Jazz's Keyonte George Gives Honest Statement on End of Season

The Utah Jazz are right around the corner of getting into the weeds of this coming offseason, but before that, they'll have a cluster of games to take on in the final weeks of a 2024-25 regular season that many would likely prefer to forget.

But the ten games ahead are far from meaningless, even if the Jazz may already be eliminated from postseason contention and are focusing squarely on this year's upcoming draft. Utah's roster and staff have made it clear that they won't be letting their foot off the gas to close out the year, using every opportunity to get better however they can.

Ahead of Utah's battle vs. the Memphis Grizzlies, second-year Jazz guard Keyonte George spoke about the value within the coming weeks of the season, making it clear that these showings are far from the last games of the season, only the next ones.

"We talk about it all the time –– this is the next ten, not the last ten," George said. "We say this is the next ten before the break. We've got more games next season, but for me, just continue to focus defensively, on and off the ball, continue to take strides in that. Obviously, I think my efficiency has gotten a lot better. Just getting to the rim, taking the right shots. Keep the turnovers low. When I go into these games with that type of focus and plan, it makes the game a lot easier. The game is slower, and you're able to feel good about yourself going into the locker room if you did those certain things that you just wanted to lock in on."
