SALT LAKE CITY — As the Utah Jazz hosted the Denver Nuggets at the Delta Center on Monday, a handful of notable athletes were in attendance to see the action.

From Olympians to NFL quarterbacks, everyone in the building got a show.

At the end of the first quarter, Olympic gold medalist Kaila Kuhn and Quinn Dehlinger were thrown up on the Jumbotron.

Kuhn, a Park City resident, claimed gold with Team USA in the mixed team aerials event less than two weeks ago at the Milano Cortina Games. Dehlinger was also with Team USA in Italy but was forced to drop out of his events after reaggravating a knee injury.

Just after the Olympians got their shine, Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer and Jazz part-owner Dwyane Wade made an appearance.

Last, but not least, New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was also at the Monday game.

Dart was born in Utah and attended Corner Canyon High School before going on to play college football at Ole Miss. He was selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft and made waves in his first year under center in the blue and red.
