Re-signed G Keyonte George to a rookie scale extension.
Rimside Brief
The Utah Jazz have locked up guard Keyonte George on a five‑year rookie‑scale extension reportedly worth $157.5 million. George, who wears #3, posted 23.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game while shooting 45.6% from the field over 54 contests this season.
The move comes as the Jazz sit 22‑60, 15th in the Western Conference and 27th in overall power ranking, with a net rating of –8.3 and a 1‑9 record in their last ten games. Securing their leading scorer aims to give the franchise a core piece to build around as they look to improve beyond the current rebuilding phase. Going forward, the team will need contributions from the supporting cast and better defensive metrics to translate George’s production into more wins.
