The Jazz recalled Tshiebwe from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Tuesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
After registering 22 points, 23 rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks in Sunday's 110-108 G league loss to the Austin Spurs, Tshiebwe will provide the Jazz with frontcourt depth for Tuesday's game against Memphis in the absences of Lauri Markkanen (illness) and John Collins (ankle). Tshiebwe has averaged 5.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 14.8 minutes over eight games with Utah this season.

Tshiebwe is out for Friday's game against the Celtics due to an undisclosed injury, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Tshiebwe pulled down 10 rebounds and added four points over 18 minutes during Wednesday's matchup against the Wizards, but he evidently picked up an injury at some point along the way. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Sunday against the Cavs.

Jazz's Oscar Tshiebwe: Late scratch Sunday
Rotowire
Tshiebwe (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
Tshiebwe was a late scratch Sunday due to the illness, and his next chance to play will come Monday against Boston. The big man has dominated in the G League, which has earned him playing time with the parent club recently. Over three outings with the Jazz in March, Tshiebwe has averaged 7.7 points and 9.7 rebounds across 15.0 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Oscar Tshiebwe: Cracks rotation, posts double-double
Rotowire
Tshiebwe totaled 16 points (8-9 FG), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 128-121 loss to New Orleans.
With the Jazz holding out John Collins (back), Walker Kessler (rest) and Lauri Markkanen (back) on Sunday, the Jazz had room in the rotation for Tshiebwe. Making just his fifth appearance at the NBA level all season, Tshiebwe responded by recording career highs in both points and rebounds. The two-way player could be in store for some more opportunities down the stretch for the Jazz if the organization elects to shut Kessler, Collins and Markkanen down for good at some point in late March or early April.

Jazz's Oscar Tshiebwe: Recalled from G League
Rotowire
The Jazz are recalling Tshiebwe from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
With Lauri Markkanen out with a back injury, Utah has called up Tshiebwe for some frontcourt depth ahead of Wednesday's game against the Warriors. The 25-year-old big man has averaged 15.3 minutes per game over three appearances with the Jazz this season, so he may play a role off the bench against Golden State.
Jazz's Oscar Tshiebwe: Inks two-way pact with Utah
Rotowire
The Jazz signed Tshiebwe to a two-way deal Monday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
After waiving Taevion Kinsey on Monday, the Jazz utilized their last two-way spot to sign Tshiebwe. The 24-year-old spent the 2023-24 campaign on a two-way deal with the Pacers, and he averaged 16.2 points, 16.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks across 27.2 minutes in 23 regular-season games with the club's G League affiliate, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.
Tshiebwe will be available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Tshiebwe has been recalled from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants and will provide the Pacers with some extra depth at center while Myles Turner (illness) and Jalen Smith (back) are sidelined.

Pacers' Oscar Tshiebwe: Available Sunday
Rotowire
Tshiebwe is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
The two-way player is back from a stint in the G League with the Indiana Mad Ants on Sunday and will be active as a depth option at center with starter Myles Turner (back) unavailable. Jalen Smith will garner the starting nod in Turner's stead, while Isaiah Jackson is likely to serve as Smith's top backup. As a result, Tshiebwe is unlikely to be included in head coach Rick Carlisle's rotation.
Tshiebwe finished Wednesday's 140-126 loss to the Bucks with one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across six minutes.
Tshiebwe played six minutes Wednesday, making his professional debut. From a fantasy perspective, there is little to see here, as he would need several players ahead of him in the rotation to miss time to have any chance at playing a meaningful role.

Pacers' Oscar Tshiebwe: Getting call-up
Rotowire
The Pacers will recall Tshiebwe from the G League's Indiana Mad Ants ahead of Thursday's game in Miami, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Starreports.
Jalen Smith suffered a knee bruise Monday and will miss some time, so the Pacers will bring Tshiebwe -- one of their three two-way players -- up to provide additional depth at center. Tshiebwe has put up strong numbers in the G League (19.7 points, 18.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.4 minutes per game over six appearances), but he may not get an immediate look in the NBA rotation. Instead, Isaiah Jackson will likely be first in line to pick up Smith's minutes as the top backup to starting center Myles Turner.
