The Utah Jazz are waiving another one of their trade deadline newcomers.

He hasn't played since the fifth game of the season, but the value of Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler's next contract went up this week.

A former Celtics big man will be looking for a new team after the trade deadline after reportedly being let go by the Jazz.

The Utah Jazz (16-35) battle the Atlanta Hawks (25-27) on Thursday, February 5, 2026 at State Farm Arena. It tips at 7:30 p.m. ET on FDSSE, KJZZ, and Jazz+. The Hawks are an 8.5-point favorite against the Jazz when the Hawks and the Jazz meet. The game's point total is set at 245.5.

Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels are excellent, don’t get me wrong, and adding Jonathan Kuminga from Golden State is, at least, somewhat interesting. But sitting on a 25-27 record, and dangling from the cliff of the Play-In Tournament, a team that was in the Eastern Conference Finals just… five years ago? Really, it’s been that long already?
