ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Will Hardy has signed a six-year contract extension with the Jazz.

The extension keeps Hardy with Utah through the 2030-31 season. The new deal is a vote of confidence from Utah’s front office as the team continues its rebuild in the post Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert era. Hardy has a record of 85-161 through three seasons as Utah’s head coach, but it’s hard to put that on him given how often the Jazz have sat starters over his tenure. The team could be on the upswing with a 14 percent chance to land the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
