BRICE SENSABAUGH NEWS

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.

Contributes 11 points Tuesday Sensabaugh racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Sensabaugh posted the 10th double-digit scoring effort of his young career Tuesday, and he might be tasked with a slight uptick in usage after Taylor Hendricks suffered a season-ending leg injury. Sensabaugh has averaged 14.8 minutes while appearing in all four of Utah's contests to thus far.

Team option picked up The Jazz exercised the third-year rookie scale option on Sensabaugh's contract Monday.

Impact Sensabaugh is now under contract through the 2025-26 season. He made 32 regular-season appearances as a rookie, including 11 starts. As a starter, Sensabaugh averaged 10.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.3 minutes per game. However, most of those came when Utah had already thrown in the towel and were resting players. Sensabaugh is expected to handle a minor reserve role to start the 2024-25 campaign.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Solid finish to preseason Sensabaugh scored 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT) while adding two rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-86 preseason loss to the Trail Blazers...

Impact The second-year forward led all Jazz players in minutes and points on the night. Sensabaugh didn't have a regular spot in the frontcourt rotation until late February as a rookie, but over the last 25 contests last season he averaged 22.2 minutes a game with 9.0 points, 3.9 boards, 2.1 assists and 1.3 threes, usage and production he could match in 2024-25 as a part of the second unit.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Sensabaugh (finger) has been cleared to participate in training camp this week, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Sensabaugh tore an extensor tendon in his left middle finger during the Summer League and was given a six-week timetable, so he likely had plenty of time to work on his game during the offseason. He made 32 regular-season appearances as a rookie, posting averages of 7.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.3 minutes.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Out at least six weeks Sensabaugh will miss at least six weeks after tearing an extensor tendon in his left middle finger Saturday during the Summer League, Ryan Miller of KSL.com reports.

Impact Sensabaugh had three points, two assists and two rebounds for the Jazz before leaving Saturday's game for good. Despite this setback, Sensabaugh is likely to be 100 percent recovered in time for training camp. Heading into his second season, Sensabaugh could be a rotation player for the Jazz right out of the gate.

JULY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Role continues to increase in loss Sensabaugh had 22 points (8-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 129-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact It's very likely that we've seen the last of Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) this season, giving Sensabaugh all he can handle as his rookie season draws to a close. The Ohio State product put up 22 points for the second consecutive game, matching the season-high total he accumulated on Sunday.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Scores career-high 22 points Sensabaugh provided 22 points (6-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 127-106 loss to Sacramento.

Impact With the season coming to a close, the Jazz will dive deep into their roster to see what they have, and Sensabaugh has benefited. The 2023 first-round pick has played with the first unit several times over the past couple of weeks thanks to Lauri Markkanen's (shoulder) absence, and he seems to have a secure future in Utah's future plans. Markkanen appears to be shut down for the season, so we will likely see some respectable stat lines from Sensabaugh as the season winds down.

The Triple Team: Jazz have allowed the most threes in the NBA. Why? It's a strategy thing — one I feel a little uncomfortable with. Plus, notes on Walker Kessler's passing and Brice Sensabaugh's 3-point game.

Goes scoreless in starting role Sensabaugh ended with zero points (0-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 101-100 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Sensabaugh replaced Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) in the starting lineup Friday but looked quite bad, going scoreless and not making enough contributions in peripheral stats. He looked outmatched while dealing with the frontcourt of Jabari Smith and Dillon Brooks, and it remains to be seen if he'll remain in a starting role when the Jazz take on the Kings on Sunday.

Starting Friday Sensabaugh will start at small forward in Friday's game against the Rockets, eric

Impact Sensabaugh will replace Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) in the starting lineup. He has averaged 9.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 26.6 minutes in six starts this season.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Sensabaugh will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact No surprise here, as Lauri Markkanen is back in the lineup after a maintenance day. Despite the move to the bench, Sensabaugh is likely to have a key role for the remainder of the season.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Back with first unit Sensabaugh will start Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Sensabaugh will make his sixth career start, each of which has come in March. In his previous five starts, Sensabaugh averaged 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 28.0 minutes.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench Monday Sensabaugh will come off the bench for Monday's game against Minnesota, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Sensabaugh's run as a starter across Utah's last five contests yielded 11.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists while posting 48.9 percent shooting on 9.0 shots in 28.0 minutes per game. Lauri Markkanen's (quad) return following a six-game absence will likely resort Sensabaugh to a 15-20 minute role.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Thrives in first career start Sensabaugh had 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-117 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Sensabaugh made the first start of his career due to the absence of Taylor Hendricks (toe), and even though one game is not enough to draw any conclusions, there's no question he looked impressive on both ends of the court. Sensabaugh posted season-high marks in both points and rebounds, and he might remain in the first unit if Hendricks is unable to recover ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first career start Sensabaugh is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls.

Impact Sensabaugh will replace Taylor Hendricks (toe) in the starting five Wednesday. Sensabaugh played a career-high 21 minutes Monday and could see his playing time increase against Chicago.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Scores six pints in 13 minutes Sensabaugh amassed six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt) over 13 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 loss to the Heat.

Impact Sensabaugh played at least 13 minutes for the fifth straight game, continuing to serve as a meaningful part of the rotation. Although his production has been slightly underwhelming, he is a player to watch as we near the climax of the regular season. If and when he hits the 28-minute mark, he could be worth adding, even in standard leagues.

MARCH 3 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Monday's game Sensabaugh (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Questionable for Monday Sensabaugh (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Senseabaugh has a chance to make his return to the lineup after missing the last 13 games due to left hip soreness. Sensabaugh doesn't figure to see much run even if he is cleared, however, as he has seen just 11 minutes of action all season.
