Ibrahima Diallo, a 26-year-old rookie center, is no longer on the Utah Jazz roster as of Thursday, Sep. 24, per the team's official roster. A report the same day had flagged him among a batch of minor transactions involving the Jazz and six other clubs.
The move
Ibrahima Diallo, a 26-year-old rookie center, leaves the Utah Jazz roster, moving off the roster entirely as of Thursday, Sep. 24, based on the team's official roster listing. The move follows a Thursday, Sep. 24 report from hoopsrumors titled "Minor Transactions: Jazz, Nuggets, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Celtics, Wolves, Cavaliers," which carried a confidence rating that is not announced.
The money
Diallo's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and contract length are not announced. The Jazz carry a payroll of $181.9 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, putting them over the salary cap of $165.0 million but under the luxury tax line of $200.4 million. Utah remains below both the first apron of $209.0 million and the second apron of $221.7 million.
The fit
Diallo has no NBA line from last season. At center, the Jazz's rotation last season was led by Walker Kessler at 30.8 minutes and 14.4 points per game, with Jusuf Nurkic at 26.4 minutes and 10.9 points. Utah now carries 18 players on its roster, above the standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
