RUDY GAY NEWS

Absent from Thursday's practice Gay didn't practice Thursday since he was feeling under the weather, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Both Gay and Walker Kessler were unable to participate in Thursday morning's practice session due to illnesses. It's unclear whether either will be unavailable for Friday's game against the Nuggets. If Gay is held out against Denver, Talen Horton-Tucker is a strong candidate to see increased minutes.

Efficient in shocking win Gay chipped in 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 123-102 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact As has been the trend in recent seasons, Gay came off the bench but looked comfortable in that role, as he was an efficient scorer while finishing as one of Utah's best players in this shocking win. That said, the nature of his role would suggest Gay shouldn't be trusted as a regular fantasy contributor, as he's often prone to mix strong games with some below-par performances from time to time.

Solid off bench in loss Gay recorded 16 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds over 19 minutes in a preseason loss to the Mavericks on Friday.

Impact Gay finished second on the team in scoring in the contest despite playing less than 20 minutes. This was the first time in three exhibition games that he finished with double-digit points. The veteran isn't a great fit on the rebuilding Jazz, so he shouldn't be expected to put up fantasy-relevant numbers while he's on the team. There's a decent chance that he gets moved elsewhere during the campaign.

Leading scorer in road loss Gay notched 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 loss to Dallas.

Impact The veteran forward's 18 points led the Jazz on a night in which Donovan Mitchell couldn't get going and Rudy Gobert (leg) and Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) were both in street clothes. It was also Gay's best scoring effort since early January, and he'd scored in double digits only once in the prior 15 games coming into Sunday. While Utah's injuries might continue to get Gay a higher usage rate, it's tough to expect a repeat performance any time soon.

Scores nine points off bench Gay posted nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Monday's 114-106 loss to the Nets.

Impact Gay missed just one shot en route to his third straight game with at least nine points. The veteran forward has played at least 10 minutes in 13 straight games, but he figures to continue garnering an increased role as long as Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) is sidelined.

Pedestrian numbers in return Gay (knee/illness) finished with three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 13 minutes Sunday in the Jazz's 118-114 win over the Suns.

Impact Back in action after missing the Jazz's previous six games with a sore right knee and an illness, Gay re-entered head coach Quin Snyder's rotation as a replacement for Eric Paschall, who didn't leave the bench. Gay could pick up a few extra minutes in the games to come now that he's healthy again, but he'll be little more than a deep-league option with Utah at full strength in the frontcourt.

Available Sunday Gay (knee/illness) will be available for Sunday's contest against the Suns, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Gay missed six straight games due to a sore right knee and is also dealing with a non-COVID illness, but the veteran is expected to be available Sunday for the first time since Feb. 4. He'll likely be limited in his return to action, but it's still a positive sign to see him clear of the injury report. Gay is averaging 8.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 20.0 minutes per game this season.

Could suit up Sunday Gay (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns with a non-COVID-19-related illness.

Impact A sore right knee has prevented Gay from playing in each of the past six games, but that injury looks to be a lesser concern than the illness as Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff approaches. While that's good news for Gay, he still may need to prove his conditioning is up to par during pregame warmups before the Jazz sign off on making him available. If Gay can't go Sunday, both Eric Paschall and Danuel House would likely retain spots in head coach Quin Snyder's rotation as backup forwards.

Officially out Gay (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Mavericks, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact No surprise here, as Gay was deemed doubtful heading into the evening. The absence will be his sixth straight as the result of right knee soreness. His next opportunity to suit up will come Sunday versus the Suns.
