Keyonte George News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Scores team-high 31 points George had 31 points (12-23 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 43 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 loss to the Heat.

Impact George led the Jazz with 31 points, tallying double-digit scoring for the sixth time in the past seven games. While his points production has been trending in the right direction, George still has a couple of glaring holes in his fantasy game. He has been outside the top 150 over the past two weeks, due to his poor efficiency and lack of defensive contributions. With that said, he remains a must-roster player, especially as the Jazz continue to lean more into their youth.

Top distributor to boost offense George reeled in 19 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and one steal over 31 minutes in Thursday's 115-107 loss to Orlando.

Impact George led all players in Thursday's contest in assists while finishing perfect from the free throw line and posting a team-high-tying point total in a near double-double performance. George has handed out nine or more dimes in five games this season, his first with at least 10 or more points. He has now tallied 18 or more points in 11 outings, including in two of his last five appearances.

Struggles offensively in win George finished Sunday's 128-109 victory over San Antonio with seven points (3-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes.

Impact George salvaged a poor shooting night by adding production across all major categories. Although it does appear as though George is going to feature in the starting lineup for the remainder of the season, his upside remains limited. He should probably be rostered in most leagues but typically offers upside in a couple of categories, those being threes and assists.

Flourishes against Golden State George supplied 33 points (11-22 FG, 9-16 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and three steals across 41 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 140-137 loss to the Warriors.

Impact George enjoyed the best night of his rookie campaign Thursday, as his prolific outside shooting helped him post a season-high 33 points. The 20-year-old guard also made an impact defensively, recording three steals for the first time in 2023-24. Across George's last 10 starts, he is averaging 14.4 points, 5.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 29.3 minutes.

Impact George struggled to find his shooting touch in this one, but head coach Will Hardy noted after the game that the 20-year-old will be the starter moving forward. "It's time," said Hardy. "Keyonte stepping into that role is ultimately what's best for our team moving forward." This change means a demotion for Kris Dunn, who logged only 19 minutes in Monday's loss.

Posts double-double off bench George ended with 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), 10 rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 123-108 win over the Bucks.

Impact George was surprisingly active on the boards against Milwaukee, setting a career high with 10 rebounds after grabbing no more than six in any of his 18 previous contests since the start of the new year. The double-double was the point guard's first as a pro and helped him net a plus-16 point differential in the comeback victory. George has shown some intriguing skills in his rookie campaign, but he's been too inconsistent to be a viable fantasy option in standard leagues. That said, he may be figuring things out on offense, as he's now recorded double-digit points in a career-high five straight games.

Scores 21 points off bench George amassed 21 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 147-114 loss to the Nets.

Impact George has not recorded a start since Dec. 13, but he seems to be performing well in a reserve role for the time being, as he might end up as the Jazz's starting point guard if the likes of Collin Sexton and/or Jordan Clarkson end up getting traded before the deadline. George has scored in double digits in five of his last eight outings, a span in which he's averaging 11.5 points, 3.5 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game. Even if he has a limited role for the time being, his upside is high enough to hang on to him in most formats.

Productive from charity stripe George notched 12 points (1-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 153-124 loss to New Orleans.

Impact George was held to single-digit scoring totals in his last two appearances and was inefficient from the floor Tuesday, but he salvaged his scoring line by making a season-high nine free throws in the blowout loss. He's been inconsistent since the start of January, averaging 10.6 points, 3.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game.

Posts 19 points in win George supplied 19 points (7-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes off the bench in Monday's 132-116 win over the Bucks.

Impact After trailing by 31 points at halftime, the Bucks outscored the Jazz by a 44-23 margin in the third quarter to make the game competitive, but George stepped up in the final 12 minutes to snuff out the rally. The rookie provided six points in the first minute of the fourth quarter and assisted on a Jordan Clarkson layup with 10:19 remaining to give the Jazz a 15-point cushion that proved to be enough to close out the Bucks. George and Clarkson both look poised to remain on the second unit with Kris Dunn and Collin Sexton having taken control of starting roles while the former two players missed time with injuries in December, but all four guards could continue to hover in the 20-to-30-minute range. Though George is shooting just 37.1 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from three-point range on the season, he's shown some improvement in both areas (40.3 percent, 37 percent) in his eight games since returning from a foot injury.

Comes up big late in win George totaled 21 points (6-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 victory over the Heat.

Impact George finished as Utah's second-leading scorer Saturday, notching just one fewer point than Collin Sexton. Whereas Sexton posted most of his production in the first half, George was particularly effective in the fourth quarter, when he scored 12 points, half of which came on a pair of late three-pointers that helped the Jazz hang onto a narrow lead. This was the point guard's third game since returning from a foot injury that sidelined him for six straight contests. He's been a reserve since his return, averaging 11.7 points, 3.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.7 triples over the trio of games.

Shaky shooting in return George (foot) scored 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and added four assists and one steal across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 130-118 win over the Spurs.

Impact The rookie had been operating as the Jazz's starting point guard prior to suffering a right foot injury Dec. 13, but head coach Will Hardy opted to bring George back in a bench role Tuesday in his return from a six-game absence. George didn't exactly light it up in his first game back in action, but he still saw more minutes than starter Kris Dunn (19 minutes) and should eventually move back up to the top unit once his foot injury is further in the rear-view mirror.

Will play Tuesday George (foot) is active for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.

Impact George is set to return from a six-game absence due to right foot soreness. Talen Horton-Tucker (foot) has also been cleared for action following a two-game absence, so Kris Dunn and Collin Sexton will see decreased usage. That being said, Sexton has been excellent in George's stead, averaging 22.8 on 45.9 percent shooting over the last six games, making him a candidate to maintain a sizable role while George ramps up.

DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

May play Tuesday George (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact George has missed six straight games due to a sore right foot but is trending in the right direction. This is the first time the rookie has been listed as something other than out during his current absence, but even if he's cleared to suit up, George will presumably operate on a minutes restriction.

DECEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Saturday George (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Impact George continues to deal with a sore left foot and will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game. His next chance to play will be Tuesday against the Spurs.

Remains out against Toronto George (foot) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Raptors.

Impact George's absence streak will extend to five games Thursday due to left foot soreness. The rookie guard's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Toronto.

Still out Wednesday George (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact George will miss a fourth straight game due to a sore left foot. He is traveling with the team and participating in on-court activities, so he can be considered questionable, at best, for Thursday's matchup in Detroit. Jordan Clarkson (thigh) also remains out, so Talen Horton-Tucker and Collin Sexton should start again in the backcourt.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Monday George (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact George will be unavailable for a third consecutive game while continuing to deal with a sore left foot. His next opportunity to suit up will be Wednesday against Cleveland.

Sitting out two-game road trip George (foot) won't travel with the Jazz for their upcoming two-game road trip, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact George exited Wednesday's tilt and didn't return after sustaining a left foot injury. Following the contest he underwent X-rays, however, the team is withholding from revealing the results until George is given an MRI on Thursday. While more information regarding the severity of George's injury should be available Thursday, his first chance to play following the road trip will come Monday against the Nets. In the meantime, Collin Sexton, Kris Dunn and Talen Horton-Tucker are candidates to see more work.
