Filipowski (back) will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Lakers.
Two consecutive absences will end Filipowski's second season in the NBA. He improved on most of his numbers from his rookie season and was especially potent down the stretch. After the All-Star break, he averaged 15.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.5 minutes.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Available versus Pelicans
Rotowire
Filipowski (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Filipowski was initially listed as questionable before being upgraded to probable. In two games against New Orleans this season, the 22-year-old has averaged 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 steals across 24.0 minutes of work. However, with the Jazz down several of their top scorers, Filipowski should receive more opportunities on the offensive end.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Probable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Filipowski (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Filipowski was previously listed as questionable, but it appears he will give it a go. With the Jazz thin up front, Filipowski may play a featured role. Over his past six appearances, Filipowski has averaged 22.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.5 minutes.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Filipowski is questionable for Tuesday's game against New Orlean due to lower-back injury management.
It looks like the Jazz are contemplating a maintenance day for Filipowski as the team rides out the final week of a losing season. Oscar Tshiebwe would likely draw the start at center if Filipowski winds up sitting out Tuesday, while Kevin Love could see some burn as the No. 2 big man in this scenario.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Double-doubles in blowout loss
Rotowire
Filipowski closed with 20 points (10-25 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 146-111 loss to the Thunder.
Filipowski didn't have his best shooting performance, but he had to deal with the size and defensive ability of the imposing Chet Holmgren-Isaiah Hartenstein frontcourt. Despite the subpar showing in terms of efficiency, Filipowski still reached the 20-point mark and delivered his third double-double across his last four appearances. Filipowski should be one of Utah's go-to options on offense in the final week of the regular season. He's averaging 17.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Big double-double against Denver
Rotowire
Filipowski recorded 25 points (9-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 130-117 loss to the Nuggets.
It was Filipowski's second straight double-double, and his 12th of the season, one short of the mark he set as a rookie in 2024-25. The second-round pick out of Duke has scored 20-plus points in four straight games, averaging 24.0 points, 9.8 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.3 steals during that surge while shooting 63.8 percent from the floor and 43.5 percent (10-for-23) from long distance.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Flirts with double-double in defeat
Rotowire
Filipowski notched 26 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 loss to the Suns.
Filipowski fell one rebound shy of a double-double and proved to be one of Utah's only bright spots in the crushing defeat. The Jazz are woefully short-handed, but Filipowski has been a consistent presence following Jusuf Nurkic's (nose) season-ending injury. The door is wide open for the second-year pro to post solid numbers despite the team's fortunes, and he has the inside track for the starting job at center next season.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Scores 25 in return
Rotowire
Filipowski amassed 25 points (11-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 25 minutes during Friday's 135-129 loss to the Nuggets.
Filipowski returned to the court after a one-game absence and delivered an impressive performance, finishing just two boards shy of a double-double and notching his first outing with 20-plus points since the All-Star break. This 25-point output matched his season-high mark, and the former Duke standout could be in line for a big role in the final weeks of the season due to the lack of frontcourt options available on Utah's roster. Filipowski is thus a player worth targeting by fantasy managers down the stretch of the regular season.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Sees 30 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Filipowski ended Monday's 143-127 loss to Toronto with six points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes.
Filipowski couldn't get his shot to fall, but his fantasy managers will be happy with the usage and workload. Over his last six games, he's averaging 11.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Only 23 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Filipowski ended Wednesday's 147-111 loss to the Timberwolves with seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes.
Filipowski logged fewer than 30 minutes for the fourth straight game, continuing to see his role trend downward ever so slightly. While he remains a clear must-roster player, fantasy managers would love to see him out there for upwards of 30 minutes per night. With that said, in seven games over the past two weeks, Filipowski has been a borderline second-round talent, averaging 14.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes per game.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Off injury report for Wednesday
Rotowire
Filipowski (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Filipowski sat out Sunday's loss to the Kings for rest purposes but is set to return to action Wednesday. The second-year center has started each of his last 12 appearances, averaging 14.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.9 combined steals-plus-blocks in 26.9 minutes per game during that span.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Filipowski (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Filipowski will miss his first game since Nov. 18 due to rest purposes, marking just his second time on the inactive list this season. With the second-year big man joining Jaren Jackson (knee) and Jusuf Nurkic (nose) on the sidelines, Oscar Tshiebwe and Kevin Love are candidates for increased minutes. Filipowski's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday in Minnesota.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Filipowski recorded 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 134-117 loss to the Knicks.
Filipowski finished just three rebounds away from recording what would've been his fourth consecutive double-double, and the former Duke standout has done a good job adjusting to life as a starter for the Jazz. Filipowski has started every game since the All-Star break and failed to score in double figures just once, averaging 15.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game over that 10-game stretch. He should remain in the starting role since the other center options have been ruled out for the season, including Walker Kessler (shoulder), Jusuf Nurkic (nose) and Jaren Jackson (knee).
Filipowski recorded 19 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 119-116 victory over the Warriors.
Filipowski turned in a masterful game in the upset. The second-year big is making the most of his opportunity in a frontcourt that lost Jusuf Nurkic (nose), Jaren Jackson (knee) and Walker Kessler (shoulder) for the season. With Lauri Markkanen (hip) out for another month, Filipowski's usage will continue to skyrocket if he stays healthy.
