Talen Horton-Tucker

One collector is trying to find a single signature from every man who ever played for the Jazz — all 370 of them, from the 1974 New Orleans team to today. For many of them, this page is the only one on the internet. Here is Talen Horton-Tucker: what he did on the floor, a few things most people never knew, and every card that carries his name. If you own something he signed — or you know who might — there is a note at the foot of this page.

A Chicago kid from Simeon Career Academy — his No. 5 jersey hangs retired at his grade school, St. Matthias — Horton-Tucker spent one season at Iowa State before the Lakers landed him in the 2019 second round. At 19 years and 322 days he became the second-youngest NBA champion ever when Los Angeles won the 2020 title. Traded to Utah in August 2022 for Patrick Beverley, he scored a career-high 41 points against San Antonio in March 2023.

Built like a puzzle — 6-foot-4 with a 7-foot-1 wingspan, one of the biggest such gaps in NBA history — he played a year for his hometown Bulls, then signed with Fenerbahce in 2025 and has thrived in the EuroLeague.

HOW HE CAME & WENTThe Lakers traded him and Stanley Johnson to Utah for Patrick Beverley on August 25, 2022. He picked up his $11 million option, and in 2024 the Jazz renounced his rights to clear cap room for Lauri Markkanen's new contract.
