Kevin Love is off the Utah Jazz roster as of Monday, Sept. 21, per the team's official roster. No transaction report preceded the move, and his 2026-27 contract is not on file yet.
The move
Kevin Love is no longer on the Utah Jazz roster, per the team's official roster as of Monday, Sept. 21. The 38-year-old forward-center, in his 18th season, was on Utah's roster last season. No transaction report preceded the move, and none is logged connecting him to another club. The exit was detected directly from the roster rather than from a league or team announcement.
The money
Love's contract for 2026-27 is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so no cap hit or years are available for him. Utah carries a payroll of $181.9 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, over the $165.0 million cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax. The first apron sits at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million, both above the Jazz's current spending.
The fit
Love averaged 6.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 16.6 minutes over 37 games last season. Utah's frontcourt minutes last season went to Lauri Markkanen at 34.3 minutes and 26.7 points, Walker Kessler at 30.8 minutes and 14.4 points, and Jusuf Nurkić at 26.4 minutes and 10.9 points. The Jazz roster now stands at 18 players, 15 on standard contracts and three on two-way deals.
