Thirteen players with past ties to the Jazz are currently in the playoffs. Notable figures include Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers, who is seeking his first conference finals appearance. Other former Jazz players, such as Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale with the Phoenix Suns, Jeff Green with the Houston Rockets, and Joe Ingles, Jordan Clarkson, Kyle Anderson, and Mike Conley with the Minnesota Timberwolves, are also vying for the title. Kelly Olynyk with the San Antonio Spurs and Rudy Gobert with the Minnesota Timberwolves are on teams considered strong contenders.
Additionally, Jarred Vanderbilt with the Los Angeles Lakers, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Tony Bradley with the Atlanta Hawks, are part of playoff rosters. For some, like Joe Ingles and Mike Conley, this playoff run might represent their final opportunities to secure an NBA title after long careers, including memorable tenures in Utah.
