Utah Jazz forward Georges Niang is sidelined with a foot injury just days before the team opens training camp for the 2025-26 NBA season.

The Jazz announced Saturday that Niang, 32, sustained a fourth metatarsal stress reaction in his left foot during offseason training and conditioning. He will be reevaluated in two weeks as the team begins preparations for the upcoming campaign.

Niang enters his 10th NBA season after a year of transition in 2024-25. He began the season with the Cleveland Cavaliers before being dealt at the trade deadline. Cleveland packaged Niang with Caris LeVert and three second-round picks to acquire forward De’Andre Hunter from the Atlanta Hawks .
