Mbeng played all 48 minutes for the second time in his last three games. During this stretch, he averaged 22.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 4.3 steals in 44.7 minutes per game. It has been an impressive run for Mbeng, who signed standard contract last week after playing on two 10-day deals. However, if they do keep him around next season, he won’t play that large of a role.

Mbeng signed a two-year deal with the Jazz last week, and after being a rotation piece for a few weeks, he has played big minutes over their last two games. He played well as a starter on Tuesday, and he was even better as a reserve in this game. He was one of three players to record a triple-double in this game, including two off the bench for Utah. Mbeng went undrafted after playing four years at Yale and is perhaps playing himself into a lengthy career.

For a player not selected in the 2025 NBA Draft, it’s highly unlikely that Mbeng would complain about playing too much. The rookie guard was on the floor for all 48 minutes, and he finished with season-highs in points and steals. Given where the Jazz are in the standings, Mbeng will play plenty in Utah’s final two games. And those are two more opportunities to show that he deserves a longer look from the Jazz in the summer.

The Jazz are without Ace Bailey for Tuesday’s game, as a right knee contusion has sidelined him. As a result, Mbeng moves into the starting lineup and should play significant minutes.

Mbeng still has one day remaining on his second 10-day contract, so the Jazz will reportedly wait until its expiration to complete the rest-of-season deal. This move also clears the way for Mbeng to join Utah’s Summer League squad. In Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets, he played 23 minutes, finishing with seven points, one rebound, two assists and one steal.

The Jazz won’t have Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier or Brice Sensabaugh for Saturday’s game, so Mbeng will make his first start as a pro. With this being the penultimate game for Mbeng before his 10-day contract expires, he’ll be motivated to put forth a solid effort.
