks.

Bogdanovic started this offseason with two surgeries (foot and wrist) and then was part of another trade. He was traded to the Brooklyn Nets as part of the agreement that sent Mikal Bridges to the Knicks.

Although Bogdanovic is expected to be recovered from his offseason surgeries and ready to play next season, the rebuilding Nets should look to re-deal with Bogdonovic.

Malik Beasley

Malik Beasley came to the Jazz as part of the Gobert trade with the Timberwolves in 2022. The Jazz traded him to the Lakers A few months later, Beasley played with the Milwaukee Bucks last season.

In July, Beasley signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Pistons, where he will play with former Jazzman Simone Fontecchio.

Trent Forest

Guard Trent Forrest played two years with the Jazz on two-way contracts before his contract was converted to a standard contract so he could play through the end of the 2021-22 season and the playoffs.

He then reunited with coach Quin Snyder and joined the Atlanta Hawks, but after once again having a two-way contract converted to a standard contract (this time with the Hawks) last season, it appears his NBA days are over.

Forrest has has reached an agreement with the Spanish team Baskonia which will keep him in Spain until 2026.

Kris Dunn

After nearly losing his NBA career, Kris Dunn revived his game with a meteoric rise in the G League in 2022 before signing a 10-day contract with the Utah Jazz in late February 2023. He then signed a second 10-day contract with the Jazz before ultimately signing a standard contract for the remainder of the 2022-23 season with partial guarantees for future seasons.

Dunn remained on the Jazz roster through the 2023-24 season, during which he proved he was still a defensive juggernaut and had greatly improved his offensive game. That display of growth led the Los Angeles Clippers to reach out to Dunn when free agency opened this summer. Eventually The Clippers brought Dunn aboard via a trade deal agreement. Dunn is expected to take over the minutes and role that Russell Westbrook had for the Clippers last year.

Talen Horton-Tucker

It was common knowledge that Talen Horton-Tucker would not be re-signed when his contract with the Jazz expired. So when his current deal expired at the end of the 2023-24 season, his time in Utah would end as well.

While the Jazz had high hopes for the young guard, he hasn’t shown as much growth during his time with the team as they would have liked. But the Chicago native will have a chance to make his hometown roster for the 2024-25 season.

Last week, Horton-Tucker agreed to partially guaranteed deal This will place him on the Chicago Bulls roster during training camp, with a chance to earn a roster spot for the season.

Kenneth Lofton Jr.

THT won’t be the only one competing for a roster spot during Bulls training camp.

Kennth Lofton Jr., who spent just five months with the Jazz (from March through this year’s summer league), was released by the Jazz in late July. But the Bulls will give the 22-year-old a chance to prove himself before the start of the 2024-25 season.

Omer Yurtseven

The Jazz have released Ömer Yurtseven after he spent the 2023-24 season with the team and it appears the 26-year-old is now headed to the Euroleague champions.

After some mild interest from the New York Knicks, Yurtseven decided to take his talents to Athens and play with Greek powerhouse Panathinaikos BC.

Luka Samanic

A successful 10-day contract with the Jazz in 2023 earned Luka Samanic an extended year with the Utah Jazz, but he was never really able to crack the Jazz rotation.

Although his NBA prospects were not very good at the end of the 2023-24 season, he attracted strong interest from several European teams. Ultimately, Samanic chose Fenerbahce, a Turkish team highly regarded in the Euroleague.

Darius Bazley

Like Lofton, Darius Bazley had only been with the Jazz since March and was released by the Jazz after the conclusion of the Las Vegas Summer League. Since then, he joined the CBA (China) to play in Guangdong.

Kira Lewis Jr.

As part of the deal that sent Ochai Agbaji and Kelly Olynyk to the Toronto Raptors, Kira Lewis Jr. joined the Jazz, but wasn’t really part of the rotation for the rest of last season and didn’t figure into the Jazz’s future plans.

According to reportsLewis signed an Exhibit-10 contract (training camp contract) with the Washington Wizards.
