Walker Kessler, Jazz Discontinue Extension Talks Ahead of Season
Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler is eligible for an extension. However, it looks like he's headed for restricted free agency after the 2025-26 season. According to The Athletic's Tony Jones, the two sides have halted extension negotiations and are not expected to reach a deal before the Oct. 20 deadline. The Jazz did make an offer to Kessler over the offseason, but they weren't close to actually agreeing on a contract. Jones also reports that the team is prioritizing cap flexibility for next year's free agency period. They have received calls with trade offers for Kessler, but have denied all of them. The 24-year-old appeared in 58 games last season and averaged 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.4 blocks per game.
