Jazz's Ochai Agbaji: Solid stat line in preseason win
Agbaji tallied 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocked shots over 16 minutes against New Zealand in a 114-94 exhibition victory Monday.
Agbaji was one of nine different Utah players who logged between 15 and 17 minutes in the contest, and he was among the most productive, finishing as one of three with a double-digit point total. The guard also swatted a pair of shots and contributed as a rebounder and distributor. Agbaji's scoring total was his highest through four preseason matchups. He's come off the bench in each of those games and will likely continue to do so when the regular season kicks off.

Jazz's Ochai Agbaji: Ejected Sunday
Agbaji was ejected in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Lakers after being assessed a pair of technical fouls, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Prior to being tossed early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's matchup, Agbaji tallied eight points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight assists, a rebound and a steal in 27 minutes. The 22-year-old's ejection ends his rookie season in which he took on a starting role over his final 20 appearances. His role next season will likely depend on whether Jordan Clarkson (finger) exercises his player option for the 2023-24 campaign.

Jazz's Ochai Agbaji: Pours in career-high 28 points
Agbaji had 28 points (10-25 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 win over the Nuggets.
Agbaji led the Jazz in scoring Saturday, dropping a career-high 28 points. He has now scored in double-digits in six of the past seven games, making the most of his late-season opportunity. While he has proven he can score the basketball, his supporting stats remain quite underwhelming. The Jazz are building a nice young core, and although Agbaji is likely a piece of that, it's hard to see his role expanding too much next season once the team is fully healthy.
