The Utah Jazz waived guard Vince Williams Jr. after he tore his left ACL in February, ending his season.

The Utah Jazz have waived guard Vince Williams Jr. after he suffered a season-ending left ACL tear in a February 23 game against the Houston Rockets. Acquired in a trade for Jaren Jackson Jr., Williams played six games for Utah, averaging 4.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. The move creates a roster spot as the Jazz manage multiple season-ending injuries. His $2.3 million salary was guaranteed, and the team declined his $2.5 million option for next season. Williams is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season and likely much of 2026-27.
