Filipowski Adapts to Center Role Amid Jazz Injuries

Kyle Filipowski has been filling in at center for the Utah Jazz as injuries sideline the front court, starting 38 games and gaining valuable minutes.

With several Jazz big men out, Filipowski has taken on the center role, starting 38 games and logging more minutes than ever. Coach Will Hardy praised his flexibility, noting he can play five even though he's not a traditional center.

The move gave Filipowski a chance to learn from teammates like Walker Kessler and Jaren Jackson Jr., and he said the experience has helped him grow. As the season nears its end, the young forward appreciates the freedom to switch positions.
