Kris Dunn

Dunn was a force at Providence, sweeping Big East Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in 2015 after two shoulder surgeries nearly derailed his college career. Minnesota drafted him fifth overall in 2016, and a year later he was a centerpiece of the Jimmy Butler blockbuster that sent him to Chicago. His Utah stop came in 2021-22.

He stayed in school long enough to earn his Providence degree, a goal he announced before his final season. Defense has kept him employed ever since — Dunn now patrols the perimeter for the Los Angeles Clippers.

HOW HE CAME & WENTUtah pulled him out of the G League on a 10-day contract on February 22, 2023 and gave him a multi-year deal that March. As a free agent in July 2024 he chose the Clippers, and the Jazz used their cap space to absorb Russell Westbrook in the sign-and-trade.

KRIS DUNN · 8 NOTES
  • Joined Michael Jordan as the only Bulls players ever to post 20 points, 12 assists, four steals, and two blocks in a game.
  • Utah pulled him out of the G League on a 10-day deal in February 2023, and he played so well the Jazz handed him a multi-year contract three weeks later.
  • He carried New London High to a 27-0 season and a Connecticut state title as a junior, averaging 26.5 points.
  • He once handed out 17 assists with 16 points in an overtime game against Indiana.
  • In 2019-20 he was the only player from a non-playoff team to receive a single All-Defensive vote.
  • He missed the opening games of the 2018-19 season on paternity leave for the birth of his son.
  • League rules bar a third 10-day contract with the same club, so when his second expired the Jazz had to commit to him for the season or let him go.
  • In his first nine games for Utah he averaged 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists on 53.1 percent shooting.
