The Jazz terminated Kinsey's 10-day contract on Tuesday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Utah's signing of Darius Bazley caused the Jazz to cut Kinsey's 10-day deal short. Kinsey failed to make an NBA appearance since signing his contract last Friday and will likely return to the Salt Lake City Stars of the G League.

Jazz's Taevion Kinsey: Signs 10-day deal with Jazz
Rotowire
Kinsey and the Jazz agreed to a 10-day contract Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Kinsey has been a standout for the Jazz's G League affiliate in Salt Lake City of late, particularly with his three-point shooting. For the season, Kinsey averaged 9.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 three-pointers and 0.7 steals in 28.0 minutes per game over his 41 appearances for Salt Lake City. He'll serve as a depth option out of the backcourt for the duration of his 10-day deal but is unlikely to factor into head coach Will Hardy's rotation.

While it's possible another NBA team gives Kinsey a look, it's likely he'll end up on Utah's G League roster for the 2023-24 campaign.
