About us
The Utah Jazz is a professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. They are currently part of the Northwest Division of the Western Conference in the NBA (National Basketball Association). Originally located in New Orleans, Louisiana, the franchise began in 1974 as the New Orleans Jazz and the18th professional basketball team to enter the NBA. Despite drawing well, the franchise struggled and was eventually moved to Salt Lake City, Utah in 1979 after just five years in the league. In 1985, Larry H. Miller became co-owner of the still struggling organization, and then a year later, purchased the remaining portion from Sam Battistone to become the sole owner. The Jazz has since become one of the more successful teams in the league with frequent post-season playoff appearances, including consecutive appearances from 1984 to 2004, as well as two NBA Finals appearance in 1997 and 1998.

With the help of Delta, Salt Lake City representatives and Keyonte George, we unveiled a newly renovated basketball court at Liberty Park! The project was initiated by Lance Lavizzo, a Salt Lake resident known organizing street basketball tournaments around the valley and the court mural done by Lindsay Huss – an Ogden-based artist! Thank you to everyone who made this possible! #CommunityObsessed | Delta Air Lines

The Utah Jazz family is heartbroken by the sudden passing of Steve Klauke, voice of the Salt Lake Bees for three decades, longtime member of the Jazz broadcast team, and father to Jazz equipment manager, Adam Klauke. A legendary sports broadcaster, Steve was admired and loved by many. He will be greatly missed, and his contributions will continue to have an indelible impact on the Utah sports community. Our thoughts are with Adam, Steve’s wife, Sue, and their daughter, Lisa.

This year Britanie Williams was selected as a Community Nominee! Britanie goes above and beyond in all aspects of coaching. She promotes sportsmanship while also helping players build character, develop their basketball skills, and focus on progress on and off the court.
