The ledger
The current era (2022–2027)2024–25 Utah Jazz
The 51st season for the franchise and the 46th in Salt Lake City was the worst in Jazz history. In June 2024 the club revealed a jersey lineup of two new designs alongside two existing ones under a new "Mountain Basketball" brand philosophy, and the emphasis on the purple mountain look of earlier eras was received well . Almost nothing else went well. By the end of October the Jazz were the last team in the entire NBA still without a win.
36 in, 11 out. Every move the record shows for this season, with the reason where a source gives one. Where no reason is documented, the entry says nothing rather than guess.
