WATCH: Walker Kessler scores first career NBA points

Walker Kessler and the Utah Jazz took on the Denver Nuggets, and Kessler scored his first NBA points early in the first quarter.

One of Kessler’s teammates shot a three-pointer but missed everything, and Kessler boxed out 2021 NBA MVP Nikola Jokic to secure the rebound, then put up a reverse layup to record his first NBA points.

Kessler has two points, three rebounds, and an assist at the end of the first quarter. He also has a +/- of +3, which is the best on the Jazz at the moment.

This offseason was a weird one for Kessler as he dealt with injuries and was traded numerous times. Kessler was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies and traded immediately after the pick was made to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was a member of the Timberwolves for a few weeks before being traded to the Jazz.
