2024–25 Utah Jazz season
NBA professional basketball team season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024–25 Utah Jazz season was the 51st season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and their 46th season in Salt Lake City, Utah. In June 2024, the Jazz revealed that the 2024–25 season's jersey lineup would feature two new designs alongside two existing uniforms, as part of the new "Mountain Basketball" brand philosophy.[2] The new designs were met with positive reviews, particularly for their emphasis of the purple mountain design from previous eras.[3] By the end of October, the Jazz would be the last team in the NBA to win a game for this season.

On March 10, 2025, the Jazz were eliminated from playoff contention for the 3rd year in a row following their loss to the Boston Celtics. By the end of March, the Jazz officially recorded their 60th loss of the season to the Charlotte Hornets, which not only makes this season currently the worst season in franchise history, but it also ends the Jazz's record of being the only NBA team remaining to not lose 60 or more games in a season. They also failed to improve upon their 31–51 record from the previous year, and finished with the worst record in the conference and the league at 17–65. The Jazz allowed 9,941 total points (121.2 points per game), the tenth most points allowed by an NBA team in a season.[4]
The Utah Jazz drew an average home attendance of 18,174, the 14th-highest of all NBA teams.[5]

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | Cody Williams | SG |  United States |

The Jazz had two first-round picks and one second-round pick entering the draft.[6][7] They kept their original first-round pick which landed 10th following the NBA draft lottery, while the two other picks were acquired through previous trades. The team's original second-round pick was conveyed to the New York Knicks as the more favorable pick after Utah finished with a worse record than the Cleveland Cavaliers in the previous season.[8]
On the first night, the Jazz selected two freshmen in Cody Williams and Isaiah Collier with the 10th and 29th picks respectively. Both were regarded as needing development, with commentators regarding Williams as lacking strength and Collier having turnover issues,[9] and general manager Justin Zanik referring to the upcoming roster as a "young, developmental squad" in a post-draft interview.[10] On the second night, the Jazz drafted Kyle Filipowski. Filipowski was previously invited to the green room on the first night as an expected first round selection, but was not chosen that day. On the morning of the second round, draft analyst Jonathan Givony reported that the draft slide was due to teams concerned about his relationship with his fiancé, claiming that he was "estranged from his family because of this whole situation", and that she was "much older than him".[11] When asked about the rumors, a Jazz front office member stated they had done a background check and were excited to select Filipowski.[12]
