Rotowire
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.
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. Potter generated a nice rebound total despite Nikola Jokic's imposing presence, and the former will probably stick with the NBA club for a few games while Utah tries to get healthy.

Rotowire
The Jazz signed Potter to a two-way deal Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Potter will return to Utah for a third consecutive season on a two-way pact. The 26-year-old averaged a career-high 11.6 minutes in a career-high 16 regular-season appearances last season, during which he averaged 3.3 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 42.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Potter finished Sunday's 127-106 loss to the Kings with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 20 minutes.
The two-way player saw double-digit minutes off the bench for the second game in a row, and he looks as though he could be a regular in the rotation for the rest of the season with the Jazz having shut down Lauri Markkanen (shoulder). Potter submitted big numbers in the G League this season and is now averaging 2.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.6 three-pointers in 10.6 minutes per game through 12 appearances for Utah.
