| Rob Gray SACRAMENTO — The Utah Jazz have just 14 games left to play in the 2025-26 regular season. Since the Jazz won’t be going to the playoffs and they aren’t trying to win games, it can be a little hard to know what to root for, so I’m here to help. Root for the young guys You can still root for small accomplishments and development for the players on the Jazz roster.

The hope is that Ace Bailey’s concussion symptoms don’t last too long and that he’ll be able to play again. Root for some big nights from him, the chance for more plays to be called for him and for him to take on a bigger role in the final days of the season. The same can be said for Cody Williams, who has shown some signs of improvement recently.

The Jazz would be overjoyed if he gained even more confidence and opened up his game more as the team heads into the offseason. Even if there isn’t enough development or promise to make you confident in a player being a part of the Jazz’s future, a good showing throughout the rest of the season could make a player a more valuable asset to be used in an offseason trade. So, good performances are always a welcomed sight.
