During an NBA Summer League matchup with the Chicago Bulls, Utah Jazz guard Trey Alexander was stretchered off the court after sustaining what appeared to be a side injury while driving to the basket.

Alexander, who signed a two-way deal with Utah last week, made contact with the Bulls’ Caleb Wilson during Monday night’s match while driving towards the basket. After tossing the ball towards the hoop, he went behind the basket, clutching his side or abdomen. He then dropped to the ground, appearing to be in great pain.

Alexander, 23, was carried off the court at Thomas & Mack Center on a stretcher, with the incident happening with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

There was no immediate word from the Jazz on Alexander’s injury.

Alexander played three seasons at Creighton University and skipped his final year of eligibility to turn pro. The rookie of the year in the G League, the NBA’s minor league, for the 2024-2025 season played 24 games for the Denver Nuggets that same season and nine games for the New Orleans Pelicans last season.

Under his current contract, Alexander is to play for the Jazz and its G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars.

Alexander, who recently signed a two-way contract with the Jazz, had a promising stint in the G League and brief NBA appearances. The Jazz have not yet provided an update on his condition, but his absence could affect his preparation for the upcoming season. Teams typically monitor such injuries closely and release further details as they become available.
