Anderson (lower back) provided five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 140-126 loss to the Lakers.
Anderson had missed the Jazz's previous four games while he managed a right lower back injury, but after getting cleared to play shortly before the opening tip, he ended up filling a prominent role off the bench. He and Kevin Love were the first Jazz reserves to check into the game, and Anderson nearly ended up matching starting wings Ace Bailey (23 minutes) and Svi Mykhailiuk (25 minutes) in playing time. Prior to getting hurt, Anderson hadn't been a consistent member of the Utah rotation, so despite his solid showing Tuesday, he may not be in line for a regular role once the Jazz draw closer to full strength. Though Taylor Hendricks (hamstring) suited up Tuesday, he didn't play and might have been available only in an emergency after missing the previous four games. Utah was also without Kyle Filipowski (wrist) for the first time all season.

Jazz's Kyle Anderson: Sees first minutes of season
Rotowire
Anderson totaled eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Friday's 118-96 loss to the Suns.
Despite being cleared to suit up ahead of the regular-season opener, Anderson didn't see any playing time during Utah's first four games of the season. Most of Anderson's playing time Friday came at the expense of Kyle Filipowski, who started but played only 10 minutes. It's unclear if Anderson will be a regular part of the rotation moving forward, but leading the bench in minutes is certainly a step in the right direction.

Jazz's Kyle Anderson: Joins Utah
Rotowire
The Heat traded Anderson and Kevin Love to the Jazz on Monday in a three-team deal that sent John Collins (ankle) to the Clippers and Norman Powell to the Heat, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Anderson has two years left on his contract valued at a total of $18.8 million. The Jazz acquired a 2027 second-round pick via Los Angeles to absorb his contract, however. If the Jazz intend to keep him around, Anderson could be a valuable veteran mentor for Utah's young roster. Anderson made just 61 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, posting averages of 5.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 16.4 minutes.

Heat's Kyle Anderson: Limited to eight minutes
Rotowire
Anderson ended with zero points (0-1 FG) in eight minutes during Monday's 138-83 loss to Cleveland in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Anderson shook off a questionable tag and was able to play through his illness Monday, but Miami didn't exactly need him much with this game pretty much over by the second quarter. Following his mid-season trade from Golden State, Anderson was used sparingly by the Heat in the regular season, as the veteran saw 18.4 minutes across 25 appearances with 6.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks.

Heat's Kyle Anderson: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Anderson (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers.
Anderson was a late addition to the injury report and is in jeopardy of missing Monday's game due to an illness. The veteran forward has recorded a DNP in each of the Heat's last two games, so his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in Miami's rotation.

Heat's Kyle Anderson: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
Anderson ended with eight points (4-6 FG), eight rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 25 minutes during Monday's 117-105 victory over the 76ers.
Bam Adebayo (back) sat this game out, and the Heat were shorthanded again, allowing Anderson to see extended run off the bench. He's certainly trending in the right direction as a fantasy streamer, posting averages of 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 25.3 minutes over his last four games.

Heat's Kyle Anderson: Hits for season-high 19
Rotowire
Anderson racked up 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 124-103 victory over the Celtics.
It was his best scoring performance of the season, and just the sixth time in 19 appearances for the Heat that Anderson has scored in double digits. The veteran forward has had trouble establishing himself in Miami's rotation since being acquired from Golden State, but injuries in the frontcourt have given him an opportunity, and he's taking advantage. Anderson has been in the rotation for five straight contests and played at least 20 minutes in four of them, averaging 10.4 points, 2.8 boards, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.2 minutes during that span.
