Taylor Hendricks Shares Positive Injury Update for Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz faced a significant setback early in the 2024-25 season when Taylor Hendricks, a promising young forward, suffered a season-ending leg injury just three games in. The injury involved a fractured fibula and a dislocated ankle, sidelining him for the remainder of the campaign.
It was a tough blow for the Jazz, as Hendricks had been expected to play a key role in their lineup. However, as the 2025-26 season approaches, the 21-year-old appears to be making strong progress in his recovery. 
Hendricks recently posted an update on Instagram, showing that he’s back in the gym, working on both on-court drills and strength training to prepare for the upcoming season.
This is an encouraging sign, not only because Hendricks is back in action but also due to the significant progress he has made in recovering from his injury. With the regular season starting in October, his offseason efforts suggest he could be ready to contribute right away. Hendricks, along with teammate Sensabaugh, was recently in Spain for the NBPA’s sanctuary runs, further emphasizing his commitment to improvement.
Hendricks spoke about his productive summer during the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, noting how he’s focused on building his body and connecting with his teammates. “It’s been great overall… I can’t wait [for the season],” Hendricks said, showing excitement for the year ahead.
In his first healthy season with the Jazz, Hendricks made a notable impact, averaging 7.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and nearly a steal and a block per game across 40 games. As a budding two-way forward, he was developing into a key piece of the team’s future, and despite last year’s injury, he remains one of the most intriguing players on the Jazz roster.
With another year of experience and a focused offseason to improve physically, Hendricks seems poised for a breakout season. This could be the year he truly establishes himself as a force on both ends of the floor.
If the Jazz can get their young forward back to full strength soon, it will significantly improve their roster for the upcoming season. Early signs point to a promising future for Hendricks and the team.
