According to Tony Jones, Talen Horton-Tucker is “unlikely to return to the Utah Jazz next season.”

From Mr. Jones' article:
The roster will likely undergo significant changes this offseason. Guard Talen Horton-Tucker, who will become an unrestricted free agent after his fifth NBA season, is unlikely to return next season, league officials said. The Jazz have a decision to make with soon-to-be 32-year-old super sixth man Jordan Clarkson. Clarkson is still in prime form and is under contract through the 2025-26 season, but he plays the same position as Sensabaugh. What is Jazz trying to cultivate? More importantly, the Jazz finished the season without a typical small forward in their rotation, arguably the most important position in the NBA.
it's been forever up andThis isn't a huge surprise as the Jazz and Talen Horton are having a down season. Utah was mostly better this season when THT didn't play. As Jones mentioned, it also makes sense in terms of giving Bryce Sensabaugh more time on the floor.
This will also help the Jazz next season as it will be profitable. Utah has some decisions to make with coach Lauri Markkanen, and keeping the books open will keep options open. Let's see what other moves Jazz makes. “The roster will probably undergo significant changes,” Jones said. You'll see what that means in a moment.
