Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Flirts with double-double in defeat
Rotowire
Filipowski notched 26 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 134-109 loss to the Suns.
Filipowski fell one rebound shy of a double-double and proved to be one of Utah's only bright spots in the crushing defeat. The Jazz are woefully short-handed, but Filipowski has been a consistent presence following Jusuf Nurkic's (nose) season-ending injury. The door is wide open for the second-year pro to post solid numbers despite the team's fortunes, and he has the inside track for the starting job at center next season.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Scores 25 in return
Rotowire
Filipowski amassed 25 points (11-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 25 minutes during Friday's 135-129 loss to the Nuggets.
Filipowski returned to the court after a one-game absence and delivered an impressive performance, finishing just two boards shy of a double-double and notching his first outing with 20-plus points since the All-Star break. This 25-point output matched his season-high mark, and the former Duke standout could be in line for a big role in the final weeks of the season due to the lack of frontcourt options available on Utah's roster. Filipowski is thus a player worth targeting by fantasy managers down the stretch of the regular season.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Sees 30 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Filipowski ended Monday's 143-127 loss to Toronto with six points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes.
Filipowski couldn't get his shot to fall, but his fantasy managers will be happy with the usage and workload. Over his last six games, he's averaging 11.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Only 23 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Filipowski ended Wednesday's 147-111 loss to the Timberwolves with seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes.
Filipowski logged fewer than 30 minutes for the fourth straight game, continuing to see his role trend downward ever so slightly. While he remains a clear must-roster player, fantasy managers would love to see him out there for upwards of 30 minutes per night. With that said, in seven games over the past two weeks, Filipowski has been a borderline second-round talent, averaging 14.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes per game.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Filipowski (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Filipowski will miss his first game since Nov. 18 due to rest purposes, marking just his second time on the inactive list this season. With the second-year big man joining Jaren Jackson (knee) and Jusuf Nurkic (nose) on the sidelines, Oscar Tshiebwe and Kevin Love are candidates for increased minutes. Filipowski's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday in Minnesota.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Filipowski recorded 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one block in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 134-117 loss to the Knicks.
Filipowski finished just three rebounds away from recording what would've been his fourth consecutive double-double, and the former Duke standout has done a good job adjusting to life as a starter for the Jazz. Filipowski has started every game since the All-Star break and failed to score in double figures just once, averaging 15.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game over that 10-game stretch. He should remain in the starting role since the other center options have been ruled out for the season, including Walker Kessler (shoulder), Jusuf Nurkic (nose) and Jaren Jackson (knee).

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Fills stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Filipowski amassed 14 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 113-99 loss to the Bucks.
Filipowski recorded a second consecutive double-double after his 20-point, 14-rebound effort against the Wizards on Thursday. The big man has been outstanding since returning to the starting lineup and has scored in double digits in all but one of his previous nine starts, averaging 14.7 points and 8.4 rebounds per game over that stretch.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Posts another double-double
Rotowire
Filipowski produced 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 win over Washington.
Filipowski has started every game for the Jazz since the All-Star break, and while the numerous absences in the frontcourt have led to this role, the former Duke standout has been leaving a mark with his play on both ends of the court. This was Filipowski's first double-double since the All-Star break, but it was also the sixth time in which he scored in double digits in seven outings. It was also his third straight contest with at least eight boards. Expect Filipowski to remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Scores 20 points with four stocks
Rotowire
Filipowski posted 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 123-114 loss to Memphis.
Filipowski was hot from the jump, dropping in 12 points on six shots in his first eight minutes of play. Additionally, he missed only one shot through the first half. With Jaren Jackson (knee) done for the year and Jusuf Nurkic (nose) constantly getting hit with random rest days, Filipowski looks primed for a strong finish to the 2025-26 season.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Falls short of double-double
Rotowire
Filipowski finished Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Trail Blazers with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and six steals in 30 minutes.
Getting his third start in seven February contests, Filipowski just missed recording his fourth double-double of the month while setting a new career high in steals. With the Jazz trying to balance tanking for the top of the lottery against the league's load management rules, the second-year big man is likely to continue seeing his court time and role fluctuate wildly on the other side of the All-Star break. In those three February starts, Filipowski is averaging 15.3 points, 14.0 boards, 3.0 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.3 threes in 31.3 minutes.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Hauls in season-high 17 boards
Rotowire
Filipowski logged 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 17 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Hawks.
The 17 rebounds were a season high for Filipowski, who submitted his sixth double-double of the year. Jusuf Nurkic ended up staying put with the Jazz following Thursday's trade deadline, but the veteran big man didn't appear against Atlanta and carries an uncertain future in Utah. Filipowski, on the other hand, is flourishing in the first unit in the meantime, averaging 14.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.9 minutes per contest in his last 13 games as a starter.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Filipowski supplied 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 131-122 win over the Pacers.
The second-year center got the starting nod in place of Jusuf Nurkic, who was available to suit up but ultimately received a day off after initially being ruled out due to rest purposes. Filipowski grabbed a game- and season-high 16 rebounds, securing his fifth double-double on the campaign. The Jazz traded for Jaren Jackson on Tuesday, which will likely affect Filipowski's playing time if the club holds onto Nurkic past the trade deadline. However, Utah still owns a top-eight protected pick in the 2026 Draft and may continue resting key players as the season progresses, keeping Filipowski in the mix as a viable streaming option.

Filipowski had eight points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 loss to the Clippers.
With Jusuf Nurkic out sick Tuesday, the Jazz ended up dividing the center minutes evenly between Kevin Love and Filipowski. Over his last five appearances, Filipowski has averaged 9.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.3 minutes per game. His role could diminish if Nurkic returns to the floor Wednesday against the Warriors.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Woeful in loss
Rotowire
Filipowski had two points (1-6 FG) and five rebounds in four minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 overtime loss to the Thunder.
Filipowski was terrible Wednesday, logging a season-low four minutes. Seen as a likely silly-season winner, Filipowski's numbers over the past month have been far from ideal. In 13 appearances during that time, he has averaged 8.7 points and 5.5 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per contest, leaving him well outside the top-250 players in standard formats.

Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Back in starting lineup
Rotowire
Filipowski is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Clippers on Thursday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Filipowski has come off the bench in each of the Jazz's last three games, but the second-year big man will draw the start Thursday due to the absence of Jusuf Nurkic (toe). Filipowski has started 11 regular-season games thus far, and as a starter he is averaging 11.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 threes over 25.8 minutes per game.
