Jordan Clarkson made it through the closing of the transfer market without leaving Utah, but everything indicates that the situation will be very different in a matter of months. The guard has been rumored for a long time to reinforce a team with playoff aspirations, since the Jazz are in full reconstruction. However, whether for one reason or another he is on track to close out his fourth full season as a player in the Salt Lake City organization.
Perhaps because of the price that the Jazz are asking, or perhaps simply because the interest in acquiring his services has so far been less than expected, the reality is that Clarkson is still in Utah and with a contract that extends until June 30, 2026. To be exact, in the next two campaigns he must receive a total of 28.3 million dollars.
The truth is that his salary seems more than adjusted for a player who is averaging 17.2 points per night in this 2023-24 season. Thus, The Athletic do not hesitate to emphasize that it would be a surprise if the guard He would not leave the Jazz in the summer, since many aspiring teams see him as a fantastic scorer who can assume the weight of the attack starting from the second unit – that is exactly what he does.

Along these lines, in terms of making important changes to its squad, journalist Tony Jones adds that Utah can be one of the great entertainers on the night of the 2024 draft, anticipating that it could make some significant move. Will any of these include Clarkson? Have to wait. What is certain is that teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers have already been linked to him before.
