Lazar Stefanovic - Moves into starting fiveStefanovic is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Stanford, Josh Newman of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

ImpactStefanovic will move into the first five with the recent news that Gabe Madsen will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a lower leg injury. He's only started one game since Nov. 21, but Stefanovic has maintained a large role nevertheless. He's averaging 9.7 points, three rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals over 25.7 minutes per contest and should see those numbers increase down the stretch with Madsen potentially set to miss the rest of the regular season.

Gabe Madsen - Expected to miss 4-6 weeksUtah announced on Thursday that Madsen is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a lower leg injury sustained last Saturday against Oregon.

ImpactThis is a big blow for the Utes who were right in the mix to make the NCAA Tournament. Madsen was the team's second-leading scorer at 11.7 PPG and was one of the top three-point threats in the conference. There's a chance the 6-6 wing could end up missing the rest of the season, but Utah will hold out hope that Madsen is able to return in early March. Lars Stefanovic should step into the starting lineup going forward.
