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.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Fills stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Filipowski amassed 14 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Bucks.
Filipowski recorded a second consecutive double-double after his 20-point, 14-rebound effort against the Wizards on Thursday. The big man has been outstanding since returning to the starting lineup and has scored in double digits in all but one of his previous nine starts, averaging 14.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per game over that stretch.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Posts another double-double
Rotowire
Filipowski produced 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 win over Washington.
Filipowski has started every game for the Jazz since the All-Star break, and while the numerous absences in the frontcourt have led to this role, the former Duke standout has been leaving a mark with his play on both ends of the court. This was Filipowski's first double-double since the All-Star break, but it was also the sixth time in which he scored in double digits in seven outings. It was also his third straight contest with at least eight boards. Expect Filipowski to remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Scores 20 points with four stocks
Rotowire
Filipowski posted 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 123-114 loss to Memphis.
Filipowski was hot from the jump, dropping in 12 points on six shots in his first eight minutes of play. Additionally, he missed only one shot through the first half. With Jaren Jackson (knee) done for the year and Jusuf Nurkic (nose) constantly getting hit with random rest days, Filipowski looks primed for a strong finish to the 2025-26 season.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Falls short of double-double
Rotowire
Filipowski finished Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and six steals in 30 minutes.
Getting his third start in seven February contests, Filipowski just missed recording his fourth double-double of the month while setting a new career high in steals. With the Jazz trying to balance tanking for the top of the lottery against the league's load management rules, the second-year big man is likely to continue seeing his court time and role fluctuate wildly on the other side of the All-Star break. In those three February starts, Filipowski is averaging 15.3 points, 14.0 boards, 3.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.3 threes in 31.3 minutes.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Hauls in season-high 17 boards
Rotowire
Filipowski logged 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 17 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Hawks.
The 17 rebounds were a season high for Filipowski, who submitted his sixth double-double of the year. Jusuf Nurkic ended up staying put with the Jazz following Thursday's trade deadline, but the veteran big man didn't appear against Atlanta and carries an uncertain future in Utah. Filipowski, on the other hand, is flourishing in the first unit in the meantime, averaging 14.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.9 minutes per contest in his last 13 games as a starter.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Filipowski supplied 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 131-122 win over the Pacers.
The second-year center got the starting nod in place of Jusuf Nurkic, who was available to suit up but ultimately received a day off after initially being ruled out due to rest purposes. Filipowski grabbed a game- and season-high 16 rebounds, securing his fifth double-double on the campaign. The Jazz traded for Jaren Jackson on Tuesday, which will likely affect Filipowski's playing time if the club holds onto Nurkic past the trade deadline. However, Utah still owns a top-eight protected pick in the 2026 Draft and may continue resting key players as the season progresses, keeping Filipowski in the mix as a viable streaming option.

Filipowski is starting Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Corrals 10 boards off bench
Rotowire
Filipowski had eight points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 loss to the Clippers.
With Jusuf Nurkic out sick Tuesday, the Jazz ended up dividing the center minutes evenly between Kevin Love and Filipowski. Over his last five appearances, Filipowski has averaged 9.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.3 minutes per game. His role could diminish if Nurkic returns to the floor Wednesday against the Warriors.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Woeful in loss
Rotowire
Filipowski had two points (1-6 FG) and five rebounds in four minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 overtime loss to the Thunder.
Filipowski was terrible Wednesday, logging a season-low four minutes. Seen as a likely silly-season winner, Filipowski's numbers over the past month have been far from ideal. In 13 appearances during that time, he has averaged 8.7 points and 5.5 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per contest, leaving him well outside the top-250 players in standard formats.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Back in starting lineup
Rotowire
Filipowski is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Clippers on Thursday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Filipowski has come off the bench in each of the Jazz's last three games, but the second-year big man will draw the start Thursday due to the absence of Jusuf Nurkic (toe). Filipowski has started 11 regular-season games thus far, and as a starter he is averaging 11.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 threes over 25.8 minutes per game.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Season-low 13 minutes
Rotowire
Filipowski ended Monday's 135-112 loss to the Nuggets with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes.
Filipowski's role went from bad to worse Monday, logging a season-low 13 minutes, including just three minutes in the first half. Over his last three games, Filiowski is averaging just 5.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per contest, well below what fantasy managers are hoping for. There is still reason to believe his role will escalate at some point, although knowing when is proving difficult. At this stage, he should be viewed as more of a stash than a must-roster player.

Filipowski isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Filipowski will return to a bench role following the return of Lauri Markkanen from a groin injury. Filipowski has scored in double figures in three of his last four appearances off the bench but was most recently held to two points in his last showing as a reserve Dec. 12 against Memphis.

Filipowski accumulated 25 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 38 minutes during Monday's 140-133 overtime win over the Mavericks.
Making his third start in the last five games, Filipowski set a new season high in scoring while just missing his second double-double of 2025-26. The second-year center has seen his court time increase over the last couple of weeks as the Jazz make an effort not to overwork Jusuf Nurkic. Over the last seven games, Filipowski has averaged 13.9 points, 7.7 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.0 steals in 30.6 minutes while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor.

Making just his second start since the beginning of November, Filipowski recorded his first double-double of the season while setting new season highs in points and steals. Lauri Markkanen (illness) isn't likely to be sidelined for long, but Filipowski has been making an impact over the last few weeks regardless of his role, averaging 12.3 points, 7.4 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.1 threes and 0.9 steals over the last nine games in 26.7 minutes a contest.
