The 2024–25 Utah Jazz season will be the 51st season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In June 2024, the Jazz revealed that the 2024–25 season's jersey lineup would feature two new designs alongside two existing uniforms, as part of the new "Mountain Basketball" brand philosophy.[1] The new designs were met with positive reviews, particularly for their emphasis of the purple mountain design from previous eras.[2]

The Jazz had two first-round picks and one second-round pick entering the draft.[3][4] On the first night, the Jazz selected two freshmen in Cody Williams and Isaiah Collier with the 10th and 29th picks respectively. Both were regarded as needing development, with commentators regarding Williams as lacking strength and Collier having turnover issues,[5] and general manager Justin Zanik referring to the upcoming roster as a "young, developmental squad" in a post-draft interview.[6] On the second night, the Jazz drafted Kyle Filipowski. Filipowski was previously invited to the green room on the first night as an expected first round selection, but was not chosen that day. On the morning of the second round, draft analyst Jonathan Givony reported that the draft slide was due to teams concerned about his relationship with his fiancé, claiming that he was "estranged from his family because of this whole situation", and that she was "much older than him".[7] When asked about the rumors, a Jazz front office member stated they had done a background check and were excited to select Filipowski.[8]
