2002–03 Utah Jazz season

The 2002–03 Utah Jazz season was the team's 29th in the NBA. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 44–38 output from the previous season. They bested it by three games, finishing third in the Midwest Division with a 47–35 record, and qualified for the playoffs for the twentieth straight season. The Jazz once again failed to make it out of the first round, losing to the Sacramento Kings in five games. This season marked an end of an era as John Stockton retired, and Karl Malone signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Lakers. Also following the season, Calbert Cheaney signed with the Golden State Warriors. The Jazz would not return to the playoffs until 2007.
