Walker Kessler Set for Restricted Free Agency in 2026

The Jazz and Kessler didn't agree on a rookie-scale contract extension, according to The Athletic. This means Kessler will be an RFA in 2026, with several teams likely to show interest in his defensive upside. Kessler has been a trade candidate in recent years and was this past offseason as well, after averaging a career-high 11.1ppg and 12.2rpg in 2024-25.
