Starting against OKC Springer is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Thunder on Friday.

Impact Friday will be Springer's first start of the season and his first start since April 12, 2024 against the Hornets. He has averaged 6.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals over 20.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Available to play Wednesday Springer (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Springer doesn't have a significant role in the rotation, and his availability isn't likely to move a needle in most fantasy formats, but he'll add depth to the wing rotation in a depleted roster. Springer is averaging just 13.0 minutes per game in nine appearances off the bench since the All-Star break.

Iffy for Wednesday Springer is questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston due to lower back injury management.

Impact Springer missed 12 of Utah's 15 games during March due to a back injury, though he was able to suit up in Monday's loss to the Hornets, posting 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 27 minutes. If the 22-year-old swingman is sidelined against the Rockets, Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk could receive a bump in minutes.

Scores in double figures Springer tallied 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 27 minutes in Monday's 110-106 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Springer showed out Monday, making an impact on defense and scoring in double figures for the first time as a member of the Jazz. The 22-year-old has seen little playing time due to a nagging back injury and his low position on the depth chart, but logged significant minutes Monday with Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen and Cody Williams out. Should injuries continue to affect the team's rotations, Springer could be in line for more playing time.

Available Sunday Springer (back) is available for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Springer will return from a four-game absence streak due to back soreness. The 22-year-old could receive an uptick in playing time due to Lauri Markkanen (illness) being sidelined.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Springer (back) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Springer has missed nine of the last 10 games for the Jazz while dealing with back soreness. If he can't play against Cleveland, the next opportunity for him to return to the floor will be Tuesday against the Grizzlies.

Ruled out Friday Springer (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Impact After previously being listed as questionable, Springer is set to miss his fourth consecutive game due to injury management for lower back soreness. The 22-year-old's role in the Jazz's rotation has been limited, and his absence shouldn't affect the lineup significantly.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Springer (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Springer has missed his team's last three matchups while attending to a back injury. The team will presumably monitor how he feels during shootaround and warmups before providing another update on his availability.

Ruled out for Wednesday Springer (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Impact Springer will miss his third consecutive contest due to back soreness. His next chance to play will come Friday against Boston. The 22-year-old hasn't been a regular part of the club's rotation, so his absence shouldn't cause any major waves.

Won't go Sunday Springer (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact As expected, Springer will miss Sunday's contest due to back soreness. His next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Bulls. The 22-year-old hasn't been a regular part of the club's rotation, though Johnny Juzang could see a slight bump in minutes due to Springer being sidelined Sunday.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Sunday Springer (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Springer was initially listed as questionable but now is unlikely to play Sunday. After a hefty fine for resting healthy players, Utah is now rolling out its usual starters on a more consistent basis, leaving little room for Springer in the rotation.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Springer is questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to low back soreness.

Impact Springer hasn't been part of the rotation lately, and before logging 17 minutes off the bench against the Raptors on Friday, he had missed five straight contests with the same injury that landed him on the injury report ahead of Sunday's contest. His potential absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Re-enters rotation Friday Springer (back) tallied six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three assists, two steals, one rebound and one block across 17 minutes in Friday's 126-118 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Springer had missed three straight games due to lower-back soreness, but he was cleared to play in both of Utah's last two contests prior to Friday. He didn't appear in either of the previous two games in coach's decisions, but the Jazz opened up a spot in the rotation for Springer on Friday after John Collins (ankle) was ruled out. Collins is expected to miss the next two weeks, but if Keyonte George (foot) is ready to go for the Jazz's next game Sunday in Minnesota, Springer would be at risk of dropping back out of the head coach Will Hardy's 10-man rotation.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

Playing Wednesday Springer (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Springer will add depth to the second unit, but he's not expected to play a significant role in fantasy. He has missed the last four contests with back soreness, although it's worth noting that he was available Monday against the Celtics and didn't play.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Springer (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Impact Springer has been sidelined for each of the last four games for Utah, but the questionable tag suggests he might be able to return Wednesday. If that's the case though, he should play off the bench and not carry a lot of fantasy upside.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Monday Springer (back) is available for Monday's game against Boston.

Impact Springer will return from a three-game absence streak Monday due to soreness in his lower back. The 22-year-old swingman has received double-digit playing time in each of his last four appearances for Utah, during which he has averaged 3.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.3 rebounds across 13.3 minutes per contest.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Springer (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Springer has missed the past three games for Utah and remains day-to-day. He does have a chance to see some minutes if he's cleared, as Keyonte George (foot) and Jordan Clarkson (foot) are both sidelined.
