Starting Monday vs. Chicago Potter is in the Jazz's starting lineup against the Bulls on Monday.

Impact Potter has recently been playing in the G League, but he'll make his 10th start of the season with the Jazz on Monday (and first since Feb. 8). As a starter this season, Potter has averaged 6.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 blocks over 24.2 minute per game.

Fares well off bench Potter chipped in 12 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact John Collins (back), Lauri Markkanen (back) and Walker Kessler (illness) all sat this game out for the Jazz, but they are considered day-to-day. As the season continues to progress, it's only logical to assume that guys like Potter could be given more opportunities since the Jazz have very little to play for these days, making him a player worth monitoring in deeper formats.

Impact Utah were without several key contributors for the second leg of this back-to-back set, allowing Potter to see a healthy workload of minutes. With the Jazz positioned to be sellers at the upcoming trade deadline, Potter is someone who could find himself with a larger role down the stretch. In eight starts this season, he's been mostly underwhelming with averages of 6.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 0.9 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 24.0 minutes.

Out due to illness Potter is out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Potter was coming off three straight starts, so the Jazz will have to shake things up in their lineup once again.

Impact Potter received his second start of the season, filling in for John Collins who was ruled out due to a hip issue. He ended his night scoring a season-high 11 points, serving up an admirable performance.

Starting vs. Cleveland Potter is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

Impact The Jazz are switching things up in the frontcourt due to the absence of John Collins (hip), and Potter will get the nod at power forward as his replacement.

Ruled out Tuesday Potter (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact The 26-year-old big man will be held out of Tuesday's game due to an illness, meaning the club could take an extended look at Svi Mykhailiuk, Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks.

Unlikely to play Tuesday Potter (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Potter has played at least 13 minutes in three straight games while Utah has been shorthanded recently, so his expected absence should open up a few more minutes for guys like Svi Mykhailiuk, Brice Sensabaugh and Drew Eubanks.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Potter (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Potter is typically an emergency depth option for the Jazz, but he's been logging a decent amount of minutes lately with so many injuries in Utah. If Potter is unable to go, it's possible that Drew Eubanks soaks up a small handful of minutes in the frontcourt.

Returning to bench Saturday Potter is not in the Jazz's starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.

While Markkanen and Collins are available for Saturday's game, Potter could see some playing time off the bench due to Filipowski still being sidelined.

Grabs 16 rebounds as fill-in Potter finished with nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 16 rebounds, three assists and one block across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The two-way prospect made it out of the G League due to Utah's numerous frontcourt absences, and he was a direct fill-in for John Collins (knee) in the loss. He generated a nice rebound total despite Nikola Jokic's imposing presence, and he will probably stick with the prime-time club for a few games while Utah gets healthy.

Starting against Denver Potter is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Potter will make his first appearance of the season Wednesday, though it's unclear if he'll handle a big workload. He'll get the start at power forward due to the absence of John Collins (knee), Lauri Markkanen (personal) and Kyle Filipowski (lower leg).
