SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 12, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — The summer league schedule is over for Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George and center Walker Kessler.
Both players saw action in two of the three games at this week’s Salt Lake City Summer League but were left off the roster as the Jazz head to Las Vegas for the NBA 2K25 Summer League, which got underway Friday.
The roster is otherwise unchanged as Utah prepares to take on the Dallas Mavericks at 8:30 p.m. Saturday at UNLV’s Cox Pavilion. The game will be televised by NBA TV.
George, the No. 16 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, was dominant in his two games at the Delta Center, averaging 30.5 points, 4.5 assists and three rebounds per game.
Kessler, the No. 22 overall pick in 2022, averaged seven points, 10.5 rebounds and three blocks per game in the two games.
The Jazz’s 2024 NBA Draft picks — Cody Williams (No. 10), Isaiah Collier (No. 29) and Kyle Filipowski (No. 32) — are among the 14 players on Utah’s roster in Las Vegas. They’re joined by 2023 NBA Draft picks Taylor Hendricks (No. 9) and Brice Sensabaugh (No. 28).
Assistant coach Sean Sheldon remains head coach of the Jazz in Las Vegas after posting a 2-1 record in Salt Lake City Summer League.
Utah will play at least five games at the NBA 2K25 Summer League, which features all 30 teams and runs through July 22 when a champion will be crowned. Games will be played at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion.
