Victor Wembanyama is the most captivating basketball player on the planet right now. Witnessing him play in person is a must for any hoops fan. Luckily, there are two early opportunities to do so at the Delta Center.
Jazz vs. Phoenix Suns (NBA Cup) — Friday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m.
The Jazz haven’t had much luck in the three previous NBA in-season tournaments — Utah is 1-7 in the past two Cups — but perhaps this year they can make an early statement with an impressive Cup showing before Christmas. This matchup with the Suns will be the first such opportunity at home.
Jazz vs. Washington Wizards — Saturday, Feb. 27 at 3 p.m.
Kansas guard Darryn Peterson (22) and BYU forward AJ Dybantsa (3) chase down a loose ball during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game, Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026, in Lawrence, Kan.

AJ Dybantsa was just drafted No. 1 overall by the Wizards, and the Jazz selected Darryn Peterson with the very next pick. The pair of rookie stars have had memorable matchups in high school, college and the summer league, and their first NBA regular-season meeting should be an electric event as well.
Jazz vs. Philadelphia 76ers — Tuesday, March 23 at 7 p.m.
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) works on Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (23) as the Jazz and Lakers play at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, on Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024.

After trading for Jaylen Brown and signing LeBron James, no team will command more attention this year than the Sixers, who already boast All-NBA talent Tyrese Maxey, rising phenom VJ Edgecombe and a former MVP in Joel Embiid. If Philadelphia’s health is still holding up in March, it will be a squad worth catching in Salt Lake City.
