SVI Mykhailiuk

In 2025-26, Mykhailiuk played 50 games for Utah, averaging 9.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocks in 23.1 minutes per game. He shot 47.8 percent from the field, 40.8 percent from three-point range and 89.3 percent from the free-throw line, numbers that gave him a true shooting percentage of 62.6. His usage rate was 14.3 percent, and his plus-minus for the season was minus-1.5. Those shooting numbers, especially the 40.8 percent from deep, mark him as one of Utah's more reliable catch-and-shoot options off the bench last season, even in a limited role measured by that usage rate.

Mykhailiuk is not on Utah's injury report. He has no injury history noted this season. At 29 years old, with 8 seasons of NBA experience, he's established himself as a role player who can be trusted on the floor in both wins and losses early in 2026-27. The early-season minutes — 17.1, 19.1, 22.1 and 17.2 across the four games so far — suggest a bench role rather than a starting job, with his playing time moving depending on matchup and game flow. Utah has turned to him in short stretches each night, a workload consistent with a steady reserve wing rather than an every-night starter.

A Sept. 29 roundup from Jazz Notes, via Shreyas Laddha, touched on Utah's starting five along with names like Peterson, Sensabaugh and Nurkic as part of the broader roster conversation heading into the season. Nothing in that report specifies a change to Mykhailiuk's job, and his minutes through the first four games show him working as part of the second unit. Fans tracking the starting lineup discussion should treat it as a roundup of roster notes rather than a confirmed decision, since no source in that piece pins Mykhailiuk directly to a starting role.

Mykhailiuk is in his 8th NBA season, listed at 6-6 and 205 pounds, playing guard-forward and wearing No. 10 for Utah. He played his college ball at Kansas before turning pro. Last season he was with Utah as well, listed under team code UTA, so this is a continuation of his role with the Jazz rather than a new stop. At 29, he's one of the more experienced wing players on the roster, with eight years in the league providing a steadying presence for a team working through its rotation early in 2026-27.
