Team option picked up
The move allows the Jazz to keep Hendricks under team control through the 2025-26 regular season. Hendricks bounced back and forth between the Jazz and their G League affiliate Salt Lake City Stars during the 2023-24 regular season, and at the NBA level he averaged 7.3 points and 4.6 rebounds across 21.4 minutes per game across 40 games (23 starts). Hendricks was in the starting lineup over the last 23 regular-season games of his rookie year and saw his numbers jump up to 9.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game across 26.3 minutes. He should begin the 2024-25 regular season in the starting frontcourt alongside Lauri Markkanen and John Collins.

Sensabaugh is now under contract through the 2025-26 season. He made 32 regular-season appearances as a rookie, including 11 starts. As a starter, Sensabaugh averaged 10.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.3 minutes per game. However, most of those came when Utah had already thrown in the towel and were resting players. Sensabaugh is expected to handle a minor reserve role to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Third-year option exercised
This allows Utah to keep George under team control through the 2025-26 regular season. He entered the starting lineup late in the 2023-24 regular season due to injuries to Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson, and over his last 28 starts, George averaged 15.8 points, 4.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 31.4 minutes per game. George is expected to run with the first unit with Sexton while Clarkson serves in a sixth-man role.

Team option exercised
Kessler is now under contract through the 2025-26 season. After starting 40 games as a rookie, the big man made only 22 starts last year. He operated as a starter during the preseason, so an expanded role in Year 3 is possible, though it remains unclear if coach Will Hardy will let Kessler play 25-plus minutes a night consistently.

Solid finish to preseason
The second-year forward led all Jazz players in minutes and points on the night. Sensabaugh didn't have a regular spot in the frontcourt rotation until late February as a rookie, but over the last 25 contests last season he averaged 22.2 minutes a game with 9.0 points, 3.9 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.3 threes, usage and production he could match in 2024-25 as a part of the second unit.
