The Utah Jazz's scheduled nationally televised game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on January 30 has been flexed by the NBA, moving the time from 8 PM MT to 7 PM MT and likely replacing it with a different matchup. This leaves the Jazz with only one national TV appearance remaining in the 2024-25 season, a game against the Phoenix Suns on February 7, just after the trade deadline.
This decision reflects the Jazz's struggles this season, as they find themselves ranked 14th in the Western Conference, ahead of only the New Orleans Pelicans. Having secured fewer than ten wins nearly halfway through the season, the team's lack of success may contribute to the reduced national interest.
The NBA is instead opting to showcase the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies, both of whom have been performing well and are positioned among the top teams in the Western Conference.
