Lauri Markkanen Issues Blunt Statement After Jazz's Loss vs. Bucks The Utah Jazz forward kept it real after a 24-point loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Collin Sexton - Drops seven dimes in loss Sexton ended with 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and seven assists in 27 minutes during Thursday's 123-100 loss to Milwaukee.
Impact Sexton has started three straight games after a brief stint on the bench. Sexton and Jordan Clarkson will likely continue to platoon in the backcourt, and with no clear winner in terms of production, their fantasy efficacy will be somewhat diluted. For now, it appears that Clarkson will remain in his sixth-man role, where he is usually very productive.

Jordan Clarkson - Pops for 18 points in return Clarkson (heel) logged 18 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Clarkson had started in his previous two appearances before missing the Jazz's last two contests with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, but he ended up coming off the bench in his return to action Thursday. He played six fewer minutes than starting shooting guard Collin Sexton (27 minutes), but the split between the two players could become more even or even tilt in Clarkson's favor once the heel injury is further in the rear-view mirror. Clarkson had averaged 24.5 minutes per game in his first five outings of the season, while Sexton averaged 23.4 minutes during that same stretch.

Brice Sensabaugh - Slides out of rotation Sensabaugh played the final 3:25 of Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks, recording six points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and one rebound.
Impact The returns of Jordan Clarkson (heel) from a two-game absence and Lauri Markkanen (back) from a three-game absence left no room in the rotation for Sensabaugh, who didn't check into the game until the Jazz were trailing by 24 points late in the fourth quarter. Sensabaugh had played double-digit minutes in each of the Jazz's first seven games, but he ended up losing his spot on the second unit to Johnny Juzang, who will likely remain ahead of Sensabaugh in the pecking order for the time being after drilling three three-pointers in his 16 minutes Thursday.

Kyle Filipowski - Drops out of rotation Filipowski played four minutes in Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks, scoring zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and recording no other statistics during his time on the court.
Impact Filipowski had started each of the last three games while averaging 7.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.3 minutes, but he fell out of the Utah rotation Thursday while Lauri Markkanen (back) made his return to the lineup. The rookie second-round pick didn't check into the game until 4:13 remained in the fourth quarter, when the game was effectively over while the Bucks sat on a 20-point lead. Jazz head coach Will Hardy went with John Collins and Drew Eubanks as the primary backups in the frontcourt behind starters Markkanen and Walker Kessler, so it may take another injury to one of the quartet before Filipowski slots back into the rotation.

Isaiah Collier - Logs garbage-time run in NBA debut Collier (hamstring) played the final 4:13 of Thursday's game against the Bucks, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG), one turnover and no other statistics.
Impact Well after the Bucks had sewn up the victory, Collier checked into the game and made his NBA debut after he had missed the Jazz's first seven contests while recovering from the right hamstring strain he suffered during the preseason. Patty Mills continued to operate as the primary backup to starting point guard Keyonte George on Thursday, but given that the 36-year-old Mills is on an expiring deal for a 1-7 Jazz squad, expect Collier -- the 29th overall pick in June's draft -- to eventually move into a spot on the second unit at some point this season.

Lauri Markkanen - Limited production in return Markkanen (back) turned in eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Thursday's 123-100 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Markkanen was back in action after missing the previous three games with back spasms, but his return along with Jordan Clarkson's (heel) from a two-game absence was not enough to keep the Jazz competitive, as Milwaukee ran away with the win after outscoring Utah 31-16 in the third quarter. In addition to missing time with the back issue, Markkanen has largely struggled to match the production he delivered during his first two campaigns in Utah during the early stages of the current season. Through five appearances, Markkanen is averaging 16.0 points (on 37.1 percent shooting from the field), 7.2 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers and 2.2 assists in 28.4 minutes. While his scoring should improve once his field-goal percentage inevitably veers closer to his 45.8 percent career rate, Markkanen could be at risk of missing time late in the season if the 1-7 Jazz find themselves well removed from the playoff picture.

Kyle Filipowski - Returns to bench role Filipowski will come off the bench Thursday night against the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Filipowski made three straight starts while Lauri Markkanen recovered from a back issue, but the rookie will return to a reserve role following Markkanen's return. Filipowski struggled to see much run in his first two appearances off the bench but logged 25 minutes as a reserve Oct. 29 against the Kings, so there's really no blueprint to help identify how many minutes he'll shoulder Thursday evening.

Isaiah Collier - Good to go Thursday Collier (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Impact Collier is expected to make his NBA regular-season debut after sustaining a hamstring injury during the preseason. The rookie will compete for minutes with Patty Mills behind Keyonte George at point guard.

Jordan Clarkson - Will play Thursday Clarkson (heel) is available for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Impact Clarkson will return after a two-game absence due to plantar fasciitis, but this isn't entirely surprising since he was deemed probable earlier today -- and was likely to suit up, barring any late setbacks, before the scheduled 8 p.m. ET tip-off. Clarkson is averaging 13.0 points per game this season while starting in two of his five appearances.

Lauri Markkanen - Available Thursday Markkanen (back) is available for Thursday's game against Milwaukee.
Impact The star forward has missed the club's last three outings due to lower back spasms, though he is expected to reclaim his starting role from Kyle Filipowski on Thursday. Markkanen has appeared in four regular-season games thus far, during which he has averaged 18.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 38.5 percent from the field across 28.5 minutes per game.

Isaiah Collier - Now expected to play Thursday Collier (hamstring) is probable for Thursday's game versus the Bucks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Collier has yet to play this season while dealing with a hamstring injury. However, the rookie guard went through a full practice Wednesday and has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Thursday's contest. If Collier is officially deemed available, he should compete for depth minutes in Utah's backcourt.
