The Utah Jazz concluded the NBA season with a disappointing 116-105 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking the worst season in franchise history with a record of 17-65. This dismal performance means they secured the best odds in the upcoming draft lottery with a 14% chance for the top pick. Anthony Edwards starred for Minnesota, scoring 43 points, while former Jazz All-Star Rudy Gobert contributed 19 points and 18 rebounds. Brice Sensabaugh led the Jazz with 22 points, and Keyonte George made history by playing all 48 minutes in the game.

With 10 players sidelined for various reasons, Utah’s season was marred by injuries and inconsistencies. Edwards, despite facing a potential suspension prior to the game, topped the league in three-pointers made this season, showcasing his scoring prowess. The Timberwolves will proceed to the playoffs as the No. 6 seed, facing the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, while the Jazz will look forward to a fresh start with their draft prospects.
