SALT LAKE CITY—Golden State Warriors trade rumors are swirling as the veteran team travels to face the Utah Jazz before Thursday’s deadline.
With teams looking to improve their roster over the next 24 hours, all eyes will be on who does, and perhaps more importantly who doesn’t play for the Jazz and Warriors.

The Jazz meanwhile have also been active ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
Over the last month, the Jazz have completed three trades, acquiring a future first-round draft pick from the Suns, a second-round draft pick from the Los Angeles Clippers, two additional second-rounders, and sophomore guard Jalen Hood Schifino in the Luka Doncic blockbuster.
The Jazz are still rumored to be engaged in trade talks with multiple quality veterans on the roster.
The NBA Trade Deadline is Thursday at 1 p.m. MST.
