Kessler (shoulder) was a full participant at Sunday's practice, according to KSL Sports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler has yet to play in the preseason due to left shoulder soreness, but it sounds like he could make his debut in Monday's exhibition against the Mavericks. Kessler's name has been in the rumor mill with the big man unlikely to come to an agreement on a contract extension with the Jazz, setting him up for restricted free agency next offseason.

Kessler (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler is dealing with left shoulder bursitis, which will cause him to miss Utah's preseason opener. His next chance to play comes Friday in San Antonio. Jusuf Nurkic will be a candidate to fill in at center Wednesday, while the Jazz could also opt to take an extended look at two-way player Oscar Tshiebwe.

Kessler (shoulder) didn't participate in Monday's scrimmage, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler is dealing with left shoulder soreness and also missed Saturday's practice. The 24-year-old big man's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's preseason opener against the Rockets. He's coming off a career-best campaign in 2024-25, during which he averaged 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.4 blocks across 30.0 minutes per game in 58 regular-season outings.

Kessler missed Saturday's practice due to left shoulder soreness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler missed the last five games of the 2024-25 campaign due to a concussion, and he now finds himself dealing with a shoulder issue ahead of the preseason. Kessler and the Jazz have been unable to agree on an extension, which seemed to be a sore spot for Kessler during the team's media day. The disconnect could be due to cap-management reasons -- potentially delaying an extension until next summer -- but that remains to be seen. Kessler remains uncertain to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Rockets.

Kessler (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler entered concussion protocols April 3, and it will end him sidelining him for the Jazz's final five games of the regular season. Oscar Tshiebwe and Kyle Filipowski will serve as Utah's primary big men for Sunday's regular-season finale in Walker's absence. The third-year big man out of Auburn put up solid numbers for the Jazz this season, but injuries and reconditioning caused him to miss 17 of the Jazz's 33 games since Jan. 1. With Utah failing to qualify for the postseason, Kessler will finish the 2024-25 regular season averaging 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.4 blocks in 30.0 minutes per game across 58 outings.

Kessler (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler is still dealing with a concussion, which will keep him sidelined for the fourth straight game Friday. It remains uncertain whether he'll return to the floor for the regular-season finale against the Timberwolves on Sunday. In the meantime, the Jazz will likely turn to Kyle Filipowski, who is coming off arguably the best game of his career, finishing with 30 points, 18 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals in a win over the Trail Blazers.

Kessler (nose/concussion) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

A nasal fracture and concussion will keep Kessler from playing Wednesday. With two games left on the 2024-25 calendar for the rebuilding Jazz, it wouldn't be shocking if Kessler has made his final appearance this season. Kyle Filipowski has averaged 13.8 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks in 28.7 minutes over his last nine outings as starter, and he should continue to fill in for Kessler at center against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Kessler logged 28 minutes in his return to action Wednesday but will sit out Friday's contest due to being in concussion protocol and a nasal fracture.
