KRIS DUNN NEWS

Tossed from game Dunn was ejected from Friday's game versus the Celtics after receiving two technical fouls, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dunn was ejected after getting into an altercation with Blake Griffin. He will finish the game posting 16 points, four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 23 minutes.

Plays worst game of season Friday Dunn ended Friday's 144-116 loss to Milwaukee with two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes.

Impact Dunn struggled against Milwaukee's championship-caliber defense, producing his worst outing since joining Utah. On the positive side, he handed out six dimes to better-performing teammates and had just one turnover. Fantasy managers in nine-category leagues are getting excellent value out of Dunn, as he hasn't committed more than two turnovers in a game this season compared to his 5.2 assists per game.

Excels from bench in loss Dunn closed Wednesday's 127-115 loss to the Trail Blazers with 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes.

Impact Dunn has come in handy due to the absences of Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Collin Sexton (hamstring). The Jazz have elected to give rookie Ochai Agbaji the starting gig over the seven-year vet, but Dunn's recent signing will give the team more experience as it makes a final push for the playoffs.

Dazzles off bench in win Dunn finished with 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 31 minutes in Monday's 128-120 win over the Kings.

Impact Though the Jazz stuck with Talen Horton-Tucker as their starting point guard while both Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (finger) remained sidelined Monday, Dunn ended up seeing most of the time on the ball against the Kings while Horton-Tucker dealt with foul trouble for much of the night. Dunn was able to make the most of the elevated playing time, as he established new season highs in points and assists while producing his offense efficiently and making his usual contributions in the defensive categories. Though his minutes could dip back into the low-to-mid 20s if Horton-Tucker avoids the whistle Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, Dunn still profiles as a strong streaming option for steals and assists in that contest with the likelihood that both Clarkson and Sexton will continue to sit.

Stays in Utah rest of season Dunn and the Jazz agreed Tuesday on a one-year contract, Tony Jones and Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Dunn's second 10-day deal lapsing, the Jazz will unsurprisingly keep the 28-year-old in the fold for the rest of the season after he's thus far proven to be an indispensable rotation piece off the bench since Utah's backcourt depth was gutted at the trade deadline and with the losses of Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (finger) to injuries. Through his first nine games with Utah, Dunn has averaged 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 22.2 minutes per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the field. While that type of production would make Dunn a roster-worthy option in 12- and even 10-team category leagues if he can sustain it, he could see his minutes dip into the teens as soon as the Jazz's next game Saturday, when both Sexton and Clarkson could be available to play against the Celtics.

Near double-double off bench Dunn supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block across 23 minutes during Thursday's 131-124 victory over Orlando.

Impact Dunn, who's operating on a second 10-day deal, continues to impress with Utah. He's scored in double figures in each of his seven appearances and is averaging 12.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.9 steals in 23.3 minutes during that stretch. He's certainly playing well enough to garner a rest-of-season contract, but his usage is presumably tied to the availability of Jordan Clarkson (finger) and Collin Sexton (hamstring).

Lands second 10-day deal Dunn was signed to a second 10-day contract by the Jazz on Saturday.

Impact Dunn joined the Jazz on a 10-day deal on Feb. 10 and appeared in all four games since signing, averaging 12.0 points, 4.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 22.3 minutes. He has stepped into a larger role with Collin Sexton (hamstring) and Jordan Clarkson (thumb) sidelined but could settle into the long-term backup point guard spot if he continues this caliber of play.

Stays relevant Tuesday Dunn ended with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-3 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 102-94 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Dunn was solid off the bench once again Tuesday, continuing to push for a permanent contract. Now on his second straight 10-day deal, Dunn has thrived as the backup point guard thanks to Collin Sexton's (hamstring) injury. A known defensive specialist, Dunn has been able to chip in on the offensive end over the past three games, an element of his game that could certainly do with some refining. Although his ROS value is unknown, he is worth grabbing for now, even in standard formats.

Impact Since signing a 10-day deal with the Jazz coming out of the All-Star break, Dunn has already claimed a steady role on the second unit while the Utah backcourt has been depleted by Collin Sexton's hamstring injury and a slew of players leaving the team following the trade deadline. In his first two games with the Jazz, Dunn has averaged 13.0 points on 52.2 percent shooting from the field, but that kind of scoring production probably isn't sustainable for the career 42.2 percent shooter. Instead, if Dunn is able to maintain a near-20-minute role for Utah or see his opportunities increase, he would bring his most value in the assists and steals columns.

Lands 10-day deal with Utah The Jazz signed Dunn to a 10-day contract Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact After trading Mike Conley away at the deadline, waiving Russell Westbrook and Leandro Bolmaro and then losing Collin Sexton to a hamstring injury in their final game before the All-Star break, the Jazz were desperate to add depth at point guard heading into the second half of their schedule. The signing of Dunn -- the No. 5 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft -- and Frank Jackson to 10-day deals helps address the lack of backcourt depth, and both players could be candidates to move into the rotation when Utah returns to action Thursday against the Thunder, Dunn has appeared in just 14 NBA contests (three starts) since the end of the 2019-20 campaign, but he averaged 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists across 20 G League outings with the Capital City Go-Go in 2022-23.

Out for finale Dunn (ankle) is out Sunday against the Jazz, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.

Impact Dunn's time with the Blazers has come to an end due to a sprained right ankle. He appeared in 14 games and averaged 7.6 points, 5.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 24.0 minutes. It's possible he showed enough to earn a contract somewhere next season.

Won't play Friday Dunn has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks due to a right ankle sprain, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Dunn has drawn back-to-back starts while Brandon Williams was dealing with a quadriceps injury. However, Williams figures to be back in the starting lineup Friday due to Dunn's absence. Ben McLemore, CJ Elleby and other reserve guards will likely have increased roles off the bench as well.
