Following the expiration of Kennedy Chandler‘s first 10-day contract with the Jazz on Monday night, he has been re-signed to a second 10-day deal, the team announced on Wednesday in a press release.
Chandler, who joined the Jazz on March 21 after spending most of the 2025/26 season with the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League, saw plenty of action during his first 10 days in the NBA since 2023. The 23-year-old point guard averaged 14.2 points, 6.8 assists, and 3.2 rebounds in 32.3 minutes per game across six appearances for Utah, registering a shooting line of .431/.364/.652.
The Jazz are dealing with injuries to several regulars, including usual starting point guard Keyonte George, and have long been eliminated from postseason contention, opening the door for Chandler to play a significant rotation role in the final weeks of the regular season.
His second 10-day deal will run through April 10, covering five of Utah’s remaining six games. After it expires, the Jazz would have to sign Chandler to a rest-of-season or multiyear contract in order to retain him for the regular season finale.
Chandler will earn another $117,730 on his second 10-day deal, bringing his total earnings with the Jazz to $235,460. He’ll carry an identical cap hit.
