Won't return Saturday Collier sustained a right hamstring injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs and will not return.
Impact Collier left the game in the second quarter and the severity of his injury is unknown. The 20-year-old's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Kings. Collin Sexton, Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way in the backcourt.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Saturday Collins (rest) has been ruled out of Saturday's preseason matchup versus the Spurs, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Collins will miss another outing due to rest, and it is unclear how much game action he will see prior to the start of the regular season. The 27-year-old's next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Kings.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting out Saturday Mills (rest) has been ruled out of Saturday's preseason game versus the Spurs, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Mills will miss another preseason contest due to rest, and it is unclear how much the veteran will see the floor before the start of the regular season. The 36-year-old's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus the Kings.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Resting Saturday Clarkson (rest) has been ruled out of Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.
Impact Clarkson will get a scheduled day of rest as the club is expected to take an extended look at Johnny Juzang and Svi Mykhailiuk. Clarkson's next chance to feature will come Tuesday against the Kings.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Not expected to play Saturday George (knee) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Neither George nor Lauri Markkanen (rest) are expected to play in Saturday's preseason contest, and that shouldn't be surprising regarding the sophomore point guard since he suffered a knee injury in the preseason win over the Mavericks on Thursday. It remains to be seen if George will suit up for the rest of the preseason, though Utah's next preseason game is scheduled for Tuesday against the Kings.
OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Not in starting lineup vs. Spurs Markkanen is not in the starting five for Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact The Jazz will take a look at Cody Williams in the starting five, and it is unclear whether Markkanen will make an appearance off the bench Saturday. The 27-year-old played 29 minutes in Thursday's win over the Mavericks, during which he logged 26 points (9-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and an assist.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Starting against San Antonio Williams is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Lauri Markkanen is not in the starting lineup and not expected to feature, according to Larsen, so Williams will get the nod in his place. The 10th overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft will make his first start of the preseason.
OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Enters starting five Saturday Collier will get the start in Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact With Keyonte George (knee) out, Collier will take his spot in the starting five on Saturday. The 20-year-old is expected to play a prominent role off the bench this season after logging an impressive year at USC, during which he averaged 16.3 points, 4.3 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals across 30.0 minutes per game in 27 regular-season outings.

Jazz optimistic about injury George (knee) will get an MRI on Friday, but the Jazz are optimistic that the injury will not prevent him from playing in the regular-season opener against the Grizzlies on Oct. 23...
Impact George suffered a mild left knee sprain during the third quarter of Tuesday's win over the Mavericks, and while the Jazz are confident he won't have to miss time once their regular season begins, an MRI will provide a more precise diagnosis. George is a pivotal piece on the offensive scheme of the Jazz both on a short-term and long-term picture, and he averaged 13.0 points with 4.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game as a rookie in 2023-24 across 75 regular-season contests.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Grabs 15 rebounds Thursday Kessler finished with nine points (4-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 15 rebounds, an assist, a steal and two blocks across 24 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Impact Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George (knee) and even John Collins delivered solid performances on the offensive end of the court, but Kessler made his presence felt defensively and on the glass, two areas in which he already stands out. It's unclear if Kessler will open the 2024-25 regular season as the starting center for the Jazz, but if that's the case, he'll add some much-needed size and rim protection to a towering Utah lineup that should also feature Markkanen and Taylor Hendricks in the first unit.

Klay Thompson scores 10 points in preseason debut with Dallas

Klay Thompson made his preseason debut with the Dallas Mavericks, scoring 10 points in his new team’s 107-102 loss to the Utah Jazz
OCTOBER 11 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bounces back in win over Dallas Markkanen registered 26 points (9-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and an assist across 29 minutes in Thursday's 107-102 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Impact Markkanen needed a strong performance as a confidence booster following a woeful shooting effort against the Rockets on Monday, and that's exactly what happened here. The star forward led all players in scoring and showed he's more than ready for the start of the regular season, which will be Oct. 23 for Utah in a matchup against Memphis. Markkanen averaged 23.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.2 three-pointers and 2.0 assists in 33.1 minutes per game over 55 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Productive off bench Thursday Clarkson registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 22 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 107-102 preseason win over t...
Impact Clarkson was one of six Utah players who scored in double digits in this contest while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. He could be in line for a more prominent role in the team's final three preseason contests, and possibly in the regular-season opener against the Grizzlies on Oct. 23, in case Keyonte George (knee) receives extra rest or struggles to recover from the injury he sustained in this win over the Mavs.

Impact George put together a strong stat line before slipping on the court in the third quarter and exiting the game. He'll be shut down for the rest of the matchup and the team will likely hold him out of Saturday's exhibition in San Antonio as well to ensure he heads into the regular season at full strength.
OCTOBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Thursday Mills (rest) is available for Thursday's preseason game versus the Mavericks, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mills hasn't seen any action during the team's first two preseason contests. However, the veteran guard isn't dealing with any injury and is available to play Thursday.

Solid outing once again Juzang recorded 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, an assist, two steals and a block across 12 minutes off the bench in Monday's 122-113 preseason win over the Rockets...
Impact Juzang was one of the Jazz's best players for a second consecutive preseason game, and he seems to be gaining steam toward earning a spot on the regular-season roster despite playing on a two-way deal. Juzang has shot 11-for-14 from the field in two preseason games, and his performance over the subsequent contests could strengthen his grip on a rotation role with the regular season approaching quickly.
OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles vs. Houston Markkanen finished with 17 points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 11-13 FT), four rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason win over the Rockets.
Impact On the surface, Markkanen's stat line looked good, as he led the Jazz in scoring in this preseason win. However, he would've had a woeful performance hadn't it been for his 13 trips to the charity stripe. One positive aspect is that Markkanen is finding ways to get the job done even when his shot isn't falling, and it's not like the preseason numbers will have any impact on his role as the Jazz's primary offensive threat ahead of the regular-season opener vs. Memphis on Oct. 23.
OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Scores 13 points Monday George posted 13 points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, four assists and a steal across 25 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason win over the Rockets.
Impact George has scored a combined 25 points while going 7-for-13 from the field in two preseason games, and it seems he's getting into a good rhythm with the start of the 2024-25 campaign just around the corner. George is expected to be a central figure for Utah both in the short-term and long-term scenario, meaning he should be a strong fantasy option across all formats in his role of being the point guard of a rebuilding team with only one proven offensive threat ahead of him in the pecking order.
