Utah Jazz wrap up their second consecutive losing season.
The Utah Jazz struggled this season, finishing 31-51.
The larger picture: Following six consecutive postseason appearances, the Jazz have now concluded the last two seasons with a losing record.
Between the lines: This was expected after the team went through a rebuild following the departure of former head coach Quin Snyder and the trade of two all-stars, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
Yes, but: Following a shocking 37-win season last year, there was hope that coach Will Hardy’s club may compete for at least the NBA Play-In Tournament in his second season.
Zoom in: Here are the five statistics that defined the Jazz’s 2023-24 season.
13: The Jazz’s longest losing streak this season. Utah was 29-37 before the wheels came off, and the squad hadn’t won a game in nearly a month.
Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen, two of the Jazz’s greatest players, have missed 27 games this season.
3: Remember the phone number and the name Keyonte George. The rookie showed a lot of potential this year, averaging roughly 13 points and 27 minutes per game.
120.5: Utah’s defence was among the league’s worst, allowing opponents to score more than 120 points per game.
In 2014, the Jazz concluded with more than 50 losses.
