Wizards vs. Jazz preview: Washington tries to keep Utah winless in Vegas
Briefly

The Washington Wizards face the Utah Jazz in their fourth Summer League game set for July 16, 2025. The game takes place at 10:00 p.m. ET at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. The Wizards, coming off a win against the Brooklyn Nets, will rely on Alex Sarr, who set a Summer League record with eight blocks. The Jazz feature top performances from Kyle Filipowski and have recent first-round picks like Cody Williams and Isaiah Collier. Ace Bailey's participation remains uncertain due to injury, which affects the matchup with Tre Johnson.
Alex Sarr imposed his will on the defensive end in that contest with his Summer-League-record eight blocks. Sarr faces a tall task Wednesday in his matchup against fellow second-year center Kyle Filipowski, whose 29.3 points per game average leads Vegas in scoring.
Bailey's status for the contest - and his first showdown with Tre Johnson - remains up in the air due to a hip flexor injury. Bailey has yet to play in Vegas through his team's first three games.
Utah acquired No. 18 overall pick Walter Clayton Jr. in the deal that allowed Washington to draft Will Riley (21st pick) and Jamir Watkins (43rd pick). Clayton had a strong Vegas debut with 21 points, but has missed the last two games because of a hamstring issue.
