The Utah Jazz have agreed to a new two-year, $22 million contract with veteran center Jusuf Nurkic, keeping him in Utah.

Nurkic played 41 games for the Jazz last season, averaging 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in 26.4 minutes per contest.

The experienced big man provided a consistent presence in the frontcourt with his rebounding, passing, and interior play.

The new deal gives Utah additional depth at center alongside Jaren Jackson Jr. and potentially Walker Kessler if the two sides reach a new agreement.

The Jazz originally acquired Nurkic from the Hornets during the 2025 offseason in exchange for Collin Sexton.
