Walker Kessler will undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder to repair a torn labrum. Kessler will be a restricted free agent during the 2026 NBA offseason after he was unable to agree to terms on an extension with the Utah Jazz.
Kessler missed time during the preseason due to bursitis in his left shoulder.
Kessler appeared in five games with the Jazz this season, averaging 14.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 18 blocks in 30.8 minutes.
