Trey Alexander
Jazz guard Trey Alexander was stretchered off the court on Monday with a rib injury in a scary scene in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
The former Creighton player was driving to the basket in the fourth quarter against the Bulls when he made contact with 2026 No. 4 overall pick Caleb Wilson, tossing the ball toward the hoop with just over two minutes left.

Alexander, 23, quickly dropped to the floor behind the basket, clutching his side, visibly in a lot of pain.
He was tended to by medical trainers for multiple minutes before rolling off the court and onto a stretcher.
The Jazz, on Tuesday, said Alexander suffered a rib contusion.
Alexander signed a one-year, two-way deal worth $678,882, $91,000 of which was guaranteed, with the Jazz after spending the 2025-26 season with the Pelicans.
