Talen Horton-Tucker will return to the Utah Jazz for the 2023-24 season, opting into his $11 million contract option with the franchise.

The former Cyclone spent the entirety of last season with the Jazz, averaging a career high 10.7 points per game for the team.

It was the fourth-straight season where Horton-Tucker improved on his points per game average and he did it while adding 3.2 rebounds per game (ties a career high) as well as 3.8 assists per game (another career high).

Horton-Tucker spent the first three seasons of his career in Los Angeles before being a part of the Patrick Beverly trade that sent him away from the Lakers.
