Simone Fontecchio - Will be available Friday Fontecchio (foot) is available for Friday's contest against the Hawks, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Impact Fontecchio missed Wednesday's matchup against Toronto due to left foot soreness and was initially listed as questionable for Friday. While the undrafted rookie has been cleared to return, he isn't expected to play many minutes, as he's made just five appearances since Dec. 26.

Mike Conley - Cashes in at line Conley posted 19 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), eight assists, three rebounds and two blocks over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 131-128 win over the Raptors.
Impact Conley's perfect shooting from the free-throw line helped him score a season-high 19 points. The veteran point guard's two blocks were tied for his highest total of 2022-23. Conley also managed to dish out eight assists while turning the ball over just three times.

Jordan Clarkson - Offers strong secondary scoring Clarkson logged 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 131-128 win over the Raptors.
Impact He finished second on the Jazz in scoring behind All-Star candidate Lauri Markkanen (28 points), ending a three-game lull in which Clarkson averaged 16.7 points on 40.4 percent shooting from the field. Though Clarkson owns the second-best true shooting percentage of his career (56.8 percent), efficiency from the field has never been his strong suit, so he'll continue to retain slightly more value in points leagues than eight- or nine-category leagues.

Walker Kessler - Blocks seven shots in win Kessler supplied 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 131-128 win over the Raptors.
Impact Kessler was an absolute force on defense right from tip off, racking up a whopping six blocks in the first quarter alone before entering the break with eight points on 4-of-5 shooting to go along with seven rebounds. He grabbed another seven boards in the second half, five of which came in the fourth quarter to help the Jazz seal up the win at home and give the big man his 11th double-double of the 2023-23 campaign. Kessler missed only two shots on the night and grabbed a team-high 14 rebounds, while his seven blocks also marked both a game and season high.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lauri Markkanen - Team-high 28 points in win Markkanen had 28 points (7-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 131-128 win over Toronto.
Impact Markkanen paced the Jazz in scoring, and his 13 rebounds were only one behind Walker Kessler for the team lead. He's now recorded a double-double in six of his last eight contests and has shot above 50 percent in five of his last six, continuing to build a strong case for the first All-Star nod of his career.

Simone Fontecchio - Sits Wednesday with sore foot Fontecchio didn't play in Wednesday's 131-128 win over the Raptors due to a sore left foot.
Impact The 27-year-old rookie from Italy hasn't been a regular part of head coach Will Hardy's rotation since late December, so his absence Wednesday likely didn't affect how the minutes were divvied up among the Jazz forwards. Fontecchio can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Jazz's next game Friday against the Hawks.
