Favors appeared in 76 games for the Jazz and started 70 times. He averaged 11.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per contest. Favors shot a career-high 58.6 percent from the field.

As has been the case throughout his entire seven-plus years with the Jazz, Favors continued to be a useful source of both scoring and rebounding for Utah. He started in 77 games for Utah, proving that the left knee issues that pestered Favors last season were behind him. The 2017-18 campaign marked the fourth time in the past five seasons in which Favors averaged double figures (12.3) in scoring. He also pulled down at least seven rebounds per game (7.2) for the fifth time in the past six seasons.

Favors appeared in 50 games (39 starts) for the Jazz in his age-25 season, his seventh in the league. For the second year in a row, however, Favors battled adversity and fought injury issues for parts of 2016-17. A left knee bone contusion forced Favors to miss Opening Night and then 13 straight games from Nov. 17 to Dec. 10. In mid-December, Utah eased Favors back into the lineup via restricted minutes off of the bench. From Dec. 27 to Jan. 26, the 6-foot-10 veteran big started 17 straight games and posted 9.7 points and 6.4 rebounds over 25.6 minutes per game. Favors still wasn't at peak form yet, considering he averaged 32.0 minutes per contest last season. Utah then rested Favors for two games. On Feb. 6, Favors started and posted a season-high 20 points to go with 10 boards, three steals and two blocks in a blowout win at Atlanta. Still, the left knee continued to bother Favors. On March 7, the Jazz decided to make Favors inactive for their next 14 games. He returned in time to appear in three of their final four regular season games. The Jazz finished the year at 51-31 and defeated the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs before being eliminated by the Warriors in the Western Conference Semifinals.

The 2015-16 season was yet another productive year for the 6-foot-10 Favors. He posted a career-high 16.4 points per game while also recording season averages of 8.1 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and a career-best 1.2 steals per contest.

Five nights later, Favors blocked a career-high seven shots, to go with 25 points and 12 boards, during a one-point loss at Miami. On Dec. 5, Favors scored a career-high 35 points, to go with 13 rebounds, during a close home win over the Pacers. Back issues forced Favors to miss 16 straight games from Dec. 26 to Jan. 22.

His 1.5 blocks per game were good for 18th in the Association. The Jazz finished the year at 40-42 and did not qualify for the postseason despite Favors' efforts.

Just as he did in 2013-14, Favors started every game in which he appeared for the Utah Jazz.

The 22-year-old also increased his playing time from 23.2 minutes per game last year to 30.2 this season.

His per-game numbers improved slightly over the prior season, with the biggest difference being the leap in blocks per game, which went from 1.0 per game the previous season to 1.7 per contest in 2012-13. Favors' 130 total blocks during the regular season ranked 12th in the NBA. On March 4, Favors started and posted a career-best-tying 23 points, a season-high 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block during a one-point loss at Milwaukee.

Favors appeared in 65 of 66 games of the lockout-shortened season for the Utah Jazz. The 20-year-old averaged 8.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over 21.2 minutes per contest during his sophomore season in The Association.

Over the four postseason games, Favors averaged 11.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 steals with two double-doubles.

Favors was drafted with the third overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by the New Jersey Nets. The 19-year-old made his NBA debut on opening night, Oct. 27, and delivered eight points and 10 rebounds in a home win over the Pistons.
