The 2017-18 Utah Jazz enjoyed a resilient and exciting season, finishing with a 48-34 record and securing the fifth seed in the Western Conference. Despite the loss of key players in the offseason, the team thrived behind the sensational emergence of rookie Donovan Mitchell and a dominant defense, eventually advancing to the Western Conference Semifinals after a thrilling first-round victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. An undrafted Australian forward who became a mainstay for the Utah Jazz, Joe Ingles is the franchise's all-time leader in three-pointers made and was a 2021 Sixth Man of the Year finalist known for his elite perimeter shooting and playmaking.
