Juzang closed with 17 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes during Saturday's 129-103 loss to Denver.
Juzang took advantage of Jordan Clarkson's (heel) absence to operate as Utah's primary scoring weapon off the bench. This 17-point output was even more surprising since Juzang went scoreless in his first two appearances of the regular season. Juzang should continue to see minutes off the bench as long as the Jazz remain depleted. However, his fantasy upside is minimal, and he should only be considered a streaming alternative during specific slates.

Rotowire
The Jazz signed Juzang to a four-year, $12 million contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Juzang spent the last two seasons with the Jazz on two-way contracts, splitting time between the G League and NBA clubs.

Rotowire
The Jazz extended a qualifying offer to Juzang on Saturday, making him a restricted free agent, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Juzang's role grew with the Jazz toward the end of the 2023-24 campaign, so it's not a surprise to see that Utah is interested in keeping the score-first guard around. Juzang spent a lot of time in the G League as well. In his 20 appearances with the Jazz, he produced averages of 7.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

Jazz's Johnny Juzang: Still sidelined
Rotowire
Juzang (quadriceps) didn't play in Thursday's 116-113 preseason loss to Utah.
Juzang continues to deal with a quadriceps injury he suffered during Summer League action. Given he didn't play at all during the preseason, his status for the regular season seems murky, at best. Even when he's healthy, the second-year wing will presumably spend most of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League.

Rotowire
