Keyonte George - Downgraded to out George (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Impact George attempted to play through the illness Wednesday but lasted just six minutes before being removed. Kris Dunn and Talen Horton-Tucker are candidates for expanded roles in George's absence, but Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton will presumably lead Utah's backcourt in usage.

Otto Porter Jr. - Remains out for Wednesday Porter (not with team) is out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Keyonte George - Iffy for Wednesday George (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact George left Monday's game early after six minutes, and he's still feeling under the weather. If his condition doesn't improve Wednesday and he's forced to sit, the Jazz could turn to Kris Dunn and Talen Horton-Tucker to soak up some backcourt minutes.

Lauri Markkanen - Remains out Wednesday Markkanen (quadriceps) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Bulls, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Markkanen will miss his second straight contest Wednesday due to a right quadriceps contusion. Luka Samanic will likely draw another start in his absence. Markkanen's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Denver.

Walker Kessler - Won't play Wednesday Kessler (foot) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact This will be the fourth straight game on the sidelines for Kessler and it's not a great sign that he continues to be ruled out a day in advance. The Jazz will be off until Saturday against the Nuggets after Wednesday's game, but Kessler should be considered questionable at best.

Collin Sexton - Hits for 29 in win over Washington Sexton accumulated 29 points (11-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 127-115 victory over the Wizards.

Impact The shorthanded Jazz got little production from anyone except Sexton, Jordan Clarkson and John Collins -- no other member of the team scored more than 10 points -- but it was enough. Sexton has scored in double digits in 14 straight games, a stretch in which the 25-year-old guard is averaging 20.9 points, 5.6 assists, 2.1 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.1 steals while shooting 50.3 percent from the floor and 47.6 percent from beyond the arc.

John Collins - Career-best six blocks Monday Collins accumulated 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and six blocks over 35 minutes during Monday's 127-115 win over the Wizards.

Impact The six rejections were a career high for Collins, while the double-double was his 20th of the season, and sixth in 13 games since the beginning of February. Over the last month-plus, the former Hawk is averaging 15.5 points, 10.7 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 threes while shooting 56.3 percent from the floor.

Impact The veteran guard led all scorers on the night as he nearly single-handedly carried the shorthanded Jazz to a victory, and he was especially clutch down the stretch. With the game tied 113-113 in the fourth quarter, Clarkson went on an incredible 12-0 run that put the game away for Utah. The double-double was also his career-high sixth of the season, with half of those coming since the beginning of February.

Impact George exited in the first quarter of Monday's game and was promptly ruled out for remainder of the contest. The rookie attempted to play through an illness but was unable to do so -- ultimately leaving the bench area entirely. His next opportunity to take the court comes Wednesday against Chicago.

Luka Samanic - Spot start Monday Samanic will start in place of Lauri Markkanen (quad) Monday against the Wizards, David Locke of Utah's radio network reports.

Impact Samanic will log his first start of the season and the fifth start of his career Monday. He is joined by Taylor Hendricks and John Collins in Utah's frontcourt, while easily representing the least desirable fantasy option of the three.

Keyonte George - Available Monday George (illness) will play Monday versus Washington.

Impact The severity of George's ailment was unclear, but he is set to suit up for his 32nd consecutive contest Monday. He joins a healthy Utah backcourt, although the Jazz will be without Lauri Markkanen (quad) on Monday. George is averaging 15.9 points per game in contests without Markkanen this season.

Keyonte George - Dealing with illness George is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact George is a late addition to the injury report and may join Walker Kessler (foot) and Lauri Markkanen (quad) on the sidelines. It's a tough break for the rookie, who's averaging 16.5 points, 4.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds over his last 14 appearances (eight starts).

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Clarkson - Off injury report Clarkson (illness) is no longer on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Clarkson missed Saturday's game against the Heat due to an illness, but he will return to the lineup Monday. Clarkson is averaging 12.2 points, 7.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 32.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Otto Porter Jr. - Still out Porter (not with team) is out for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Porter has yet to debut for Utah and remains away from the team. The contract buyout deadline has come and gone without any developments, so Porter will be ineligible for the postseason if he ends up getting waived and signing elsewhere.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lauri Markkanen - Won't play Monday Markkanen is out for Monday's game against the Wizards due to a right quad contusion.

Impact Markkanen will miss his first game since Dec. 21 with a quad injury he likely suffered during Saturday's loss to the Heat. Brice Sensabaugh and Talen Horton-Tucker will likely see the biggest uptick in minutes in Markkanen's absence.
