- Trey Alexander was taken from the Thomas & Mack Center court on a stretcher Monday night, dropping to the ground behind the basket clutching his side after making contact with Bulls defender Caleb Wilson on a drive.
- The incident occurred with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter of the NBA summer league matchup against the Chicago Bulls.
- The Utah Jazz had no immediate update on Alexander's condition; summer league head coach Steve Wojciechowski said he didn't see the play and only knew Alexander was being cared for by medical staff.
- Alexander, 23, had signed a two-way deal with the Jazz just one week earlier, making him a recent addition to the roster.
- Alexander was the 2024-25 G League rookie of the year after playing three seasons at Creighton and skipping his final year of eligibility; he appeared in 24 games for the Denver Nuggets that season and nine for the New Orleans Pelicans last season.
Why it matters: Alexander had signed his two-way contract with Utah only seven days earlier, so a significant injury could derail his path to a roster spot before the regular season. As the reigning G League rookie of the year, his trajectory matters for both the Jazz's developmental pipeline and his own career momentum, yet the team offered no diagnosis as of Monday night.
